All on Four Implants - The Treatment
Protocol
• The Surgical Stage
▫ Surgical procedures that could be carried out on a patient’s teeth are
varied; usually the all in 4 treatment procedure requires just the surgical
fixing of four implants along the lower and upper arch. However, where
necessary, the dentist could carry out bone grafts and re-contouring
before fixing implant. In all these, the consolation for patients is that
these processes can be completed in just one surgical session. All that
would be left thereafter is to go for follow-up visits where the progress of
the treatment can be monitored. If everything goes well, in 48 hours you
should be able to live a normal life with your new set of teeth and by the
12th week after the surgery, the whole treatment process should have
been concluded.
• The Restorative Stage
▫ Sometimes, might just want to see how comfortable you feel with the
new set of teeth post-treatment; so about 16 weeks after the surgery, and
another visit may be scheduled to listen to your complaints and get your
feedback on what’s right, where it hurts or if there is a need for an
adjustment.
