What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants represent a revolutionary approach to full arch rehabilitation. Unlike traditional dental implants, which often require a separate implant for each missing tooth, this method uses four strategically placed implants to support a complete set of fixed replacement teeth. By using a combination of axial and tilted posterior implants, this technique minimizes the need for bone grafting while maximizing stability.
This treatment concept provides a streamlined solution for edentulous patients, offering immediate rehabilitation with a fixed bridge. Whether you’ve experienced significant bone loss or are tired of conventional dentures, All-on-4 implants may be the perfect treatment alternative.
Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
Patients undergoing treatment with All-on-4 implants enjoy numerous advantages:
- Permanent Stability: The four implants create a stable foundation for your replacement teeth, ensuring they remain securely in place. Unlike removable dentures, this solution feels just like natural teeth.
- Immediate Results: With immediate loading, patients can leave the surgical procedure with a fully functional set of fixed teeth on the same day as their implant placement.
- Minimal Bone Grafting: Because angled implants are used to maximize contact with the existing bone structure, most patients avoid the need for bone grafts or sinus lifts, even in cases of poor-quality bone.
- Improved Oral Health: By replacing missing teeth and supporting implants directly into the jawbone, All-on-4 implants prevent further bone loss and maintain the integrity of surrounding anatomical structures.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to individual implants for each tooth, All-on-4 provides a more affordable treatment option while delivering exceptional results.
The All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure
Comprehensive Evaluation and Treatment Plan
The process begins with a thorough evaluation, including 3D imaging to assess bone density, soft tissue health, and the alignment of remaining teeth (if any). Your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs, ensuring the best possible outcome.
Tooth Extraction and Implant Placement
If you have remaining teeth that cannot be preserved, tooth extraction will be performed during the surgical procedure. The implants—two anterior axial implants and two posterior tilted implants—are then placed to provide optimal support.
Temporary Prosthesis
Immediate loading allows patients to receive a temporary fixed prosthesis on the same day, enabling them to enjoy improved functionality and aesthetics right away.
Healing and Final Prosthesis Placement
Over several months, the implants integrate with the bone through osseointegration. Once healed, the final prosthesis—a durable, custom-designed fixed bridge—is securely attached, completing your smile transformation.
