Why are All-On-4® dental implants Better at integratedDENTAL?
integratedDENTAL’s approach to the All-On-4™ dental implant treatment option maintains the foundational surgical concepts that made the All-On-4® process so successful while improving upon the planning, execution, and prosthetics using the advanced digital tools available today in modern dentistry. The entire treatment is offered in our state-of-the-art facility meaning you have the convenience of only having to travel to one location. Unlike the traditional All-On-4® technique, integratedDENTAL’s All-On-4® approach involves extensive digital planning by the specialist treatment team using 3D X-rays, intraoral digital impressions, and digital photography. This advanced digital planning allows for a 3D-printed surgical guide to be manufactured so the surgeon places all implants into their precisely planned ideal position to support the new teeth. The digital implant surgical guide also ensures important anatomical structures are avoided making the surgery safer, more precise, and quicker. Another advantage to integratedDENTAL’s All-On-4® treatment is that we place more than just 4 implants at no additional cost so the final bridge has enhanced support.
A BRAND NEW SMILE IN JUST 24 HOURS with All-On-4® Dental Implants!
Once surgery is complete, the team of specialists at integratedDENTAL uses digital scanning technology so the final position of the implants can be precisely recorded at the same visit. This data is seamlessly merged with the digital aesthetic smile planning pre-approved by the patient so their new teeth are digitally manufactured right away with CAD/CAM technology from stronger materials than traditional All-On-4® hybrid bridges. The digital treatment steps unique to integratedDENTAL’s All-on-4® Solution allows for a predictable, functional, and cosmetic smile solution to be delivered to the patient in just 24 hours!
Another tremendous benefit to integratedDENTAL’s All-on-4® treatment protocol is that once the implants have fully healed, updated molds are made before the final bridges are manufactured to enhance their fit and comfort. The final All-on-4® bridges offered by integratedDENTAL are digitally manufactured and made of much stronger, longer-lasting, life-like materials so patients can rest assured they can confidently function with their new teeth.

Other Offices’ Traditional All-On-4® Treatments – an antiquated approach
The All-On-4® implant treatment was an excellent treatment option for patients who required most or all of their missing teeth to be replaced. This technique involved the placement of as few as 4 dental implants at appropriate mechanical inclinations to maximize fixed support for a full arch of teeth. It dramatically improved a patient’s quality of life by avoiding the need for an uncomfortable denture.
All-On-4® implants was a much improved treatment alternative for patients who had been stuck in the past with dentures due to finances or anatomical challenges. Traditionally, the placement of up to 8-10 implants per jaw was necessary to restore patients with a fixed bridge instead of a denture. To place this large number of implants, patients often had to have additional extensive bone grafting procedures which further added to the high cost of treatment. With the All-On-4® concept, the placement of 2 back implants at up to a 45° angulation along with conventional placement of usually 2 implants in the front provided enough support for a fixed bridge while avoiding the need for extensive bone grafting. This helped to minimize surgical procedures and costs associated with treatment.
BUYER BEWARE!
While the surgical concepts used for the All-On-4® treatment are still useful today, the traditional methods of prosthetically restoring it are riddled with problems. Specifically, the vast majority of offices offering an All-On-4® style of treatment provide patients with hybrid bridges as the final prosthesis. These bridges have plastic teeth glued onto a metal bar. The bond of these teeth to the metal bar is unpredictable in the longterm and the plastic teeth themselves are prone to fracture after prolonged wear. Often these style bridges fail because of teeth popping or breaking off.
The result is an All-On-4® prosthesis that is very high-maintenance, requiring multiple repairs and possibly the need for frequent replacement all at an added expense to the patient. This is very frustrating for patients because after spending significant finances on the All-On-4® style treatment they are required to invest more money in the continued maintenance of their bridges. So just because an office advertises they offer an All-On-4® style treatment, make sure to ask what type of bridge will be designed and how long can one expect it to be in service.
