Facts about All on Four

Definition:Implant-supported teeth in one day
Durability:long

Healing time:about 3-6 months
Costs:depending on the selected teeth, biomaterials, implants and required treatment between CHF 15`- 20`000 / jaw

With a toothless jaw or very few remaining damaged teeth, it used to be a long road to fixed, permanent teeth. Patients had to live with a removable temporary denture for many months. However, the All on 4 method offers us completely new possibilities for providing fixed new teeth in one day.

The All on Four concept requires only 4 stable Dental implants per jaw. In comparison, formerly 6 implants were previously used in the Lower Jaw and 8 in the Upper Jaw in order to insert fixed teeth. Depending on bone quality and planning, Dental implants can be loaded immediately, so we can provide our patients with a temporary but fixed teeth straight away in the same session. They receive fixed teeth in one day and can leave our practice in Zurich with a complete set of esthetic and functional teeth.

Frequently asked questions about All on 4

Who are Dental implants suitable for?

Dental implants are suitable for almost every patient. At our dental practice in Zahnärzte am Löwenplatz in Zurich, we use dental implants to replace both single tooth gaps and larger gaps or toothless jaws. If several teeth are missing, for example, one great option is an implant ceramic Bridge, which is attached to two or more Implants.

When can the All on Four method be used?

The All on 4 concept is suitable for situations in which none or only very few Teeth are left. Even if the remaining teeth are in a poor condition and cannot be preserved, it is possible to restore an esthetic and functional set of beautiful teeth using the All on 4 method.

In contrast to classic implant treatment, this form of treatment is also suitable for patients with little bone substance. However, a certain minimum bone quantity is required in the area of the front teeth.

What are the advantages of the All on 4 concept?

With the All on Four method, we can produce fixed and esthetically pleasing dentures in one day. The finished dentures are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth in terms of appearance and function.

The All on 4 method requires fewer dental implants than a classic implant treatment. As a result, the costs are also lower. According to current knowledge, All on 4-implant solutions are just as resilient as conventional implants.

Bone augmentation to a certain small amount is often necessary. Implants are inserted into the bone at an angle using a special technique giving the implants a high stability. If the bone situation is optimal, the temporary new teeth can be loaded directly from day 1. After a time of 3-6 months the temporay fixed teeth can be changed into beautiful ceramic new teeth.

How long does the treatment with All on Four take?

The actual operation in our practice at Zahnärzte am Löwenplatz takes about 2-3 hours. This is followed by a healing phase of around 3 - 6 months, during which you will wear screw-retained temporary teeth. Once the healing phase is complete, the final ceramic teeth are fitted and screwed onto the Dental implants. This is the last treatment steps of your All on 4 treatment with Zahnärzte am Löwenplatz, Zurich.

Does the treatment involve any risks?

Every surgical procedure is always associated with certain risks. For example, swelling, pain and, in individual rare cases, infections can occur after the operation. With the All on Four method and long experience of our specialized Doctors, however, we can minimize the risks, as the treatment is shorter and involves less effort than other methods.

When can the dental implant be fully loaded after insertion?

Dental implants take on average around 3 - 6 months to heal. The implants can then be fully loaded with your permanent, ceramic teeth individually manufactured by our specialized Zurich dental technicians. If the bone situation is strong enough and in most cases we can achieve this, you will be fitted with a fixed temporary teeth immediately for the duration of the healing process (3-6 months), which can be loaded immediately.

When can I return to sport after implant placement?

You should refrain from sport and other physical activity for a few days after the Dental implants have been inserted.

How are Dental implants cleaned?

Dental implants are cleaned in the same way as natural teeth. You should thoroughly clean the implants daily with your tooth brush and interdental brushes and ensure motivated dental hygiene, including the spaces between the teeth. This is particularly important after the operation to prevent inflammation. 

How long do Dental implants last?

With careful care, Dental implants can last a lifetime. All on 4 treatment results show a comparable lifespan to conventional implants.

Before the treatment


Before every treatment, we invite our patients to a detailed consultation at our dental practice at Zahnärzte am Löwenplatz, Zurich. One of our dentists will discuss your current situation and the possible treatment options with you. On the basis of an initial examination, a decision is then made as to whether the All on Four method is suitable for you.

Procedure


During a 2-3 hour operation, the Dental implants are inserted and any remaining teeth are removed. We then anchor a temporary Bridge to the implants. The temporary teeth can be loaded immediately, considering your bone quality allows this. Tooth can therefore be fully loaded in one day.

After implantation, the dental implants need around 3 - 6 months to heal completely in the Jawbone. As soon as healing is complete, we take an impression of your jaw and use it to make custom-fit beautiful ceramic teeth. If necessary, the dentist will make minor adjustments and the All on 4 treatment at Zahnärzte am Löwenplatz, Zurich is complete.

After the treatment


After the All on Four treatment, you can load your Dental implants as you would your natural teeth too. In the initial period, your new implant teeth may still feel a little unfamiliar. However, many patients get used to the temporary restoration quickly during the transition period, so that the final, permanent ceramic teeth will not take any time to get used to. If any discomfort does occur, we are happy to arrange an appointment in our clinic in Zurich at short notice.

The fit of your new implantat teeth and your oral health in general is checked regularly by the treating dentist. We recommend about 2 check-ups per year and most important 3-4 sessions with the dental hygienist for a successful prevention.
