All-on-4 Implants: Complete Guide to Revolutionary Dental Treatment at Laviva Clinics in Turkey

Are you tired of hiding your smile due to missing teeth? Do traditional dentures constantly slip and cause discomfort? All-on-4 dental implants offer a groundbreaking solution that can transform both your smile and quality of life in a single day. At Laviva Clinics in Turkey, we specialize in this innovative treatment, providing world-class care at a fraction of the cost you would pay in Western countries.

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 is a revolutionary dental implant technique that allows an entire arch of teeth to be replaced using just four strategically placed dental implants. This advanced procedure, pioneered by Nobel Biocare, provides a permanent solution for patients with significant tooth loss or those struggling with uncomfortable dentures.

Unlike traditional methods that might require 6-8 implants per arch, the All-on-4 technique utilizes just four implants – two placed vertically in the front of the jaw and two angled at 45 degrees in the back. This strategic placement maximizes contact with available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting procedures even in cases of bone loss.

Key Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

Immediate Results – “Teeth in a Day”

One of the most significant advantages of the All-on-4 procedure is the immediate transformation it provides. Most patients walk out with a fully functional set of fixed teeth on the same day as surgery – a concept known as “Teeth in a Day.” This eliminates the months of waiting time typically associated with traditional implant procedures.

Cost-Effective Solution

By using just four implants instead of 6-8, the All-on-4 technique significantly reduces costs while maintaining excellent stability and function. At Laviva Clinics, we offer this treatment at prices up to 70% lower than those in Western countries without compromising on quality.

Minimal Bone Requirements

Many patients with tooth loss also experience bone deterioration, which can make traditional implants impossible without extensive bone grafting. The All-on-4 technique takes advantage of available bone by angling the posterior implants, making it suitable for patients who might otherwise not qualify for implants.

Enhanced Stability and Function

The fixed prosthesis attached to All-on-4 implants provides superior stability compared to removable dentures. This allows patients to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence, enjoying a bite force close to that of natural teeth.

Bone Preservation

Dental implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots, preventing the bone resorption that typically occurs with tooth loss. This helps maintain facial structure and prevents the sunken appearance often associated with long-term denture use.

High Success Rate

With proper care, All-on-4 dental implants boast an impressive success rate of over 95%, making them one of the most reliable dental restoration options available.

The All-on-4 Procedure at Laviva Clinics: Step by Step

At Laviva Clinics, our All-on-4 implant procedure is meticulously planned and executed to ensure optimal results with minimal discomfort. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation and Planning

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with our expert dental team. We’ll:

• Conduct a thorough examination of your oral health
• Take 3D CT scans to evaluate bone density and structure
• Discuss your treatment goals and expectations
• Develop a personalized treatment plan
• Provide a detailed cost estimate with no hidden fees

2. Pre-Surgical Preparation

Before the day of surgery, we’ll:

• Complete any necessary preliminary treatments (extractions, periodontal therapy)
• Create surgical guides for precise implant placement
• Prepare temporary prosthetics to be fitted immediately after surgery

3. Implant Surgery Day

On the day of surgery:

• Treatment is performed under appropriate anesthesia for your comfort
• Any remaining teeth that need extraction are removed
• Four dental implants are strategically placed – two vertical anterior implants and two angled posterior implants
• Abutments are attached to the implants
• A temporary fixed prosthesis is secured to the implants, giving you an immediate functional smile

4. Healing and Osseointegration

After the implants are placed:

• A healing period of 3-6 months allows the implants to integrate with your jawbone (osseointegration)
• Regular check-ups ensure proper healing and adjustment of your temporary prosthesis
• You can return to your home country during this period, with virtual consultations available

5. Final Prosthesis Placement

Once healing is complete:

• You’ll return to Laviva Clinics for your final visit
• Impressions are taken for your permanent prosthesis
• A custom-designed, high-quality permanent bridge is created and attached to your implants
• Final adjustments ensure perfect fit, function, and aesthetics

Are You a Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?

While All-on-4 implants are suitable for many patients, certain factors determine candidacy. The ideal candidates include:

Ideal Candidates Include:

• Patients missing most or all teeth in one or both arches
• Current denture wearers dissatisfied with their experience
• Patients with bone loss who want to avoid extensive bone grafting
• Individuals with good general health and no uncontrolled medical conditions
• Non-smokers or those willing to quit during the treatment and healing process

Factors That May Affect Candidacy:

• Uncontrolled diabetes or heart disease
• Active periodontal (gum) disease
• Certain medications that affect bone healing
• Severe bruxism (teeth grinding)
• Heavy smoking habits

During your consultation at Laviva Clinics, our specialists will carefully evaluate your specific situation to determine if All-on-4 implants are right for you. In many cases, we can work with you to address health issues and improve your candidacy.

All-on-4 Aftercare and Maintenance

Proper care is essential for the long-term success of your All-on-4 implants. Here’s what you need to know:

Immediate Post-Surgical Care

• Apply ice packs to minimize swelling
• Take prescribed medications as directed
• Follow a soft food diet for the first 6-8 weeks
• Avoid smoking and alcohol during the healing period
• Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments

Long-Term Maintenance

• Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush
• Use a non-abrasive, low-abrasive toothpaste
• Clean under and around the prosthesis with specialized brushes and water flossers
• Visit your dentist for professional cleanings every 6 months
• Avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages or bite hard objects

With proper care, your All-on-4 dental implants can last a lifetime, though the prosthesis itself may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4 Implants

How long does the All-on-4 procedure take?

The surgical procedure typically takes 2-3 hours per arch. With pre-surgical preparation and post-surgical adjustments, you should plan to spend about 5-7 days in Turkey for the initial phase of treatment.

Is the All-on-4 procedure painful?

The procedure is performed under appropriate anesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild to moderate and can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Most patients report less pain than expected.

How do All-on-4 implants compare to traditional dentures?

All-on-4 implants offer significant advantages over traditional dentures:

• They’re permanently fixed (not removable)
• They don’t slip or cause sore spots
• They preserve jawbone structure
• They provide superior chewing efficiency (up to 90% compared to natural teeth)
• They don’t require adhesives or special cleaning solutions

Can I eat normally with All-on-4 implants?

Yes, once fully healed, you can eat almost anything you like with All-on-4 implants. During the initial healing phase (6-8 weeks), you’ll need to follow a soft food diet to allow proper integration of the implants.

How long do All-on-4 implants last?

With proper care and maintenance, the titanium implants can last a lifetime. The prosthetic teeth may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear.

What if I have significant bone loss? Can I still get All-on-4 implants?

Yes, the All-on-4 technique was specifically designed to work for patients with bone loss. By angling the posterior implants, we can often avoid bone grafting even in cases of significant atrophy. For extreme cases, we also offer All-on-6 implants or zygomatic implants.
