Losing teeth is a common predicament for adults over 60 years old. For others of a younger age, tooth loss may be due to accident or injury. Dentures are the most obvious solution, but traditional dentures are not always stable and can be problematic. All on 4 implants are a fixed, long-term and aesthetically pleasing solution for your dental replacement problems. Within a day you can have a complete and functional smile, without the need for any bone-grafting.
The procedure
4 implants are fitted in the jaw, providing the stable base for a denture or bridge. The implants at the posterior of the mouth are placed at an angle of 45 degrees to allow for maximum support. Patients with low bone levels on their jaw are required to go through a long and tiring process of bone grafting. However, with All on 4 you can achieve the beautiful, functional smile you desire without the need for bone grafting. Once the implants are placed, the dental implants dentist can fix a dental prosthesis to your jaw for a complete and stable smile.
Benefits
The overall time taken, from your first sitting with the dentist to complete recovery after surgery, takes a matter of days. The dentist will fix the temporary prosthesis within 2 to 3 sittings and the remaining days will be needed to fully recover from the surgery. The temporary prosthesis has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years, but you can opt for a permanent prosthesis 6 months after treatment, which can last a lifetime.
Traditional dental implant techniques can take anywhere between one year to eighteen months and are unsuitable for patients with low bone density, whereas All on 4 can provide results in a day and does not require any invasive bone grafting procedures.
Post surgery care
Some precautionary steps must be taken after surgery in order to avoid infection and reduce pain. Cold and soft food should be eaten for the first 2 days and ice packs can be applied to the affected area in order to reduce swelling. Just one day is required for recovery after the process, but a few more days is required to completely recover.
You may think that we’re exaggerating when we say that we can transform your smile in just one day, but with All-on-4, we really can change the look of your smile overnight. All-on-4 is a modern, innovative implant treatment, which provides an amazing solution for those who wish to replace missing teeth with instant results. Traditionally, dental implants treatment takes up to 8 months, but with All-on-4, the results are there to see and enjoy after just one day. All-on-4 uses a total of four dental implants to support a full arch of new teeth; two of the implants are placed at the back of the jaw and 2 are located at the front; the position of the implants is designed to take advantage of the strongest bone tissue. Normally, all dental implants are placed at 90 degree angles, but the two back implants are placed at 45 degree angles with All-on-4; this helps to maximise anchorage. All-on-4 treatment involves placing the implants and attaching the new teeth in the same day; it offers an effective solution for those with a large number of missing teeth and people who have experienced problems with traditional dentures in the past. All-on-4 not only provides immediate results, which give you a beaming, beautiful and healthy-looking smile; it also gives you the ability to speak clearly and eat with confidence and peace of mind that the teeth will never slip or slide, as they are supported by implants. Implants are small prostheses, which are inserted into the jaw bone to act as replacement tooth roots; they last for many years and they provide the same level of support for the teeth as natural roots. In order to check that clients are suitable candidates for All-on-4 treatment, we perform some tests during the consultation stage; our dentists also explain how treatment works and what exactly it involves so that you are able to make a well-informed decision when it comes to choosing which tooth replacement treatment to go for.

Have you heard of All-on-4 dental implant treatment? If not, this could be just the news you’ve been waiting for. All-on-4 is an innovative same-day implant treatment, which uses a set of four implants to secure and stabilise a full arch of new teeth. Dental implants are prostheses, which are designed to replace the missing tooth root; they are implanted into the jaw bone and they integrate into the tissue, which enables them to provide the same level of anchorage as a natural tooth root. Once this process is complete, a new restoration is connected to the head of the implant and this replaces the crown section. In the case of All-on-4 implants, four implants are placed in the jaw bone and the new teeth are then connected on the same day. Two of the implants sit at the back of the mouth at 45 degree angles and two are located at the front of the jaw; these implants are placed at 90 degree angles, as with normal implants. Traditionally, it takes between 6 and 10 implants to support a full arch of new teeth, but the position and angle of the All-on-4 implants takes full advantage of the strongest bone tissue at the front of the mouth and this reduces the quantity of implants required. The standard treatment time for dental implants is between 3 and 9 months, but this option is much faster, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of treatment in just one day. All-on-4 offers patients with missing teeth a veritable array of benefits, including rapid results, enhanced aesthetics, increased confidence and complete peace of mind, which enables you to eat and speak with ease and no anxiety at all. With implants in place to support the denture, there is no risk of irritation caused by slipping and you can enjoy a much more powerful bite, which makes it possible to enjoy a wide range of foods. If you’ve had trouble with dentures in the past or you’re looking for a highly effective solution for tooth loss, All-on-4 could be the answer; call today to book an appointment and see if this is a suitable option for you.
If you lose a tooth or you’ve had missing teeth for a long time, you may be thinking that there’s no quick fix available and you’ll have to wait for months on end to enjoy a new smile; however, this is no longer the case. With All-on-4, we are able to replace the teeth and restore the smile in just a single day! If you’ve had problems with dentures in the past or you’re looking for a long-term solution to tooth loss, All-on-4 could be just the treatment you’ve been waiting for. With this innovative implant system, patients can have their smile transformed in a single treatment session, making this a much quicker alternative to more traditional methods. All-on-4 is able to work rapidly because it employs four implants only and positions them at different angles to make use of the dense bone tissue located at the front of the jaw. Two implants are located at the back of the mouth at 45 degree angles, with the other 2 at the front, positioned at 90 degree angles. Once the dental implants are in place, the new teeth can be attached immediately. With traditional implant treatment, it usually takes several months for the implants to integrate into the bone tissue before the new teeth are placed, but this treatment is a much quicker alternative. All-on-4 is an excellent option for patients who are looking for a tooth replacement treatment for entire arches of lost teeth for the first time or for those who have experienced difficulties with dentures in the past. Dentures are effective, but they can slip and slide, they may cause irritation and sore spots and they can take some looking after and maintenance. With All-on-4 you don’t have to worry about these issues at all and you can enjoy eating and speaking without any anxiety of a denture slipping, showcase a natural looking smile and have peace of mind that your teeth are stable and secure.
