Procedure & Technology

Zygomatic Implants is a dental implant solution for severe bone loss in the upper jaw. These implants are longer than standard dental implants which rely on the transverse the poor area of your upper jaw to anchor into the underside of the cheekbones from the inside through the sinus space.

An option for severe upper jaw bone loss is All-on-4 Plus® Pterygoid implants. Often this solutions can work where traditional methods fall short. These longer implants anchor into stronger bone areas allowing the dental provider to achieve a stable, fixed outcome.

The “Plus” difference refers to enhancements in planning, materials, and surgical techniques designed to improve stability, comfort, aesthetics and long-term outcomes compared to traditional approaches.

Bone grafting is a crucial technique in dental implantology. It is used to rebuild and strengthen jawbone structure where bone volume is insufficient.

Biological integration (also known as osseointegration) is the process by which your jawbone naturally bonds with a dental implant. This creates a stable and long-term foundation that supports fixed replacement teeth.

Three-dimensional Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging forms an important part of the All-On-4 Plus® clinical assessment and treatment planning process. It provides detailed images of your jaw and surrounding anatomy to help your clinician assess your individual circumstances before implant surgery is considered.

Digital Smile Design is a planning tool used in the All-On-4 Plus® treatment process. It combines digital photographs, scans and CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design) software to help your clinician plan your treatment and enable you to visualise your proposed smile before surgery.

The biomechanical science that allows us to securely attach a fixed bridge to implants within 24 to 48 hours of surgery.

Any surgery performed as part of All-On-4 Plus® treatment is carried out under general anaesthetic. Other forms of sedation are not used for the surgical procedure.

An alveolectomy reshapes and smooths the jawbone to remove rugged areas, create a flatter surface and provide additional space for the construction of the replacement teeth and prosthesis.

The All-On-4 Plus® system is engineered in layers for maximum strength and a natural look. By anchoring titanium implants into the jaw and connecting them with a hidden internal support bar, we create a fixed bridge that can handle the full force of chewing. This precision design ensures your new smile is durable, stable, and easy to maintain.

High-Strength Materials: Zirconia vs. Acrylic provides a clinical comparison of materials used in restorative dentistry. All-On-4 Plus® final bridges utilise premium zirconia and porcelain for durability and aesthetics.

How integrating a rigid titanium bar into your final bridge is designed to distribute bite forces evenly and minimise the risk of fracture.

How placing implants at specific angles helps avoid vital anatomical structures (like the sinus cavity) and maximises contact with available dense bone.
