What is All On Four
All-On-Four is a dental implant treatment concept that involves the placement of a full arch of teeth on just four dental implants. This technique is designed to provide a fixed, permanent solution for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth and may not be good candidates for traditional dental implants due to insufficient bone density or other factors.
The All-On-Four treatment typically involves the placement of two implants in the front of the mouth and two implants in the back of the mouth, angled in a way that maximizes contact with the available bone. Once the implants are in place, a temporary prosthesis is attached to them while the implants fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
After a period of healing, a permanent, custom-made prosthesis, such as a denture or bridge, is attached to the implants, providing a stable and natural-looking replacement for the missing teeth.
The All-On-Four treatment concept is considered to be a relatively fast and cost-effective way to restore the function and appearance of a full arch of teeth, as it requires fewer dental implants and can often be completed in just one or two visits to the dentist.
Who is the All On Four for?
All-On-Four is a dental implant treatment concept that is typically recommended for individuals who have lost all or most of their teeth and are looking for a fixed, permanent solution to restore their smile.
The All-On-Four treatment concept is particularly suitable for individuals who may not be good candidates for traditional dental implants due to insufficient bone density or other factors. With All-On-Four, just four dental implants are used to support a full arch of teeth, which can be a more efficient and cost-effective solution than using multiple implants to replace each individual tooth.
All-On-Four may also be a suitable treatment option for individuals who are looking for a faster and less invasive alternative to traditional dentures, which can be uncomfortable and may require frequent adjustments.
