What Are All on 4 Dental Implants / All on 6 Dental Implants?

All on 4 dental implants as the name indicates, uses a full set of teeth and replaces all teeth lost on an arch using only four dental implants. Because of this technology, dental restorations can be placed immediately and permanently as the implants serve as an anchor to hold a prosthesis in place.

Compared to other methods that might need implant placement for every single missing tooth and involved bone grafting with significant surgical intervention, all on four implants provide benefits of minimally invasive yet efficient clinical therapy. By optimally placing the implants toward the back, including an angling approach, available bone (even in cases of significant bone loss) is able to be utilized, thereby avoiding bone grafting.

• Individuals who are missing several or all of their teeth on either the top or bottom of either one of their jaws.

The Treatment Process: What to Expect

Step 1: Assessment and Digital Planning

Your treatment begins by our doctors completing a comprehensive examination, including a review of your dental history, a full oral examination, and advanced digital scans (such as CBCT imaging). This helps our doctors determine the status of your oral health, density of your jaws, and the optimal position of your all on four implants.

Step 2: Implant Placement

Once the procedure begins, any unhealthy or failing teeth will be gently extracted, and four individual titanium implants will be placed in each jaw. Two of the implants will be placed at the front of the jaw and a two at the back placed at an angle to avoid anatomical restrictions and achieve the greatest contact with the available bone.

Step 3: Immediate Temporary Teeth

Unlike other dental implant procedures that require months of healing, the All on 4 dental implant procedure allows for a fixed temporary prosthesis (a set of beautiful, natural-looking teeth) to be fitted and fixed the same day as your surgery. Because of this, the All on 4 dental implant procedure is often referred to as “Teeth in a Day” or “Same Day Implants”.

Step 4: Healing and Final Prosthesis

Over the course of several months, your implants integrate (bond) with the jawbone for maximum strength and durability a process called osseointegration. Once fully healed, your custom-designed permanent set of teeth, crafted for the ultimate fit and appearance, replaces the temporary bridge.
