WHAT IS ALL-ON-4/6?
At Colombo & Silva Dental Clinic the all-on-4 procedure is a complete recovery of the upper and/or lower arch using dental implants and a fixed prosthesis on them, it is normally developed specifically for you, without using pre-existing models or moulds. The permanent prosthesis is developed in several stages and can be built with different types of material, meeting your needs, such as Acrylic, High-Aesthetics or Ceramics.
The All-on-4 is a painless surgical procedure, thanks to the cutting-edge technology we use in our clinic and high-quality materials.
The all-on-4 is a procedure known for the rapid placement of fixed (temporary) prostheses our surgeons, specialists in rehabilitation, treat and replace your dentition in only two days (surgery and installation). This procedure always requires an assessment and preparation appointment.
The absence of teeth in our mouth conditions our quality of life and health. Not only is the ability to chew lost, but it also affects both our speech and our appearance, often making us look much older.
Colombo e Silva, as a specialist clinic in implant placement and oral rehabilitation, will help you to recover your smile and quality of life.

Dental implants can improve your self-esteem, your confidence and eliminate problems with speech, chewing certain foods and much more.

When teeth are lost, whether through illness or accident, considering a dental implant solution can be a viable alternative. This technique consists of placement of dental implants (usually 4 per arch) and a temporary fixed prosthesis* (previously designed and tailored to each patient). This provisional prosthesis will remain throughout the Healing period (4 to 6 months) until the placement of the definitive prosthesis which, after healing is completed, its preparation begins. all this work will be developed and carried out together with the patient, through several tests until reaching a completely satisfactory result for the patient.
*Dental implants may or may not allow load to fix the temporary prosthesis. These cases only occur during the healing period, and do not compromise the success of the treatment in any way.

Before starting any treatment, you will have an assessment with one of our specialists to ensure that there is enough bone structure to place the implants or if you need to have a bone graft done in the first place. At this point, it may be necessary to take x-rays or CT scans to obtain the necessary information. O procedure will be successful due to the planning and in-depth work that is done before implant placement. We are proud of our high success rate with dental implant cases.
Before the surgical procedure, a temporary prosthesis will be made for placement right after the surgery, so that our patients do not have teeth during the healing period. When making the prosthesis, we can immediately make improvements at an aesthetic level, according to your needs and start your entire change process.
In the surgical procedure, the surgeon will make small cuts in the gum for the titanium implants to be placed. The temporary prosthesis will be placed on these implants.
Once the osseointegration process is completed, the treatment can proceed.
The definitive prosthesis will be placed after the healing period and its complete fabrication (period depending on the number of tests until the patient and doctor are satisfied). Dental implants are functional and aesthetically it is not clear that you are wearing a prosthesis, which is due to their naturalness.

Caring for your newly placed implants will be an easy process. ÇYou will continue to do your hygiene with a standard standard toothbrush and floss. You will receive all instructions on how to care for your new implanted teeth. Will be done also regular check-ups so that you can check the status of the implants and carry out a deeper cleaning of your prosthesis.
Removable prostheses fit over the gums and remain in place only with suction or with the use of a specific glue. The fixed prostheses (ALL – ON – 4/6) are fitted onto the implants and fixed, which does not require any use of glue for this purpose.
One of the problems in the use of removable prostheses is related to the fact that the supporting bone is absorbed, over time, because of the absence of teeth. This will cause the dentures to fall out and not be supported to hold, which means they will have to be replaced regularly to avoid discomfort and problems when eating. Removable dentures also increase the rate of bone loss.
The upper removable prosthesis covers the complete roof of the mouth and the lower one is horseshoe shaped to allow space for the tongue. Cleaning is usually done overnight (hence the cliché of “false teeth” in a glass of water on the bedside table).
Fixed dentures are custom-made so that they fit precisely in the patient's mouth. and should act like natural teeth in terms of appearance, chewability and comfort. There is no risk of them moving around while talking or eating.
Removable prostheses offer a clear cost advantage over any type of implant, however they need to be replaced, on average, once every five years.
