All on Four
What is the all-on-four implant technique?
The all-on-four implant technique is a procedure in which a dental prosthesis is fixed on the same day to four dental implants placed at selected angles in patients who have lost all their teeth.
What are the advantages of all-on-four implants?
The advantages of all-on-four treatment include:
- It offers patients without teeth the possibility of receiving a fixed dental prosthesis on the same day through a single surgical procedure.
- The operation is simpler because additional advanced procedures such as sinus lifting or bone augmentation are not performed.
- Dental implant surgery takes less time.
- The cost is lower than conventional implant treatment because fewer implants are used and additional surgical procedures are not required.
- It provides a personalised aesthetic appearance, smile line and smile design.
- Cleaning and maintenance are easier than with conventional fixed implant-supported prostheses.
- It is suitable for patients who cannot use removable dentures or have a strong gag reflex.
- Its design differs from a complete denture. It does not cover the palate, making adaptation and use easier.
- Fewer treatment appointments are needed, making it suitable for patients living outside the city.
All on Four · Frequently asked questions
General patient information. Your examination determines diagnosis and the treatment suitable for you.
What is All-on-Four?
It is an approach supporting a fixed full-arch restoration on four implants in an edentulous jaw. Four implants are not suitable for every patient.
Can fixed teeth be provided the same day?
A temporary fixed restoration may be possible with suitable bone and initial implant stability. Same-day permanent teeth cannot be promised for everyone.
Are four implants enough?
The number depends on bone volume, arch shape and the planned restoration. A treatment label alone cannot determine the appropriate number.
How is a fixed full-arch restoration cleaned?
Use the cleaning aids demonstrated for beneath the prosthesis and around implants daily. Maintenance visits help detect loosening and tissue problems.
