All on 4 Implant

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

The All-on-4 is an innovative, technologically advanced kind of dental implant treatment procedure that caters to patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. It consists of setting up four dental implants on the bone for the placement of a prosthetic full-arch reparation. This is a contrast to the traditional method of setting up an implant for each missing tooth; with All-on-4, a set of teeth can be replaced with just four implants.

How does the treatment work?

Dental implant placement: Four implants in the jawbone, two in the front part of the jaw and two at the angle in the back to achieve maximum stability and support within the bone.

Prosthetic attachment: After the implants have been installed and the gums have healed properly, use prosthetic clips to attach the customized dental prosthetic arch to the implants. Clips are used for easy insertion and removal of the arch from the mouth.

Same-Day Prosthetic Teeth: Temporary pairs of teeth can be placed immediately on the implant, which may well allow the patient to leave the clinic with a nice smile.

All-on-4 Dental Implant Advantages:

Much Cheaper: All-on-4 treatment requires only four implants in an arch; due to this, the procedure becomes cost-effective compared to conventional implant procedures.
Fast Recovery: Patients recover quickly after this procedure becomes less invasive compared to the conventional way. Most patients can resume their usual everyday activities the earliest possible.
Immediate Function: On the very day this procedure is carried out, a temporary set of teeth is always put in place. This makes the patient in a position to speak, eat, and smile with confidence within a very short period of time.
Stable and Durable: All-on-4 fixtures provide a strong basis for prosthetic teeth and stability and durability very close to natural teeth.
Jawbone Preservation: Jawbone resorption is prevented with All-on-4 and can keep jawbone density intact. This is associated with an implant-supported restoration as it stimulates bone with implant posts.
 

Who Can Go for the Treatment?

All-on-4 can apply to people with great loss of teeth and to people who are left with no teeth at all. Ideal candidates for the procedure must have good bone density to enable the implants to be held successfully. Because of the manner in which the implants are placed, this does not always need to be essential.

Procedure and Aftercare:

Consultation: If you will be considered for All-on-4 implants, the process begins by having detailed consultation and examination administered by a dentist.
Surgical: The procedure is conducted under local and sedation anesthesia or can also be done under general anesthesia according to patient and procedural convenience, respectively. It is generally done within a few hours.

After the surgery, you might experience some swelling and discomfort, which can be controlled with some prescribed medications. A follow-up appointment will then be scheduled to check on healing and refine the prosthetic teeth if needed.

Advantages Over Traditional Implants:

Less Bone Grafting: Because of the angled placement, quite often bone grafting is not necessary in cases that would call for this additional step with traditional implants.
Shorter Treatment Time: In most cases, the All-on-4 technique gets completed in much less time than the conventional implant procedures.

Conclusion:

Clearly, the use of All-on-4 dental implants is a very effective and efficient means of replacing an entire tooth arch. The benefits that include immediate results, cost, and speedy recovery make it the most practical and realistic option for people desiring to get their smile and chewing capability re-established.
