All-On-4 Dental Treatment in Singapore

All-On-4 by Ashford Dental

Missing most or all of your teeth can affect far more than your appearance. It can make eating difficult, change the way you speak and reduce your confidence in social situations. At Ashford Dental Centre, our All-On-4 dental implant treatment offers a long-lasting and stable solution for patients who have lost multiple teeth or require a full-mouth restoration.

All-On-4 uses four strategically placed dental implants to support a complete arch of replacement teeth. Compared to traditional dentures, this treatment provides better comfort, stronger bite force and a more natural-looking smile.

What Is All-On-4?

All-On-4 is an advanced full-mouth dental implant technique that replaces an entire row of missing teeth using only four dental implants.

Two implants are placed vertically at the front of the jaw, while the two implants at the back are angled to maximise support and make better use of the available bone. A fixed bridge containing a full set of replacement teeth is then attached to these implants.

This approach often avoids the need for extensive bone grafting and allows many patients to receive temporary teeth on the same day as their implant surgery.

Unlike removable dentures, All-On-4 teeth remain securely fixed in place and function much like natural teeth.

The All-On-4 treatment concept is designed to provide maximum support using fewer implants. By placing the rear implants at an angle, the dentist can make use of stronger areas of jawbone while avoiding important structures such as the sinus cavity or nerves.

This means:

  • Fewer implants are required
  • Less invasive surgery may be needed
  • Bone grafting is often avoided
  • Faster recovery is possible
  • A complete arch of teeth can often be fitted within 24 hours

The treatment is suitable for both the upper and lower jaw.

You may be a good candidate for All-On-4 if you:

  • Have lost most or all of your teeth
  • Wear dentures and want a more permanent solution
  • Have several damaged, loose or failing teeth
  • Have enough jawbone to support dental implants
  • Want fixed teeth without needing an implant for every missing tooth
  • Want to avoid repeated denture adjustments and adhesives

Even if you have been told you have low bone density, you may still qualify for All-On-4 because the angled implant placement often works well in areas with limited bone.

During your consultation, our dentists will assess your oral health, bone condition, medical history and treatment goals to determine whether All-On-4 is right for you.

Procedure

Phase 1: Consultation

Our experienced surgeons will consult with you to determine your objectives for this treatment.We then take clinical records including:

  • X-Rays
  • Cone Beam Computed Tomography
  • Photographs

All of which allows us to determine whether you are suitable for the All on 4 procedure.

Phase 2: Surgery

This can be done under local anaesthesia, intravenous sedation or in a general anaesthesia setting. We will remove the existing teeth you have and place 4 strategically positioned implant in your jaw. A 3D Scan of your jaw is taken which is automatically sent to our laboratory to fabricate your immediate prosthesis.

Phase 3: Temporary Prosthesis

After surgery, you will be required to rest with specific instructions on diet and post-operative healing. Later on the day of surgery, or the day after; we will fix your temporary bridge over the 4 dental implants placed earlier. This bridge is a full set of natural looking teeth fixed into your jaw. You will be able to smile, talk and eat naturally after this.

Phase 4: Permanent prosthesis

After 3 to 6 months, we will remove the temporary bridge and fabricate a permanent fixed bridge for you. The permanent bridge is usually made from ceramic supported by a titanium bar connecting your implants. This mimics natural teeth like nothing else in the dental world. You will have a permanent, fully functional set of beautiful teeth.

Advantages of All-On-4

Life transforming treatment which is permanent. You will enjoy renewed confidence socially, eating and speaking.

Can be completed relatively quickly depending on which type of treatment is used. Typically, the All on 4 bridge is delivered within a day or on the same day as treatment.

Strong, sound teeth available for chewing improves your nutrition and general health and well being.

Benefits of All-On-4 Dental Implants

A Full Smile with Only Four Implants

Instead of placing 6 to 10 implants per jaw, All-On-4 requires only four implants to support an entire set of teeth.

Fixed Teeth That Do Not Move

The replacement teeth are permanently attached to the implants, so they do not slip, wobble or fall out while eating or speaking.

Teeth in a Day

In many cases, temporary teeth can be attached on the same day as implant placement. This means you can leave the clinic with a functional smile immediately after surgery.

Natural Appearance

The prosthetic teeth are custom-made to match your facial features, gum line and desired smile. They are designed to look natural and blend comfortably with your appearance.

Improved Chewing Ability

All-On-4 provides stronger biting force than removable dentures, allowing you to enjoy a wider range of foods.

Preserves Jawbone

Dental implants stimulate the jawbone and help prevent the bone loss that often occurs after tooth loss.

Easier to Care For

Because the teeth are fixed, there is no need for denture adhesive or soaking. Daily cleaning is similar to caring for natural teeth.

What Are Temporary Teeth in All-On-4?

Temporary teeth are the initial bridge attached after implant surgery. They allow you to leave the clinic with a complete smile while your implants heal.

These temporary teeth:

  • Look natural
  • Allow you to speak and smile confidently
  • Let you eat soft foods during recovery
  • Protect the implants while the bone heals

After the healing period, they are replaced with your final prosthetic teeth, which are stronger, more aesthetic and designed for long-term use.

Most patients experience mild swelling, soreness or bruising for a few days after the procedure. These symptoms usually improve within one week.

The initial recovery period is generally 1 to 2 weeks, while full healing and integration of the implants takes around 3 to 6 months.

During recovery, you may be advised to:

  • Eat soft foods
  • Avoid smoking
  • Follow good oral hygiene
  • Attend follow-up appointments
  • Avoid hard or sticky foods until healing is complete

Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you recover comfortably.

The dental implants themselves can potentially last for decades with proper care. The bridge attached to the implants may need maintenance or replacement after many years, depending on wear and tear.

To help your All-On-4 implants last longer:

  • Brush twice daily
  • Use floss or special implant cleaning tools
  • Attend regular dental check-ups
  • Avoid smoking
  • Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth

With proper maintenance, All-On-4 can be a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-On-4 Treatment in Singapore

Can you explain the concept of All-on-Four?

The All-on-4 treatment concept typically combines surgery and prosthetic restoration into a single treatment session. Two vertical implants are placed in the front area (typically lateral incisor) and two angled implants in the back region (2nd premolar).

What does the All-on-4 method involve?

The procedure involves restoring the upper or lower jaw with a fixed prosthesis using four implants in the front of the upper jaw, where the bone is denser, whether the patient is edentulous or still has teeth.

What is the rate of success achieved by All-on-4 procedures?

These implants have a success rate exceeding 99.2% and have demonstrated clinical success for more than 18 years. It is highly improbable that your All-on-4 dental implant restoration will fail.

What is the duration of All-on-Four implants' lifespan?

By maintaining proper care and practicing good oral hygiene, the prosthesis connected to All-on-4 implants is expected to remain functional for a minimum of 10 to 15 years.

What is the number of teeth in All-on-4?

A standard All on 4 denture generally has fourteen teeth which consist of 4 incisors, 4 premolars, 2 canines, and 4 molars. These implants are created to support a full set of 14 teeth with just 4 dental implants. Four titanium posts are inserted to provide support for a stationary dental bridge with 10 to 14 teeth.

Does All-on-4 implants cause pain?

Discomfort post-procedure is quite minor and can be handled without the need for any medication. Nevertheless, a small amount of Tylenol or Aleve can be effective if necessary. You will also receive a prescription for antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection at the surgical sites.

Do All-on-4 implants make it difficult to eat?

Eating with All-On-4 implants might seem strange at first, but it is important to be patient and chew slowly. Make sure to apply equal pressure on both sides of your mouth to keep it stable and prevent any discomfort.

What is the duration of the All-on-4 treatment?

The complete process of the All-on-4 dental implant usually requires multiple months to finish. Patients should anticipate the process to last around four to six months, starting from the first consultation to the final placement of the prosthesis.

Is it possible for All-on-4 implants to become loose?

The All-on-4 implant overdenture should not be loose. It should be relatively simple to solve the issue, which is a positive aspect. It is recommended that you see your dentist quickly to prevent additional issues or discomfort. Your dentist should have the ability to quickly adjust it in the clinic.

Is it possible to complete All-on-4 in a single day?

An innovative treatment option includes the All-on-4/Teeth in a Day procedure. Yes, ashford dental centre can potentially swap out a complete set of teeth in a single day using only four dental implants!

What does all in 4 signify?

All On 4 involves using only four implants to replace either the upper or lower set of teeth in a dental implant procedure. These four implants provide support for securing a new set of permanent teeth in place.
