Overview
Surgery day is an important step in the All-On-4 Plus® process. The procedure is carefully planned to support comfort, stability, healing and long-term function from the very beginning.
Patients will undergo a general anaesthetic, which means that you are asleep during the surgery.
In many cases, patients receive their Immediate Final Teeth™ within 1-7 days after surgery, allowing them to leave with a functional smile while healing occurs beneath the surface.
Recovery continues over the following months as the implants gradually integrate with the jawbone through a biological healing process called osseointegration, which takes about 4 months.
The sections below explain the key stages involved in surgery day, healing and the transition from temporary to permanent teeth.
Sleep dentistry helps keep patients comfortable during All-On-4 Plus® surgery by using sedation or general anaesthesia. In most cases, treatment is performed under general anaesthesia, allowing patients to remain asleep throughout the procedure while being carefully monitored by a qualified anaesthetist.
After All-On-4 Plus® surgery, the implants require time to heal and integrate with the jawbone. During this biological healing process, the bone gradually bonds to the implants, creating a stable base for long-term function and support.
All-On-4 Plus® treatment usually begins with a fixed bridge placed shortly after surgery. Once healing and implant integration are complete, this is replaced with a custom-made permanent restoration designed for long-term fit, function and durability.
