All on 4™ Protocol

Diagnostics

• Impressions and x-rays will be taken, so we can produce study models of your jaw
• A removable denture is constructed with the intended teeth setup and is transformed into a template for the CT scanning
• A CT scan may be taken, to help diagnose and visualise the jaws 3 dimensionally to ensure there is enough bone for the dental implants to bond with – This will also establish where your sinuses and nerves are (to avoid during the procedure)

Implant Placement

• The implants will be placed under intravenous (IV) sedation or  local anaesthetic with the assistance of a template or an accurate guide based on the CT scan
• The implants will be allowed to heal and integrate with the jawbone. This process will normally take 3 months

Provisional Restoration

• The implants are immediately loaded with a full arch fixed prosthesis on the day of the implant placement

Permanent Restoration

• The final or permanent restoration is fitted after 3 months
• Final solutions include both fixed and removable prostheses
• Fixed solutions include an implant Bridge with acrylic or porcelain crowns cemented to the bridge framework
• Removable solutions include Overdentures on an implant bar attached by means of a variety of attachment systems
