What Is the All-on-4 Implant Technique?

The All-on-4 implant technique is a full-arch dental restoration method designed for patients who:

• Have no teeth (completely edentulous)

• Have very few remaining teeth that require extraction

• Experience advanced bone loss in posterior areas

• Want fixed teeth instead of removable dentures

In this technique:

• Two implants are placed vertically in the anterior (front) region

• Two implants are placed at an angle in the posterior (back) region

The angled placement of the posterior implants allows us to:

• Avoid sinus cavities in the upper jaw

• Avoid the inferior alveolar nerve in the lower jaw

• Maximize the use of existing bone

• Often eliminate the need for bone grafting

At TokayDent, digital implant planning ensures millimetric precision and predictable outcomes.

Why Are Posterior Implants Placed at an Angle?

In many patients with long-term tooth loss, bone resorption (bone loss) occurs, particularly in the posterior maxilla and mandible.

In the Upper Jaw:

• The sinus cavity expands downward.

• Bone height decreases.

• Traditional implants may require sinus lifting and bone grafting.

In the Lower Jaw:

• The inferior alveolar nerve becomes closer to the bone crest.

• Standard implant placement becomes risky.

By placing the posterior implants at an angle:

• We bypass sinus cavities.

• We avoid nerve structures.

• We achieve strong anchorage in denser anterior bone.

• We eliminate the need for complex grafting procedures in most cases.

This makes All-on-4 a less invasive and faster solution.

Same-Day Temporary Fixed Teeth

One of the greatest advantages of All-on-4 treatment at TokayDent is the ability to provide a fixed temporary prosthesis on the day of surgery.

This means:

• Patients leave the clinic with fixed teeth.

• No removable dentures are required during healing.

• Aesthetic and functional rehabilitation is immediate.

• Patients can smile and speak confidently right away.

The temporary bridge remains in place during the 3-month osseointegration period (implant and bone fusion).

Who Is a Suitable Candidate for All-on-4?

The All-on-4 technique is suitable for:

• Fully edentulous patients

• Patients with failing teeth

• Individuals with severe periodontal disease

• Denture wearers seeking fixed teeth

• Patients with moderate posterior bone loss

• Patients who want to avoid bone grafting

However, eligibility depends on:

• Bone quality and density

• General health condition

• Smoking habits

• Systemic diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, osteoporosis)

At TokayDent, each patient undergoes a detailed online consultation followed by 3D CBCT analysis before treatment planning.

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation. Most patients report minimal discomfort afterward.

2. How long do All-on-4 implants last?

With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, All-on-4 implants can last 20 years or more.

3. Can smokers receive All-on-4 implants?

Yes, but smoking increases implant failure risk. We strongly advise reducing or quitting.
