All-on-4

All-on-4 Dental Implant

All-on-4 is a dental implant concept that uses fewer implants in the upper or lower jaw than traditional methods. This procedure can also avoid the need for bone grafting procedures. On average, with traditional implants, the upper jaw would require between 6 to 8 implants, while the all-on-4 requires only 4 implants.

With the all-on-4 technique, the posterior implants are inserted at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees rather than vertically. With this new method, patients who suffer from bone loss may sometimes be eligible for the procedure without the need for a bone graft.

Who Can Have All-on-4?

The ideal candidates for an All-on-4 are patients who have lost all of their upper or lower teeth or patients who want to replace their damaged teeth.

All-on-4 Treatment Duration

All-on-4 treatment takes 2.5 hours.

All-on-4 Side Effects

• Anesthesia risks

• Implant Failure

• Pain

• Bleeding

• Infection 

All-on-4 Dental Implant Recovery Time

Most people can go back to work in 24 hours after having all-on-4 treatment.

All-on-4 Success Rate 

All-on-4 has a success rate of 95%.

Alternative Treatments

• Dental Implants

• Dental Crowns

• Dentures

How Does It Work?

To understand what all-on-4 implantation is, you should first know what an implant is. A dental implant is a small screw, usually made of titanium, inserted into the bone of your jaw in the space left by a missing tooth. Once the implant is placed in your mouth, your dentist attaches a dental crown to the screw. This replaces a lost tooth.

Now multiply this technique by four and you get All-On-4 implantation except that instead of using one implant for each missing tooth, you can just use four implants at the top and four at the bottom as the main anchors. Then your dentist can attach a prosthesis for the full jaw to these 4 implants.

The All-on-4 technique, therefore, makes it possible to replace all the teeth of a jaw with 4 implants instead of placing an implant for each tooth, which represents a great saving.

What Does All-On-4 Treatment Involve?

1.    Consultation for All-on-4 Treatment

The first step to start your all-on-4 process will be the online consultation phase. At this step, our specialist will try to learn your medical story and complaints to make sure you are a suitable candidate for this treatment.

Your allergies, the medications you use, your ideas about the process, and your priority expectations from treatment are the most important data to determine the most appropriate treatment for you.

The photo of your tooth/teeth that you have problems with will be very useful to understand your eligibility during the online consultation phase.

2.    Planning Your Trip and Choosing the Clinic

At this stage, we will provide you with a list of clinics and dentists for your all-on-4 treatment by considering your preferences. Once you evaluate the options and choose one of them, we will immediately arrange the dates and build your trip plan by aiming to start the treatment process as soon as possible.

3.    Final Consultation with Your Dentist

When you arrive at the dentist's office, you will have a face-to-face consultation with your dentist. He or she will ask you some questions to try to understand your expectations better and also make you understand what you should expect from your all-on-4 treatment.

Your dentist will explain everything you need to know about the process with its possible risks and complications and try to simulate the results as much as possible, for you to feel ready and comfortable.

4.    Medical Examinations

Before the All-on-4 process begins, your dentist will conduct medical tests to make sure that you are in acceptable health status for the treatment. If any risk is obtained, dentists try to eliminate them first. Your dentist will also assess hard jaw tissue using medical imaging, such as cone beam volume tomography (CBCT).

5.    Implantation

After anesthesia or sedation is applied, the dentist will prepare your mouth for the implants, which involves cleaning the mouth and removing the remaining teeth that are failing. He will then remove any sick or infected tissue from your jaw and gums.

Then the implantation process begins. This means that your dentist will insert the titanium screws into your jaw. Most likely, the dentist will place two implants in the front of your mouth and two more in the back of your mouth so that the "anchors" can distribute the force exerted on the prosthesis when you eat.

Once the implants have been placed, the dentist carefully cleans the surgical sites and sutures all the incisions if necessary. You will then be taken to a recovery room where you can relax and take the time to wake up from anesthesia.

What Are the Advantages of An All-On-4 Technique?

The major advantage of the All-On-4 is the possibility of having a fixed prosthesis and chewing the same day of the procedure. By comparison, a conventional technique requires a minimum of 3 months before the fixed prosthesis.

Here are some additional benefits of an All-on-4 technique:

• No bone graft required

• Durable teeth

• Easy maintenance

• Shorter treatment and recovery time

• Long-term stable results

• Increased self-confidence and improved quality of life

• The very high success rate

• Lower cost

Things You Should Consider After All-On-4 Treatment

• Following an All-On-4 procedure, swelling of the face occurs frequently and you may notice bruising on the skin. This is completely normal. Apply an ice pack to the area at 30-minute intervals for 48 hours, which will reduce swelling to a minimum. The swelling will decrease significantly 24 to 48 hours after surgery but may last up to 7 to 10 days.

• Consume light foods during the first two days, for example; yogurt, soup, dairy drinks, etc. Do not eat hot food and do not drink beverages through a straw for the first 48 hours to avoid bleeding.

• A soft diet should be observed for the first 6 weeks to ensure proper healing of the implants.

• If the implants were made in the upper jaw, avoid blowing your nose for 3 days and use a spray of saline water to thin your secretions if necessary.

• Try to rest on the day of your surgery keeping your head elevated.

• Avoid smoking for two months after the procedure.

• It is normal to bleed a bit during the first 24 to 48 hours. If the bleeding is heavy, use squares of small compresses by folding and applying firm pressure to the bleeding area by biting on them for 20 minutes. Do not spit for the first 72 hours after your surgery as this promotes bleeding.

• You can brush your teeth gently the day after surgery.

•  It is very important to pay attention to oral hygiene. Beginning the next day, a mouthwash of salt water (1 teaspoon of salt in 1 glass of warm water) should be used after meals and at bedtime.

• You will be given an appointment with your surgeon to check the healing of your wound.

Quick Facts

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is All-On-4 Procedure Painful?

After the all-on-4 treatment, the pain is almost non-existent, but if it is felt, it can be relieved with standard pain medication.

How Durable Is All-On-4 Technique?

All-on-4 implants can last a lifetime with regular checks by a dentist and personal care for oral hygiene.

What Is the Difference Between the All-On-4 Technique and Dentures?

Conventional dentures are custom-made for each patient's jaws and fit the gums. They stay in place by suction with the palate or sometimes require the help of a dental adhesive.

However, over time, the supporting bone will resorb, and the prosthesis will become less stable. The prosthesis should be replaced regularly to avoid discomfort.

The all-on-4 technique involves the placement of four dental implants. Through the chewing process, the jaw bone is stimulated and thus the bone loss seen with permanent dentures is reduced.

Since this is a fixed prosthesis technique, there is no risk of the teeth moving around while eating or talking. Besides, the all-on-4 concept gives a more natural appearance and the possibility of eating more solid foods.

  Recientemente, mi salud oral había estado afectando al resto de mi cuerpo. Ya tenía una anatomía dental débil y mi garganta se infectaba muy seguido. Necesitaba un procedimiento completo y tuve mi all-on-4 en Dentavivo. Es una clínica muy limpia, y los médicos claramente intentan ayudarte con lo que realmente necesitas. La comunicación fué muy abierta y amigable, y no me sentí ansioso antes de empezar el tratamiento porque ellos se encargaron de todo. Si alguna vez necesito consejo o acción sobre este asunto nuevamente, este será el primer lugar al que llamaré sin dudarlo.

  I had a wonderful experience booking my dental work with Flymedi. I needed a fair amount of work done and was required to visit twice but luckily the clinic was so hygienic and professional that it was a no-brainer to return. The dentist was great, he explained the procedure very clearly and I knew exactly what was going to happen in each session. The procedure itself was totally painless which was a first for me having had bad experiences with dentists in the past so that was really encouraging. I would highly recommend Flymedi's services as they exceeded my expectations (:

  I’d been having problems with my teeth for a while and they were really starting to cause me dramas and I just needed them out. I got me teeth removed in the UK and then went over to Turkey to start with the new ones. Had to come twice to get the whole thing done but it was well worth it and I’m very pleased with me new teeth.

  A very positive outcome, following my decision to pursue in having dental cosmetic surgery/treatment carried out in Turkey. Excellent advisory skills by Flymedi rep Abud. He was professional, well informed, and followed me up with total attention throughout the whole process. Last but not least, I thank Dr Ahmed Kumsan and his team at Infinity Smiles Dental Clinic for their commitment and professionalism. Highly recommended.

  I was considering several different options, however Abud was by far the most committed and helpful of all the agents I'd been in discussions with. Everything was organised for me and I was guided throughout and if I was feeling apprehensive about anything or had any questions Abud was always on hand to answer my questions and give reassurances. I'm so happy with the results of my operation and I was left overwhelmed by how friendly and supportive everyone was throughout. If you're considering using flymedi then I can honestly say you'll be delighted with the service both before during and after your surgery.
