  4. Is the All-On-4 Procedure Suitable for Everyone?

Hi, I’m Dr. Fong, the founder and principal dentist of Dental House Group and AO4 Implants.

Recently, I had a conversation with one of our patients, Anne from Sunbury. Because of the medication she has been taking for many years, it has really deteriorated her teeth and her gum. As a result, she has lost many teeth, the remaining ones are no longer stable.

Anne has been thinking about a complete smile makeover, and after seeing many success stories about All-on-4, she became intrigued.

The idea of a complete teeth replacement solution really appealed to her, but she also had concerns. During her consultation, she asked me, “Hey Fong, is this procedure right for me, or is it a one-size-fits-all solution?”

I realised this is a very common question, and it deserves to be addressed, which is why I’ve decided to make this video.

The answer is that All-on-4 is a fantastic solution for many people, but unfortunately, it is not for everyone. The suitability of this procedure depends on a few factors like bone density, general health, lifestyle choices, and age.

1

Adequate jawbone structure is needed to support the implants. Patients with certain health conditions or those on specific medications might not be ideal candidates.

2

Habits like smoking can affect the success rate of implants.

3

While age itself is not a limiting factor, older adults may have other health concerns that need to be considered.

Generally, good candidates for all-on-4 have enough bone density in the jaw, and do not have health conditions that could interfere with the healing process.

Those with systemic health conditions like uncontrolled diabetes may also face complications. Smokers, too, may experience a lower success rate due to poor healing and increased risk of infection.

Here at Dental House Group, we’ve had patients from various backgrounds, ages, and dental histories who’ve successfully undergone the All-on-4 procedure. However, we’ve also advised some patients to consider other options based on their specific circumstances.

So, the best way to know for sure if All-on-4 is right for you is through a comprehensive consultation. At Dental House Group, we go through a thorough evaluation that includes dental history, oral exams, 3D scans, and all the necessary scans.

If you’re interested in potentially saying goodbye to dentures and moving towards a more fixed solution, we’d love to look after you.

Here at Dental House Group, we have purpose-built General Anesthetic facilities. We offer flexible payment plans, and one of our treatment coordinators can guide you through the process of applying for an early release of your super, so you can get your smile back faster!

Simply give us a call on 1800 GENTLE, DM us on social media, or complete the form on our website, and we’ll help you organise your consultation.
