All-on-4 is a treatment approach that allows for the application of a fixed prosthesis using only four implants in a single jaw for patients who are missing all teeth or who need to have all teeth extracted. It is a comfortable and permanent solution for those who do not want to use removable dentures. In this article, we explain how All-on-4 works.
What is All-on-4?
In All-on-4, four implants strategically placed at angles in the jawbone support a fixed bridge that supports the entire jaw. Thus, complete edentulism is resolved with fewer implants and a fixed prosthesis.
Who is it suitable for?
This is suitable for patients who are missing all their teeth, who will lose teeth due to advanced periodontal disease, or who are dissatisfied with removable dentures. Bone condition and overall health are clarified with tomographic evaluation.
Advantages of All-on-4
- Fixed teeth eliminate the problems of loosening and discomfort associated with removable dentures.
- Complete jawline solution with fewer implants.
- In most cases, teeth are removed with fixed temporary teeth on the same day after surgery.
- Because it doesn't cover the palate, taste and speech are more natural.
How does the process work?
Treatment begins with detailed planning using tomography. After implants are placed, a fixed temporary prosthesis is fitted in most cases on the same day. A permanent prosthesis is applied once healing is complete.
