How long will treatment take?

Traditionally, dental implant treatment can take several months from start to finish. Alternatively, with the revolutionary technique of All-on-4 Dental Implants, we are now able to provide patients with new teeth in a day. This does however depend on the dental health and treatment preferences of our individual patients - we are always happy to work in a way that best suits you.

Who is a candidate for All-on4?

Almost every patient is a candidate for the All-on-4® implant procedure. During your initial consultation, we will assess your current state of oral health (looking for signs of periodontal disease and jaw bone deterioration), your medical history (making special note of diabetes, respiratory disease, heart disease and bleeding tendencies that may render surgery risky) and age-related diseases, such as osteoporosis. Age itself is never considered a problem.

Is the process for All-on4 painful?

The use of sedative medications and local anaesthetics ensure that you are kept entirely comfortable and pain and anxiety-free during the All-on-4® procedure. As with any surgery, you can expect some post-operative discomfort, but we will send you home with prescription analgesics (pain-killers) to help manage this. In any case, this discomfort is typically minimal and seldom persists for more than a few days.

Will the results look natural?

Absolutely! The prosthetic dental bridge attached to the All-on-4® dental implants is expertly fabricated by highly trained PRO DENTAL CLINIC lab technicians to be virtually indistinguishable from a set of natural, healthy teeth. Using moulds or impressions that are taken of your teeth during your initial consultation with us, the bridge will be custom made to perfectly fit the natural contours of your jaw, thus making it look and feel very natural.
