Can All-On-4 Plus® Dental Implants Replace Multiple Missing Teeth in Sunbury?
Presenting Clinical Problem
- Multiple missing teeth in both upper and lower arches
- Current reliance on removable dentures
- Patient desire for fixed tooth replacement solution
- Assessment of jaw bone quality and quantity
- Primary objective: Provide fixed full-arch tooth replacement using dental implants
Treatment Plan & Clinical Process
Phase 1: Comprehensive Assessment and Planning
- Clinical examination and 3D imaging to assess bone availability
- Evaluation of remaining teeth requiring extraction
- Treatment planning for implant positions and angulations
- Discussion of All-On-4 Plus® technique and treatment timeline
- Review of surgical process and healing expectations
Phase 2: Implant Placement Surgery
- Extraction of any remaining non-restorable teeth
- Placement of four to six strategically positioned implants per arch
- Use of angled posterior implants to maximise bone engagement
- Immediate or delayed loading protocol depending on bone quality
- Post-surgical care instructions and monitoring
Phase 3: Prosthetic Fabrication and Delivery
- Healing period to allow implant integration with bone
- Impressions or digital scans for final prosthesis fabrication
- Design and fabrication of fixed full-arch prostheses
- Delivery and adjustment of final restorations
- Long-term maintenance protocols and follow-up scheduling
Clinical Outcome
All-On-4 Plus® implants were placed in both upper and lower arches over several months to provide fixed full-arch tooth replacement. The technique eliminated need for removable dentures and restored chewing function with permanently attached prostheses.
Individual responses to full-arch implant treatment vary significantly. Treatment outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Implant treatment requires adequate bone quality and quantity, and some patients may need additional procedures. Implants can fail to integrate or develop complications requiring intervention.
