Frequently Asked Questions for Sunbury Patients

What is All-On-4 Plus® treatment?
All-On-4 Plus® uses four strategically placed implants per arch to support a fixed full-arch prosthetic. This provides a non-removable solution for complete tooth replacement. The technique uses angled posterior implants to maximize bone contact and avoid anatomical structures.

How does All-On-4 Plus® differ from regular dentures?
All-On-4 Plus® provides fixed teeth that don’t require removal, offering improved stability and function compared to removable dentures. However, it requires surgery, extended treatment time, higher cost, and diligent maintenance. Not all patients are suitable candidates.

What is the success rate of All-On-4 Plus®?
Success rates vary based on individual factors. Implants may fail to integrate or develop complications requiring additional treatment. Long-term success depends on bone quality, oral hygiene, medical conditions, and regular professional monitoring. Prosthetic components require periodic maintenance and eventual replacement.
