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

The All-on-4® treatment concept is an implant-based dental restoration technique; as the name suggests, four implants are used to replace a complete arch of teeth (either upper or lower jaw) with a fixed bridge.

Implants are replacement tooth roots that are placed into the jaw bone to hold a denture, crown or bridge. It normally consists of three main components: an implant, abutment and crown (whereas the All-on-4® treatment concept uses a custom-made bridge holding an entire row of crowns). 

The dental implants used as part of this technique are longer than traditional implants, with the rear two placed at 45-degree angles. This improves stability and can negate the need for bone graft surgery for patients who have suffered bone loss.

How Will I Know If I’m a Good Candidate for this Implant Treatment?

Upon arrival, the specialist will confirm whether the treatment is right for you by carrying out a number of diagnostic tests. A person with strong bones and healthy gums is a good candidate for implants.

Your chosen dentist will discuss the requirements and treatment process, creating a personalised treatment plan for you based on your needs and preferences. Feel free to discuss your goals and ask questions.

Note: Before flying all the way to Thailand, it is a good idea to have your digital x-rays taken and emailed over, allowing your chosen dentist to make a provisional assessment as to whether you are a suitable candidate for treatment. Our representatives can help facilitate communication between you and the dentist.
