What is All on 4 Implant?

All on 4 is an innovative and effective implant treatment. In classical implant treatments, laborious, costly and painful methods such as using an artificial root for each tooth can be used. However, this is not the case for all on 4.  In the treatment of all on four implants, as the name of the treatment suggests, four implant roots are used.

In addition to all these,  it is necessary to have knowledge about the concept of fixed teeth with four implants in order to understand what is All on 4 treatment, which is  an innovative dental implant  treatment.

Fixed Tooth Concept with Four Implants in a Single Jaw

All on 4 treatment is  a treatment applied to offer a fixed prosthesis to the individual. Fixed prostheses are prostheses  that are considered within the scope of implant prosthesis types and offer long-lasting and functional results to the toothless problem.  In the treatment of all on four implants, prostheses that can be used permanently and have a good aesthetic appearance are placed on 4 artificial roots by using implant-supported prostheses. In summary, in all on four implants, a design is made to help obtain effective results based on the fixed tooth concept with four implants. This design  can be made much more advantageous by supporting it with different options such as aesthetic veneer options within the scope of dental aesthetics.  

Who Is All On Four Treatment Suitable For?

All-on-four treatment is a treatment that can be suitable for many different patient profiles. However, in order for four implants to be used in all on four treatment in a way that provides very solid results, the individual  should not experience problems such as advanced jawbone resorption. This is actually valid and necessary not only for all on 4 implants, but also for almost all types of implants. In addition to all these, situations such as immediate loading  in all on four treatment, that is, the ability to meet the need for teeth in a single day, make this treatment option ideal for individuals looking for a quick solution.  

What are the Advantages of All on 4 Treatment? 

All on 4 is an implant treatment that stands out with its advantages. It is possible for All on 4 implant treatment to offer advantageous results in many different ways. These advantageous results can be explained in more detail under a few headings. 

Fast and Comfortable Treatment Process 

One of the biggest advantages of the All on 4 implant is that it offers a fast and comfortable treatment process. In classical implant treatments, it may be necessary to wait for long periods such as 3-6 months before the prosthesis can be placed after the implant is placed. This process is necessary for situations such as determining whether the jawbone and other surrounding tissues will accept the implant. However,  it is not necessary to wait 3-6 months in the All on four implant option. In some cases, prosthesis placement can be performed immediately after implant placement, and in some cases, a few weeks after implant placement. This makes the treatment faster and more comfortable. 

Aesthetic and Functional Benefits

All on 4 implant  treatment is one of the most effective  types of edentulous treatment. In this treatment, it becomes possible for the individual to gain an advantage in terms of functions such as chewing and appearance, thanks to dental prostheses that offer both functional and aesthetically effective results together with quality and robust implants. 

What is the All on 4 Application Process?

The All on 4 application process is  a process that involves eliminating the missing teeth with four implants. In this process, first of all, a comprehensive interview is carried out and the patient is examined in detail by the dentist, just like in other dental treatments. During the comprehensive interview and examination, a plan is made to help the individual achieve results that can achieve all on 4 advantages. In addition, dental x-rays are taken by applying medical imaging techniques and more comprehensive information about the oral structure of the individual is obtained. After planning in line with the information obtained, the surgical stage and the prosthesis stage are started. 

Surgical Stage: Placement of Implants 

One of the most important stages in the application process of all on four implant treatment is the surgical stage. At this stage, as the name of the stage suggests, implants are placed. Local anesthesia and rarely general anesthesia can be used during the implant placement phase. In addition, at this stage, implants are placed at various points in the gums so that tooth loss can be eliminated with four implants.

Prosthetic Stage: Installation of Temporary and Permanent Teeth

The prosthetic stage is also a very important stage. At this stage, veneer prosthetic teeth, which are prepared in accordance with the individual’s other teeth, general mouth structure and aesthetic wishes, if any, are placed on the implants. In this way, it becomes possible for the individual to have teeth that will enable him to achieve advantageous results both aesthetically and functionally. 

Implants and Materials Used in All on 4 Treatment

The implants used in the All on 4 treatment are carefully designed to appeal to individuals who have experienced intense tooth loss or have completely lost their teeth. This design can help individuals to have full palate implants or both upper and lower dental implants at the same time. In these implants, which are prepared from very strong materials, an angulation is used to ideally complete the missing tooth. In this way, it becomes possible for the individual to have functional and quality implants that can be used for many years. 

Special Design Implants and Prosthetic Materials

In all-on-four implant types, care is taken to ensure that prostheses, like implants, are made with a special design and are of high quality. An implant is a material that artificially imitates the root of the tooth, while a prosthesis is a material that mimics the outer part of the tooth. Therefore, the prosthesis is very important both functionally and in terms of appearance. In addition, when choosing prosthetic materials, decisions are made to ensure effective results by taking into account factors such as the general appearance that the individual wants to achieve.

The healing process after All on 4 is a very important process for implant treatment to cause successful results.

  • Avoiding foods that are very hard and tire the jaw while chewing, and feeding with liquid or pureed foods 
  • Controlling sensitivity by avoiding extremely hot and cold foods or drinks

  • Following the dentist’s recommendations for oral care
