All on 4 method helps reduce full jaw implant cost

The All on 4 method offers cost savings by reducing implant numbers and eliminating bone transplants, requiring only four pillars to mount fake teeth onto the jaw.

In some cases, the jawbone lacks the solidity and density required to support the implant. Hence, a bone transplant can become a necessary step before planting a tooth.

However, with all-on-4’s advantage of using fewer implants, it reduces or even eliminates the need for complex bone transplants since implants are placed in the right positions in consideration of the bone.

This method creates a new step forward, as the majority of full jaw implant patients are elderly people and people who have lost their teeth for many years, thus suffering a high chance of bone resorption.

The limitations of bone transplants assist in saving both time and costs related to the treatment and bone regeneration. Therefore, the patient could avoid a cumbersome and unnecessarily high-cost treatment.

With All on 4 Implant , the number of appointments and post-surgical follow-up tends to be lower than other methods. This helps patients save on consulting costs and costs associated with monitoring the condition of the implant after surgery.

This implant method was innovated and developed by Professor Paulo Malo, a known Portuguese dentist and founder of the Malo Clinic. His goal was to create a highly efficient, cost-effective, and patient-friendly dental method.

The breakthrough of all on 4 has not only led it to be a widely favored method but also a global standard solution in dental implantation that is mentioned in training sessions on implants across the globe, including the training program on implant implantation at Harvard University.

According to Professor Malo, even though the All on 4 technique was recognized for succeeding in almost all cases of full jaw tooth loss, it is crucial to only trust reputable medical facilities within the Malo Dental System or doctors who have been trained directly under Professor Malo and his colleagues.

“The all on 4 concept is not a concept as simple as placing 4 implant pillars on the jaw; it is a whole process that starts with planning, then preparing the bone, placing the pillars, and the making of a porcelain tooth. All of these elements must be harmonized in the right way to give the patient not only the ability to chew but also the aesthetic of the mouth area,” he said.

In Vietnam, the SaigonDentomaxillofacial Hospital is a partner of the Malo Dental System, as members have been trained to perform the All on 4 implant by the “father” of this method himself, Professor Paulo Malo.

Aside from this, the hospital is also equipped with a positive pressure room (which is a specialized room for surgery) to avoid cross-infection and infection during the implant implantation process, in line with the strict requirements of surgery.

The SaigonDentomaxillofacial Hospital is a private medical facility that is licensed by the Ministry of Health. In addition to a team of skilled, experienced doctors, the hospital also collaborates with leading professionals in the training field, such as Dr. Dong Seok Sohn, Chairman, Professor, and founding president of the World Academy of Ultrasonic Piezoelectric Bone Surgery, and Professor Paulo Malo, the founding father of the All on 4 implant method that improves the technical work for staff.

At the same time, the hospital owns advanced treatment technologies and a positive pressure room that meets the requirements for implant implantation.
