All-on-4 (Single Arch)
All-on-4 (Single Arch)
All-on-4 restores a complete arch of teeth on just four implants, with same-day temporary teeth made possible by 3D-guided surgery - our flagship full-arch solution for a fixed, confident smile.
All-on-4 is a fixed full-arch restoration that rebuilds an entire upper or lower jaw on just four strategically placed implants. Rather than replacing each missing tooth individually, the two front implants are positioned vertically and the two back implants are angled to engage more of your available bone, which often avoids the need for separate bone grafting. A single fixed bridge of new teeth is then anchored onto those four implants, giving you a stable arch that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth - not a removable denture.
Every case begins with a 3D CBCT scan and digital planning, so the implant positions are mapped precisely before surgery and a temporary fixed bridge can be placed the same day in suitable cases. We use trusted implant systems including Straumann, alongside premium prosthetic components and materials such as Biodem and ETK, chosen to balance long-term reliability with a natural aesthetic result. After a healing period of several months, your same-day temporary bridge is replaced with the definitive full-arch bridge, custom-crafted for your bite, lip support, and smile line. Treatment is led by our experienced implant team to premium quality standards.
This is the right solution for patients who are missing most or all of the teeth in one jaw, or who are facing - or already struggling with - a full removable denture. For international patients, we make the journey straightforward: send us your CBCT or panoramic X-ray and a few photos, and we return a free, written remote treatment plan within 24-48 hours, so you arrive in Tirana knowing exactly what to expect, how many visits you need, and what your new smile will involve.
Expect mild swelling and tenderness for a few days after placement, managed easily with standard medication and a soft-food diet while your implants heal. We guide you through cleaning your new bridge and stay in contact remotely between your two visits until the final bridge is fitted.
Ideal für: Patients missing most or all teeth in one jaw, or facing full dentures, who want a fixed, natural-looking smile.

Der Ablauf
Schritt für Schritt
Free remote plan & CBCT
Send an X-ray or CBCT and photos for a written plan, then have a 3D scan on arrival that maps your bone, nerves and sinuses.
Digital surgical planning
Four implants are planned on-screen, the two rear ones tilted to engage solid bone and, in most cases, avoid the need for grafting.
Comfort & anaesthesia
Local anaesthetic keeps you comfortable; IV sedation by an anaesthesiologist is available for anxious patients or longer sessions.
Extractions, if needed
Any failing teeth are removed in the same appointment, so treatment stays within one surgical visit.
Four-implant placement
The implants are placed to the digital plan, angled for maximum contact with your available bone.
Same-day fixed temporaries
In suitable cases a fixed provisional bridge goes in the same day, you leave with a full smile while the implants heal.
Healing & osseointegration
The implants fuse to bone over three to six months; you return home with your temporaries and full aftercare support.
Definitive bridge
On your second trip the final zirconia or layered-ceramic bridge is designed, fitted and bite-balanced, then secured for the long term.
Eignung
Für wen ist diese Behandlung?
You've lost, or are about to lose, a full arch
If most or all of the teeth in a jaw are missing, failing or unrestorable, a full-arch implant bridge rebuilds the whole arch on a fixed foundation rather than replacing teeth one by one.
You wear, or dread, a denture
If you have a removable denture that moves, clicks or affects your taste and confidence, a fixed implant bridge is the definitive way to have teeth that stay put.
You have enough bone, or can be grafted
Six well-distributed implants need adequate bone. Your CBCT scan tells us precisely; where volume is short, a graft or sinus lift, or angled placement, often makes treatment possible anyway.
You're generally healthy enough for oral surgery
Most adults are suitable. Well-controlled conditions such as diabetes are usually fine; we simply review your medical history and medications carefully during planning.
You want a permanent result, not a temporary fix
Full-arch implants are for patients who want to invest once in fixed, natural-feeling teeth that last for many years, rather than repeatedly adjusting or remaking a denture.
Heilung
Heilung & Erholung
Day of surgery
You rest for a short while after placement, then leave, in suitable cases, with a fixed temporary bridge already in place. Expect some numbness that wears off, and follow the simple bite, cold-compress and medication instructions we hand you in writing.
Days 1–3
Swelling and mild bruising peak around day two or three and are completely normal. You keep to a soft, lukewarm diet, avoid the surgical area when brushing, and take any prescribed anti-inflammatories and antibiotics exactly as directed.
Days 4–7
Swelling begins to settle and most patients feel noticeably more themselves. You can usually fly home in this window; your coordinator times your return flight so you travel comfortably rather than the day after surgery.
Weeks 2–4
The gum tissue heals over the implants and any sutures are removed or dissolve. You gradually reintroduce a wider range of soft foods while still protecting the temporary bridge from hard or sticky items.
Months 2–3
Osseointegration is well underway, the bone is bonding directly to the implant surfaces. There is little to feel day to day; you simply keep the area impeccably clean and attend or send in any check we ask for.
Months 3–6
The implants reach full integration and are ready to carry your definitive bridge. This is the biological reason full-arch treatment is normally split into two trips rather than rushed.
Month 6+, final teeth
You return for the design and fitting of your permanent bridge in premium zirconia or layered ceramic, the strong, lifelike teeth you keep for the long term, fully documented in your treatment records.
Gut zu wissen
Vergleiche & Hinweise
All-on-4 vs All-on-6
All-on-4 rebuilds a full arch on four implants and is the ideal, well-documented solution where bone is limited, the tilted rear implants often remove the need for grafting entirely. All-on-6 adds two implants for extra strength where the bone allows. Both are excellent; your CBCT scan and bite decide which we recommend, and we're honest about it.
All-on-4 vs a removable denture
All-on-4 is fixed, it stays in, feels close to natural teeth and preserves jawbone by loading it. A denture is removable, can slip, and lets bone shrink over time. For most patients, moving from a denture to a fixed All-on-4 bridge is genuinely life-changing.
Nachsorge
Pflege Ihres Ergebnisses
Brush twice daily
Clean your fixed bridge morning and night with a soft brush, exactly as you would natural teeth, paying attention to where the bridge meets the gum.
Clean underneath the bridge
A water flosser and super-floss are your most important tools, they clear food and plaque from beneath the bridge, which a normal brush cannot reach. We show you the technique before you leave.
Antimicrobial rinse
A short course of an antibacterial mouthrinse after surgery, and occasional use afterwards, helps keep the gum tissue around your implants healthy.
Professional maintenance
Have your bridge and implants professionally checked and cleaned at least once a year. We can coordinate this with a dentist near your home between visits to us.
Protect against overload
Avoid biting genuinely hard objects (ice, pens, bottle tops). If you grind or clench at night, we make a protective nightguard, the single best way to extend the life of the work.
Watch for warning signs
Bleeding, persistent soreness, a loose feeling or an unusual smell are all reasons to contact us promptly. Caught early, almost every issue is simple to resolve.
Planung
Ihr Plan & Transparenz
Full-arch implant treatment is planned around your needs, the plan depends on the number of implants, whether any extractions or grafting are needed, and the material of your final bridge (premium zirconia versus layered ceramic). What never changes is our transparency: you receive a single, clear written treatment plan up front, in your language, with nothing hidden or added later. The honest answer is that it depends on your jaw, your bone and the materials you choose, so we give you a clear, personalised written treatment plan within 24–48 hours, with no obligation, once you send a panoramic X-ray or CBCT and a few photos.

Häufig gestellt
Fragen zu all-on-4 (single arch)
Can I get teeth on the same day?+
In most cases, yes - a fixed temporary bridge is placed the same day, with your final bridge fitted after healing.
How many trips to Albania will I need?+
Typically two: the first for placement with same-day temporaries, then a second for the final bridge once your implants have healed. We map your exact plan in your free remote treatment plan.
Will I need a bone graft?+
Often not - by angling the rear implants, All-on-4 is specifically designed to use your existing bone and frequently avoids separate grafting. Your CBCT scan tells us for certain before you travel.
What implants and materials do you use?+
We work with trusted systems including Straumann, together with premium prosthetic materials such as Biodem and ETK, all selected for long-term durability and a natural look.
How do I get a treatment plan before traveling?+
