All-On-4 Dental Implant

All-On-4 is a treatment method that fixes all the teeth in a toothless jaw by placing four dental implants. Unlike traditional implants, this treatment supports all the teeth along the jaw with only four implants. It offers a faster solution than other dental implant methods and treatment with temporary teeth can usually be started within one day.

All-On-4 treatment is suitable for people who have lost teeth and have sufficient jaw bone structure and good general health. Ideal candidates for the treatment are individuals who have lost teeth but have not experienced or have decreased jaw bone loss. It is also recommended for people who want to improve their smile and have more functional teeth.

The duration of All-On-4 treatment varies depending on the person's jaw structure and general health. After the implants are placed, temporary teeth can be installed within one day. However, a healing process of approximately 3-6 months is required for the implants to fuse with the jawbone. At the end of this process, permanent teeth are placed.

Yes, All-On-4 dental implants are a long-term and permanent solution. Once the implants fuse with the jawbone, they can remain solid and functional for many years. With proper care and regular dentist visits, they can be used for a lifetime.

There is usually no pain during the application of All-On-4 treatment because local anesthesia is applied. However, there may be mild pain, swelling or discomfort for a few days after the implants are placed. This pain can usually be controlled with prescription painkillers and passes in a short time.

When temporary teeth are placed after treatment, there may be some difficulties in eating. However, after the permanent teeth are placed, you can eat like normal teeth. It is recommended that you prefer soft foods during the initial healing process.

Yes, All-On-4 dental implants are made with fixed teeth that have an extremely natural appearance. The implants are designed specifically for the person and are made in the color and shape of their natural teeth. This provides an aesthetically natural smile and is not noticeable from the outside.

Although rare, some complications can occur. These may include infection, implants not fusing with the jawbone (failure), swelling or bleeding in the gums, and bone loss. However, these complications can usually be prevented by careful monitoring by specialist dentists.

The cost of All-On-4 treatment can vary depending on factors such as the materials used, the clinic treated, and the geographical location. The treatment can often be more economical than traditional implant treatments because only four implants are used and the treatment process is shorter. However, the cost should be determined according to individual evaluation in each case.

The jawbone must be strong and have a sufficient structure for All-On-4 treatment. If the jawbone is eroded or insufficient, the chances of success of implants may be reduced. However, in most cases, additional procedures such as bone grafting can strengthen the jawbone and make treatment possible.

All-On-4 dental implants can last for many years with proper care and hygiene. However, implants and teeth can wear out over time. Regular care, dental cleanings and check-ups are necessary to extend the life of teeth. It is also important to take care of teeth patiently and carefully.

All-On-4 dental implants require care like natural teeth. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, use dental floss and visit your dentist regularly. Also, pay attention to proper dental care techniques to keep the gums around your implants healthy.

All-On-4 treatment helps prevent bone loss as it integrates with the jawbone. Implants stimulate bone structure and prevent bone loss. However, if the jawbone is already weak, bone grafting may be required before implants.

The success rate of All-On-4 treatment is extremely high. When well planned and applied by an expert surgeon, the success rate is over 95%. When the treatment process is well managed, it is possible for the implants to fuse with the jawbone and for fixed teeth to be placed healthily.

Most insurance plans do not cover dental implants. However, some private insurance plans may cover dental implants under certain conditions. It is a good idea to contact your insurance provider to find out your insurance status.
