What are the risks and recovery expectations for All-on-4?

Risks include infection, implant failure, nerve injury (temporary numbness), sinus complications, or prosthesis fracture, though these are uncommon with proper planning. Recovery involves initial swelling and discomfort for 3–7 days, managed with pain medication and soft diet. Full osseointegration takes 3–4 months, during which you wear a temporary bridge. After permanent prosthesis placement, you can resume normal eating, but avoid hard foods initially. Long-term success requires good oral hygiene and regular follow-ups.
