What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are an implant treatment designed for patients who need a full-arch replacement. This treatment plan is a quicker way to replace multiple teeth rather than an individual implant for each tooth.
The four implants typically consist of titanium posts that are placed into areas of the jaw where there is sufficient bone contact and maximum stability.
A provisional bridge can then be attached, allowing some patients to leave the practice with temporary teeth on the same day.
Who Can Benefit From All-on-4?
All-on-4 dental implants offer a great option for dental patients who are in need of a quick but top-quality solution to missing teeth.
This treatment may be suitable for you if you have:
- Multiple missing teeth
- An entire arch of missing teeth
- Failing or severely damaged natural teeth
- Ill-fitting or old dentures
- Bone loss or bone shrinkage
- Difficulty chewing with removable dentures
It may also be worth considering the treatment if your time is a little more limited. However, our dentist will need to assess your teeth, gums, jawbone and overall dental health before determining whether full arch implant rehabilitation is appropriate.
How Does All-on-4 Treatment Work?
At Staines Centre of Dental Excellence, our All-on-4 dental implants Sunbury treatment plan generally takes place across several stages.
Consultation and Treatment Planning
As with all our treatments, our dental team will need to assess your oral health, facial features, existing teeth and available bone. Imaging may be used to determine the best locations for the four implants.
Implant Placement
Four strategically placed implants are inserted into the jawbone. Local anaesthetic is used during the procedure to help keep you comfortable. For the implant placement to be done efficiently, the precise position of each implant is carefully planned to provide stability and support for the full arch.
Temporary Teeth
In suitable cases, a temporary bridge is fitted on the same day as your implants, meaning you can leave with a complete-looking smile that gives you confidence. These can stay in during the healing period.
Healing period
During the healing period, the implants fuse with the jawbone. Do expect this period to take a while, but the exact length of time can vary from patient to patient.
It is vital that all patients follow the aftercare advice and plan to the word, as it’s not worth taking chances with such treatments.
Final Teeth
Once your teeth have fused with your jawbone, and you’re ready for your final teeth, it is simply a case of replacing the temporary ones with your final teeth.
The final restoration is designed to provide a natural-looking smile while restoring chewing function.
Can You Have All-on-4 With Bone Loss?
Although not ideal, All-on-4 dental implants can still be an option for patients with bone loss.
One of the potential advantages of the All-on-4 approach is that four strategically placed implants can make use of areas of the jaw with better available bone.
Having said that, it will only be clear once your teeth, gums and bone structure have been assessed by our dentist.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
The complete timeline for the treatment can vary greatly between patients because of the healing period and the desired results.
In general, implant integration can take a few months, but the exact length of time can be explained during your consultation.
Is All-on-4 Dental Implant Surgery Safe?
All dental procedures carry risks, and implant surgery is no different. However, when performed by an experienced dental surgeon.
Potential complications can include:
- Infection
- Discomfort
- Implant failure
It is worth noting that such complications or issues tend to be higher in patients with existing gum disease, smoking, bone loss and certain health factors.
Proper care and regular dental appointments are important for maintaining your new teeth.
