Dental Implants with the highest success rate.
All-on-4 Dental Implants simply means that a full arch of artificial teeth is supported by only 4 dental implants. Typically, posterior implants in the upper and lower jaw are placed tilted to obtain bone anchorage and avoid anatomical structures. The term All-on-4 also includes that implants can be placed immediately (within 24 hours) with a fixed dental arch.
All-on-4 avoids mounting the arch tooth by tooth as in traditional interventions, but proceeds in a single session to restore the patient’s original set of teeth. With the All-on-four technique it is possible to reduce the time and costs of the intervention. Not only that, the innovative method gives the possibility of restoring the functionality of the mouth with an optimal long-term performance, improving the quality of life.
Before proceeding with the intervention with the All on four method, a careful treatment planning is carried out by specialists: the first step of dental therapy is an initial visit aimed at verifying the patient’s general state of health. An x-ray examination is then performed to assess the quantity and quality of the patient’s jawbone.
Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
- Full temporary dental arch within one day after surgery
- Safe and long-lasting solution for missing teeth
- Immediate aesthetic and functional dental rehabilitation
- Rehabilitation of the implant within the shortest possible treatment time
The shortest dental implant procedure possible with the fastest healing time.
What are the advantages of all on 4 dental implants?
The All-on-4 treatment concept was developed to overcome the need for bone augmentation by biasing the posterior implants towards the area of available bone. This bypasses the maxillary sinus in the upper jaw and the mental nerve in the lower jaw. The reduction in the amount of dental implants needed certainly reflects on the financial side for the patient.
Who is the best candidate for the all on 4 dental implants?
The All-on-4 concept is usually a treatment for patients with insufficient amounts of jawbone. It is usually performed on patients who have lost their teeth many years ago and with it the surrounding bone structure. All-on-4 treatment is the minimum requirement for a fixed implant bridge.
However, if the amount of bone and financial means are not limiting, then placing more implants (ie All-on-6) can achieve a safer situation for patients in the long run.
What’s the procedure for all on 4 implants?
It is simply the experience of oral surgery after the injection of local anesthesia. Placement of implants is usually less invasive than tooth extraction and even post-operative complications such as swelling, bruising, discomfort are generally less pronounced than after multiple tooth extractions.
For prosthetic restoration with a fixed arch of artificial teeth (implant bridge), an intraoral impression will be taken directly after implant placement. Placement of the temporary implant bridge is usually done the next day within 24 hours and rarely needs the application of local anesthesia.
After a healing period of approximately 3 months, all implants will be checked for stability and the temporary fixed implant bridge will be replaced with a permanent fixed implant bridge that takes into account the new conditions of the healed gums.
Will the teeth look natural and how will the patient feel after?
Patients who have worn a removable denture and switched to a fixed dental bridge supported by implants feel an immediate improvement in their quality of life. The feedback can sometimes be quite moving, and patients often report that it was one of the best investments of their lives.
The results will look and feel very natural and the patient will regain full confidence in their masticatory function being able to eat anything without exception.
