The process of placing 8 dental implants at certain angles to toothless patients and fixing dental prostheses on these implants is called all on 8 implant application. In this treatment, a titanium screw system is used. During the application, 8 implants are placed, 4 in the back and 4 in the place where the jawbone is thickest.
With this application, only 8 implants are used on a toothless jaw and thus fixed prostheses can be placed in place of the lost teeth. Implants placed in the front part are placed in their places in such a way that they are the most stable with 90 degrees and 45 degrees on the back. In this treatment, fixed prostheses prepared after implant placement are permanently inserted into the mouth after 3 months. Recovery after All-on-8 Dental Implants may be slightly longer than other implant treatments. This period is usually between 2 and 3 months.

How is the recovery process after All-on-8 Dental Implants?
At the beginning of treatment, a jaw tomography is taken from the patient and its suitability for implants is evaluated. In appropriate patients, implants are planned in the implant simulation program, jaw measurements are taken from the patient and treatment is started with the prosthesis stage. After 1 week, after checking the shape compliance and function of the new prostheses, the patient is taken to the implant operation.
After the implants are inserted, the implants are measured with the prostheses that have been prepared and sent to the laboratory. Within 2 days, the implant slots are prepared in the prosthesis and ready to be fixed to the mouth. A prosthesis is a prosthesis that is installed and removed only by a doctor and is attached to the implants with screws. After 4 months, when the patient undergoing all on 8 dental implant treatment is called back for fixed veneer treatment, the screwed prosthesis is removed and the treatment is completed with the final fixed restoration of the patient within 1 week
