What Is the All-On-Four Treatment Concept?

All-On-Four involves placing four strategically positioned dental implants in the upper or lower jaw to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This technique offers a stable and permanent solution for extensive tooth loss.

What Are the Advantages of All-On-Four Compared to Traditional Implants?

Advantages include:

• Fewer implants needed, reducing complexity and recovery time.
• Elimination of the need for bone grafting in most cases.
• Immediate loading of temporary teeth, often on the same day.
• Enhanced stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures.

How Is the All-On-Four Procedure Performed?

The procedure involves:

• Detailed Planning: Using advanced imaging to plan implant placement.
• Surgical Placement: Inserting four implants into the jawbone.
• Immediate Loading: Attaching a temporary denture on the same day.
• Final Restoration: Fitting the permanent prosthetic teeth after healing.

What Is the Recovery and Aftercare for All-On-Four Implants?

Recovery involves a brief period of adjustment with dietary modifications. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits are crucial for the longevity of the implants.
