All-on-4 Implants

• Implant Failure: Rare but possible due to infection, insufficient bone, or excessive pressure during healing.
• Infection: Bacteria at the implant site can cause complications. Proper oral hygiene minimizes risk.
• Bone Loss: Some bone loss may occur, especially with poor implant care or underlying health issues.
• Nerve Damage: Improper implant placement may cause numbness or tingling in the lips, chin, or gums.
• Sinus Issues: For upper jaw implants, there’s a small risk of protrusion into the sinus cavity, leading to complications.
• Prosthetic Breakage: Temporary prostheses may be less durable and require careful handling.
• Discomfort and Swelling: Normal after surgery but typically subsides within a few days.
• Long-Term Maintenance: Regular checkups and proper oral hygiene are essential for long-lasting results.

• Individuals who have lost most or all teeth in one or both arches.
• Patients with sufficient jawbone density for implant placement.
• Those looking for a stable and permanent alternative to traditional dentures.
• People in overall good health without conditions that could affect healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or smoking.

• Immediate Results: A temporary prosthesis is placed the same day, restoring appearance and function.
• Stable and Secure: No slipping or discomfort like traditional dentures.
• Aesthetically Pleasing: Custom prosthetics provide a natural and attractive smile.
• Minimal Bone Grafting: Strategic implant placement often avoids the need for bone grafting.
• Quick Recovery Time: The streamlined procedure reduces healing time compared to individual implants.
• Long-Term Durability: With proper care, implants can last decades, offering a permanent solution.

With proper care and maintenance, All-on-4 implants can last 20 years or more. Factors affecting longevity include:

• Oral hygiene practices.
• Regular dental checkups.
• Avoiding habits like teeth grinding or smoking.

The prosthetic teeth may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear and tear, but the implants themselves are designed for long-term stability.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring you feel no pain during the surgery. Post-surgery, mild discomfort and swelling are normal but manageable with prescribed pain medication and rest.

Bone grafting is rarely required with the All-on-4 technique. The implants are placed at strategic angles to maximize contact with available bone, making the procedure suitable for patients with minimal bone density.

Yes, the prosthetic teeth are custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking smile.

All-on-4 implants closely mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. The secure fit and fixed nature of the prosthesis provide stability and comfort similar to having a full set of healthy natural teeth.

Yes, once the healing process is complete, you can enjoy a wide variety of foods without restrictions. During the initial healing period, a soft-food diet is recommended to avoid placing excessive pressure on the implants.

• Stability: Unlike dentures, All-on-4 implants are fixed and do not slip.
• Comfort: Eliminates gum irritation and discomfort associated with dentures.
• Functionality: Allows for stronger biting and chewing forces.
• Aesthetics: Provides a natural-looking, permanent solution.

• Individual Implants: A single implant for each missing tooth, though this is more invasive and costly.
• Implant-Supported Dentures: Removable dentures supported by implants, offering improved stability compared to traditional dentures.
• Traditional Dentures: Non-surgical option for replacing teeth, though less stable and comfortable.

Yes, individual components, such as the prosthetic teeth, can be replaced if damaged or worn. The implants themselves are designed for long-term stability and are rarely replaced unless complications arise.
