The revolutionary All-on-4 technique of placing 4 implants at specific angles allows for fixing a temporary bridge, giving patients the ability to regain normal chewing patterns in a short period of time and providing a permanent and secure solution.

‍

The acrylic temporary bridge can be replaced with a permanent bridge after a few months.

All-on-4 is an immediate loading technique (4–6 implants per arch) that can restore the patient’s natural chewing ability and efficiency. What patients want after tooth loss is a safe and permanent, and above all, fast solution, which is what makes immediate load implants such an innovative solution.

‍

This technique stabilises the bone, protects it from further resorption and preserves the health of the bone by placing two posterior dental implants at a 45° angle. This quick and minimally invasive procedure is an excellent solution for patients with bone loss, eliminating the need for bone grafting.

‍

The All-on-4 technique is an ideal solution for patients who have insufficient bone support to qualify for conventional implants.

‍

After placing the dental implants, a temporary bridge is fixed tightly with screws onto the implants already the next day after the procedure. The temporary bridge is replaced with a final bridge after 6 months.

Advantages of All-on-4 implants:

– fewer implants needed (only 4)

– a fast procedure

– restored chewing function in just a few days

– time-saving

– suitable even for patients experiencing bone loss

The All-on-6 method places 6 implants into the jawbone, and once they’ve healed, a ceramic bridge is fixed tightly with screws, replacing the missing teeth. This type of bridge, fixed onto 6 implants, offers a more stable and long-term solution.‍
