All On 4 Brisbane

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your dental needs and desires. Our team will carefully explain the All-on-4 treatment, and how it is different than traditional dentures or multiple separate implants. We’ll review your complete medical and dental history, discuss concerns you may have, and answer any questions you may have about the procedure, pricing, the expected time frame for treatment, and your aftercare. This consultation will also include a review of your expectations to achieve function, aesthetics, and comfort to be sure we have all aligned with a customized treatment plan to get you the best results possible. Patient education and comfort are a top priority, so you feel informed every step of the way.

Next, a comprehensive diagnostic phase utilizes advanced imaging modalities such as 3D Cone Beam CT scans that will assess the density and architecture of your jawbone. The highly accurate imaging allows for digital treatment planning and provides the guidance of optimal implant positioning, which will minimize surgical complications and have maximum stability of the prosthetic. This digital plan takes into account the nearby anatomy, such as nerves and the sinuses, to prevent complications. At times a preliminary treatment is required for implants to be successful in the future, such as tooth extractions or grafting. The next part of the process is locating the correct predetermined angles of one’s implants and the depths of which should be executed at implantation using software-guided surgical guides. This will help ensure implant success and function at their delivery.

On the day of surgery, the implants will be placed under sedation or anesthesia for a pain-free surgical experience. Most often, two implants will be placed vertically in the front of the jaw, and two implants will be placed angled posteriorly in order to use as much bone as possible to maximize stability without requiring additional grafting. If teeth are remaining at this stage, we will extract them. A temporary prosthesis will be affixed to allow immediate function. You will be able to eat and talk with confidence immediately after surgery. Following surgery the healing phase will take place. Healing is the point at which osseointegration occurs, when bone heals and fuses to the implants. Osseointegration usually takes about 4-6 months. Osseointegration is important to provide a strong base to support your permanent teeth. During the healing period, you will return for follow-up appointments to monitor progress and make adjustments for comfort to the temporary teeth.

Following your surgery, we’ll provide you with specific aftercare instructions about how to minimize swelling and discomfort, and promote good oral hygiene. We’ll recommend a soft diet throughout the day, along with gentle cleaning to protect the site’s healing tissues. Follow-up appointments will determine if the implant has integrated into the bone and if any complications are present. Take comfort in knowing that common side effects, like bruising and swelling, will settle in a couple of weeks. To accomplish the best healing with the best long-term outcome for your implant, it is essential to maintain excellent oral hygiene and avoid smoking during your recovery. We will be here to support you through the recovery process to ensure a successful and smooth overall healing process.

After the implants have healed and stabilized, the temporary bridge is replaced with a custom-designed, permanent prosthesis. The final bridge is designed for the best aesthetics, function, and comfort using a variety of materials including acrylic, titanium, ceramic, or zirconia. The prosthodontist makes sure the bite is balanced, chewing and speaking is efficient, and the fit between the prosthesis and gums provides a natural appearance and feel. This restoration is durable and provides the benefit of smiling with confidence and full function of the mouth for many years with proper care.

Continuing to care for your implants and prostheses is vital for their longevity and expect the necessity of regular appointments. Regular dental check-ups will include a professional cleaning and assessment of implant health, bone levels, and the condition of the restoration. Home care advice for each patient will be individualized, including brushing and flossing and limiting habits that can cause damage, such as grinding or chewing hard foods. Basic maintenance can help reduce the likelihood of peri-implant disease and maintain the health and appearance of your All-on-4 restoration for years of functioning and smiling as planned.
