All-On-4® Dental Implants

Unlike traditional dental implants that may require multiple implants for each missing tooth, the All-on-4 procedure utilises only four implants strategically placed in the jawbone to support a full arch prosthesis, reducing the need for bone grafting and shortening the treatment timeline.

Suitable candidates for the All-on-4 treatment are typically individuals with significant tooth loss in one or both arches, good overall health, and sufficient bone density to support the implants. A thorough examination and consultation with one of our qualified dental professionals is necessary to determine candidacy.

The All-on-4 treatment offers several advantages, including a shorter treatment duration, reduced need for bone grafting, enhanced stability and functionality compared to removable dentures, and improved aesthetics, leading to greater confidence and quality of life.

The All-on-4 dental implant process typically involves initial consultations, diagnostic tests, implant placement surgery, and fabrication and placement of the final prosthesis. While the exact timeline may vary depending on individual factors, most patients can expect to have their new teeth within a few months.

The success rate of All-on-4 dental implants is high, with studies showing success rates of over 95% in the long term. However, individual factors such as oral hygiene, bone quality, and overall health can influence the success of the treatment.

While the All-on-4 dental implant treatment is generally safe, like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, including infection, implant failure, nerve damage, and sinus problems. At Sunshine Dental Group, we work hard to reduce any unwanted side effects, and are happy to discuss any concerns with you.

Proper oral hygiene is essential for the long-term success of All-on-4 dental implants. Patients should brush and floss regularly, use antimicrobial mouthwash, and schedule routine dental check-ups and cleanings to maintain the health of their implants and surrounding tissues.

Yes, one of the significant benefits of All-on-4 dental implants is their stability and durability, allowing patients to eat a wide variety of foods with confidence. However, it’s advisable to avoid excessively hard or sticky foods that could potentially damage the prosthetic or strain the implants.

With proper care and maintenance, All-on-4 dental implants can last a lifetime. However, the lifespan of the restoration may vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene practices, lifestyle habits, and the quality of the prosthetic material. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene habits can help prolong the longevity of the implants and the restoration.
