The All-on-4 Treatment Concept
The All-on-4 treatment concept offers a fast and effective solution for full-arch tooth replacement using only four implants per jaw — even in cases of reduced bone density. The implants are strategically positioned in the jawbone to support a complete set of teeth, ensuring maximum stability, function, and comfort. This innovative approach allows for shorter treatment times, minimally invasive procedures, and immediate implant loading — so patients can enjoy fixed teeth much sooner. Our experienced team of dentists and dental technicians works closely together to provide first-class care and ensure that you leave our clinic with a confident, radiant smile.
Advantages of Implant-Supported Dentures Over Traditional Dentures
Implant-supported dentures offer a superior alternative to conventional full dentures. They are securely anchored in the jaw, preventing movement or slipping, and provide greater comfort, chewing efficiency, and a natural look and feel. Their realistic appearance boosts confidence and enhances overall quality of life. At Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling, we use state-of-the-art techniques and premium materials to deliver outstanding aesthetic and functional results.
Who Is a Candidate for the All-on-4 Concept
The All-on-4 method is an ideal solution for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth. At Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling, we offer comprehensive consultations to determine whether this treatment is suitable for you. The procedure is especially recommended for patients with sufficient bone structure and good overall health. If necessary, a bone augmentation can be performed to create optimal conditions for implant placement. Our experienced dentists carefully evaluate your individual requirements and provide personalized guidance throughout the entire process.
Before treatment, your medical history and overall health are thoroughly assessed to rule out any potential risks. A detailed examination and anamnesis are part of our diagnostic process. There are no strict age limits for the All-on-4 treatment concept — what matters most is good general health and a stable jawbone.

Different types of all-ceramic dental restorations offer unique advantages. Fixed restorations provide maximum stability, while removable options offer more flexibility. At Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling, we offer both solutions — fully tailored to your individual needs and preferences.
Fixed Dental Restorations (Screw-Retained)
Fixed dental restorations are securely screw-retained on dental implants, offering maximum stability and comfort. This solution is ideal for patients seeking a permanent and reliable tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. The materials used are durable, high-quality, and designed to withstand daily use. The most common materials for fixed implant restorations include: All-Ceramic (Full Ceramic): Provides outstanding aesthetics and closely resembles the natural tooth structure. Ceramic is biocompatible, metal-free, and hypoallergenic. Titanium: Frequently used for the implant base due to its exceptional strength and biocompatibility. It is often combined with ceramic to achieve both functional and aesthetic excellence.
Benefits and Applications
Fixed restorations are ideal for patients who want a long-term, stable, and comfortable solution. They offer excellent functionality, easy maintenance, and a natural appearance. Our experienced dentists will guide you in selecting the best treatment option for your individual needs.
Comfort and Stability
Screw-retained restorations fit securely and precisely, ensuring optimal comfort and no movement while eating or speaking. This allows you to enjoy food, conversation, and laughter again — with complete confidence in your smile.
Removable Dental Restorations (Bar-Retained Dentures)
Removable dental restorations are attached to a bar structure anchored to dental implants. This solution offers flexibility, easy maintenance, and a high level of comfort. Many bar-retained systems are made from metal alloys, such as cobalt-chromium or pure titanium, which are both lightweight and highly durable. The artificial teeth, mounted on the denture base, are often made of ceramic or composite materials, offering excellent aesthetics and high wear resistance. At Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling, we provide custom-made solutions tailored to your individual dental and aesthetic needs.
Benefits and Applications
Removable restorations are ideal for patients seeking a flexible and easy-to-clean option for tooth replacement. This type of denture can be easily removed and reinserted, providing comfort and convenience in daily life.
Flexibility and Easy Maintenance
This restoration can be removed and cleaned effortlessly, making oral hygiene simple and efficient. Our patients particularly value the user-friendly design and the adaptability of this solution.

Temporary Restorations and Final Prosthetics
During the treatment phase, we ensure that you are never without teeth. You will receive a temporary restoration while your final prosthesis is being crafted. Once completed, the final restoration is fitted precisely, offering maximum comfort and a natural aesthetic appearance. Our patients particularly appreciate the efficiency, precision, and quality of our in-house work.
Consult our experts →Treatment Process
The All-on-4 treatment process is divided into several clearly structured steps to ensure you receive the best possible care.
Here’s how we help you restore your smile with precision, comfort, and confidence.
Initial Consultation and Digital Planning (CBCT Scan)
During the initial consultation, our experienced dentists thoroughly examine your oral health, take X-rays, and record your medical history (anamnesis). We also assess your jawbone structure using a Digital Volume Tomography (CBCT) scan to determine the ideal implant positions. A detailed treatment plan and cost estimate provide full transparency regarding the procedure and pricing. In the planning phase, we use advanced technologies such as CAD/CAM systems, digital planning software, and 3D printing to ensure a precise and individualized approach. Through backward planning, we first define the optimal tooth positions digitally and then plan the implant placement accordingly. If bone volume is insufficient, a bone augmentation procedure may be planned in advance.
Implant Placement
After the planning phase, each implant is precisely inserted into the jawbone. Thanks to computer-guided (navigated) implant placement, the implants are positioned with maximum accuracy for optimal stability and function. Immediately after surgery, a temporary prosthesis is fitted — ensuring that you never leave the clinic without teeth.
Healing Phase
In the days following surgery, avoid hard or sticky foods to support the healing process. If you experience inflammation, pain, or other symptoms, contact our clinic immediately. We recommend using cool compresses to minimize swelling and following the prescribed medication schedule closely. The osseointegration phase typically lasts several months, during which the implants fuse securely with the jawbone. You will continue wearing your temporary prosthesis during this time. Regular check-ups at our clinic are essential to monitor progress and ensure everything is healing as planned.
Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, the final restoration is placed. An abutment (connector piece) is attached to each implant, and your custom-made prosthesis is mounted on top. Thanks to our in-house dental laboratory and modern 3D printing technology, we can deliver high-precision, aesthetic restorations tailored specifically to you. No patient leaves our clinic without a provisional restoration — ensuring you always have a confident smile throughout the entire process.
Regular Check-Ups and Oral Hygiene
Proper aftercare is essential for the long-term success of your implants. Immediately after the procedure, clean the surgical area gently with a soft toothbrush and avoid unnecessary pressure. Using antiseptic mouth rinses (e.g., containing chlorhexidine) helps prevent infection. To ensure lasting results, maintain excellent oral hygiene, schedule regular professional cleanings, and attend all follow-up appointments at our clinic.
Care and Maintenance of Dental Prosthetics
Proper care and maintenance of your dental prosthetics are essential for long-term durability and optimal oral health.
-
Daily oral hygiene is crucial: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Use dental floss or interdental brushes to thoroughly clean around the implants and under the prosthesis. Antiseptic mouth rinses can help reduce bacteria and prevent inflammation around the implant area.
- Regular check-up appointments at our clinic are equally important. During these visits, we monitor the condition of your implants, gum health, and prosthesis fit. If necessary, our team will make precise adjustments to ensure continued comfort and stability. We also recommend scheduling professional dental cleanings at least twice a year. These cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, keeping your gums healthy and your implants in perfect condition.

The All-on-4 concept is a modern dental implant technique in which a full dental bridge is supported by only four implants per jaw. This innovative method offers a stable, long-lasting, and highly aesthetic solution for patients who have lost all teeth in one jaw or require extensive dental restoration.
Stability and Comfort:
The prosthesis is securely anchored on four implants, preventing movement and ensuring maximum comfort.
Aesthetics:
All-on-4 prostheses look natural and are almost indistinguishable from real teeth.
Durability:
With proper care, fixed All-on-4 prostheses can last for many years.
Immediate Improvement in Quality of Life:
In many cases, patients can eat and speak normally shortly after the procedure.
The All-on-4 treatment consists of several key steps:
Initial Consultation and Diagnosis:
A thorough dental examination and consultation to assess your individual needs.
Planning and Preparation:
Detailed 3D planning of implant positions using digital imaging and CAD/CAM technology.
Implant Placement:
Precise insertion of four implants into the jawbone.
Immediate Provisional Restoration:
In many cases, a temporary prosthesis is fitted on the same day.
Healing Phase:
The implants fuse with the jawbone over approximately 3–6 months.
Final Restoration:
After healing, the permanent prosthesis is fabricated and securely attached.
Regular Check-ups:
Ongoing examinations to ensure implant stability and oral health.
The All-on-4 method is ideal for patients who have lost all teeth in one jaw or have severely damaged teeth. Sufficient bone structure and good general health are essential for the success of the treatment.
There are no strict age limits. Both younger and older patients can benefit from the All-on-4 concept, provided they meet the medical and dental health requirements.
The cost of All-on-4 dental implants varies depending on your individual treatment plan. At Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling, we offer a detailed consultation and examination to provide you with a transparent and personalized cost estimate.
In most cases, the cost of implant-supported prostheses is not fully covered by health insurance. Partial reimbursement may be possible if there is a medical necessity. Our team will gladly advise you on financing options.
Caring for your All-on-4 prosthesis is simple and similar to caring for natural teeth:
Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush and mild toothpaste.
Use floss, interdental brushes, or a water flosser to clean around implants.
Attend regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings to maintain long-term oral health.
At Dental Clinic Vienna Döbling, all prostheses are produced in our own dental laboratory, offering several benefits:
Strict Quality Control: Each prosthesis is custom-made and undergoes thorough quality checks.
Short Production Times: On-site manufacturing allows for quick adjustments and faster delivery.
Customized Precision: Each prosthesis is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic preferences.
In most cases, patients can consume soft foods on the same day as their temporary prosthesis placement. Your dentist will provide detailed instructions on what foods to avoid during the healing phase.
With proper care and regular dental visits, All-on-4 prostheses can last many years or even decades. The implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime when maintained correctly.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, such as infection, implant failure, or minor bone irritation. However, these are rare and can be minimized through careful planning, precise surgery, and regular aftercare.
Yes, but smoking can increase the risk of complications and delay healing. It is strongly recommended to stop smoking before and after surgery to ensure the best possible results.
