All on 4 Zurich / Fixed teeth in one day

In principle, dental implants are suitable for almost every patient. At our dental practice in Zurich, we use dental implants to replace both individual gaps and larger missing teeth. If several teeth are missing, for example, a bridge that is attached to two or more implants is an option.

The All on 4 concept is suitable for situations in which no or very few teeth remain. Even if the remaining teeth are in a poor condition and cannot be retained, it is possible to restore a flawless set of teeth using the All on 4 method.

In contrast to classic implant treatment, this form of treatment is also suitable for patients with little bone substance. However, a certain minimum bone substance is required in the area of the front teeth.

With the All on Four method, we can produce fixed and aesthetically pleasing dentures in one day. In terms of appearance and function, the finished dentures are practically indistinguishable from natural teeth.

The All on 4 method requires fewer dental implants than classic implant treatment. As a result, the costs are also lower. According to current knowledge, the dental implants are just as resilient as conventional implants.

The dental implants are inserted into the bone at an angle using a special 3D navigated technique. This is expected to result in high primary stability. Minor bone augmentation is necessary for most implantations. If the bone situation is optimised, the temporary denture can be loaded directly from day 1.

The actual operation in our practice at Finest Smile, Löwenplatz Zurich, takes about 1 - 2 hours. This is followed by a healing phase of around 3 - 6 months, during which you will wear a screw-retained temporary denture. Once the healing phase is complete, the final prosthesis is fitted and screwed onto the dental implants. This concludes the All on 4 treatment in Zurich.

Every surgical procedure is always associated with certain risks. For example, swelling, pain and, in individual cases, haematomas can occur after the operation. With the All on Four method, however, we can minimise the risks as the treatment is shorter and involves less effort than other methods.

On average, the healing of dental implants takes around 3 - 6 months. The implants can then be fully loaded. If the bone situation is optimal, you will be fitted with a fixed temporary restoration for the duration of the healing process, which can be loaded immediately.

After the dental implants have been inserted, sports and other physical exertion should be avoided for a few days.

In principle, dental implants are cleaned in the same way as natural teeth. You should proceed with caution when cleaning the implants and ensure thorough dental hygiene, including the spaces between the teeth. This is particularly important after the operation to prevent inflammation.

With careful care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Although there are still no long-term studies on All on 4 treatment, initial findings show a comparable lifespan to conventional implants.
