Is All-on-4 a permanent solution?
Yes, the All-on-4/6 treatment is intended to be a long-term, permanent solution for those who need full-arch tooth replacement. Unlike traditional dentures, which must be removed daily and can become loose or uncomfortable over time, All-on-4/6 involves attaching a fixed set of teeth directly to dental implants that are anchored securely in the jawbone. These implants are designed to fuse with the bone over time, providing a strong and stable foundation. Once healing is complete and your final restoration is fitted, your new teeth will look, feel, and function like natural ones, giving you the freedom to eat, speak, and smile with confidence without the hassle of removable dentures.
Does it hurt to get All-on-4?
The All-on-4 procedure is typically carried out under local anaesthesia or conscious sedation, which means you will be awake but relaxed and will not feel any pain during the treatment itself. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the process is. After the procedure, it’s normal to experience some swelling, tenderness, or mild discomfort as your mouth begins to heal. However, this is usually short-lived and can be easily managed with over-the-counter or prescribed pain relief. Our team will provide full aftercare instructions and support to help ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
Who is a good candidate for All-on-4?
All-on-4/6 is an excellent option for individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth in the upper or lower jaw and are looking for a stable, long-term alternative to removable dentures. It is especially beneficial for patients who still have enough bone in the jaw to support the implants, although in many cases, the treatment can still be successful without the need for bone grafting. Ideal candidates should also be in generally good health, without any conditions that would interfere with healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or gum disease. During your consultation, your dentist will carry out a thorough assessment, including scans and a review of your medical history, to determine if All-on-4 is the right solution for you.
Can I eat normally with All-on-4?
Yes, one of the biggest benefits of the All-on-4/6 system is that it restores full chewing function, allowing you to eat just as you would with natural teeth. Once the healing phase is complete and your final prosthetic is fitted, you’ll be able to enjoy your favourite foods again without worrying about movement, discomfort, or the limitations that often come with traditional dentures. From crunchy vegetables to tougher meats, All-on-4 gives you the confidence and stability to eat a wide variety of meals with ease.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, All-on-4/6 implants are designed to last a lifetime. The implants themselves are made from durable, high-quality materials like titanium, which can integrate with your jawbone and provide a strong, permanent foundation. The prosthetic teeth attached to the implants may need to be replaced or adjusted over time due to normal wear, but the implants typically remain secure and functional for decades. To ensure long-term success, it's important to follow good oral hygiene practices, attend regular dental check-ups, and avoid habits like smoking that can impact healing and implant health.
