In cases where there is bone deficiency in the posterior regions, it is possible to make fixed prostheses without the need for advanced surgery by using angled implants with the All on 4 technique. The advantages are;
This treatment can be applied to all edentulous (no teeth) patients who do not have any systemic disease that may prevent dental implant surgery and have sufficient bone volume. Temporary dental prosthesis fixed on dental implants after the procedure can be used immediately. However, in the 3-month period, which is the process of fusion of dental implants and bone, patients should be fed with a recommended diet. After this process is completed, it is possible to return to the normal diet with the permanent prosthesis to be made.
Before the treatment, surgical planning is made with the help of panoramic x-rays and dental volumetric tomography. Implants are placed with a simple surgery. On the same day, the temporary dental prosthesis is fixed on the dental implants. During the three-month healing period, it is necessary to avoid very hot, cold, solid, hard and sticky foods. After three months, when the fusion process of the bone is completed, permanent dental prostheses are inserted. You can switch to a normal diet.
One of the frequently asked questions is who can benefit from the treatment applied with the All on 4 technique. First of all, let us state that patients who have lost all their teeth can benefit from this treatment. However, prosthetic teeth can be applied with this technique when the remaining teeth that have lost most of their teeth must be extracted.
However, of course, it is necessary to extract the remaining teeth before the treatment. Let us also convey the information that this treatment is recommended especially for patients with high bone loss in the back of the lower and upper jaw. It is very important that patients start using dentures on the same day. In this way, speech and feeding problems can be prevented, and patients with bone loss can also benefit from prosthetic tooth application with peace of mind.
If various problems such as gingival disorders are detected during the pre-treatment examination, first of all, a treatment is applied to eliminate these problems.

Few days would be enough for your all preparation before the All on 4 procedure.
Recovery time may vary between 5-10 days. You should plan your vacation accordingly.
A fixed prosthesis with 10 to 14 teeth is supported by the four implants and is put in place right away, usually 24 hours after surgery.
Due to the lack of nerve endings in the all-on-four dental implant arch, patients may develop biting issues. The absence of nerve endings also affects chewing. Therefore, until they establish secure chewing habits with their new teeth, patients must be instructed on how to chew properly and consume slowly.
The durability of All-in-4 implants has been demonstrated over time. In fact, studies indicate that with proper maintenance, they can survive 20 years or longer. The implant posts shouldn't ever need to be changed; however, your denture will wear out over time.
Patients with poor dental health in the past and underlying problems that would make recovering from implant surgery challenging or abnormally slow are not excellent candidates for All on 4.
Recovery from All-on-4 dental implants can take up to six months. Your quality of life might be enhanced, and your self-esteem can rise as a result of receiving new permanent replacement teeth.
With all-on-4 dental implants, you can replace a whole arch of teeth with a quick, minimal procedure. All-on-4 dental implants don't require placing individual screws to attach each replacement tooth; rather, they are placed precisely and strategically on the top or bottom of your mouth (or both).
It is necessary for all dental implant surgeries to be performed under some sort of anesthetic or sedation, but how much is entirely up to you and how comfortable you want to be.
Recovery time after placing All-on-4 dental implants is short. This is because the jawbone is where the majority of the process actually takes place. Patients frequently report soreness, and bleeding and edema in the mouth area can occur.
All-on-4 enhances the quality of life for those who have fixed and permanent tooth replacements. With prostheses, All-on-4 improves patients' oral health over time by lowering the incidence of dental conditions, including periodontitis. Long-term jawbone strength is increased by these implants.
