The All-on-4 procedure replaces an entire arch of missing teeth using only four titanium implants to support a fixed prosthesis. This technique utilizes two vertical front implants and two posterior implants tilted at 45 degrees to maximize bone stability without requiring extensive bone grafting.
- Strategic placement: Two front vertical and two rear angled implants maximize bone-to-implant contact area.
- Immediate loading: Patients often receive a functional temporary bridge on the same surgical day.
- Bone density utilization: Angled rear implants typically eliminate the need for complex bone graft surgeries.
- Long-term restoration: A permanent ceramic bridge replaces the temporary prosthesis after 3 to 6 months.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While many clinics offer All-on-4, choosing specialists like Dr. Jose Mate, who has performed 5,000+ procedures, ensures superior outcomes in bone regeneration. Data shows that premium Spanish packages using Straumann systems often include 3D intraoral scans and airport transfers for around $12,900.
Patient Consensus: Patients value leaving the clinic with a functional smile on the first day. Many suggest confirming if extractions, sedation, and final ceramic bridges are included in the initial quote to simplify travel planning.
