For patients facing widespread tooth loss, severe decay, or failing dental work, salvaging the remaining teeth is not always an option. In these cases, a full clearance and implant-supported reconstruction is the most reliable path to restoring both chewing function and confidence.
A patient traveled to us to undergo a complete mouth rehabilitation. Because her treatment required significant bone healing, we structured her journey into a carefully planned, 3-phase clinical timeline. Utilizing the Dual All-on-4 dental implants protocol, our expert specialists successfully rebuilt her upper and lower jaws using 8 premium Neodent implants and 22 metal-porcelain crowns.

The 3-Phase Treatment Journey
A true All-on-4 reconstruction requires patience and specialized care to ensure the implants fuse perfectly with the jawbone. This case is a textbook example of this staged, multi-disciplinary approach.
🛑 Phase 1: Clearance & Healing with Dr. Özkan Özkaynak
To build a strong foundation, Dr. Özkan Özkaynak first had to remove the failing teeth and eliminate all underlying infections.
- The Procedure: Dr. Özkaynak performed a full clearance, which included 3 simple extractions and 1 surgical extraction in the upper jaw, alongside 5 simple extractions and 1 surgical extraction in the lower jaw.
- Immediate Function: The patient was provided with upper and lower temporary dentures so she could maintain aesthetic function while her bone healed.
Phase 1 OPG: The initial scan shows the compromised state of the remaining natural teeth prior to full clearance.
⚙️ Phase 2: The Surgical Foundation (All-on-4) with Dr. Özkan Özkaynak
Once the extraction sites had fully healed, the patient returned for the most critical phase of her journey: implant placement.
Pre-Surgical OPG: This scan shows the completely healed, edentulous (toothless) jawbones, ready to receive the implants.
- Bone Grafting: To ensure maximum stability in the upper arch, Dr. Özkaynak applied Straumann Maxgraft (0.5 cl) bone grafting material.
- Implant Placement: He strategically placed 4 Neodent (Straumann Group) Implants in the upper jaw and 4 Neodent Implants in the lower jaw.
Post-Surgical OPG: The 8 implants (4 top, 4 bottom) are perfectly angled and placed by Dr. Özkaynak, establishing the “All-on-4” framework.
🌟 Phase 3: The Final Restoration with Dr. Uğur Gültekinler
After allowing several months for the implants to achieve full osseointegration (fusing to the bone), the patient returned for her permanent smile. Dr. Uğur Gültekinler took the lead for this final restorative phase.
- The Crowns: Dr. Gültekinler designed and placed 12 Metal Porcelain Crowns on the upper arch and 10 Metal Porcelain Crowns on the lower arch. Metal porcelain was chosen for its exceptional durability, which is essential for replacing an entire bite.
- The Aesthetics: Guided by Dr. Gültekinler, the patient selected a Natural Style tooth shape in the highly requested 1M1 shade—a brilliant, clean white that looks beautifully authentic.
- Protection: To safeguard her investment against nocturnal grinding, she was fitted with a custom Night Guard.
Final OPG: The 22 metal-porcelain crowns are permanently anchored to the 8 Neodent implants, completing the functional and aesthetic restoration.
