How All-on-4 Works:

1. Strategic Placement of Implants:

Four dental implants are placed in the jawbone.

Two implants are positioned vertically at the front of the arch, while the other two are angled at the back to maximise contact with the jawbone and avoid areas of low bone density.

2. Immediate Restoration:

A temporary bridge or denture is fixed onto the implants on the same day, giving you a fully functional smile immediately.

3. Healing and Integration

Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for your permanent prosthesis.

4. Final Prosthesis

Once the healing is complete, the temporary bridge is replaced with a custom-made, durable permanent bridge for a natural, long-lasting smile.

Dental Implants Explained

Are dental implants safe?

Dental implants are perfectly safe and offer many advantages over other methods of replacing missing teeth such as dentures. Dental implants have been in use for many years. Implants can also enhance existing procedures which are currently used to replace one or two missing or damaged teeth. However, it is important to use a properly skilled orthodontist to do the work and not every dentist is trained in how to correctly fit implants.
Successful implants require careful assessment of the patients’ jaw and exiting teeth using X-rays and CT scans and a targeted plan which minimises any risk and works to a successful outcome and a beautiful smile.

Are dental implants painful?

Dental implants are placed into the jaw bone under a local anaesthetic much as if you were having a filling. There may be a feeling of pressure from time to time but the whole area will be numb and pain-free during the procedure. After the process, the jaw may ache for a couple of days whilst the implant settles down but this is easily remedied with an oral over the counter painkiller like Paracetamol or Ibuprofen.

Can dental implants be removed?

The concept of a dental implant is that it is very much a fixed and permanent feature which is why they are so attractive in comparison to dentures and relatively maintenance-free.
An implant is usually only removed if it has failed. Implant failures are divided into two categories – early failure and late failure.
An early failure happens within the first few months and can be caused by an infection, an unsuccessful integration period – known as osseointegration – or just too much movement during the healing process. The implant won’t have fused properly to the jawbone so it can be removed by a specialist.
A late implant failure is any time after the first year following the procedure and again this failure can be brought about by infection or just a loosening of the implant over time.

Are dental implants maintenance free?

Some care has to be taken once dental implants have been fitted but most dentists recommend that you are scrupulous about oral hygiene and that if you are a smoker, you quit. This is beneficial for all your teeth, not just dental implants.
The main threat is gum disease which is a potential problem for those who don’t clean their teeth regularly, smokers and for those who already have gum disease which is a why healthy gums are often a pre-requisite to having implants fitted.

If an infection develops around a dental implant then the jaw bone around the implant can become affected and start to deteriorate. This in turn will affect the structural stability of the implant. This is called peri-implantitis and is a specific disease that causes an inflammatory process in the soft tissues around the implant and subsequent bone loss which will ultimately undermine the integrity of the implant.

Looking after implants is no different to how you should look after your own teeth – good oral hygiene, flossing, teeth cleaning twice a day and regular check-ups with your dentist.
