All-on-4 dental prosthetics: fast and reliable smile restoration
All-on-4 is an advanced dental technology for the rapid restoration of the entire lower jaw in cases of complete or partial tooth loss (edentulism).
It is a very economical and at the same time reliable way to significantly improve the quality of life of patients with edentulism.
It should not be forgotten that edentulism is not only an aesthetic problem. It worsens the quality of life and negatively affects overall health:
- makes it impossible to chew food;
- negatively affects digestion;
- impairs diction;
- leads to atrophy of the jawbone tissue;
- causes chronic diseases of the mandibular joint
In the past, removable dentures or classic implantation with 8–12 implants were used to completely restore the dentition on the lower jaw, which required a lot of time and money. In modern dentistry, there is a more effective solution—All-on-4.
This technique allows the restoration of the dentition on the lower jaw with only four implants, on which a fixed or conditionally removable denture is fixed. This makes it possible to avoid complex surgical interventions, such as bone grafting, and get a new dentition in just 1–2 days.
All-on-4 is relevant not only for patients with complete or partial edentulism of the lower jaw, but also for those who want to get rid of uncomfortable removable dentures.
The doctors at Club 32, a family dental clinic in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, have extensive experience in restoring teeth for patients of all ages using this technology. Our clinic has all the necessary equipment to perform this procedure.
Features of All-on-4 dental implant technology
The All-on-4 dental implant technology was developed by Portuguese surgeon Paulo Malo in collaboration with Nobel Biocare and has gained well-deserved popularity around the world.
The main principle of the technique is the use of only four implants, two of which are placed vertically in the front of the jaw, and two lateral implants are placed at an angle of 30-45°.
The main advantages of the method are:
- ️ Minimal surgical intervention – only 4 implants need to be placed
- ️ No bone grafting – the method is suitable even for bone atrophy
- ️ Fast recovery – the patient receives a dental prosthesis on 4 implants in 1–2 days
- ️ High aesthetics – a prosthesis fixed on 4 implants looks natural
- ️ Comfort – there is no need to remove and clean the prosthesis, as is the case with removable structures
- ️ Relatively low cost of treatment – the patient has the opportunity to replace an outdated removable prosthesis with a new non-removable one on just 4 implants
Indications for dental implantation on 4 implants
All-on-4 dental implants are indicated in the following cases:
- Significant number of missing teeth in the lower jaw or complete edentulism
- Need to replace removable dentures
- Severe bone atrophy, which excludes the possibility of classic implantation
- Refusal of bone grafting
- Desire to get a new set of teeth as soon as possible
To determine whether All-on-4 dental prosthetics are right for you, make an appointment for a consultation.
Our experienced implantologists will conduct a diagnosis and offer the optimal treatment.
Stages of dental prosthetics on 4 implants
Stage 1: Consultation and diagnosis
Stage 2: Implant placement
Stage 3: Fixation of a temporary (adaptive) prosthesis
Stage 4: Osseointegration
Stage 5: Installation of a permanent prosthesis
Thanks to the All-on-4 dental implant method, patients are not left without teeth even during the implant healing period.
Types of prostheses for installation using All-on-4 technology
Temporary prosthesis options
Frameless prosthesis:
Lightweight, affordable, but less durable
A frameless temporary prosthesis is soft and lightweight, but it distributes chewing pressure less effectively, which can lead to loosening of the implants.
Features:
- The most budget-friendly option
- Suitable for patients who want to save money during the temporary prosthesis stage
- Requires careful handling until the implants are fully integrated
- Average service life of 6-12 months
Adaptive prosthesis with a frame:
More durable, average service life up to 3 years
This prosthesis has a reinforced base, which makes it more reliable and durable.
Frame materials:
- Titanium beam – manufactured using high-precision equipment, ensures a perfect fit and high strength
- Metal beam – a more affordable option, but the low quality of the alloy may cause allergies or an unpleasant taste in the mouth
Temporary acrylic denture:
Optimal price-quality ratio
Acrylic is one of the most popular materials for temporary dentures, but it can cause allergic reactions in some patients.
Features:
- Lightweight, affordable
- Modern technologies minimize the risk of allergies
- Requires careful maintenance
- Average service life of 3-5 years
Temporary plastic dentures:
The most budget-friendly option, but with low wear resistance
Disadvantages of plastic:
- Quickly loses its aesthetic appearance
- Easily scratched, causing plaque to accumulate
- Needs to be replaced every 2-3 years
Crowns for temporary prostheses
Plastic crowns:
They are economical, but wear out quickly
Important: replace before complete wear to avoid disrupting your bite.
Ceramic composite crowns:
- Durable and aesthetic, look like natural teeth
- Average service life of 3-5 years
- Easy to clean, but more expensive than plastic
All-on-4 permanent prosthesis
After the implants have healed, the temporary prosthesis is replaced with a permanent one:
- Prosthesis with a reinforcing bar (titanium or metal) – more durable and long-lasting
- Can be made of acrylic, ceramic composite, or zirconium dioxide:
- Service life – 10-15 years or more
Advantages of installing an "All on 4" prosthesis
The method of implanting teeth on 4 implants has many advantages:
- Speed – new teeth in 1–2 days
- Reliability – a fixed prosthesis lasts 20+ years
- Safety – minimal tissue trauma
- Affordability – lower cost than traditional implants
- Aesthetics – teeth look natural
- Comfort – no discomfort, unlike with removable dentures
Price of All-on-4 prosthesis
The cost of All-on-4 dental implants depends on several factors:
- Type of implants (Nobel, Straumann, Osstem, etc.)
- Type of temporary and permanent dentures
- Need to remove remaining teeth
- Additional procedures (gum treatment, sinus lift)
