All-on-4 is NobelBiocare's patented name for jaw reconstruction on 4 specially placed implants. It became widely known and spread all over the world. Many of us have had difficult periods when we could not afford good dentistry and lost teeth, as a result, we can easily lose all teeth, which is not always the case in older people. Under adverse living conditions, you may encounter tooth loss even at an early age. The all-on-4 technique radically solves them.
The name has the number 4, which means the number of implants for fixing the prosthesis. Our experience shows that 4 implants are sufficient only for the lower jaw, and for the upper jaw, if the bone condition allows, we try to implant 6 implants in patients. In fact, the condition of the bone for implant placement varies greatly. At the top we have the maxillary sinuses and often the surgeon works with bones only 3-5 mm thick, and in terms of density the bone of the upper jaw is often softer and more porous. When we need a reliable design with minimal risk, these factors must be taken into account. Therefore, 4 implants are sometimes not enough for reliable fixation, and we go to a meeting and install 6 implants.
When planning a total rehabilitation, we are looking for the most reliable solutions that will serve the patient for a lifetime. Call our clinic and find out about rehabilitation options, we will take care of you.
