Looking for a more stable, comfortable way to replace missing or failing teeth than dentures? Then consider the All-on-4® treatment concept in Mexico, with our specialist providers able to produce natural-looking results for up to 70% less than you would pay back home.

Understand what this treatment entails and find reputable specialists across Mexico with Dental Departures. 

What Is the All-on-4® Treatment Concept?

To understand how this concept works, it’s important to know how dental implants work. An implant is essentially an artificial tooth root, normally made from titanium, which is surgically embedded into the jawbone with a dental prosthetic (such as a crown or bridge) fixed on top.

The All-on-4® treatment concept involves the placement of only four implants into each jaw, with the rear two placed at near-45-degree angles. An immediate loading denture is attached before being replaced with a permanent fixed bridge around six months later. 

The treatment was pioneered by Dr. Paulo Malo from Lisbon, Portugal and is now a common technique throughout the world. This treatment is great for edentulous (toothless) patients who lost their teeth due to gum disease, injury and other reasons, as well as those who have failing teeth. 

In order to maintain your teeth with implants, you need to keep up with your daily oral hygiene–brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash. 

What Are the Advantages of This Treatment?

The All-on-4® treatment concept provides many benefits, such as improving patients' quality of life, shortening treatment time, and saving money in the long run.

Patients are satisfied with this treatment (95%) because the treatment improves their speech, helps them in chewing their food easily, and allows them to smile confidently without worrying about their teeth.

It may also eliminate the need for bone graft surgery in patients who have suffered bone loss or deterioration.

How Will I Know If This Treatment Is Right for Me?

Your dentist in Mexico will determine if the treatment is best for you. A comprehensive examination will be taken to check your suitability for the treatment. This involves diagnostic tests like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and a review of your dental and medical status. 

Upon confirmation, a treatment plan is prepared after a discussion with you about the process.

What Is the Cost? How Much Can I Save?

Cost of the All-on-4® treatment concept  in Mexico is around USD $10,055 (CAD $13,088.00; AUD $13,418.00; NZD $14,123.00; UK £7,766; EUROS 8,000) compared to USD $26,000 (CAD $34,000; AUD $34,000; NZD $37,000; UK £22,000; EUROS 23,000)
