Implemented by skilled and talented dentists, especially prosthodontists, this procedure is perfect for patients with numerous missing teeth or decay. All-on-4 candidates should possess the requisite bone density into which the dental implants would be placed along with general good health. Individuals opt for this process because it helps enhance beauty depending on the shape and position of the teeth and improves oral operations. In this process, a pair of straight anterior implants and a pair of tilted posterior implants are installed, and then a full arch rehabilitation prosthesis is connected.

Who is suitable for All-on-4 dental implants?

All-on-4 teeth are particularly suitable for a patient who has experienced considerable tooth loss or in other words edentulous. Many have their remaining teeth in a very bad state which makes it hard for conventional dentures to provide support and comfort. Most of these patients do not like having removable appliances because they feel uncomfortable and are not fixed in place. From a scientific perspective, ideality involves having enough bone mass in the lower jaw into which these implants are placed and not suffering from chronic diseases like diabetes or being heavy smokers. They usually require a long-lasting and satisfactory solution that can help them eat, speak, and smile again fully. Other expectations include better functionality in terms of speaking, eating, and aesthetics besides having a dental solution that will be permanent. Read more

How do I prepare for All-on-4? Complete guide!

As a dentist, I strongly advise taking the following steps to ensure the success of your All-on-4 procedure and to reduce the risk of complications:

• Seek a consultation with a proper dental implant surgeon for the first evaluation.
• Check whether you are a good candidate for the All-on-4 procedure and talk about your case and goals in detail.
• Undergo dental check-ups and examinations as well as medical tests such as X-rays and computed tomography scans. Such evaluations assist your dentist in determining the precise location of the implant as well as determining your bone quality.
• Report any pre-existing medical conditions and the use of any blood-thinning drugs to your dentist. Several medicines and medical issues interact with the healing process which impacts the performance of the implants.
• If there are any guidelines concerning diets or medications before the surgery that were given by your dentist then make sure to adhere to them. The necessity for fasting arises from the use of anesthesia which minimizes the possibility of developing complications during the procedure.
• Make a schedule for the next few days to give adequate time for the body to recover after the procedure.
• Do not smoke and reduce alcohol intake as both can inhibit the body’s healing process. Smoking and alcohol are both considered variables that may compromise blood flow and the body’s self-healing mechanisms.
• Make sure you prepare all your prescribed medicines and the analgesics you will require after the operation in place. Carrying medications around allows for the rigorous treatment of pain and more so preventing infection after the surgery.
• Do not dress up formally on the day of the procedure since you will be uncomfortable most of the time when you are being monitored by the dentist. Clothing that is worn during the operation should be loose and easy to wear for the convenience of the medical practitioners and the patient.
• Make a wound dressing and an ice pack in anticipation of the surgery so that they can minimize swelling after the operation. Thus, ice packs assist in controlling inflammation as well as pain during the first days after cavitation surgery.

All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure

Below are the All-on-4 steps I have performed. Some applications may differ from patient to patient and from clinic to clinic.

Initial Examination and Evaluation

The initial stages involve photography of the mouth, examination through dental radiographs, and 3D images of the general health of the mouth and the bone’s quality.

Treatment Planning

After the check-up, the dentist then stages the All-on-4 treatment which is most appropriate for the said patient concerning the patient’s preference.

Extraction of Teeth

Some teeth that may be decaying or unhealthy are also removed to pave the way for the implant-placing process if the need arises.

Implant Site Preparation

They take simple measurements and surgery to ready the jawbone for the implants and make sure the sites are clean for the implants.

Placement of Implants

Four dental implants are installed into the jaw bone at specific locations, two in the front are set vertically while two at the back are set at an angle to ensure they offer the needed hold.

Immediate Loading

The patient is given All-on-4 temporary teeth that can be fixed and replaced on the implants as soon as they have been installed, provisioning the patient leaves the clinic with a functional set of teeth.

Healing and Osseointegration

After the operation, the implants of titanium screws bond with the jawbone after a few months in a process known as osseointegration which leads to the secure fixing of prosthetic teeth.

Follow-Up Appointments

An outpatient follow-up examination is planned to evaluate the process of tissue healing and to check how the implants osseointegrate.

Final Prosthesis Design

After the implant has osseointegrated, the dentist then takes exact impressions of the patient's mouth and a correct final set of teeth is made.

Customization of Prosthetic Teeth

The last prosthesis is similar in color, size, and shape to the remaining teeth of the patient to achieve an aesthetic and comfortable result.

Attachment of Final Prosthesis

These custom-made teeth are firmly fixed to the implantations and the prosthesis cycle is done.

Bite Adjustment and Comfort Check

The dentist then adjusts it to the right position to fit the patient's bite and checks if the new teeth that have been created are comfortable.

What to do after All-on-4 treatments?

All-on-4 Turkey patients usually will have soreness and therefore they should take pain relievers as advised by the dentist together with applying ice on the face to reduce swelling at All-on-4 aftercare period. As far as the first weeks are concerned, it is essential to avoid applying pressure on the new implants, thus staying on a soft diet, no smoking, and alcohol intake. Patients should brush and floss well to avoid infections around the implant sites. For the first few days, the head must be kept elevated to decrease inflammation and improve recovery. They should refrain from activities and practices that can harm the jaw and therefore the implants, such as combat sports.

How painful are All-on-4 dental implants?

All-on-4 surgery does not cause pain during the surgery as it is performed under local anesthesia. Since I am a dentist, I monitor the reaction of the patient to ensure there is no discomfort, then adjust the level of anesthesia that is being applied. In general, postoperative pain and discomfort are moderate since the procedure requires working with the jawbone and gums. Using an ice pack also inhibits the flow of blood, hence reducing swelling, while sleeping with the head raised prevents the accumulation of fluids thus reducing swelling. Any discomfort that is chronic or when it intensifies should be communicated to the dentist because it may herald a complication. Headache, for instance, can be solved by the use of drugs that are obtained by prescription such as Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen which has the role of reducing the swelling of the affected area of the body.

Is All-on-4 worth it?

Yes, performing many All-on-4 implant surgeries and as a dentist, I can say that the All-on-4 procedure is a commendable intervention due to the following reasons:

• All-on-4 implants offer fixed and stable denture treatment plans for edentulous patients and significantly improve the functional aspect by enabling effective mastication.
• This procedure also prevents bone deterioration in the jaw as is often the case with people who have missing teeth.
• From an aesthetic point of view, All-on-4 bridge ensures that the patient acquires a natural smile which plays a critical role in improving their morale and quality of life.
• Moreover, the recovery period seems short compared to other dental procedures making it possible for the patient to get back to their normal activities as they desire.
• Another factor that adds value to All-on-4 teeth in a day is the relatively long time they are likely to last and their low maintenance needs.

How long do All-on-4 implant treatments last?

All-on-4 teeth implant treatment is expected to last for 20 years or even more. Their duration depends on factors like dental health practices, wellness, and the durability of the implants. Regular examinations also contribute to their longevity as do routine dental checkups needed to maintain good oral health. It is also a fact that the lifetime of the implants may also depend on the proficiency of the surgeon to do the job meticulously. In conclusion, All-on-4 dentures have high satisfaction rates and a good overall prognosis when adequate attention is paid to their management.

Why do patients go to Turkey for All-on-4?

There are important reasons that make patients opt for Turkey when they require All-on-4 full arch dental implants. They enjoy the well-developed healthcare system in the country and the availability of well-trained and experienced dentists. Besides, the legal control and regular checkups of the clinics and hospitals also make medical tourism safer and more reliable. All-on-4 full mouth cost in Turkey is affordable as compared to the prices in other countries; this makes it favorable. Contrary to many European nations, there is often no lengthy wait for the surgery. All-on-4 packages provide patients with services of accommodation, transport, tourism, and 24/7 contact with a dentist beside treatment. Besides, coastal cities such as Antalya and Istanbul provide wonderful conditions for tourism; therefore patients can simultaneously receive treatment and have a good time on a seashore.

How soon can I return to work after All-on-4?

The patient's mobility after the All-on-4 procedure is high and many can go back to work in 48 hours. The waiting period is used to get a first-line treatment and is effective in preventing the occurrence of complications. At this time, the general inflammation and pain decrease allowing one to engage in most of the regular activities. One should not report to work if there is any sign of inflammation or any other severe pain as this will cause more delays. All-on-4 recovery periods may last longer if there are problems such as increased swelling or infection or if there are any other procedures such as bone grafting. In such situations, the patient should adhere to their dentist’s advice and give adequate time for recovery before going back to work.

What is the success rate of All-on-4?

The success rate of All-on-4 implants is about 95%. Our clinic, Kuram Dental, has a case success rate similar to this with over 95% success at the clinic. This high success rate may, however, drop among patients who smoke, have poor hygiene, or have other diseases such as diabetes. Other causes that are attributed to poor results include low bone mass and incorrect positioning of the implant. It is important to follow good oral hygiene and other post-surgical guidelines to retain the success of implants.

Which is better, All-on-4 or All-on-6?

All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants treatment options depend on the patient’s condition. All-on-4 is a treatment that entails the placement of four implants in the jaw to hold an arch of teeth; it is more conservative with a shorter healing period than the traditional method. This method is suitable for patients with lower bone density resulting from fewer implants that will be used. All-on-6 implants are done using six implants and offer more support and anchorage which is particularly helpful to patients with denser bones or those looking for more rigid teeth replacements. More implants also allow for increased loading distribution in All-on-6 which also improves the long-term prognosis. Thus, the last option should be decided according to the analysis of an experienced dentist taking into account the condition of the jawbone, the cleanliness of the oral cavity, and the patient’s condition.

Which anesthesia is done for All-on-4?

In All-on-4 procedures, local anesthesia is usually preferred. Sometimes patients are given sedation or even general anesthesia depending on how anxious the patient is or the type of surgery that is being carried out. Local anesthesia provides surgical area blockage usually for a few hours while sedation and general anesthesia help relax the patient for a longer time. While in the process, patients are not in pain if the right anesthetic is used and if required, the anesthetic can be made to last the entire process of the surgery.
