Safe Dental Implant Surgery with Guided Technology
Getting an All-on-4 (AO4) treatment in Portugal can be done under the safest conditions thanks to precise digital planning and strict sterilization protocols. Our clinic uses cutting-edge technology, such as computer-guided surgery, to improve implant accuracy, minimize pain and bleeding, and greatly reduce the risk of infection.
Flapless Surgery: No Gum Detachment
Flapless implant surgery, also known as minimally invasive surgery, relies on advanced 3D planning. Using an intraoral scan and a cone beam CT, we create a custom 3D-printed surgical guide. Implants are inserted directly through the gum tissue without incisions. The result: a faster, suture-free, and nearly painless procedure with minimal swelling and infection risk.
AO4 in Portugal: High-Precision Dental Care
A Digital, Highly Accurate Protocol
The process starts with a 3D intraoral scan and a cone beam CT (CBCT). These images are merged using specialized software that allows the surgeon to visualize the patient’s bone anatomy in 3D with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Next, the dentist defines the exact position, angle, depth, and diameter of each implant, considering bone density, sensitive structures (like nerves or sinuses), and the future prosthetic design. A custom surgical guide is then 3D-printed to ensure absolute precision.
During surgery, this guide is placed in the mouth to direct all instruments with accuracy, allowing incision-free placement of the implants. This technique ensures a minimally invasive and nearly painless procedure, with virtually no swelling or infection.
AO4 in Portugal: Strict Hygiene and Infection Prevention Protocols
Antiseptic Mouth Preparation
Before the procedure, the patient’s mouth is disinfected with an antiseptic rinse, such as chlorhexidine, to eliminate bacteria. The surgical area (gum and jaw) is also cleaned thoroughly before any operation begins.
Prophylactic Antibiotics
The dental surgeon may prescribe preventive antibiotics before and after the procedure to avoid bacterial infections. These should be taken exactly as prescribed, even if no symptoms are present, to protect the surgical site.
Sterile Operating Environment
Fully sterilized operating room
All instruments disinfected and autoclaved

Post-Surgery: What to Do After Your AO4 Procedure in Portugal
Getting your smile restored in Portugal is affordable and safe, with premium brands like Straumann implants starting at just €550. After surgery, it’s essential to follow strict care instructions to avoid infections and promote proper healing.
Follow Your Medication Schedule
Antibiotics: Take as prescribed, even if you feel fine.
Painkillers: Take them regularly to stay comfortable and support faster healing.
Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene
Brush gently with a soft-bristle toothbrush.
Use an antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine.
Use interdental brushes or floss only if your dentist recommends it.
Avoid Irritants
No smoking – it slows healing and increases infection risk.
Avoid alcohol during recovery.
Eat soft foods, and avoid anything too hot, too cold, sticky, or hard.
Manage Pain and Swelling
Apply cold compresses in the first few hours.
Rest and avoid physical effort for at least a few days.
