All-on-Four dental treatment is a modern and effective solution for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth. By placing a full-arch prosthesis on just four strategically positioned implants, patients can achieve a natural, stable, and highly functional smile. In İzmir Karşıyaka, this method is successfully performed by experienced implant specialists using advanced technology.
What Is All-on-Four?
The All-on-Four concept is a fixed full-arch restoration supported by four implants placed in the upper or lower jaw. This innovative approach eliminates the need for a separate implant for every missing tooth and offers a stable, long-lasting dental solution.
Key Features of the All-on-Four Technique
- Full arch on four implants: A complete dental prosthesis is anchored on four implants.
- Angled posterior implants: Rear implants are placed at strategic angles where bone density is highest.
- Immediate loading: Temporary teeth can be placed on the same day after implant surgery.
- Prevents bone loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping prevent future bone resorption.
- Cost-effective: Fewer implants and reduced need for grafting lower overall treatment cost.
Advantages of All-on-Four Treatment
- Quick aesthetic and functional results
- Less invasive compared to traditional full-mouth implants
- Often no need for sinus lift or bone grafting
- Natural-looking, fixed, and comfortable prosthetics
- Restores chewing ability and speech effectively
All-on-Four Treatment Process
1. Consultation & Planning: 3D imaging and clinical examination are used to evaluate bone structure and create a personalized plan.
2. Implant Placement: Four implants are inserted under local anesthesia; posterior implants are placed at an angle.
3. Immediate Temporary Teeth: A temporary full-arch prosthesis is attached on the same day.
4. Healing Period: Osseointegration (implant–bone fusion) takes a few months.
5. Permanent Prosthesis: After healing, a custom-made permanent full-arch prosthesis is securely attached.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Patients who have lost all or most of their teeth
