Fixed teeth on four implants for Baldwin Park patients — including long-time denture wearers told they'd lost too much bone.
All-on-4 replaces an entire upper or lower arch of teeth with a fixed bridge supported by four dental implants — two placed toward the front of the jaw and two angled toward the back to engage the bone you still have. It doesn't come out, doesn't need adhesive, and doesn't shift when you eat.
A large share of the Baldwin Park patients who come to us about All-on-4 are already wearing a full denture, and most arrive with the same story: someone told them years ago that they didn't have enough jawbone left for implants. That answer was often correct for conventional implants placed straight down into the ridge. It is frequently wrong for All-on-4.
The technique angles the two rear implants forward to catch the denser bone at the front and middle of the jaw, where bone survives longest after tooth loss. That single design choice is why patients who were ruled out a decade ago turn out to be candidates today — often without a bone graft. The only way to know is a 3D CT scan, which is where every case here starts.
The “4” is a brand name rather than a fixed rule. The number of implants is set by your bone volume and bite — commonly four to six per arch — and Dr. Hanasab decides it from your 3D scan. Either way the result is one fixed full-arch zirconia bridge, not separate crowns on each implant.

Angled posterior implants engage bone that vertical implants miss. Many patients with decades in a denture still have the anterior bone volume All-on-4 needs.
Where conventional full-arch implants might require a graft and months of extra healing first, All-on-4 frequently skips that step — shortening the timeline and the total cost.
A denture rests on the gum ridge and does nothing to load the bone underneath, so the ridge keeps shrinking and the denture keeps loosening. Implants transmit chewing force into the bone the way natural roots do.
No adhesive, no overnight soaking, no relines chasing a ridge that keeps changing shape. The bridge stays in your mouth.
Full-arch implant treatment runs over several months. From Baldwin Park, the trip to each appointment is about 7 minutes.
Not sure All-on-4 is the right procedure for your case? Compare it against implant-supported dentures, single-tooth implants, and conventional dentures, or check whether you're an implant candidate.
Actual patient results. Individual results vary.
All-on-4 cases are planned and placed by Dr. Homan Hanasab, a board-certified periodontist and dental implant specialist with more than 25 years of experience, and team dentist for the LA Clippers. Periodontists are the specialists trained in the gum and bone foundation implants rely on — which is precisely what determines whether a full-arch case lasts.
Consultation, surgery, the provisional bridge, and the final restoration all take place at our West Covina office. Baldwin Park patients aren't handed off to a separate surgical practice partway through treatment.
Our office is about 7 minutes from Baldwin Park. Take I-10 East to the Sunset Ave exit and turn right on Sunset Ave. Free parking on site.

About 7 minutes via I-10. Take I-10 East to the Sunset Ave exit and turn right on Sunset Ave. We're at 436 N. Sunset Ave in West Covina, with free on-site parking.
Usually, yes. Standard implants are placed vertically and need bone height where teeth used to sit — exactly where it's lost first. All-on-4 tilts the two rear implants to reach denser bone toward the front of the jaw. A 3D CT scan at your consultation settles it definitively for your case.
You won't go without teeth. A fixed provisional bridge is attached to the implants at surgery in most cases, so you leave with a full arch already in place. We'll talk through the specifics of your case beforehand.
A new denture costs far less upfront and is the right call for some patients. What it can't do is stop the ridge from shrinking underneath it or give you a bite that doesn't shift. If loose lower dentures or repeated relines are what brought you in, that's usually the deciding factor.
Our office is at 436 N. Sunset Ave, West Covina, CA 91790 — 1.6 miles from Baldwin Park, about 6 minutes without traffic. Take Francisquito Avenue or Ramona Boulevard east, then turn onto Sunset Avenue heading south. From the 10, exit at Sunset Avenue. Parking on site is free.
Baldwin Park is the nearest city to our office in any direction. If you are coming from around Morgan Park you are closer to us than to most dentists inside Baldwin Park.
We see patients from Morgan Park, the Baldwin Park Metrolink station, Ramona Boulevard and the neighbourhoods around Francisquito Avenue. If you are anywhere in Baldwin Park, you are inside the four-to-five-mile radius most of our practice sits in — Baldwin Park is immediately west of us, and the trip is one freeway exit or one main road for almost everyone.
The short version is the credential. Dr. Homan Hanasab holds a DDS plus an MS in Periodontics and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies, and he is the LA Clippers team dentist. A general practice closer to you can handle a cleaning and a filling; what it usually cannot do is place implants into compromised bone, graft it first, or manage gum disease that has gone past the surface. Those all happen in this office, with one clinician responsible from the scan to the final result.
That also means no referral out and back. For a patient driving in from Baldwin Park, the practical difference is fewer trips, not just a shorter one.
It is 1.6 miles, about 6 minutes without traffic, and full-arch work is not something most general practices offer. Take Francisquito Avenue or Ramona Boulevard east, then turn onto Sunset Avenue heading south. From the 10, exit at Sunset Avenue. Surgery day is the longest appointment; bring a driver.
In most cases, yes. A fixed provisional bridge is attached to the implants the same day or shortly after, so you do not go home without teeth. The permanent bridge is fitted once the implants have fused, which takes several months.
That is one of the reasons All-on-4 exists. Two of the four implants are angled to use the denser bone toward the front of the jaw, which often avoids the sinus grafting a conventional full-arch case would need. A 3D scan gives a definitive answer.
Book a consultation at our West Covina office, about 7 minutes from Baldwin Park. You'll get a 3D scan, a straight answer on candidacy, and a written estimate before you decide anything.
