What is All-on-4 prosthetics?

The All-on-4 prosthetics method is an innovative approach to restoring a full set of teeth using just four implants. This approach significantly simplifies the surgical procedure, speeds up the treatment process, and reduces the rehabilitation period. The method was first introduced by Dr. Paulo Malo in 1998 and has since been successfully used to treat thousands of patients.
During the procedure, four implants are placed into the jawbone at a specific angle and distance. After the implants are inserted, a fixed bridge-shaped dental prosthesis is attached, which is horseshoe-shaped. Typically, 10 artificial teeth are placed on such a prosthesis, which is sufficient for an aesthetically pleasing smile. However, for full chewing function, this may not be enough. Depending on the patient's condition and the available space in the jaw, the number of teeth on the prosthesis can be increased to 12 or even 14.
The All-on-4 prosthetics technique involves using the minimum number of implants to support a fixed bridge, making it less invasive compared to traditional full-arch implant methods that may require up to 14 implants or crowns.
The first step is always to consult with an experienced dentist. Only a specialist can assess whether this method is suitable for your case and offer alternative options if necessary. Implantation is not a simple procedure, and to make an informed decision, the dentist will conduct diagnostics to determine the feasibility of implant placement and calculate the cost of treatment.Sign in with your Facebook account or email.
