Those who suffer from tooth loss may have problems chewing or feel uncomfortable with their appearance. With the help of the all-on-4™ method, you can smile worry-free again. This treatment allows the dentist to replace any missing teeth in just one single session.

To achieve this, the dentist inserts the implants into the jawbone at a certain distance and a precisely defined angle. Then he attaches the fixed dentures to it. This is usually a screw-retained bridge. Thanks to this stable base, patients can leave the dental practice with new teeth on the same day.

 

Fact 1: All-on-4™ offers inexpensive & uncomplicated dentures

In the past, a fixed bridge that was supposed to replace all lost teeth had to be anchored onto at least eight dental implants in the upper jaw and six in the lower jaw. The all-on-4™ concept manages with only four implants per jaw. With much fewer implant materials required, the costs are significantly lower with this method.

 

Fact 2: Implants without bone augmentation

Traditionally, if the jawbone is too thin, the dentist must first build it up so that he can securely anchor the dental implants and dentures. Thanks to all-on-4™, we can say goodbye to the time-consuming augmentation. Implants with a very thin or narrow jawbone will no longer be a problem.

 

Fact 3: Both jaws can be restored in one session

With all-on-4™, teeth can be replaced in one session, even if the patient is completely edentulous (lacking teeth). This is not only time saving, but also a lot less stressful to the patient.

 

Fact 4: You don't have to wait for your new teeth

One of the greatest advantages of all-on-4™ is the fact that teeth can be replaced immediately after tooth loss. Even loose teeth, gum problems or inflammations are not a problem as any problem will be addressed during the procedure. Therefore, the method is particularly suitable for patients who want to avoid lengthy treatment or nervous patients.

 

Fact 5: All-on-4™ implants can last a lifetime

Implant-supported dentures usually last for many years, sometimes a lifetime. The better you take care of your implant-supported bridges, the longer they will last.

 

Fact 6: All-on-4™ requires thorough oral hygiene

To ensure that you can enjoy your new teeth for as long as possible, thorough oral hygiene is essential. Food residues under fixed dentures will promote the growth of bacteria. This in turn can lead to inflammation, which can endanger the tight fit of the implants. If you choose dentures with all-on-4™, you should be aware that you have to pay particular attention to your oral hygiene. It is best to have a professional implant cleaning carried out once to two times a year.

 

Fact 7: A private health insurance company might contribute to the costs

Those who are insured with a private health insurance company might be covered and be reimbursed for parts or even all of the costs, depending on the contract. If in doubt, you should check with your insurance company.

 

Fact 8: The all-on-4™ method is very safe

Treatment with all-on-4™ is very safe and side effects are not very common. In some extremely rare cases, the nerves on the chin could be injured during the procedure, which could lead to sensory disorders in this area. Patients who smoke or have bad dental hygiene habits are easier to develop peri-implantitis, which is periodontitis on the dental implant.

 

Fact 9: The all-on-4™ method has been around since 1998

The first patient was treated with all-on-4™ around 20 years ago. Since then, more than 100,000 patients have received new fixed teeth in one day . The method has been tried and tested and its effectiveness has been scientifically proven in many studies.

 

Fact 10: Certified specialists for the best possible result

For the best result of the all-on-4™ treatment, you should consult a dentist who specializes in this method.
