All-on-4: Full-Arch Dental Implants for a Complete Smile
Overview
The All-on-4 dental implant technique is a revolutionary solution for individuals with missing teeth or those who require full-arch restoration. This procedure involves placing four strategically positioned dental implants in the jawbone to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. The All-on-4 technique offers a stable, long-lasting, and natural-looking solution that restores function and aesthetics. Our expert dental surgeons in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure optimal results and a high level of patient satisfaction.
Procedure Options
- Standard All-on-4: Involves placing four dental implants in the upper or lower jaw to support a full arch of fixed prosthetic teeth. This option is ideal for patients with sufficient jawbone density.
- All-on-4 with Bone Grafting: For patients with insufficient jawbone density, bone grafting may be performed to strengthen the jawbone and ensure a stable foundation for the implants.
- Immediate Load All-on-4: Also known as "Teeth in a Day," this approach allows for the placement of temporary prosthetic teeth on the same day as the implants, providing immediate function and aesthetics.
Benefits:
- Full-arch restoration with just four implants
- Immediate improvement in function and appearance
- Permanent and stable solution for missing teeth
- Prevents bone loss and preserves jawbone structure
- Enhanced comfort and confidence compared to traditional dentures
- Minimally invasive with quicker recovery times
Risks:
- Infection or inflammation at the implant site
- Potential for implant failure or rejection
- Nerve damage, causing pain or numbness
- Sinus problems (for upper jaw implants)
- Discomfort or bite issues if prosthetics are not properly fitted
Our expert dental surgeons in Turkey use advanced techniques to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Initial Recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, although complete healing and osseointegration (fusion of the implants to the bone) may take several months.
- Pain Management: Mild to moderate pain, swelling, and bruising are common after surgery and can be managed with prescribed medications and cold compresses.
- Oral Hygiene: Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, and avoid habits that can damage your implants, such as chewing on hard objects.
- Follow-Up Care: Attend regular dental check-ups to monitor the condition of your implants and ensure the health of your gums and jawbone. Your dentist will provide specific guidelines for care and maintenance.
