The Clinical Assessment Process

All-On-4 Plus® treatment begins with a clinical assessment. This process gathers the clinical information needed to understand your oral health, general health and treatment needs before treatment planning begins.

The assessment may include a comprehensive oral examination, review of your medical and dental history and 3D CBCT imaging.
These steps allow your clinician to assess your jawbone, surrounding anatomy and available bone volume as part of the diagnostic process.

Suitability is based on individual clinical factors rather than a single consideration. Bone quality, gum health, healing capacity, systemic health, medications and smoking status may all be considered during the clinical assessment and treatment planning process.

The clinical assessment process also provides an opportunity to ask questions, discuss the treatment process and seek a second opinion before proceeding with invasive surgery.

Your initial consultation is the diagnostic phase of the All-On-4 Plus® treatment process. It may include a comprehensive oral examination, review of your medical and dental history and 3D CBCT imaging to gather the clinical information required for treatment planning.

The consultation also provides an opportunity to discuss the All-On-4 Plus® procedure, the treatment process, expected costs and clinical risks associated with treatment.

The information gathered during the consultation forms the basis of the clinical assessment and treatment planning process, after which your clinician will explain the findings and discuss the recommended next steps based on your individual assessment.

There is no strict upper age limit for dental implants. Suitability for All-On-4 Plus® treatment is usually based more on bone quality, healing capacity, overall health and individual clinical assessment than age alone.

Some older adults may still be suitable candidates if their oral health and general medical condition support implant surgery and healing.
In younger patients, clinicians may need to confirm that jaw growth is complete before implant treatment proceeds.

Seeking a second opinion provides an opportunity to gather additional information before proceeding with invasive surgery.
It allows patients to better understand their diagnosis, discuss their treatment options and review a personalised treatment plan.

A second opinion also provides an opportunity to compare different treatment plans, costs and clinical approaches before making a treatment decision.
