What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All on 4 implant treatment is a minimally invasive procedure for the edentulous or for those who have lost multiple teeth and are looking for a permanent solution and stability. It involves placement of titanium tooth roots into the patient’s jawbone. It allows complete oral rehabilitation by placing only 4 implants in each dental arch. Contact us for a free quote now.

Traditional Implants vs. All on 4
The traditional multi-stage process requires bone grafting, healing of the bone graft, placement of the implants and then bridges. For a successful bone graft procedure, a small surgery is performed to collect enough bone for the jaw. The extra bone is taken from the hip bone.
| Average Treatment Time | Multiple Surgeries | Bone Graft |
| 18 months | Yes | Yes |
The All on 4 implants makes use of the patient’s remaining jawbone in such a manner that bone grafting is avoided.
| Removal of decayed teeth (if any) & placement of implants | Multiple Surgeries | Bone Graft |
| 2-3 days | No | No |
Procedure
At ADC, oral surgeons will device a suitable dental plan and may ask you to bring along the following:
- Dental X-rays, models of teeth and mouth
- Panoramic X-rays
Stage 1
- Small holes are drilled in the jawbone.
- Titanium screws are inserted in the holes.
- Over a few periods of months, osseointegration takes place. The process of osseointegration involves fusing of the dental implant to the jawbone to form a strong anchor.
Stage 2
- In this stage the implant is uncovered and artificial teeth are attached to the implant.
- Small metal posts called abutments are placed atop the titanium screws to connect the artificial teeth.
The All on 4 Implant Concept
The All on 4 implant system utilizes Nobel Speedy Implants which give good stability in a minimally invasive procedure. The implants in the posterior region are angled at 45 degrees to avoid interfering with the sinus cavity.
The All on four implants are attached with abutments after the integration of the implants with the jawbone. Temporary dentures are then fixed till the time you heal completely giving you a refurbished smile immediately.
It is a minimally invasive procedure as only four implants are used. Treatment time involved in all on 4 implants is less than time involved in traditional implants.

Caring for Implants
AAID says “brush, floss and maintain regular dental cleanings and check-ups, as scheduled. Additional cleaning aids also may be recommended to help you keep your teeth healthy at home.”
| On the day of the surgery | Avoid rinsing, spitting, or touching the wound |
Swelling
To minimize swelling, apply an ice bag on the cheek in the area of surgery. You can continue applying ice packs for the first 36 hours. When sleeping, keep your head slightly elevated to ease off swelling.
Bleeding
Some bleeding or redness in the saliva is normal for 24 hours. Excessive bleeding can be controlled by biting on a gauze pad placed directly on the bleeding wound for 30 minutes.
Antibiotics
To prevent infection, be sure to take the prescribed antibiotics as directed.
Pain
As soon as local anesthesia wears off, begin taking pain medication.
Diet
Drink plenty of fluids and avoid very hot liquids. Hot spicy foods should also be avoided to prevent pain.
Activity
Physical activities should be kept to a minimum immediately after the surgery.
Oral Hygiene
Warm salt water rinses should be done at least 4-5 times a day, especially after meals. Be gentle initially with brushing the surgical areas. Brushing technique may need modification for hard-to-reach areas. Tufted and interdental brushes may be used to clean the sides of the implants.
Floss
Use implant specific floss to prevent bacteria built-up around the implants.
Diet after Surgery
After surgery, liquids should be taken primarily. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid carbonated beverages or very hot foods or drinks. Liquid, non-chewing diet is recommended for the first few weeks after surgery to allow the gum tissue to heal.
Fruits can be blended to a puree. Patients, who maintain a good diet more often than not feel better, have less discomfort and heal faster. Avoid foods that may cause pain to the gums, such as chips and nuts. You can gradually progress to solid foods in the coming weeks.
