All On 4 Implants

All On 4 Implants

All on 4 dental implants, also known as All on 4 denture implants or full arch dental implants, are an effective method for replacing an entire arch of missing teeth using four strategically placed implants. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums and can shift or cause discomfort, All-on-4 implants are anchored directly into the jawbone. This creates a stable and secure foundation for the replacement teeth and allows for a natural look and feel.

The term “All-on-4” refers to the technique of placing four implants in the jawbone, which then support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This method is less invasive than placing individual implants for each missing tooth, making it a more cost-effective option for full mouth restoration. All-on-4 dental implants are designed to function just like natural teeth, providing you with the confidence to eat, speak and smile without worry.

The Full Arch Implants Process

The process of getting full arch implants involves several key steps, including:

• Initial Consultation – The process begins with a comprehensive consultation with our implant dentist. During this visit, we’ll assess your oral health, discuss your goals and determine whether full mouth dental implants are the right solution for you. X-rays or 3D imaging may be used to evaluate your jawbone structure and plan the placement of the implants.
• Treatment Planning – After your consultation, a personalised treatment plan will be created. This plan will outline the specific approach for your implant procedure, including the number and positioning of implants and the design of your new teeth.
• Implant Placement – On the day of the procedure, the dentist will place four titanium implants into your jawbone. These implants act as anchors for the full arch of prosthetic teeth. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia.
• Prosthetic Attachment – Once the full arch implants have been placed, a temporary set of teeth is attached to them. These temporary teeth allow you to regain function and aesthetics immediately after the procedure. Over the next few months, the implants will fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
• Final Restoration – After the healing period, the temporary teeth will be replaced with a permanent set of prosthetic teeth on a dental implant bridge. These final teeth are crafted to match your natural teeth in colour, shape and size.
