Teeth in a Day Before and After Gallery
All-on-4 Implants are an option to replace missing teeth. A full set of beautiful teeth can dramatically boost a person’s confidence, and improve quality of life by providing ease of eating and talking, which most of us take for granted. A set of teeth is usually replaced by the placement of a denture into the implants.

What does the All-on-4 procedure entail?
After your consultation with the dentist, a full jaw radiograph (OPG x-ray) and a CT scan will be taken to examine the amount and location of bone in your jaw. This will allow the dentist to diagnose if there is enough bone length, width and density to securely place All On 4 Dental Implants. A thorough examination will also be performed to check that there are no problems present in the mouth before commencing.
Placement of the four implants is the same as normal implant procedures. Treatment is carried out in a near sterile environment similar to a hospital, with the surfaces and surgeons scrubbed and covered. The operation is carried out under local anaesthesia and is pain-free. We can also offer sedation for nervous patients or more complex surgery. The implant fuses with the natural bone over time. This process is called osseointegration or osteointegration and gives the replacement teeth maximum stability.
The All On 4 Dental Implants are placed are distributed evenly throughout the jaw. The two implants at the posterior of the mouth are fitted at forty-five degree angles to allow maximum stability and take full advantage of the stronger bone in front of the jaw and avoid the maxillary sinus’s in the upper jaw.
Depending on implant stability, either a fixed bridge can be fitted on the same day, or a temporary denture can be provided until you are ready for the final restoration.
The treatment remains popular and is generally successful when performed by an experienced surgeon.
Am I suitable for All-on-4?
Before beginning treatment the dentist will perform a thorough assessment to ensure suitability of treatment. Dental Implants have the highest success rate when performed on suitable candidates. Factors posing as risks to success are if the patient is diabetic or smokes heavily. Smokers must note they are two and a half times more likely to experience failure than non-smokers. However, this does not preclude smokers from having implants.
Those who suffer from gum disease will need to have the condition dealt with prior to proceeding with implants. Treatment may be a professional clean by the dentist (to decrease bacterial count) and a continuation of good oral hygiene regimes at home. For severe cases of gum disease a more intense gum treatment performed by a periodontist may be necessary. It is important the patient understands the importance of good oral hygiene and is able to undertake daily brushing and interdental brushing/flossing using correct techniques prior to the placement of implants and even after treatment.

You should discuss your suitability with your dentist before contemplating undergoing the All-on-4 treatment.
What are the risks of All on 4 Dental Implants?
As with most dental treatments, there are risks involved when placing All-on-4 implants.
Although unlikely, you may experience some pain and swelling in the implant area after the All-on-4 implants are placed. Over the counter pain killers should help with the discomfort until it resolves. However, the procedure itself will be pain-free.
Your dentist will use x-rays or CT scans to determine the exact position of the many nerves which are in your lower jaw. These nerves supply your tongue, chin and lower lip and teeth; if they are disturbed or damaged during the implant procedure, you might experience tingling or numbness. Every effort will be taken by your dentist to avoid this happening.
It is important you weigh up all of the pros and cons when deciding if All-on-4 is the right approach for you
