The All-on-4® Solution – Confi Dental Clinic Tbilisi

All-on-4 implants work similarly to traditional dental implants but with a key advantage: instead of requiring up to eight implants per jaw to replace a full set of teeth, the All-on-4 method uses only four implants per jawbone. This innovative approach allows for a full arch of teeth with fewer implants, making the procedure less invasive and more efficient.

Another major benefit is the recovery time. Traditional dental implants may take up to eight months for full recovery, while the All-on-4 implant technique significantly shortens healing time and reduces discomfort.

Dental implants have been widely used since the 1970s and 1980s, but it was Dr. Paulo Malo who revolutionized the field in 1998 by introducing the All-on-4 treatment concept. With the use of straight and angled multi-unit abutments, he transformed what was once a four- to six-month process into a procedure that can often be completed in a single day—even when tooth extractions are necessary.

At Confi Dental Clinic Tbilisi, our experienced team is proud to offer this groundbreaking treatment to restore your smile quickly, comfortably, and with long-lasting results.

“Unlike with conventional dental implants, however, the dentist only needs to place a total of four implants in each jawbone to replace all the teeth of a specific row.”

All-on-4® Dental Implants – Confi Dental Clinic Tbilisi

Candidacy for All-on-4

Before receiving All-on-4 implants, patients will need to visit Confi Dental Clinic Tbilisi for a consultation and full examination. This appointment will include X-rays, an evaluation of oral health and medical history, as well as impressions and measurements to ensure the implants fit the patient’s jaw precisely.

Virtually anyone who needs a completely new set of teeth can benefit from All-on-4 dental implants. This includes patients with severely broken down or decayed teeth, congenitally missing teeth, teeth damaged by gum disease, or those missing six or more teeth in a row. Our dentists will carefully evaluate each case to recommend the best treatment.

How the All-on-4 Implant Treatment Works

Replacing an entire arch of teeth with standard implants often requires one implant for each tooth. In contrast, All-on-4 uses only four implants to replace the entire top or bottom row of teeth—even if the patient has no teeth at all.

As explained by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, the four implants support a full arch of replacement teeth without the need for bone grafting. Because some implants are placed at an angle, they provide stronger support and stability.

The procedure is faster than traditional implants. After impressions and X-rays are sent to a lab, our team uses local anesthesia and, if needed, removes damaged teeth. Then, four titanium screws are inserted into the jaw—two at the front and two at the back. These serve as anchors for the artificial teeth.

Caring for All-on-4

All-on-4 implants are a clinically proven solution for full-mouth restoration, with studies showing a survival rate of 99.2% over 10 years and more than 18 years of clinical success.

Just like natural teeth, they require proper care:

• Brush at least twice a day for 2–3 minutes.

• Clean carefully along the gum line.

• Use gum stimulators or flossing tools to remove food near the base of the gums.

Proper oral hygiene is essential to prevent plaque buildup and gum disease.

The Process of Getting All-on-4

On the day of surgery, patients are prepared and placed under the appropriate sedation. Our dentist removes any remaining damaged teeth and places four implants—two at the back of the jaw and two at the front—for even support. Once placed, a temporary set of teeth is attached.

The entire procedure usually takes 1 to 2.5 hours per arch. Patients wake up with functioning new teeth and can begin recovery immediately.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Am I a good candidate for All-on-4?
A. Patients who have lost all or most of their teeth, or who currently wear dentures, are often excellent candidates. Age, oral health, and jaw condition are also factors we consider.

Q. Will I experience speech issues?
A. Some patients may notice temporary speech changes due to tooth positioning, but our dentists take every step to minimize this.

Q. Does age affect dental implant success?
A. No. All-on-4 implants are effective for both younger and older patients. Unlike dentures, they help prevent bone loss and gum irritation.

Q. How long does the procedure take?
A. On average, about four hours per arch. Several follow-up appointments may be required to create the final permanent bridge.

Q. When can I eat again after surgery?
A. Patients may drink cool liquids immediately. For the first two weeks, a liquid diet is recommended until healing progresses.

Q. How often do I need checkups?
A. At least twice a year, though some patients may require more frequent visits.
