What is All-on-4 Dental implants?
Whats are the All-On-4 Dental implants?
The All-on-4 dental implant solution is a special implant procedure that relies on at least four abutments, is designed to replace the entire lower teeth and is designed to be used when there is a complete tooth loss or all of the lower teeth need to be removed for some reason. The all-on-6 system is designed to replace the upper teeth. While other methods use six to eight dental implants, All-on-4 dental implants use a special technique to angle the implants to retain all of the new lower teeth.
The All-on-4 dental implant system is a type of dental implant procedure that is used to replace a full set of upper or lower teeth. The procedure involves placing four dental implants into the jawbone, which are then used to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The All-on-4 system is designed to provide a secure and stable foundation for the replacement teeth, allowing patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. The procedure is typically less invasive and requires a shorter recovery time than traditional dental implant procedures, which can make it a good option for people who have lost all or most of their teeth.
Am I eligible for the All-on-4 treatment?
All-on-4 dental implants can restore your smile in a single procedure, replacing teeth in as little as a day for some patients. However, not all patients are suitable for immediate dental implant placement, so your specific situation and possible alternatives will be discussed during your consultation. Before deciding on treatment, an oral surgeon at our London clinic will perform a comprehensive examination and determine your condition.
Is All-on-4 a sustainable solution?
Traditional dental implants are designed to replace the roots of teeth so that a crown or bridge can be securely fixed. All-on-4 dental implants work the same way, but the proper placement of four dental implants allows you to:
- Restore the ability to chew and enjoy your food.
- Leave with new teeth the same day.
- Recover your natural smile.
- Treat your All-on-4 like your natural teeth.
- Unlike other types of dental implants, All-on-4 requires only one healing period instead of several different procedures required with traditional dental implants.
How long does it take to recover from the All on 4 treatment?
All-on-4 dental implants are designed to shorten the recovery time usually associated with dental implants, while retaining all the benefits. Full recovery from immediate dental implants takes a total of 4 months, but you will be able to eat normally within a week of the procedure. In the meantime, we recommend eating soft, nutritious foods.
