All-on-4 Dental Implants in India: Same-Day Teeth Explained

Introduction

Imagine walking into a clinic with failing teeth or dentures and walking out just days later with a full, fixed set of pearly whites. This isn't science fiction—it's the All-on-4® Dental Implant protocol, one of the most sought-after treatments in medical tourism today.

What is All-on-4?

The All-on-4 concept is a surgical technique that replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four titanium implants.

• Two anterior implants are placed vertically.
• Two posterior implants are tilted at 45 degrees.

Why the tilt? This angulation allows the implants to anchor into better quality bone, often eliminating the need for expensive and painful bone grafts.

The "Same-Day Teeth" Advantage

One of the biggest draws is Immediate Loading. Unlike traditional implants that require 3-6 months of healing before you get teeth, All-on-4 allows for a provisional bridge to be fixed within 72 hours of surgery. This means you never have to be without teeth during your trip.

The Steps: Your Trip Timeline

If you are planning a trip to India for this, here is a typical schedule:

1. Day 1: Consultation & Diagnostics: You arrive, meet your implantologist, and get a 3D CBCT scan to map your nerves and bone structure.
2. Day 2: The Surgery: Under local anesthesia or sedation, any remaining bad teeth are removed, and the 4 implants are placed. Measurements are taken.
3. Day 3: Trial: A wax mockup of your new teeth is tested for bite and aesthetics.
4. Day 4: Delivery: Your high-quality provisional bridge is screwed in. You can bite into an apple (carefully!) and smile with confidence.

Is It Right For You?

All-on-4 is ideal if:

• You currently wear dentures and hate them (slipping, reduced taste).
• You have widespread gum disease or tooth decay.
• You have been told you have "low bone volume" for traditional implants.

Cost Benefit

In the US, an All-on-4 arch costs $25,000+. In India, high-end clinics using genuine Nobel Biocare or Straumann implants charge between $3,500 and $8,000, including the prosthesis.
