How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?

Dental implants are the best tooth replacement option out there. Since they replace the roots of the missing teeth, they come with benefits that you can’t get from traditional dentures or bridges. The unique placement method allows for additional stability, jawbone preservation, and long-lasting prosthetics. One of the things that makes All-on-4 unique from implant dentures is that they only require four strategically placed dental implants for maximum support. Since the dental implants are placed at strategic angles in the thicket area of the jaw, All-on-4 minimizes the need for bone grafting. Once the dental implants are placed, abutments are attached and used to secure your custom denture in place.

Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?

Most people who have lost all their teeth in one or both arches are good candidates for All-on-4. If you have experienced bone loss related to your tooth loss, you may still be eligible because of the strategic angle placement used for the procedure. A patient who would normally need bone grafting for implant dentures might not need it to get All-on-4. Just remember that with any kind of tooth replacement, maintaining an excellent dental hygiene routine is a must.

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4 dental implants offer many benefits. Here are some of the most prominent ones:

Fixed: All-on-4 is fixed to the mouth, so your replacement teeth can be brushed like natural teeth. You don’t need to remove your dentures to clean your smile.
Comfortable: All-on-4 feels more like natural teeth than traditional dentures. After the adjustment period, they shouldn’t feel much different.
Bite Force: All-on-4 dental implants restore more chewing power than traditional dentures. This allows patients to enjoy a full, nutritious diet without restriction.
Healthy Jawbone: Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 prevents jawbone loss.

All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants

All-on-4 has a lot in common with implant dentures. Here are a few things that make them unique from each other:

Number of Dental Implants: Implant dentures require up to eight dental implants for a stable smile, making them more expensive.
Bone Grafting: To get implant dentures, patients are more likely to need bone grafting.
Quicker: It takes many months to get implant dentures. All-on-4 sometimes allows patients to show off their smile on the same day!
