The All-on-4 treatment concept was developed to maximize the use of the remaining bone available in the jaws, especially in cases of bone loss due to age or prolonged tooth loss. This allows for immediate implantation and avoids additional costs and procedures such as bone grafting.

The protocol uses four implants in the anterior part of the jaw to support the prosthetic arch. Two anterior implants are placed axially, while the two posterior implants are placed at an angle to reduce the load length and support the prosthesis. This allows for the placement of a prosthetic arch with up to 12 teeth, significantly improving chewing efficiency.

The All-on-4 dental implant procedure has achieved great success at Wonders Dentistry Center.

How is a Dental Implant Procedure Performed?

• Most dental implant procedures are performed under local anesthesia, though in some cases, general anesthesia may be used.
• A dental imaging scan is required, and the doctor may request a CT scan of the teeth and jaws to diagnose issues that cannot be seen during a routine examination. This helps determine the remaining bone volume, the relationship of the future implants to vital areas in the jaw (such as nerves, sinuses, and the nasal cavity), and the density and quality of the bone.
• Patients with blood clotting disorders are required to undergo blood clotting function tests before the procedure, as they are at higher risk of bleeding.
• The doctor may prescribe antibiotics to individuals at higher risk of endocarditis, such as those with artificial heart valves or compromised immune systems.
• The implant procedure can begin if the bone is ready to receive the implant. During surgery, the titanium screw-like posts are fixed into the jawbone after preparing the site in the bone.
• The process of placing prosthetic crowns, such as Bio HPP (considered the best type of dental prosthetics), begins by taking impressions of the mouth and the previously placed implants. This is done 3 months after the initial implant placement.
• After taking the impressions and preparing the prosthetics, the implant specialist secures them in the mouth to achieve the best results, as shown in the image.
