How Do All-On-4 Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants are an ideal solution for replacing missing teeth. Unlike any other tooth replacement option, implants replace the entire tooth, including both the root and the crown. However, to qualify for this procedure, it is crucial that you have adequate jawbone density for a sturdy foundation. All-on-4 dental implants use four dental implants to provide maximum support. Strategically placing implants in the thickest areas of the jawbone minimizes the need for bone grafting. Once your implants are placed, abutments are attached and used to secure a denture into place. This way, it is anchored firmly in the jawbone.
Am I a Candidate for All-On-4 Dental Implants?
Most patients who have suffered from tooth loss on one or both arches are good candidates for All-on-4. Even patients who have suffered from bone loss may be eligible because of the angle placement. Patients who would typically need bone grafting prior to getting traditional dental implants may not need it to get All-on-4, but it is still necessary to be in good oral health and committed to practicing excellent oral hygiene.
Benefits of All-On-4 Dental Implants
For All-on-4 denture implants, there are a variety of advantages that you can look forward to. Here are just some of them:
- All-On-4 implants are fixed to the jawbone. This means that you can brush your replacement teeth just like natural teeth. You don’t need to take them out to clean them.
- They prevent jawbone loss, helping you to maintain your youthful appearance.
- All-On-4 dental implants restore more chewing power than traditional dentures. This way, you can enjoy your favorite foods again.
- They feel natural – just like your original teeth felt.
All-On-4 VS Traditional Dental Implants
All-on-4 and traditional dental implants have lots of similarities, but there are some key distinctions between them:
- Traditional implant dentures can require up to eight posts, so All-on-4 is a more cost-effective option. All-on-4 also requires less surgery time.
- All-On-4 often does not require a bone graft and waiting several months before the graft to take before you can get your new smile.
- With All-on-4 dental implants, the denture can often be placed on the same day as the implant placement surgery. This allows the patient to enjoy their new teeth right away.
