How “All On Four” is done?
Making 32 dental implants to a patient who lost all of their teeth is a challenging process. After years of development for this treatment, it is finally ready for humanity. Instead of fixing all implants one by one, the palate is fixed by 4 dental screws. That means the dentist can fix all 32 implants with just 8 dental screws.
In order to apply All On Four treatment, the jawbones must have big and wide enough. If there is a weak bone tissue on the patient caused by osteolysis, bone and tissue creating process must be applied first. During this process, the openings on the bone will be filled with dental bone powder. After that, the natural healing on the jawbone must have waited. This process takes between 4 months to 1 year according to the patient’s situation.
The All on Four treatment can be applied to patients of all ages who completed their bone development. Before the treatment, the dentist must be informed about possible chronic diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure.

The treatment has a high chance of success and it also prevents your jawbone to perish. After the total loss of teeth, the deformation of the jawbone is expected. The healing process is painless and won’t take a long time. The dental implant process takes only 1 day.
After the treatment, the patients start to talk and eat like they used to. The deformations caused by missing teeth will be eliminated. The dental implants have no difference from natural teeth, they are fixed and they have a proper aesthetic appearance as it should be. The total cost of the treatment is lesser than having 32 single dental implants.
After the treatment, patients must apply all advise and use the medicine given by the dentist. The temporary prosthesis will be used in the first 3 months so patients must be extremely cautious while eating and consuming hard-shelled food.
