All-on-Four implants, or All-on-Four implant treatment, is an innovative dental implant method developed for patients who have lost all of their teeth or experienced significant tooth loss. With this method, a full fixed prosthesis is supported on just four implants.
How Is All-on-Four Implant Treatment Applied?
This technique involves strategically placing four implants in the upper or lower jaw. By angling and positioning the implants in areas of higher bone density, a strong foundation is created for the fixed prosthesis.
Who Is All-on-Four Implant Treatment Suitable For?
All-on-Four treatment is especially recommended for:
- Patients who have lost all or most of their teeth
- Cases where bone resorption makes standard implant placement difficult
- Patients seeking a fast and aesthetic solution
Advantages of All-on-Four Implant Treatment
- Rapid Results: Implants are usually placed in a single day, and a temporary fixed prosthesis is attached immediately.
- Maximum Outcome with Fewer Implants: Achieves full-arch restoration using fewer implants than traditional methods.
- Aesthetic and Functional: Provides a natural look and restores full chewing function.
- No Bone Graft Required: Can often be performed without grafting, even in areas of lower bone volume.
All-on-Four Treatment Process
- Initial evaluation and treatment planning
- Surgical placement of the four implants
- Attachment of temporary fixed prostheses to the implants
- After the healing period, placement of the permanent prosthesis
Caring for All-on-Four Implants
Care needs are similar to natural teeth:
- Brush and floss regularly
- Attend routine dental check-ups
- Avoid harmful habits like smoking
Long-Term Success of All-on-Four Implants
With proper maintenance and follow-up, All-on-Four implant can last for decades. Research shows they can function reliably for over 20 years when cared for correctly.
