Patients with many missing teeth face a choice between replacing individual teeth with single implants or opting for a full-arch solution such as All-on-4. The right option depends on bone volume, the number of remaining teeth and personal priorities around treatment time.
All-on-4: A Full Arch on Four Implants
All-on-4 uses four strategically placed implants per jaw to support a fixed full-arch restoration, which can often be fitted with a temporary bridge shortly after surgery, subject to the treating clinic's clinical assessment.
Single Implants: Treating Tooth by Tooth
Single implants replace one tooth at a time and can be the more conservative option when only a few teeth are missing and enough healthy bone remains. They usually involve a longer overall timeline if several teeth need replacing.
Which Option Fits You?
A 3D scan and clinical examination by the treating partner clinic is the only reliable way to determine which approach suits your bone structure, budget and travel plans. Ask for a written comparison of both options before deciding.
