All on Eight System With Fixed Porcelain Bridge
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
The All on Eight System with Fixed Porcelain Bridge is an advanced dental procedure that provides a permanent solution for individuals missing a full arch of teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which can be removable, the All on Eight system offers a stable, fixed bridge anchored by eight strategically placed dental implants within the jawbone. These implants support a porcelain bridge that mimics the natural appearance and function of teeth, providing patients with both aesthetic appeal and strong bite capabilities.
This dental implant system involves a multi-phase approach, beginning with a thorough evaluation. In the first phase, a dental specialist will assess the patient’s oral health, bone density, and any unique requirements through comprehensive X-rays, 3D scans, and other imaging techniques. These diagnostic steps ensure that the implant placements are optimized for long-term success. Next, the implants, typically made of titanium for its strength and biocompatibility, are surgically placed within the jawbone. These implants act as artificial roots, providing a stable foundation for the bridge.
Once the implants are secured, there is a healing period where the jawbone naturally fuses with the implants in a process known as osseointegration. This fusion process is crucial as it secures the implants firmly in place, preventing any movement of the fixed bridge. After osseointegration, a custom-made porcelain bridge is permanently attached to the implants, giving the patient a full, functional, and natural-looking set of teeth.
Procedure Duration
The All on Eight procedure typically involves multiple stages and requires a commitment of time for each phase. Initially, patients undergo a consultation and assessment phase, which may last one to two weeks, including time for imaging, diagnostics, and consultations. The initial surgery, where the implants are placed, is generally performed in a single appointment and can take between two to four hours, depending on the complexity of the individual case.
After the initial implant placement, patients enter a healing period. This phase, known as osseointegration, can take between three to six months. During this time, the bone gradually grows around and integrates with the titanium implants, creating a solid base for the porcelain bridge. Temporary teeth may be provided during this period to ensure the patient has functional teeth and is comfortable throughout the healing process.
Once osseointegration is complete, the final step involves attaching the custom porcelain bridge to the implants. This is usually a straightforward process that takes one to two appointments over a week. From the initial consultation to the final bridge fitting, the entire All on Eight procedure can range from four to eight months. Following completion, patients often receive guidance on oral hygiene practices and aftercare to maintain the longevity of the implants and porcelain bridge.
Benefits

Risks & Considerations
- Infection: Post-surgical infections are a potential risk, and patients must follow strict aftercare to mitigate this.
- Implant Failure: Although rare, implants may not successfully integrate with the bone, leading to instability and the need for additional procedures.
- Gum Recession: Over time, gums may recede around the implants, affecting the aesthetics and health of the bridge.
- Nerve Damage: Improper placement of implants may lead to nerve damage, causing numbness or tingling in the lips or tongue.
- Maintenance Requirements: The fixed porcelain bridge requires diligent hygiene practices and regular dental checkups to ensure long-term success.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
Selecting the right specialist and facility is crucial to the success of the All on Eight System with Fixed Porcelain Bridge. Patients should look for a doctor with a track record in implantology and specific experience in full-arch restorations like the All on Eight system. Reviewing a practitioner’s credentials, certifications, and any available patient reviews can provide insights into their expertise and patient care standards.
When choosing a hospital or clinic, it is advisable to prioritize those with high international standards and modern equipment for dental imaging and surgery. Opting for facilities with clear communication about procedure details, aftercare, and costs can enhance the overall treatment experience and ensure that patients feel well-informed and comfortable throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
