All on 8 dental implants
Experience the Ultimate Stability with All on 8 Dental Implants
At Elite Dental Tours in Costa Rica, we offer All on 8 dental implants, the most advanced full-arch restoration technique available today. This procedure provides enhanced stability and a natural look for patients needing a complete smile makeover. If you’re looking for a durable, aesthetically pleasing, and cost-effective solution for your missing teeth, All on 8 may be the perfect option.
What is All on 8?
The All on 8 procedure provides maximum stability by placing eight implants along the jaw to support a full arch of teeth. Ideal for patients with extensive bone loss, the process begins with a full dental assessment and imaging. The implants are then inserted into the jawbone, followed by the attachment of temporary teeth. Over time, the implants fuse with the bone, and after the healing period, a permanent, custom-designed set of teeth is placed, ensuring a natural look and long-term durability for your smile.
Why Choose All on 8 Implants in Costa Rica?
Patients travel to Costa Rica for All on 8 dental implants for various reasons, including:
- Financial Savings: In the U.S., full-arch dental implants can be prohibitively expensive. With Elite Dental Tours, you can achieve superior dental care at a fraction of the cost, saving 60-70% while receiving world-class treatment.
- Advanced Stability: The All on 8 technique uses eight implants to anchor a complete arch of teeth, providing more support and durability than other methods, such as All on 4 or All on 6.
- High-Quality Aesthetic and Functional Results: The All on 8 dental implants create a natural-looking smile, restoring both aesthetics and functionality for patients who want the highest level of dental restoration.
Comprehensive Care: Our expert team ensures a comfortable, safe, and effective procedure, with personalized treatment plans designed to meet your dental health goals.
All-on-8 Dental Implants Procedure
The All-on-8 procedure is a premium full-mouth dental restoration technique designed for patients seeking maximum stability and durability.

At Elite Dental Tours, we connect patients with leading dental specialists in Costa Rica who are experts in advanced implant procedures like All-on-8, delivering world-class care at highly affordable prices.
What Is the All-on-8 Procedure?
The All-on-8 procedure is an advanced version of full-arch restoration where eight titanium implants are inserted into the jawbone to anchor a complete set of permanent teeth. This method offers the highest level of support and is often recommended for patients with:
- Strong jawbone structure
- Severe tooth loss
- High functional demands (e.g., heavy chewing)
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-8 implants offer a permanent solution that mimics natural teeth in both appearance and function.
All-on-8 Procedure Steps
Here’s an overview of the standard All-on-8 procedure steps:
- Initial Consultation & Planning
The dentist conducts a comprehensive evaluation, including digital X-rays, 3D CT scans, and oral assessments. Based on your needs and bone condition, a personalized treatment plan is developed. - Implant Placement Surgery
Eight implants are placed surgically in the jaw under local anesthesia or conscious sedation. These implants serve as the foundation for the new set of teeth. In many cases, a temporary prosthesis is attached the same day. - Healing Phase (Osseointegration)
Over the next 3–6 months, the implants fuse with your jawbone in a process known as osseointegration, ensuring long-term stability. - Permanent Prosthetic Installation
After the healing phase, the temporary bridge is replaced with a custom-designed permanent prosthesis, built for durability, function, and a natural look.
How Long Does the All-on-8 Procedure Take?
Wondering how long the All-on-8 procedure takes? Here’s what to expect:
- Surgical Phase: The implant surgery typically takes 4–5 hours per arch.
- Same-Day Temporary Teeth: Many patients receive a temporary bridge on the same day as the surgery.
- Healing Period: Approximately 3 to 6 months for full integration of implants.
- Final Visit: A second trip to Costa Rica is usually required for placing the permanent prosthetic, typically lasting 3 to 5 days.
Elite Dental Tours helps organize both treatment phases with trusted dental clinics, ensuring a seamless and cost-effective dental travel experience.
