All-on-4

Goodbye dentures…..

If you are about to lose your teeth, are tired of dentures or have been told you are not a candidate for traditional implants; All-on-4 may be for you.  With the All-on-4 procedure you can receive implants and a full set of non-removable replacement teeth in 1 – 3 days.

All-on-4 is a cost effective, advanced technique whereby a whole arch of teeth is supported by only 4 implants. This revolutionary treatment concept  can be used in either the upper or lower jaw to support immediate fixed replacement teeth that look, feel and function very similar to natural teeth in 1 – 3 days.

Since less implants are used in comparison to other methods, it allows for simpler cleaning, while still delivering optimal results.

This procedure is common treatment in our clinic today for full arch rehabilitation for people who have lost all of their teeth, or are about to lose them, and is suitable for almost all lower cases and most upper cases.

Benefits of All-on-4 treatment

• Fully fixed functional teeth
• Improved appearance
• Fewer implants
• Look, feel and function like real teeth
• May eliminate the need for bone grafting
• Easily maintained
• New, fully fixed teeth in 1-3 days
• High success rates

Procedure

Preoperative Procedures

Examination

The first step is an oral examination to discuss treatment options and to determine the best solution that suits your individual needs.

Diagnostics

Radiographs and i-CAT®  scans are taken to determine final position of the implants. Pretreatment photographs and cast models are also prepaid.

Work-up

Diagnostic data is used to plan the optimal position of the final teeth for aesthetics, function and speech. A special surgical guide is also produced at this stage.

Your new smile in 3 days

Day 1: Implants

The jaw is prepared to receive the implants and are strategically placed according to the surgical guide. Impressions are taken of the implants.

Day 2: Try-in

Teeth are set in wax and are tried in your mouth within 24-48 hours following surgery. Adjustments of tooth position and colour can be made at this stage.

Day 3: New teeth

Your permanent new fully fixed replacement teeth are inserted on day 3 in most cases.
