All on 4

All on 4 is an alternative solution for patients who are missing all their teeth in one or both jaws.

The All on 4 concept was developed by Nobel Biocare. All the missing teeth are replaced by a fixed bridge on four implants. Two of the implants are tilted and in many cases the need for bone grafting is reduced. In many cases a temporary bridge can be fitted on the same day as the implants. A permanent bridge is made after a period of healing. The technique has been used for over a decade.

The All on 4 Procedure

1. Initial Consultation and Planning

At an initial consultation we assess your suitability for the All on 4 technique. Subsequent to this we can arrange a CT scan and produce the necessary templates to construct the initial temporary bridge.

2. Placement of implants

The four implants are placed in the pre planned positions.

3. Fit of temporary bridge

Provided the stability of the implants is good the temporary bridge will be fitted on the same day.

4. Final bridge

After a period of healing the temporary bridge is replaced with a final bridge.
