Can the All On 4 Treatment be Applied to Everyone?
It can be applied to any patient with good general health condition and – for cases requiring extraction - without infection in the extraction area.
If the patient has chronic diseases, dental implant operation must be carried out depending on the approval of the patient’s doctor
What are the Stages of the All On 4 Treatment?
X-rays and detailed examination of the patient will be carried out, and local anesthesia will be applied to the patient.
If extraction will be carried as the first stage, such extraction will be carried out, and at the same time, 4 implants will be placed at the locations as planned. Following this procedure, construction of the implant will be started as the 2nd stage. The fixed prostheses will be adapted to the patient in the same day. Fixed prosthesis can be constructed for this patient 3 months later.
Will there be Pain after All On 4 Operation?
Some pain and swelling can be seen like in every implant. However, these can be controlled if you take the drugs recommended by your dentist. Application of ice as recommended by your dentist after the operation will prevent swelling.
