What is the All On Four Implant?
All On Four is an innovative implant treatment for edentulous jaws. This technique is performed by placing a fixed prosthesis on only four dental implants for patients who have lost a full set of teeth. Compared to traditional implant treatment, fewer implants are used to provide a complete denture, which is advantageous in terms of both time and cost.
Who is All On Four Suitable for?
Toothless Patients
All On Four is the ideal solution for patients who have lost all their teeth for various reasons. This method offers excellent results in cases where tooth loss has a negative impact on quality of life.
People with Insufficient Bone Density:
All On Four is also suitable for patients with reduced bone density, because the implants are placed in the most stable areas of the jawbone.
Those who want to get fast results
Offering a faster healing process compared to other implant treatment methods, All On Four makes it possible to get new teeth on the same day.
All On Four Treatment Process
The All On Four treatment process consists of several stages and can usually be completed in a single day. This process is customized to the patient’s needs and requires careful planning.
Initial Examination and Counseling
The treatment process begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation session with your dentist. At this stage, the condition of your jawbone is assessed and the areas where the implants will be placed are determined with digital imaging techniques. Your dentist will tell you whether All On Four treatment is suitable for you and provide detailed information about the treatment process.
Treatment Plan and Preparation
After the initial examination, your dentist will create a customized treatment plan for you. This plan includes the placement of the implants, the type of prosthesis to be used and the duration of treatment. In the preparatory phase, the treatment plan is detailed, taking into account the condition of your jawbone and the health of your gums.
Placement of Implants
The most important stage of the All On Four treatment is the placement of the implants in the jawbone. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and requires surgical intervention. Two implants are placed in the front part of the jaw and the other two implants are placed at an angle in the back. This placement increases the stability of the implants and ensures that the prosthesis holds more firmly.
Temporary Prosthesis Placement
Immediately after the implants are placed, the patient is fitted with a temporary prosthesis. This prosthesis allows the patient to eat and speak normally while the implants heal. The temporary prosthesis is replaced with a permanent prosthesis when treatment is complete.
Healing Process and Permanent Prosthesis
A healing process, usually lasting several months, is required for the implants to fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration). Once this process is complete, the temporary prosthesis is replaced with a permanent prosthesis. Permanent dentures are aesthetically and functionally very similar to natural teeth and are long-lasting.
