How Do All-on-4 Implants Work?
A regular implant denture may require our team to surgically insert as many as six or even eight implant posts in your jaw to act as artificial roots for replacement teeth. However, All-on-4 does the same job with just four implant posts. This is thanks to the fact that the posts are carefully placed so that they can take advantage of the densest areas of the jawbone. The precise positioning of the posts allows them to provide a full denture with the support and stability that it needs.
Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?
You may be able to qualify for All-on-4 even if you are not currently a candidate for traditional dental implants. The unique way that All-on-4 implants are placed helps make them a viable option even for patients who have lower levels of bone density.
That said, good oral health is required before you can undergo any type of dental implant surgery. Issues such as gum disease must be identified and properly treated before you can have the All-on-4 procedure performed.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 can go a long way toward helping you maintain a more youthful appearance; not only does it let you reclaim a complete smile, but it can prevent bone loss in your jaw, which can help you avoid the facial collapse that often occurs when teeth are missing. On top of that, your All-on-4 implants will provide enough biting and chewing power to let you eat virtually anything you want. And when it comes to longevity, dental implants are known to be able to last for 30 years or even longer with good maintenance.
All-On-4 vs. Traditional Implants
What makes All-on-4 different from traditional implant dentures? Obviously, there’s the fact that it often requires fewer implant posts. Additionally, it can potentially take less time since it can make bone grafting unnecessary. One last benefit to consider is that it is often possible to receive a denture on the same day as your All-on-4 surgery, meaning you don’t have to wait as long for replacement teeth.
