All-on-Four implant treatment is a modern implant surgery technique that enables fixed dental prostheses especially for fully edentulous patients or individuals with advanced bone loss in the jaw. At Dentme Oral and Dental Health Clinic in Gaziemir, this method allows patients to regain functional, aesthetic, and fixed teeth in a short period of time with a highly comfortable treatment process.
What Is All-on-Four Implant Treatment?
All-on-Four implant treatment is an advanced surgical technique used primarily for patients who have lost all teeth or have significant bone loss in the posterior areas of the jaw. This method has been successfully applied for nearly 20 years and its effectiveness has been scientifically proven.
In this technique, two implants are placed vertically in the front region of the jaw, while two implants are positioned at approximately 45-degree angles in the posterior region. This angled placement makes it possible to achieve a stable, fixed prosthesis even in cases where conventional implant treatment is not feasible.
Thanks to immediate loading protocols, patients can often receive temporary fixed teeth on the same day and continue their social life without interruption.
How Is All-on-Four Performed?
All-on-Four is especially suitable for patients with advanced bone resorption in the posterior jaw. Unlike conventional implant treatments that require sinus lift or bone grafting, this technique eliminates the need for additional surgical procedures.
- Two implants are placed vertically in the anterior jaw
- Two implants are positioned at a 45-degree angle in the posterior jaw
- A fixed prosthesis is planned on a total of four implants
- Temporary fixed teeth can often be placed on the same day
This allows patients who were previously unable to benefit from fixed prostheses to enjoy the comfort of stable, functional teeth.
Who Is Suitable for All-on-Four?
All-on-Four implant treatment is primarily designed for fully edentulous patients. It is also an ideal option for:
- Patients with advanced bone loss in the upper or lower jaw
- Individuals dissatisfied with removable dentures
- Cases where sinus lift or bone grafting is not recommended
- Patients seeking a fast solution with fixed teeth
What Are the Advantages of All-on-Four?
- Fixed prostheses with fewer implants compared to conventional methods
- Less invasive surgery and reduced bone trauma
- Lower risk of swelling, pain, and infection
- Possibility of same-day temporary fixed teeth
- No need for sinus lift or bone grafting
- More economical and faster treatment process
All-on-Four Treatment Costs
The cost of All-on-Four implant treatment varies depending on the implant brand used, the patient’s bone structure, and the technical details of the procedure. Compared to All-on-Six treatments, it is generally a more cost-effective solution for fully edentulous cases.
A clinical examination is required to determine the exact treatment plan and cost.
