What is dental All-on-4 treatment?

All-on-4 is a fixed full-arch restoration supported by four strategically positioned dental implants, when bone, health, and bite conditions allow.

How are implants positioned to support a full arch?

Implants are titanium fixtures placed in the jawbone, often with angled posterior implants to use available bone. They support a provisional or definitive prosthesis that replaces the visible teeth and chewing surfaces.

What happens during an All-on-4 suitability assessment?

Evaluation includes medical history, gum assessment, 3D imaging, bite analysis, and prosthetic planning. Treatment may include extractions, implant placement, temporary teeth, healing, and a later definitive bridge.

When should problems after implant surgery be assessed?

Seek assessment for persistent gum infection, uncontrolled pain, loose temporary teeth, or swelling after surgery. Suitability depends on healing capacity, bone anatomy, hygiene, bite forces, and maintenance.

What should you ask before choosing All-on-4 treatment?

Ask how many teeth will be removed, what imaging shows, which prosthesis is planned, how cleaning will work, and what alternatives exist if implants are unsuitable.
