All on 4

All On Four implant technique is a procedure enabling to fix tooth prothesis on four pieces of dental implant placed at certain angles in patients with no teeth.

What are the advantages of All On Four implant technique?

 •    There is the opportunity to apply fixed dental prosthesis with a single surgery to patients without teeth.  
 •    As no advanced surgery like sinus elevation or addition of bones are applied, operation is much easier.
 •    Period of dental implant surgery is much shorter.
•    As number of dental implants used are less and no additional surgical process is required, its cost is lower than classic dental implant treatment.
•    It provides an aesthetic appearance and smiling line that is planned individually for people. 

•    It is much easier to clean and take care of them when compared with fixed dental prosthesis on classic dental implants.
•    It is suitable for patients who can not use mobile dental prosthesis and who have nausea reflex.
•    Its design is different from full dental prosthesis. As it does not cover the patient’s palate, it is much easier to get used to it amd to use them.
•    As number of required treatment sessions is low, it is appropriate for patients residing abroad.

Procedure of the All-on-4

At the time of the surgical portion of the treatment, the dental surgeon will measure and mark the correct natural distance between the top and bottom jaws of the patient in order to ensure that this distance is preserved at the conclusion of the procedure. Basically, this is done to keep your facial structure and jaw in the same position after the procedure as it was before.

After the patient is sedated, the surgery will begin. Existing teeth and any remnants of previously lost teeth will be extracted, and excess or damaged gum tissue will be removed. An incision will be made along the length of the ridge on both the top and bottom jaws to expose the jawbone for ridge reduction. The ridge will be reduced by removing the predetermined measurements of bone from each of the top and bottom arches, and the remaining bone will be smoothed and prepared for the insertion of the dental implants.

The placement of the dental implants will begin with marking each insertion point on the surface of the bone. Pilot holes for the implants will be drilled at precise angles to obtain the greatest possible strength and stability, while avoiding contact with any other parts of the facial anatomy, such as nerves or sinus cavities. Once the implants are inserted and tightened to the optimum torque requirements, the dental surgeon will replace the gum tissue around the implants and close all incisions.

At this point, the abutments that will serve as the mounting posts for the replacement tooth prosthesis will be attached to the ends of the implants. The contact points where the abutments meet the temporary prosthesis will be marked and drilled, and then tested to ensure secure fit. Now that the temporary prosthesis has been prepared, it will then be secured in place using mechanical fasteners.

The holes in the temporary prosthesis will be filled and sealed, and the bite pattern will be checked and verified. This is now when any high spots or irregular contact points will be corrected to ensure the proper occlusion of the top and bottom jaws. The healing process can now begin.

Advantages of the all-on-4 with Maxident International

• Same day all-on-4 dental implants in Turkey. Full arch restoration does not take much time. Having arrived at our clinic to undergo dental treatment, you will be able to leave it the next day with an ideally restored row of teeth.
• Meticulous reproduction of natural teeth. The fixed jaw wonderfully performs its aesthetic function since it looks absolutely like natural teeth even during a close-up examination.
• Ability to eat and smile immediately after the implantation. The all-on-4 method is designed to improve the patient’s quality of life as much as possible – you will be able to eat and communicate without any discomfort right after the surgery.
• Excellent results in various groups of people, including diabetic and senior patients. The procedure does not require general anesthesia and is performed in the presence of local anesthesia without any age restrictions.
• The all-on-4 protocol helps to tackle the bone atrophy issue efficiently since it implies installing the lower and the upper fixed permanent jaw, which get designed on the basis of individual impressions. Complete dental arch recovery takes from 1 to 7 days (this timeframe is highly individual and depends on how quickly the soft tissue swelling disappears and on other factors).
• Ease of use. With removable dentures, patients often experience considerable discomfort. A removable denture is not as convenient and can cause the destruction of the remaining teeth, which is a result of a prolonged use of full dentures or the development of periodontal diseases.
