All teeth on 4 implants: the cost of the intervention and the features of planning the operation
The next stage after the initial consultation is detailed treatment planning. It is important to minimize risks and ensure an optimal result. Necessary examinations at the Ali Dental clinic:
- X-ray, computed tomography. Thanks to a three-dimensional image of the jaw, the doctor accurately assesses the volume and quality of bone tissue, determines the optimal location of the implants, taking into account anatomical features, proximity to important nerves and vessels.
- Digital modeling. Using special software, the specialist can simulate how all teeth will be placed on 4 implants. The cost of the upcoming operation depends on the complexity of the clinical case.
- Choosing implants. The specialist chooses the type of artificial root, materials for the manufacture of the future prosthesis.
In order for the All-on-4 intervention (the price can be found at the Ali Dental clinic) to be successful, you need to make sure that there are no inflammatory processes in the oral cavity. General blood and urine tests will help assess your health and identify possible hidden infections. A blood clotting test is also necessary.
Before the operation, thorough professional hygiene is performed, the teeth are cleaned of plaque and tartar. A clean, healthy environment is critically important for successful implantation.
Surgical stage of All-on-4 dental implantation
The operation is performed using local anesthesia or, at the patient's request, sedation. The Ali's Premium Dental Care surgeon makes small incisions in the gums and installs four titanium rods in the bone tissue. Two artificial roots are installed vertically in the frontal area, and two at an angle in the lateral areas. Special abutments are installed, which are an adapter between the implant and the prosthesis. The incisions in the gums are sutured. A temporary prosthesis is made for All-on-4 dental implantation (usually within 24-48 hours after the operation). This allows the patient to immediately restore chewing function and aesthetics.
During the period of implant implantation, it is necessary to adhere to a soft diet, avoid excessive load on the jaw. During the period of osseointegration, it is necessary to regularly visit the Ali Dental clinic to monitor healing. After 3-6 months, the doctor assesses the stability of the artificial roots, a permanent prosthesis is made of stronger and more aesthetic materials (ceramics, zirconium dioxide). The bite is corrected to properly distribute the load on the structure.
After the 4 all on procedure, the doctor provides recommendations on oral hygiene. Periodically visit the dentist for professional teeth cleaning and monitoring of the condition of the prosthesis. Remember that smoking negatively affects the process of titanium rods' implantation.
