All on Four Implant Turkey Prices Details and Advantages

What is All on Four Implant?

The All on 4 treatment concept promises edentulous patients fast, relatively inexpensive and uncomplicated treatment with dental implants and fixed dentures. Some dentists have been using the method successfully for years, but it is not standard care.

Until now, for a fixed dental bridge that has to replace all teeth, you need at least 8 dental implants in the upper jaw and at least 6 in the lower jaw. All on 4 only needs four implants per jaw. Since dental implants are very expensive, the All on 4 concept significantly reduces your costs for dentures .

Another advantage: Normally, a thin jawbone has to be built up in order to securely anchor dental implants and dentures in it. Since the All on 4 concept uses a special technique during implantation , you can even get implants if you only have a very thin or narrow jawbone. All on 4 promises you a secure supply even without bone grafting .

In addition, with the All on 4 treatment, you will have a temporary bridge fitted directly during the procedure, which you will wear while the dental implants are healing. As a result, you no longer have to wait a long time for your new fixed teeth.

In most cases you can have the entire procedure , from the extraction of the teeth that cannot be saved to the placement of the dental implants and the insertion of the first fixed dentures, carried out in one day.

How does the All on 4 treatment work?

Before surgery:

• To plan the dental implants and dentures , the dentist first takes a 3D X-ray of your jaw and takes an impression
• Based on these images and models, the exact position of the dental implants is determined with the help of special planning software
• The first fixed dentures for the patient are made

On the day of the surgery:

• First, existing teeth are extracted
• The dental implants are then placed using a specially made template
• The denture, i.e. the temporary bridge, is then screwed on
• Patients can then go straight home with their new fixed teeth

Advantages and disadvantages of the All on 4 method

The All on 4 concept sounds like a very tempting opportunity to get fixed dentures cheaply and easily. But can you trust the method?

Official recommendations in implantology have so far assumed that 8 dental implants are required in the upper jaw and 6 in the lower jaw in order to ensure a secure hold. So far it has also been said that immediate loading of the implants is not possible. But some implantology experts expect that the official recommendations will soon be adjusted and All on 4 will become the standard.

Others, on the other hand, advise against the concept due to little experience. There are concerns about being able to load the implants immediately after they have been inserted. They also point out that it is important to clean the bridge very thoroughly on a daily basis. Because treatment with implant-supported dentures and dental implants involves some risks . If oral hygiene is neglected, inflammation, a so-called peri-implantitis, and loss of the implants can quickly occur.

The advantages at a glance:

• No waiting for fixed restorations for your teeth
• Also suitable for patients with little bone substance
• Fewer dental implants, lower costs
• Entire treatment possible in one day - patients go home with new teeth

Possible disadvantages of the concept:

• No decades of experience with the treatment concept available
• Possibly problems due to early loading of the implants
• Requires a lot of discipline in brushing teeth and daily oral hygiene
• Relatively difficult to clean yourself
• Risk of inflammation on the implants can lead to loss of dentures
• Premature loss of dentures may result in higher costs than expected

All on 4 – is that something for me too?

All on 4 was developed to enable more patients to be treated with implants and rapid dentures for edentulous jaws . If you have previously shied away from implant treatment because of the high costs and too much effort, you can fall back on the All on 4 method.

The method could be suitable for you, for example, if you only have a small amount of bone left. A special method requires less bone substance. All on 4 promises to be just as safe and durable as conventional methods. Even if you have shied away from the high costs so far, All on 4 could be a solution for you. The reduced number of implants also means lower costs. Last but not least, All on 4 is also an option for you if you cannot or do not want to wait for your fixed dentures, as you can be provided with a fixed bridge straight away. In addition to all these advantages, it is important to consider whether you dare to clean them thoroughly every day, as this is a prerequisite for the longevity of the implants.

For which patients is the All on 4 treatment concept suitable?

The All on 4 treatment is particularly suitable for patients who

• Have little jawbone
• Looking for a cost-effective alternative in implantology
• Desire for a less complicated treatment
• Want to have their fixed dentures immediately
• Willing to practice very thorough oral hygiene

A fixed bridge is only suitable to a limited extent, especially for patients who have an increased risk of inflammation of the dental implants, i.e. peri-implantitis . In addition to bridges, there are also semi-fixed dentures such as implant-supported prostheses that you can remove and clean much more easily. Let an experienced dentist advise you on which dentures – whether dental implants or dentures – are the right ones for your teeth.

Conclusion: How useful is the All on 4 method?

All on 4 is a good option if you really want a bridge. Fewer implants and bypassing bone augmentation make the concept more cost-effective and less complex. Studies suggest good durability.

Nevertheless, the method is not suitable for everyone: A bridge requires meticulous oral hygiene, which not all patients can or want to comply with. A semi-fixed denture on implants can be a good solution in this case, as it is also comfortable to wear but much easier to clean.
