Understanding All-on-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4 Dental Implants Can Be Done In 24 Hours

What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 Dental Implants are an innovative dental solution designed for patients who need a full set of upper or lower teeth replaced. This treatment provides a stable, long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures, using just four strategically placed dental implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth.

The term “All-on-4” refers to the technique of using four implants to secure the prosthesis, which can be placed on either the upper or lower jaw.

How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?

The All-on-4 procedure involves the following steps:

Consultation and Assessment: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at Payneham Road Dental & Specialist Centre, where our skilled dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if All-on-4 implants are the right solution for you.

Treatment Planning: Using advanced imaging and diagnostic tools, we create a detailed treatment plan, including the precise placement of the implants to ensure optimal support and stability.

Implant Placement: During the procedure, four titanium implants are strategically placed into the jawbone. The two posterior implants are typically angled to maximize contact with the bone, providing enhanced support and stability.

Immediate Loading: In many cases, a temporary set of teeth can be attached to the implants on the same day as the surgery, allowing you to leave the clinic with a functional set of teeth.

Healing and Integration: Over the next few months, the implants will fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, forming a strong foundation for the permanent prosthesis.

Final Prosthesis: Once the implants have fully integrated, a custom-made, durable prosthesis is attached to the implants, restoring your smile and improving your oral function.

Benefits of All-on-4 Implants

  • Stability and Comfort: Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 implants provide a secure, fixed solution that won’t slip or move, offering greater comfort and confidence.
  • Immediate Results: Many patients can receive a functional set of teeth on the same day as the implant surgery.
  • Bone Preservation: The implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.
  • Improved Function: All-on-4 implants restore your ability to chew and speak effectively, enhancing your overall quality of life.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The prosthetic teeth are custom-designed to look natural, giving you a beautiful, confident smile.

frequently asked All-on-4 Mouth Implants questions

Below our the questions and answers we get asked the most about All-on-4 Mouth Implants in our Adelaide dental clinic.

All-on-4 mouth implants are a dental restoration solution designed to replace a full arch of teeth using only four dental implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and can slip or cause discomfort, All-on-4 implants are permanently anchored to the jawbone, providing a stable and secure fit. This approach offers improved comfort, better chewing function, and a more natural appearance compared to traditional dentures.

The All-on-4 implant procedure involves several steps:

  • Consultation and Planning: An initial consultation at Payneham Road Dental & Specialist Centre includes a comprehensive examination and diagnostic imaging to create a detailed treatment plan.
  • Implant Placement: Four titanium implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. Two implants are typically positioned at an angle to maximize bone contact.
  • Temporary Teeth: In many cases, a temporary set of teeth is attached to the implants on the same day, allowing immediate functionality.
  • Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
  • Final Prosthesis: Once healing is complete, a custom-made permanent prosthesis is attached to the implants, restoring your smile and oral function.

All-on-4 implants are suitable for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth and are looking for a stable, permanent alternative to dentures. Ideal candidates should have sufficient bone density to support the implants, although bone grafting can sometimes be performed for those with inadequate bone structure. Patients should also be in good general health and free from conditions that could impair healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or active periodontal disease.

All-on-4 implants offer numerous benefits, including:

  • Stability and Comfort: The implants provide a secure foundation for the prosthetic teeth, eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience of traditional dentures.
  • Immediate Results: Many patients can receive a temporary set of teeth on the same day as the implant surgery.
  • Bone Preservation: The implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
  • Improved Function: All-on-4 implants restore the ability to chew and speak with confidence and ease.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The prosthetic teeth are custom-designed to look natural and enhance your smile.
