What are All-On-4 dental implants?

All-On-4 dental implants are designed to restore both function and aesthetics, in a way that closely resembles natural teeth.

With an efficient and personalised approach, All-On-4 refers to a dental restoration technique where a full set of teeth (either upper, lower, or both arches) is supported by just four dental implants. Traditional dental implants typically require more implants per arch, making All-On-4 a convenient and more cost-effective alternative.

The process involves strategically placing four dental implants into the jawbone to act as anchors for a custom-designed bridge or denture. The implants are positioned to maximise available bone density, and provide optimal support for the replacement teeth. Once the implants are in place, the new teeth are then securely attached. Treatments are highly personalised to suit each patient’s individual needs in terms of both functionality and aesthetics.

The benefits of All-On-4

As an innovative, advanced and efficient treatment, All-On-4 offers many benefits to patients, making it a popular choice amongst both patients and professionals.

One of the reasons that All-On-4 dental implants have become popular is their ability to efficiently restore full dental functionality. Unlike traditional dentures, which may slip or require adhesives for stability, these implants offer a secure and permanent solution. After the treatment, patients should be able to confidently eat, speak, and smile without worrying about their prosthetic slipping out of place or their restoration appearing unnatural.

Another benefit of the treatment is the aesthetic appeal. The prosthetic teeth are designed to look like natural teeth, custom-made in the right shapes, sizes, and colours for each patient. The personalised nature of the treatment ensures a seamless blend with the patient’s remaining natural teeth.

Compared to traditional implant techniques, All-On-4 offers a less invasive treatment option. Since only four implants are required per arch, the procedure typically involves less surgical intervention and a shorter recovery period. This can be highly beneficial to many patients who want to undergo a dental restoration without extensive downtime.

While dental implants are renowned for their longevity and durability, they can be a significant investment. Providing a cost-effective alternative, All-On-4 dental implants require fewer implants, reducing overall costs.

All-On-4 dental implants not only replace missing teeth, but also help to preserve the jawbone. By stimulating the surrounding bone tissue through the implant’s integration with the jawbone, the treatment prevents bone loss and deterioration, maintaining facial structure.

The treatment time of All-On-4 can also be less than with traditional implants, as the procedure efficiently uses just four implants to achieve a full restoration. A more efficient treatment has a variety of benefits for each patient, being more appealing than other dental implant methods.

Who is a suitable candidate for All-On-4 dental implants?

While All-On-4 dental implants offer a wide variety of benefits, not everyone is a suitable candidate. During a consultation at Oasis Dental, one of our team members will assess your suitability and determine the right treatment approach to suit your needs.

Generally, candidates for All-On-4 must have adequate bone density in the jaw to support the implants securely. However, even patients with some degree of bone loss may still be eligible for the treatment, but may require bone grafting. You will be able to discuss the details of bone grafting during your consultation if you require the additional procedure to be considered a suitable candidate.

Candidates should have overall good oral health, free from gum disease or untreated dental issues. Any existing dental issues must be addressed before undergoing the treatment, to ensure its long-term success and support optimal results.
Maintaining proper oral hygiene is essential when it comes to the longevity of the implants. Candidates will ideally be willing to follow a good oral hygiene regimen, including regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups.

Overall general health will also need to be considered when determining a candidate’s suitability for All-On-4. Ideally, candidates will need to be free from conditions that may compromise the healing process or increase the risk of surgical complications. Factors such as smoking, diabetes, and other medical conditions may affect your suitability for the treatment.

Before undergoing any kind of dental treatment, it’s essential to have realistic expectations for the results. While the treatment offers significant improvements in functionality and aesthetics, it can still have limitations, based on individual circumstances. Your consultation will help to set your expectations for the results of your treatment.
