All-on-4 is a dental implant treatment that can be used to replace an entire arch of teeth for patients with full dentures or terminal dentition. It is designed to replace all missing teeth in either the upper or lower jaw (or both) using four dental implants to support a fixed prosthesis. This technique offers a way to restore function and aesthetics in patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth and are seeking a long-term fixed solution.
Once the implants are placed, a full arch prosthesis, often referred to as a fixed bridge, is attached to the implants. This prosthesis is designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Unlike traditional removable dentures, the All-on-4 prosthesis is fixed in place and cannot be removed by the patient. It restores the ability to chew, speak, and smile with improved stability and without the need to cover the roof of the mouth or tissues like a traditional denture would.
Before undergoing the All-on-4 implant procedure, patients will have a comprehensive assessment to determine their suitability. This includes evaluating the quality and quantity of bone in the jaw, overall oral health, and any underlying medical conditions that could affect healing or implant success. Imaging techniques such as 3D scans and X-rays help guide the placement of implants for optimal support and function.
Patients with All-on-4 dental implants need to follow a maintenance routine similar to natural teeth, including regular brushing, flossing, cleaning under the prostheses and dental check-ups. Good oral hygiene helps prevent gum disease and ensures the longevity of both the implants and the prosthesis.
This treatment is suitable for adults who have experienced significant tooth loss, gum disease or decay in one or both arches and who are looking for a fixed replacement option. It may also be considered when conventional dentures are unsuitable or not preferred.
The All-on-4 system is a well-established method used worldwide, providing a functional and aesthetic solution for full-arch tooth replacement through a minimally invasive implant approach.
Full-mouth restoration, also referred to as a smile makeover, is a comprehensive treatment approach designed to restore the health, function, and appearance of the entire mouth. This type of treatment is ideal for patients with extensive dental issues such as multiple missing teeth, severe tooth wear, bite misalignment, chronic jaw discomfort, or a combination of aesthetic and functional concerns. It combines both restorative and cosmetic dental procedures to rebuild all the teeth in the upper and lower jaws.
Patients who benefit from full-mouth rehabilitation often present with issues stemming from long-term decay, gum disease, trauma, teeth grinding (bruxism), or congenital conditions. The goal is to address all of these concerns in a structured, step-by-step plan that restores not only the ability to chew and speak comfortably, but also the confidence to smile freely.
A smile makeover typically includes a combination of treatments tailored to the individual's needs. These may include crowns and bridges to restore damaged or missing teeth, porcelain veneers to improve the appearance of the front teeth, dental implants to permanently replace missing teeth, gum treatments for periodontal health, and in some cases, orthodontic work to correct bite alignment. Each element of the treatment is carefully planned to work in harmony with the others, both functionally and aesthetically.
The process begins with a comprehensive assessment, including full-mouth imaging, digital scans, X-rays, and bite analysis. Photographs and impressions may also be taken. The dentist will evaluate the condition of the teeth, gums, jaw joints, and bite to create a detailed and personalised treatment plan. Aesthetic considerations such as tooth colour, shape, and facial balance are also factored into the planning process.
Depending on the complexity of the case, the rehabilitation may be completed over several stages or appointments. Temporary restorations are often used during this process to ensure the patient remains comfortable and functional throughout the treatment timeline.
Once complete, the results of a full-mouth rehabilitation can be transformative. Both in terms of oral function and facial aesthetics.
To maintain results, patients are advised to follow a good oral hygiene routine, attend regular dental check-ups, and wear a night guard if grinding or clenching is an issue. With proper care, the outcomes of a full-mouth rehabilitation can last for many years.
Full-mouth rehabilitation is a highly customised, multidisciplinary treatment that offers a long-term solution for patients with complex dental concerns. It provides not just a new smile, but a renewed quality of life.
