Author: <strong>Dr. Shailaja Reddy<\/strong>\n        <\/span>\n\n        <span class=\"fms-a4-meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n\n        <span>\n          Last verified <strong>October 2026<\/strong>\n        <\/span>\n      <\/div>\n\n      <div class=\"fms-a4-copy\">\n\n        <p>\n          All-on-4 implant has become a popular option for people who have\n          lost most of their teeth and want a full set of fixed teeth without\n          going through bone grafting. The concept uses 4 strategically\n          placed implants to support a fixed full set of teeth. However,\n          there are two different narratives of the protocol. Some describe\n          All-on-4 as a life changing, near permanent and\/or only solution.\n          And the other version, stories of broken bridges, loose implants\n          and regrets following implant failure.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          The truth is that All-on-4 can be a very successful treatment,\n          but it is not the right treatment for everyone. Long-term follow-up\n          studies that extend beyond two decades, report high overall\n          survival rates. At the same time, a small but genuine proportion\n          of cases experience failure, often in association with identifiable\n          risk factors. This is why experience and patient selection matter\n          as much as the procedure itself.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          At FMS Dental, All-on-4 has been a part of the implant programme\n          since 2008. Dr. Shailaja Reddy, co-founder &amp; chief Implantologist\n          at FMS Dental, was among the early clinicians to introduce the\n          treatment in India, after training directly under Dr. Paulo Mal\u00f3,\n          the originator of the technique. Her clinical experience and\n          knowledge have contributed to the development of FMS Dental as\n          an All-on-4 Centre for Excellence. Even though at FMS Dental we\n          have placed more than 25,000 dental implants with a documented\n          success rate of 98.6%, success is not measured by these numbers.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p>\n          It is about making sure those implants remain\n          <strong>healthy, comfortable, easy to clean and functional for many years<\/strong>.\n        <\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n

The concern\n    is when symptoms do not subside or follow the expected healing pattern,\n    or maybe appear months or years later.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p class=\"a4fs-list-title\">\n    Patients should have an implant assessment if they notice:\n  <\/p>\n\n  <ul class=\"a4fs-symptoms\">\n    <li>pain that persists or increases<\/li>\n    <li>swelling that returns after settling<\/li>\n    <li>pus or discharge<\/li>\n    <li>repeated bleeding<\/li>\n    <li>a persistent bad taste<\/li>\n    <li>visible gum recession<\/li>\n    <li>clicking while chewing<\/li>\n    <li>repeated screw loosening<\/li>\n    <li>a bridge that suddenly feels unstable<\/li>\n    <li>changes in the bite or fit<\/li>\n    <li>fracture of the prosthesis<\/li>\n    <li>movement of an implant.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n\n  <p class=\"a4fs-note\">\n    Note: A moving bridge does not always mean the implant itself is loose.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p class=\"a4fs-conclusion\">\n    Sometimes, only the screw holding the bridge in place has loosened,\n    while the implant remains firmly attached to the bone. Because the\n    cause cannot be confirmed at home, any movement should be checked by\n    an implant specialist. A clinical examination, and sometimes an X-ray\n    or scan, may be needed to identify the problem.\n  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"fms-a4-success\">\n  <style>\n    .fms-a4-success {\n

What We Have Heard from Our Patients?\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <p class=\"fms-a4r-paragraph\">\n      These are some of the concerns we often hear from patients who have\n      had All-on-4 treatment done elsewhere.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p class=\"fms-a4r-paragraph\">\n      Some tell us they were not fully prepared for how the bridge would\n      feel, how it needed to be cleaned underneath, or the adjustment\n      period for speaking and chewing. Others were surprised that\n      temporary teeth could chip or that implants still require regular\n      maintenance and professional follow-up.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p class=\"fms-a4r-paragraph\">\n      In many cases, these are not true implant failures. They are\n      problems that could have been reduced with better planning, clearer\n      communication and proper patient education before treatment.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"fms-a4r-highlight\">\n      At FMS Dental, these discussions happen\n      <strong>before the procedure<\/strong>. Patients are explained what\n      to expect, how to care for their new teeth, what maintenance will\n      be needed and what limitations they should be aware of. This helps\n      avoid unpleasant surprises later and allows patients to begin\n      treatment with realistic expectations.\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Section 2: What happens if an implant fails -->\n    <h2 class=\"fms-a4r-subheading\">\n      What Happens If an Implant Fails in All-on-4 Dental Implant Protocol?\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <p class=\"fms-a4r-paragraph\">\n      The failure of one implant does <strong>not always mean the entire\n      All-on-4 restoration is lost.<\/strong> What happens next depends\n      on several factors, including which implant has failed, when the\n      failure occurred, how much bone is available, how stable the\n      remaining implants are and how the bridge has been designed.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p class=\"fms-a4r-paragraph\">\n      In many cases, the failed implant can be removed and the area\n      allowed to heal. The bridge may be adjusted and a replacement\n      implant can sometimes be placed either in the same area or in a\n      different position. Bone grafting may be needed in selected cases.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p class=\"fms-a4r-paragraph\">\n      If more than one implant fails, the treatment plan needs to be\n      reassessed more carefully. Depending on the available bone,\n      options may include additional implants, bone grafting, or\n      advanced implant techniques such as zygomatic or pterygoid\n      implants for selected upper-jaw cases.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p class=\"fms-a4r-paragraph\">\n      Most importantly, the reason for the failure must be identified\n      before treatment is repeated. If infection, smoking, teeth\n      grinding, excessive bite pressure or poor maintenance contributed\n      to the problem, these factors need to be addressed first to improve\n      the chances of a successful retreatment.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <!-- References -->\n    <div class=\"fms-a4r-references\">\n      <h3 class=\"fms-a4r-ref-heading\">References<\/h3>\n\n      <p class=\"fms-a4r-reference\">\n        Shao W-H, Chen R, Wang S, et al.
