If you have multiple missing or severely damaged teeth and are exploring full-arch replacement options, you may have come across the term All-Teeth-On-Four. This innovative treatment is one of the most transformative solutions we offer at DENTL Melbourne, helping patients regain their smile, confidence, and quality of life.
Here’s what you need to know about All-Teeth-On-Four and how it can work for you.
What Is All-Teeth-On-Four?
Also known as Full-Arch-on-Implants, All-Teeth-On-Four is a modern approach to full-arch tooth replacement. Instead of replacing each tooth with a separate implant, this treatment uses as few as four to six strategically placed implants to support an entire set of upper or lower teeth.
You’ll sometimes hear it called All-Teeth-On-X, and the “X” refers to the number of implants used, which may vary depending on your individual needs. Maximising the use of your existing bone structure avoids the need for bone grafting in many cases and provides a stable, durable foundation for your new smile.
Why Choose All-Teeth-On-Four?
Unlike traditional dentures, All-Teeth-On-Four offers a permanent and secure solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Here are some key benefits:
- Enjoy your favourite foods: Bite into an apple, chew steak, or savour crunchy vegetables without worry.
- Speak and laugh confidently: No more concerns about dentures shifting or slipping out of place.
- Durable and long-lasting: With proper care, the implants can last a lifetime, offering a stable and reliable solution.
- Natural aesthetics: Custom-designed prosthetics ensure your new teeth look beautiful and blend seamlessly with your facial features.
What’s Involved in the Procedure?
The All-Teeth-On-Four process is carefully planned and executed for precision, comfort, and long-term success. Here’s what you can expect:
1.
Comprehensive Planning Using advanced 3D-guided imaging, we create a tailored treatment plan that ensures optimal implant placement.
2.
Preparation and Implant Placement On the day of surgery, failing teeth and infections are removed, and the implants are strategically placed into your jawbone. This is typically done under sedation to ensure your comfort.
3.
Temporary Bridge A temporary bridge is fitted shortly after surgery, allowing you to leave the practice with functional teeth while your implants heal.
4.
Healing and Osseointegration Over the next few months, the implants fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This provides the strength and stability needed for the final prosthetic
5.
Final Bridge Placement Once healing is complete, a custom-made, permanent bridge is fitted. Crafted from high-quality materials, this bridge is designed to replicate the look and function of natural teeth.
