What is All On Four Dental Implant?

All On Four dental implant is a procedure that allows the fixation of dental prosthesis on four implants placed at certain angles in completely edentulous patients on the same day.The All on four provides a surgical treatment option for replacing a full set of teeth in the upper or lower (or both) jaw with just four dental titanium implants  placed precisely at strategic positions and at certain angle. This will serves as a solid foundation to support a fixed full bridge (anchored by four implants to the jaw) that is natural looking, stable, durable and stays permanently fixed in place providing the functionality and bite quality that you would expect from natural teeth. If they do not have sufficient bone structure, sinus lifting surgery or graft addition procedures are performed in Golden Smile polyclinics.

What are the stages of All On Four treatment?

Patients who are planned to have All On Four dental implant treatment must first undergo a detailed clinical and radiological examination at any branch of Golden Smile polyclinics. Measurements are made on computerized tomography (CT) and a plan suitable for the patient is made.
All On Four procedure consists of three stages:

Step1: Consultation

When we recieve your Xray and teeth pictures over whatsapp then first consultation will start. Our dedicated dentists who have more then 25 years experience on surgery on cosmetic dentistry will look into your files and you will be asked some additional questions in order to understand what exactly you needed. X ray is very important to see your bone and make desicion on All on 4 process or we may go with normal dental implant process.

Step2: Implant Placement

All on 4 procedure is composed of two parts as surgery and dental prothesis process. All on 4 process is a procedure that can be easily applied under local anesthesia. But it can be realized with sedation or under general anesthesia for patients with anxiety and high level of fear.

Step3: Recovery

After your dental implants have been placed, the final step is to allow them to heal properly. Recovering from an implant surgery would not be painful if you take your antibiotic and painkillers which will be given by our experienced surgery and cosmetic dentists.
Soon after the surgery, you may experience gum bleeding. A small amount of bleeding is normal, it will decrease in 1-2 days. The surgical site may swell up to 2-3 days. The dentist would prescribe medication to manage the swelling. In some cases, the surgical site first turns black, then turns yellow and will heal after a while.

Healing periods usually takes between 2-5 months, called osseointegration, in which new bone formation occurs around the implants placed. Osseointegration happens when bone cells attach themselves directly to the implant’s surface. It plays a vital role in the success of dental implants. To allow this to happen, your dentist will place you on a temporary soft foods diet to avoid placing too much force on your newly placed implants. If too much force is exerted on your implants too soon, this can cause them to become loose or to heal incorrectly. Only after osseointegration has occurred is it possible for your dentist to start work on your permanent dentures.

The osseointegration timeline can look different for different individuals based on factors such as the type of procedure performed, the density of the jawbone, and the individual’s overall health. We have outlined a general osseointegration timeline below.

How Long Do All-on-4 Implants Last?

All-on-4 implants use the same technology as traditional implants. During treatment, titanium screws are placed in the jaw where they are intended to fuse with the patient’s natural tissues through a process called osseointegration. The only difference is that, with All-on-4 implants, only four implants are placed, and the two back implants are placed at an angle, to take maximum advantage of remaining bone tissues. If there is no enough bone or any extractions then should have either sinus lifting or bone graft adding. As long as All-on-4 implants fuse with the patient’s bone during the healing process, they should have a lifespan that is similar to traditional dental implants. Most dental professionals agree that patients can expect All-on-4 implants to last for 20 years or longer with the right care.
