All-on-4®
A fixed bridge on four implants – for a whole jaw.
What is All-on-4®?
With All-on-4®, four implants carry a screw-retained bridge for the entire upper or lower jaw. It suits patients missing many teeth or replacing a full denture – on implants from Medentis ICX or Nobel Biocare, with a titanium or zirconia framework.

FAQ
The bridge is firmly screwed in place and does not move – it is precisely because a full denture moves that getting used to one often takes longer. Like natural tooth roots, the implants also stimulate bone formation and so prevent bone loss.
The 3D X-ray (CBCT) shows how much bone you have, in width and height. This lets us position the four implants precisely in the jawbone.
Usually 3 to 6 months until the final bridge. General anaesthesia is possible and charged separately.
Usually not. Where necessary, we use local anaesthesia. For anxious patients we also offer treatment under general anaesthesia.

Usually within the same week – and on the same day if you are in pain. We offer emergency treatment Monday to Saturday until 21:00.
