In this episode of Before and Beyond, Dr Justin discusses All-On-X implants, commonly known as All-On-4, a full-arch solution for patients with failing or missing teeth. He explains the benefits of using temporary dental bridges, which allow patients to regain chewing function immediately after implant placement.
Dr Justin also highlights the step-by-step process, including data collection with face scans and X-rays, surgical guides for accurate implant placement, and designing a temporary bridge. He shares how careful planning ensures stability, comfort, and aesthetics while preparing patients for their permanent dental restoration.
All-On-4 implants provide a stable and fixed solution for patients who need full-arch tooth replacement. The treatment involves placing four strategically positioned implants in the jaw to support a full dental bridge. Using digital technology, dentists can plan implant placement accurately with face scans, X-rays, and surgical guides, ensuring optimal bite, load distribution, and long-term stability.
A key feature of this approach is the temporary dental bridge, which is secured immediately after implant surgery. This bridge allows patients to chew and function normally without the discomfort of removable dentures. It also protects the implants during the healing period. After a few months, once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, the temporary bridge is replaced with a permanent restoration made of durable, lifelike materials such as zirconia. All-On-4 provides patients with a long-lasting, functional, and aesthetic smile transformation.
