A patient presented to Greenvale Dental House with a range of dental problems, including missing, discoloured, weak, trauma-affected and crooked teeth.
Presenting Clinical Problem
Several concerns were present at once: missing teeth, discolouration, weakened and crooked teeth, and areas affected by earlier dental trauma. A dental examination and radiographs were used to assess oral health and plan treatment.
Treatment Approach
The treating dentist recommended All-On-4 to address the combination of concerns with a single full-arch solution. This places four implants to support a full arch of fixed replacement teeth.
Steps involved
- Dental examination and imaging
- Placement of four implants to support one full arch
- Fitting of a fixed All-On-4 set of teeth
Clinical Outcome
Treatment was carried out over about three months across several visits so each step could be planned and reviewed. The replacement teeth were designed to look natural, and the trauma-affected areas were addressed as part of the restoration. Treatment time, healing and results differ from person to person.
Common Questions
Can All-On-4 address several problems at once?
Because it replaces a whole arch, All-On-4 can be an option when many teeth in one jaw are damaged, missing or worn, subject to a clinical assessment.
How long does treatment usually take?
It varies. Many full-arch cases are staged over a few months across several visits, depending on healing and preparatory treatment.
Please note: individual results vary and All-On-4 is not suitable for everyone. Suitability can only be determined at a clinical consultation. To discuss treatment after dental trauma, book an assessment with the team at Greenvale Dental House.
