Bottom line up front: All-on-4 replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically angled implants, supporting a fixed prosthetic with a full set of teeth. In Colombia, All-on-4 costs $6,300–$11,000 per arch (vs $20,000–$30,000 US). The procedure can provide a full set of functional teeth in as little as one day ("teeth in a day"), with a permanent prosthetic placed after 3–6 months of healing.
How All-on-4 Works
Developed by Nobel Biocare, the All-on-4 concept uses four implants to support a complete arch of teeth. Two implants are placed vertically in the front of the jaw, and two are angled at 30–45 degrees in the back. This angulation provides maximum bone contact without requiring bone grafts — even in patients with significant bone loss. A temporary fixed prosthetic is attached the same day, so you leave the clinic with functional teeth.

Candidacy
All-on-4 is designed for patients who are fully edentulous (no remaining teeth) or have teeth that are failing and need full extraction. It is also an option for patients who have been told they do not have enough bone for traditional implants — the angled posterior implants maximize existing bone. Your dentist will determine candidacy with a CBCT (3D) scan that maps your bone volume precisely.
Trip Timeline
Trip 1 (7–10 days): CBCT scan, treatment planning, extractions (if needed), implant placement, temporary fixed prosthetic attached same day. You leave with functional teeth.
Healing (4–6 months): Osseointegration at home. Eat soft foods initially, gradually returning to normal diet.
Trip 2 (5–7 days): Final prosthetic (acrylic or zirconia) fabricated and fitted. This is your permanent restoration.
