Are You a Candidate for All-on-4? Everything You Need to Know

Are You a Candidate for All-on-4?

Introduction

Many people think they are not suitable for dental implants because they have worn dentures for years or have been told they have bone loss. In reality, many patients may still be candidates for All-on-4 after a full clinical assessment.

Who Is It For?

All-on-4 may suit people with multiple missing or failing teeth, loose dentures or those seeking a fixed alternative to removable teeth.

Assessment Process

Your clinician will review your medical history, examine your mouth, assess gum health, evaluate bone levels using X-rays or CT scans and discuss your goals before recommending treatment.

Bone Loss

Reduced bone does not automatically rule out All-on-4. The technique is designed to maximise available bone, although every case is unique.

Medical & Lifestyle Factors

General health, smoking, diabetes, oral hygiene and regular maintenance all influence implant success and treatment planning.

If You Are Not Suitable

Alternative options such as All-on-6, conventional implants or dentures may be discussed depending on your individual circumstances.

FAQs

Am I too old? Age alone is rarely the deciding factor.
Can smokers have All-on-4? Smoking increases risk but does not always prevent treatment.
Do I need a CT scan? Advanced imaging is commonly used for planning.
