All-on-4 and full-arch implants in Fourways
Full-arch treatment involves surgery, a temporary bridge, months of healing and a final bridge. Here is how people in Fourways can plan for it.
Travel for a full-arch plan
Fewer practices advertise implant treatment in Fourways than in Sandton, according to the listings we reviewed, so some Fourways residents consider practices further south. For full-arch treatment that matters more than for a single tooth: there is a long surgery day, a series of reviews in the first weeks, and several visits for the final bridge.
Ask for the full appointment schedule up front. If the early reviews fall in the days right after surgery, think about who will drive you, because you may not feel like driving yourself.
Sharing care closer to home
Once the final bridge is fitted, routine check-ups and hygiene visits may be possible with a dentist closer to home, with periodic reviews at the treating practice. Whether that works depends on the practitioners involved. Ask both how they would share records and responsibilities, and who you should call if a problem arises.
What a full-arch quote includes
- Records, scans and planning.
- Extractions and any grafting on the day.
- The implants and the components that connect them to the bridge.
- Anaesthesia, and any theatre or anaesthetist accounts.
- The temporary bridge.
- The final bridge and its laboratory work.
- Maintenance visits after the final bridge.
See the general full-arch page and the Fourways area page.
