All-on-4 Implant Technique: Permanent Solution for Full Tooth Loss
I know that total tooth loss is a condition that deeply affects not only chewing function but also self-confidence and social life. For years, I have been hearing this sentence from my patients: "Doctor, I am tired of wearing removable dentures (palate). I want fixed teeth now, but my bone has receded." This is exactly where the All-on-4 technique comes into play as a miraculous solution.
What is All-on-4?
All-on-4, as the name suggests, is the process of placing only 4 implants in a completely edentulous jaw and fixing a full jaw dental prosthesis on them on the same day. This technique is revolutionary especially for patients who have bone loss in the posterior regions and do not want to have bone addition (sinus lifting, etc.).
Why Should You Choose All-on-4?
- Fixed Teeth on the Same Day: This is the biggest advantage. On the day your implants are placed, we fit your temporary but fixed teeth. You don't leave our clinic toothless!
- No Need for Bone Addition: Since the posterior implants are placed at a certain angle, the existing bone is utilized to the maximum level. This reduces additional surgical procedures and costs.
- Easy to Clean: Unlike removable dentures, its cleaning is very close to natural teeth.
- Aesthetics and Comfort: It does not create bulkiness in the mouth like palate dentures and does not cover the palate. Your sense of taste is not affected.
How Does the Treatment Process Work?
The All-on-4 process at Master Smile Studio begins with meticulous planning:
- Digital Planning: Your bone structure is examined with 3D tomography and the places where the implants will be placed are determined with millimetric precision.
- Operation Day: Implants are placed under local anesthesia or sedation.
- Fitting Temporary Teeth: A few hours after the operation, your specially prepared temporary fixed teeth are screwed onto the implants.
- Permanent Prosthesis: After waiting for about 3-4 months (bone healing process), your actual permanent and aesthetic teeth are prepared.
You no longer need to cover your mouth while laughing or choose your food. With All-on-4, you can enjoy life again. Contact us for detailed information and an appointment.
