All-On-Four Implants

The All-on-Four dental treatment offers several advantages, including improved speech, better chewing ability, and enhanced comfort. Furthermore,

  Improved Appearance

• 
  Reduced Treatment Time
  With All-on-4 dental implants, the entire procedure can often be completed in a single day, allowing you to leave the clinic with a fully functional set of teeth.

PROCESS

All-on-4 Dental Implant Steps

• 
  Step 1: Initial Consultation & 3D Imaging
  During the initial consultation, the doctor will determine whether the All-on-4 dental implant procedure is suitable for you. This includes a thorough clinical examination, a panoramic X-ray, and advanced digital planning. Using cutting-edge technology, the treatment will be planned collaboratively with you to ensure optimal results. The dentist will also review your medical history and address any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure.
• 
  Step 2: Implant Placement
  Four implants are surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. General anesthesia may be used for patients with dental phobia. Bone grafting and sinus lifting may be necessary for patients with insufficient bone volume or density; however, these procedures are usually not required for those with healthy bone structure and a suitable oral condition. In some cases, tooth extraction may be needed before implant placement.
• 
  Step 3: Temporary Teeth - Recovery
  A custom temporary prosthesis is typically attached on the same day or the following day after implant placement. Following the dental implant surgery, some patients may experience mild discomfort or pain. Don’t worry—your dentist will prescribe appropriate medication to manage it.
• 
  Step 4: Final Prosthesis
  After a healing period of approximately 3 to 4 months, the final stage of treatment begins. At this stage, your dentist will take precise digital impressions using a 3D scanner to create your custom-made permanent prosthetic teeth. These prosthetics are meticulously crafted to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, ensuring both a functional bite and a beautifully natural-looking smile.

Sedation dentistry is a safe and effective technique that uses medication to help patients feel calm and comfortable during dental procedures. It is especially beneficial for individuals with dental anxiety, difficulty achieving numbness, heightened sensitivity, or a strong gag reflex. Various sedation options are available depending on the patient’s needs and the complexity of the procedure, including oral sedation, nitrous oxide, intravenous sedation, and general anesthesia.

Oral sedation is taken as a pill before the appointment, nitrous oxide is inhaled through a mask, IV sedation is given through a vein for deeper relaxation, and general anesthesia puts the patient into a sleep-like state during the procedure.

It’s important to remember that sedation dentistry should only be carried out by a licensed and experienced professional. Always consult your dentist to determine which sedation method is safest and best suited to your individual needs.

The difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implant procedures is the number of implants placed in the upper and lower jawbones. All-on-4 involves four implants, while All-on-6 involves six implants. Depending on the patient’s specific situation and preferences, either option can be selected

Dentures were the sole option in the past. However, with advancing technology, dentists may suggest fixed options like All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants. Additionally, getting affordable new teeth is possible with these implants.
