All on 4 Dental Implants Vs Dentures
| All-on-4 Implants | Dentures |
| They are more stable and last longer. | Comparatively less stable. |
| It’s a surgical procedure. | It’s a minimally invasive procedure. |
| All-on-4 implants provide more comfort and a better chewing experience. | Conventional dentures lack comfort as they keep on getting misplaced. |
| They require the same care as a regular tooth. | They require daily high maintenance. |
| Implants are permanent. Thus, you can wear them overnight. | You should take them off before sleeping and soak them in water. |
If you want to get your smile fixed in one trip, some of our clinics offer Acrylic Reinforced Denture at $8500.
It is a strong plastic set of teeth that looks natural and feels light. However, the success rate is around 85–90%, with a lifespan of 5–7 years.
Watch this video to learn which option suits you best: dentures or dental implants.

Aftercare of the treatment
Our dentists’ aftercare tips help ensure the highest success rates-see them below.
Day 1–7 (Immediate Recovery)
Do’s
- Take prescribed antibiotics and pain medications on time.
- Apply ice packs for 15–20 minutes at a time to reduce swelling.
- Eat only soft/liquid foods (soups, yogurt, smoothies, mashed potatoes).
- Rest and keep your head elevated while sleeping.
Don’ts
- Don’t spit, rinse forcefully, or use a straw (may dislodge clot).
- Don’t smoke or drink alcohol.
- Don’t chew on the implant area.
Weeks 2–6 (Healing & Osseointegration)
Do’s
- Gently brush with a soft toothbrush around the implants.
- Rinse with prescribed antimicrobial mouthwash.
- Continue soft diet; slowly introduce slightly firmer foods (scrambled eggs, soft fish, pasta).
- Attend follow-up appointments.
Don’ts
- Don’t eat crunchy, hard, or sticky foods (nuts, chips, caramel).
- Don’t engage in intense exercise if swelling or bleeding persists.
- Don’t miss follow-ups, even if you feel fine.
Months 3–6 (Long-Term Recovery & Final Prosthesis Placement)
Do’s

- Keep scheduled visits for final prosthesis placement.

Don’ts
- Don’t ignore small issues (they can lead to implant failure).

FAQs
Yes, Costa Rican dentists and clinics provide a lifetime warranty on all-on-4 dental implants.
The warranty’s validity is subject to meeting the clinic’s terms and conditions.
The patient should get regular dental checkups, and present dental checkup records and essential documents at the time of claiming the warranty.
Getting a dental implant is not a painful procedure.
It is performed with either general or local anesthesia to numb the mouth completely.
However, after the procedure, the patient may notice mild pain once the numbness wears off.
With proper care, the titanium implants that are placed into the jawbone can last 20 years or even a lifetime, since they naturally fuse with the bone.
The prosthetic teeth last about 10-15 years before needing replacement due to wear and tear.
With regular dental checkups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like smoking or teeth grinding, All-on-4 implants in Costa Rica can offer over 90-95% success rates even after 10 years of use.
