All-on-4 implants are dental prosthetics that replace a row of teeth with the help of only four dental implants. The titanium implants are screwed into the upper and lower jawbone and then fixed with a denture on top.
What Are the Main Advantages of All-on-4 Implants?
All-on-4 implants offer a variety of benefits. The most notable are:
• All-on-4 implants cost less than individual replacements for all of your teeth.
• All-on-4 implants make it easier and faster to replace all your missing teeth as they can be placed in just a single day of surgery.
• All-on-4 implants are a permanent solution for restoring missing teeth.
• Because they fuse with your jawbone, dentures supported by All-on-4 implants don’t become loose or shift position.
Good candidates for All on 4 dental implants may include;
• People who have lost numerous teeth due to injury.
• People who have lost numerous teeth due to tooth decay.
• People with advanced gum disease.
• Individuals who are unable to see significant benefits from restoring the teeth or those who cannot have teeth restored.
Good candidates don’t necessarily have an entire arch missing, but they do have a significant number of teeth that need replacing.
Patients who are not good candidate for All-on-4;
Dental patients who do not make good candidates for All on 4 have a history of poor oral health and have underlying conditions that would make healing after the implant surgery difficult or unusually slow. These would be individuals with a history of uncontrolled diabetes as well as high blood pressure and autoimmune disorders.
If you are missing a significant amount of jaw bone or gum tissue, All on 4 typically wouldn’t be a good option.
How Long Does All-on-4 Last?
All-in-4 implants are proven to stand the test of time. In fact, data shows they can last for 20 years or longer with the right care. The implant posts should never need to be replaced; however, your denture will experience daily wear and tear. You may need adjustments over the years, but 99% last for 10 years or longer without any issue.
Will All-on-4 replacement teeth look unnatural?
Answer is NO! All-on-4 replacement teeth provide you with permanent, natural-looking and natural-functioning teeth.
