All-on-4

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a treatment approach in which a fixed dental bridge is made on four implants in a jaw where all the teeth are missing or must be extracted. The two front implants are placed straight and the two back implants are often placed at an angle, so that the more suitable areas of the bone are used. The bridge is not removed by the patient.

Who is it considered for?

It may be considered for people who struggle with a removable denture, who have lost all their teeth, or whose remaining teeth cannot be saved. Not every toothless jaw is suitable for All-on-4; in some cases more implants, a bone graft or a different type of prosthesis may be more appropriate.

How is suitability decided?

The amount and quality of the bone are assessed with a three-dimensional scan. General health also matters: uncontrolled diabetes, smoking, some bone medicines and a history of radiotherapy to the head and neck can affect healing. Always tell us at the examination about any medicines you take.

How does the process work?

The surgery is done under local anaesthesia; if needed, additional sedation options are discussed. Where suitable, a temporary fixed bridge can be attached to the implants shortly afterwards. The permanent bridge is made after a healing period of a few months, during which the bone and the implants fuse.

Aftercare

The underside of the fixed bridge and the area around the implants are cleaned with a toothbrush, interdental brushes and, if needed, a water flosser. Regular check-ups are needed to monitor the health of the tissues around the implants. Smoking increases the risk of inflammation around implants.
