ALL-ON-4

All-On-4 Explanation:

A fixed bridge is attached to dental implants – all in one visit.

Your first step in the procedure will be a consultation, during this consultation, he will examine your mouth and take x-rays and a CT scan may also be required, which will enable the dentist to ascertain your suitability for this treatment.

Your dentist will also discuss alternative treatment options with you before you commit to anything.

If you need to have teeth extracted before your implants are inserted, this can usually be done on the same day as the implant placements.

On the day of surgery, any remaining teeth are extracted, and 4-6 implants are placed, usually, six implants, which are placed in the upper arch, with four in the lower arch.

This procedure has earned the nickname ‘teeth in a day’, ‘smile in a day’ or ‘same day teeth’. This is a drastic improvement on traditional implant procedures, which can take six months or more to complete, with extensive recovery time at each step of the process.

On the day of surgery, we can arrange for you to have sedation to help you relax during the procedure. Implants will be placed, and an implant-retained bridge can usually be fitted on the same day, and you will leave the practice with your ‘new smile.’

Full aftercare advice will be given by our team, but usually, a more permanent bridge will then be fitted to the implants in approximately 6-9 months, following the surgery and when proper bone integration has taken place.
