AO4 Smile™ Implants Treatment Stages
Innovative Treatment and System Exclusively for AO4 Smile™ Implants
The AO4 Smile™ Implants utilises cutting-edge methods and technologies to create Immediate Final Teeth, ensuring precise control over implant therapy outcomes. This is achieved through hygienic interfaces, minimised bulk, and the delivery of a resilient final restoration featuring a milled titanium frame within 24 hours of the implant surgery.
Step 1: Consultation
To thoroughly examine your possibilities and determine your eligibility for AO4 Smile™ Implants, we will need to acquire specific X-rays, including a 3D CT scan. These X-rays are conveniently accessible at most of our clinic locations and can be conducted on the same day as your consultation.
Following a comprehensive exploration of your options, associated risks, and benefits, if AO4 Smile™ Implants is deemed suitable as your preferred treatment, we will furnish you with a comprehensive treatment proposal and cost estimate for your consideration and discussion with your partner and family.
Step 2: Treatment Planning And Design
A key part of treatment planning is the digital design of your prosthesis. Using 3D imaging technology and advanced CAD software, your prosthodontist will digitally map out your new smile. Factors like your unique facial structure, bone anatomy, and implant positioning will all be incorporated into the design.
This digital planning allows your prosthesis to be precision-crafted for optimal function, comfort, and natural aesthetics. You’ll be able to review the digital renderings and provide feedback before the design is finalised.
The treatment planning and digital design process lays the groundwork for your successful, long-lasting AO4 Smile™ transformation. Our team will make sure every detail is covered.
Step 3: Surgery & Same-Day Try-In
Implant Surgery
A senior implant surgeon or a team of specialists from AO4 Smile™ Implants, possessing extensive expertise in implant procedures and smile design, will conduct your surgery.
After the extraction of teeth, if necessary, the jawbone undergoes reshaping, and the implants are meticulously placed based on a predetermined plan. The incisions are subsequently closed using dissolvable sutures, and impressions of the implants are captured for the subsequent phase.
General Anaesthetic
Your surgery is usually conducted while you are in a state of general anesthesia or under sedation, depending on your preference and the recommendation of the surgeon.
Qualified specialist anesthetists, supported by trained anesthesia assistants, oversee all procedures involving general anesthesia.
As part of the AO4 Smile™ Implants standard of care, the utilisation of Brain Wave Monitors, when appropriate, and other advanced equipment ensures precise monitoring of the depth of your sleep throughout the treatment. This guarantees the accurate and efficient administration of anesthesia, promoting the quickest possible recovery and minimising postoperative side effects.
Same Day Try-In
The laboratory employs digital modelling to create a template of the planned teeth, allowing for the digital design in your mouth to be tested within hours of your surgery. Any necessary adjustments are then made based on your input. This provides you with the opportunity to preview the appearance of your teeth before they are sent to our Australian-made production facility.
Step 4: Unveiling the Transformation
The emotional moment of revelation typically occurs the next day, and it’s a significant experience for both you and us. We recommend bringing some tissues. We take pride in every incredible transformation and eagerly anticipate witnessing your smile as you become a part of our legacy.
