What is All-on-4™: Teeth restoration in one day?
The All-on-4™ method is an innovative and comprehensive solution for patients with severe dental problems, when teeth are already missing or need to be extracted. This technique involves placing four implants in a specific position and angulation, on which a fixed structure is built, restoring both the function and aesthetics of the smile.
Developed by Nobel Biocare, All-on-4™ uses specially designed implants that allow stable and reliable fixation of the new teeth. The patient receives a new smile within one day, making this method extremely convenient and fast.
With All-on-4™, the discomfort and limitations of removable dentures are avoided, resulting in a fully functional and aesthetic smile that feels like the patient’s natural teeth.
Steps in All-on-4™ treatment
A comprehensive solution with only 4 implants
1. Initial consultation and planning
During the first visit, a detailed examination is performed, including X-ray examinations, scanning, and digital analysis of the condition of the jaw and the future smile. Based on this, an individual treatment plan is prepared and the patient’s expectations are discussed.
2. Implant placement
The procedure begins with the placement of the four implants in a pre-planned manner using surgical guides. The implants are positioned exactly as digitally planned beforehand, to ensure maximum stability and strength of the future structure.
3. Fabrication of the temporary structure
On the same day, after implant placement, a temporary fixed structure is fabricated and placed. It is secured onto the implants and restores the function and aesthetics of the teeth. The patient leaves the clinic with a new smile.
4. Adaptation period
Over the next several months, the implants integrate with the bone (osseointegration). During this period, the patient adapts to the temporary structure and monitors for any potential changes or discomfort.
5. Fabrication and placement of the permanent structure
After successful osseointegration of the implants, the temporary structure is replaced with a permanent one, made of high-quality materials. It is precisely crafted to ensure perfect function and aesthetics.
6. Final adjustments and follow-up care
After placement of the permanent structure, final adjustments are made to achieve maximum comfort and a natural appearance. The patient receives detailed instructions for care and maintenance of the new smile.

Smiles, stories, perfection
Our clinic stands out with its individualized approach to patients, as we carefully listen to their wishes and tailor the treatment plan accordingly. We work with high-tech digital methods, which guarantee precision and efficiency.
Your first visit
Treatment with us begins with a consultation, because proper diagnosis and case planning are the foundation of successful treatment. The consultation lasts approximately 90 minutes and is carried out by Dr. Voev and Dr. Mircheva, the chief doctors of the clinic. The consultation fee is 150 euros.
1. Scheduling a consultation appointment
The first step is to schedule a consultation appointment, which you can do in person, by phone, or via email. This ensures that you will be seen at our clinic at a time convenient for you.
2. Panoramic X-ray
Before the consultation, it is necessary to have a current digital panoramic X-ray of good quality. The X-ray should be taken at least one day before your visit so that we have complete information about your oral health.
3. Completing a questionnaire
To create your patient record, we will ask you to complete a new patient questionnaire in which you will note important health and personal information.
4. Initial examination
The consultation, which lasts approximately 60–90 minutes, is carried out by both chief doctors – Dr. Voev and Dr. Mircheva. During this visit, we will take photographic documentation of the entire mouth, perform a detailed examination of the teeth, gums, joints, and bite, and review the available X-rays. We collect information about your complaints and needs in order to propose the best solution.
5. Analysis of photographs and X-ray examinations
Together with you, we review the taken photographs and X-ray examinations to assess the current condition and discuss all identified problems.
6. Discussion of problems and questions
After analyzing the collected data, we will discuss in detail the identified problems, answer your questions, and propose the possible solutions.
7. Additional diagnostics in complex cases
In the case of a more complex clinical situation, an additional visit for more in-depth diagnostics may be necessary. This includes multiple photographs, dental scanning with a digital scanner, computed tomography, bite analysis, and smile design.
8. Presentation of the treatment and financial plan
During a separate visit, we will provide you with an individualized treatment and financial plan. We will discuss the details, show you sample cases, and clarify the timelines and possible treatment options.
Frequently asked questions
Don’t see the answer you’re looking for?
Will it hurt?
Every procedure with us is performed under anesthesia in order to ensure a comfortable experience for the patient.
Do we work with supplementary health funds?
Yes, we work with supplementary health funds. We issue all necessary documents, such as invoices, medical reports, and others required by the funds. In addition, we work with health funds abroad, providing the same level of documentation and service.
Do we work with the national health insurance fund?
The national health insurance fund limits dentists to working only with amalgam and chemical polymer materials (i.e., materials that do not allow for high-quality tooth restoration), and also determines the time allocated for each procedure. We do not work with the national health insurance fund because we maintain high standards of work, and high-quality reconstruction of a tooth sometimes takes 90 minutes.
What payment methods are available?
With us, you have several convenient payment options. We accept cash payments, credit and debit cards, as well as bank transfers. This allows you to choose the most convenient payment method for you.
Do we take X-rays?
Yes, in our clinic we take X-rays – of individual teeth, as well as those that diagnose early-stage caries between teeth.
Can we issue invoices?
Yes, we issue invoices to both individuals and companies. Regardless of the type of client, we provide the necessary documentation for the performed services.
How often should a preventive check-up and tartar cleaning be done?
A preventive check-up should be carried out every 6 months for each person. Tartar cleaning depends on the individual problems of the patient and the rate of tartar accumulation. Therefore, cleaning can be done at intervals of 2, 4, 6, or 8 months.
Do we have our own parking?
Yes, the clinic has its own parking available for patients. The parking is located in the courtyard behind the clinic building.
Can a tooth not hurt and still have a problem?
Yes, very often a tooth can have a problem without causing pain. Our patients are often surprised to learn that they have dental problems despite not having experienced pain. Many oral conditions, including gum disease, bone loss beneath the gums (periodontitis), caries, even advanced caries reaching the nerve and requiring root canal treatment, as well as granulomas and cysts around the roots of teeth, can be asymptomatic. That is why it is important to have preventive check-ups every 6 months to prevent tooth loss and maintain good oral health.
