All-on-4 Implant Technique
The All-on-4 implant technique is a treatment method that allows a fixed dental prosthesis to be supported by four dental implants placed into the jawbone at specific angles in patients who are completely edentulous or at risk of losing all their teeth. Thanks to this technique, fully edentulous patients can receive fixed teeth on the same day.
All-on-4 implant treatment can be used to eliminate the need for advanced surgical procedures such as sinus lifting, bone grafting, or treatments required due to insufficient bone volume. Because it provides fast and effective results, the All-on-4 technique is widely preferred in the treatment of fully edentulous patients.
By restoring chewing function and speech ability, the All-on-4 implant technique also helps patients achieve an aesthetic smile, significantly improving self-confidence.
How Is the All-on-4 Implant Technique Performed?
In fully edentulous patients, four implants are placed into the jawbone.
- Two implants are positioned in the front region of the jaw
- Two implants are placed in the posterior region, angled up to 45 degrees
What distinguishes this technique from conventional implant methods is the angulation and positioning of the implants.
Temporary prosthetic teeth can be placed immediately on the four implants, allowing patients to use their new teeth on the same day. After an average healing period of three months, once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, the temporary prosthesis is replaced with a permanent prosthesis.
What Are the Advantages of the All-on-4 Implant Technique?
- A very fast treatment option, allowing completely toothless patients to receive teeth on the same day
- One of the most cost-effective implant treatments for restoring a full set of teeth
- Helps overcome issues related to bone insufficiency
- Implants placed at specific angles utilize stronger bone support, protecting the patient’s anatomical structure
Is All-on-4 Implant Treatment Painful?
The All-on-4 implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia, making the likelihood of pain or discomfort during the treatment very low.
