Quick Answer

In the All-On-4 Plus® process patients are typically fitted with a fixed bridge shortly after surgery while the implants heal and integrate with the jawbone. After several months of healing, this is replaced with a custom-made permanent restoration designed for long-term function and durability.

Temporary teeth

Inserted 3-4 hours after surgery

Immediate Final Teeth™

Within 1-7 days

Full recovery

Typically 4 months after surgery

Overview

A key part of the All-On-4 Plus® process is the quick transition from having temporary teeth to your Immediate Final Teeth.

Unlike other approaches which may involve wearing a temporary restoration for months after surgery; All On 4 Plus® treatment uses specific techniques and technologies to allow patients to wear temporary teeth immediately after their final prosthesis is being made overnight. The patient will then return back to the clinic within 1-7 days of their surgery to go home with their Immediate Final Teeth™. This is made possible by advanced digital planning, strategic implant angling and an immediate loading protocol- meaning that the implants are loaded within a period of 7 days after surgery.

Once full healing and osseointegration is complete ( usually 4 months after surgery) if a patient needs a stronger prosthesis ( such as zirconia) then that can be changed over.
