Rimëkëmbja e shpejtë | Immediate loading allows for faster return to normal activities | Patients can receive temporary prosthetics on the same day as implant placement[5] |
Cost-Effectiveness | Fewer implants reduce overall time commitment and cost | Only four implants needed per arch, compared to traditional methods[3] |
Who is a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?
All-on-4 implants are a suitable option for individuals who have lost multiple teeth or are about to lose their remaining teeth.
This treatment is also suitable for those transitioning from natural teeth to dental implants.
The ideal candidate for All-on-4 implants is someone who:
Has sufficient bone density to support the implants
Is in good overall health
Has a strong desire for a permanent and fixed solution for their missing teeth
Is willing to undergo a surgical procedure
Has realistic expectations about the outcome of the treatment
Additionally, All-on-4 implants are a good option for individuals who:

Have a limited budget and are looking for a cost-effective solution
All-on-4 Single Arch Vs. Full Mouth: What’s the Difference?
Single Arch
Specific Needs: Single arch All-on-4 implants are for patients who have lost teeth in one jaw but still have healthy teeth in the other jaw (4).
Kostoja: Single arch is more cost-effective for patients who only need to replace one arch of teeth, so less overall cost (5).
Full Mouth
Full Solution: Full mouth All-on-4 implants is a full solution for patients who have lost all their teeth, a complete restoration of both upper and lower jaws (6).
Aesthetic: Full mouth rehabilitation means a harmonious and natural-looking smile, so you look better overall.
Comparison
Success Rates: Studies show both single arch and full mouth All-on-4 implants have high success rates; the 10-year survival rate is up to 94.8% for full mouth restorations (2).
Patient Satisfaction: Full mouth rehabilitation often means higher patient satisfaction because it addresses both functional and aesthetic needs.
All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants
All-on-4 implants differ from traditional dental implants in several ways, primarily by using only four dental implants per arch. Here are some key differences:
Numri i implanteve: All-on-4 implants require only four implants per arch, whereas traditional dental implants may require six or more implants.
Dendësia e kockave: All-on-4 implants can be placed in areas with lower bone density, making them a good option for individuals who have experienced bone loss.
Procedure Time: The All-on-4 procedure can be completed in a single day, whereas traditional dental implants may require multiple appointments and a longer healing time.
Kostoja: All-on-4 implants are often more cost-effective than traditional dental implants, especially for individuals who need to replace a full arch of teeth.
How Full Mouth All-on-4 Implants Work: Dental Implant Surgery?
Implant Placement
Strategic Placement: Full mouth All-on-4 implants involves placing 4 implants in the jawbone, 2 in the anterior and 2 in the posterior, tilted at an angle to maximize bone contact and stability (3).
The All-on-4 technique often eliminates the need for a bone graft, making it a more advanced and efficient option for patients.
Bone Density: The placement of the implants takes into account the bone density of the patient, so the implants are placed in areas with sufficient bone support for long-term success.
Prosthetic Replacement Teeth
Customized Prosthetics: The prosthetic for full mouth All-on-4 implants is customized for each patient’s needs, so a natural-looking and functional smile (4).
Materiali: The choice of prosthetic material, titanium or zirconia, is based on durability, aesthetics and patient comfort.
Immediate Loading
Immediate Function: Immediate loading means patients can get their temporary prosthetics the same day as the implant placement, so immediate function and aesthetics (5).
Healing: The healing is monitored closely to ensure the implants integrate properly with the bone, so a stable and long-term solution.
Initial Consultation and Examination
The initial consultation and examination are crucial steps in determining whether All-on-4 implants are right for you. During this appointment, your dentist will:
Examine your teeth, gums, and bone density to determine if you are a good candidate for All-on-4 implants
Discuss your treatment options and answer any questions you may have
Take impressions and X-rays to create a personalized treatment plan
Discuss the cost and financing options for the procedure
