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.
Most patients undergo treatment under general anaesthesia while the clinical team places the implants and performs any necessary preparatory procedures.
In many cases, patients receive fixed teeth shortly 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.
Once healing and implant stability have been confirmed, the initial bridge is replaced with a custom-made permanent restoration designed for long-term fit, comfort and durability.
The sections below explain the key stages involved in surgery day, healing, sedation, and the transition from temporary to permanent teeth.
Sleep Dentistry Options
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 closely monitored by a qualified anaesthetist.
Sleep Dentistry Options
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 foundation for long-term function and support.
From Temporary to Permanent
All-On-4 Plus® treatment typically 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.
Sleep dentistry for All-On-4 Plus® involves using sedation or general anaesthesia to keep you comfortable and pain-free during surgery. In most cases, treatment is performed under general anaesthesia, meaning you are fully asleep throughout the procedure.
The biological healing process is the period where your gums and jawbone heal around the implants after All-On-4 Plus® surgery. During this time, the implants gradually integrate with the bone, creating a stable and long-term foundation for your new teeth.
A key part of the All-On-4 Plus® process is the transition from an immediate fixed bridge to a final permanent restoration.
Unlike traditional approaches that may involve removable dentures during healing, All-On-4 Plus® is designed to provide fixed teeth shortly after implant surgery.
