Immediate loading forms part of the All-On-4 Plus® treatment process, with Immediate Final Teeth™ placed 1 to 2 days after surgery. The initial healing phase, including osseointegration, continues for four months.
Any surgery performed as part of All-On-4 Plus® treatment is carried out under general anaesthetic, rather than local anaesthesia, IV sedation or another form of sedation.
Jawbone reshaping, also known as an alveolectomy or alveoplasty, removes rugged areas of the jawbone to create a flatter surface for dental implant placement. The procedure may also create additional space for constructing the replacement teeth and prosthesis while helping to simplify cleaning and maintenance over time.
