All-on-4 Treatment
The All-on-4 treatment is an innovative method that allows the placement of fixed prosthetic teeth using only 4 implants in cases of complete tooth loss. This method is ideal for patients who do not have sufficient bone volume in the jaw or for whom traditional implant treatments are not feasible. At Smile Lounge, the All-on-4 treatment provides our patients with a fast and permanent solution to the problems caused by missing teeth.
The treatment process begins with a three-dimensional Volumetric Dental Tomography of the jaw, followed by a detailed analysis by an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Specialist. Typically, on the same day, 4 implants are placed based on your jaw condition, and temporary fixed prosthetic teeth can be installed. This method can be applied to both the upper and lower jaws, giving patients a natural-looking, aesthetic, and functional smile.
The All-on-4 technique takes advantage of the dense bone in the front part of the jaw and places the two posterior implants at an angle to avoid the sinus cavities in the upper jaw and the nerve canal in the lower jaw. All implant treatments performed at Smile Lounge use high-quality implants and prosthetic materials. After the treatment, patients can quickly return to their daily lives and enjoy a healthy oral structure for many years.
Frequently Asked Questions
The All-on-4 treatment is suitable for patients with complete tooth loss who have sufficient jawbone volume. A detailed pre-treatment analysis determines whether this method is appropriate for you.
The surgical phase of the All-on-4 treatment is usually completed in a single day. Fixed temporary prostheses can be placed immediately after the implants are inserted, allowing you to go through the healing process with functional teeth while the implants integrate with the bone. Once the 12-week period required for implant integration is completed, your temporary prostheses are replaced with permanent ones, completing the treatment process.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, All-on-4 implants and all dental treatments can last for a long time. Maintaining good oral hygiene and following your dentist’s recommendations ensure the longevity of the implants.
