Another great advantage of the All-on-4® concept is that the dentures are firmly affixed to the implants at a specific angle. This means that a successful procedure can be performed without bone replacement surgery, even in case of low bone mass. Thus, the process is shorter, recovery faster, and treatment more cost-effective. Via this technique, you are saved from severe surgical and financial burdens while achieving a satisfying result and a significant improvement in your quality of life.
The treatment steps
according to the All-on-4® concept
1. Consultation
Before treatment, our dental surgeon examines the condition of your teeth and jaw structure and evaluates your panoramic X-ray or CT scan in order to get the most accurate information to plan the size and position of the implants to be set in place. During the consultation, he answers any questions you may have and then prepare a personalized treatment plan and price quote.
2. Installation of the implants and temporary fixed bridge
Following the consultation, oral surgery and implantation can take place the next day. After extracting the remaining but unsalvageable teeth, four (sometimes six) implants are immediately inserted into the upper jaw and/or four into the lower jaw. As the implants are positioned at a special angle, we can fit and attach a complete set of teeth using just four (or six) implants per jaw.
Within 48-72 hours, a fixed, non-removable temporary restoration, custom-made in our dental laboratory, is inserted so you never have to spend another day without teeth!
3. Final denture insertion
After approximately 3 to 4 months, once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, we proceed with the placement of the final restoration. The material used for the bridge is chosen based on the patient’s preferences and individual needs. One of the most popular choices is innovative zirconia – a strong, durable, and remarkably lifelike solution that delivers both function and aesthetics of the highest standard.
4. Regular check-up and dental hygiene treatment
Yearly dental check-ups are necessary when wearing an All-on-4® implant, so schedule your annual appointments with us. We suggest two controls per year for patients with periodontological problems.
Attend professional cleaning appointments every 6 months. Tartar can form on artificial restorations in the same way as on normal teeth, so regular dental scaling performed by a professional dental hygienist is necessary to remove plaque and tartar and keep your mouth clean and healthy.
