All surgical procedures carry risk. Complications of All-On-4® implant surgery are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified and experienced dentist, but they can include:

• Infection around the implant site (leading to implant failure)
• Temporary swelling, or bruising post-surgery (clears up within 1-2 weeks)
• Nerve injury causing numbness, tingling, or altered sensation (rare and usually temporary, although sometimes it can be permanent)
• Sinus complications (apples to implants placed in the upper arch, precautions are taken to manage sinus complications)
• Implant failure or loosening (if the bone does not heal properly)
• Damage to surrounding teeth or gums
• Delayed healing time in some patients

We’ll make sure you understand the possible risks before you consent to treatment.
