Significant tooth loss has a huge influence on a person’s ability to chew and speak properly and an even greater effect on one’s confidence to smile. It usually also impacts your general health.
Fortunately, modern-day dentists have access to an innovative new solution to replace missing or damaged teeth. All on 4 dental implants is a treatment option that has successfully restored thousands of people’s ability to enjoy a fully functioning smile. Unlike conventional removable dentures, this technique provides a permanent solution for life.
All on 4 dentures can replace missing teeth with an instant process, bypassing the need for lengthy procedures usually associated with conventional implants. These prosthetic teeth look, feel, and function like regular teeth.
How many teeth do you get with All on 4 Implants?
This implant technique is capable of replacing an entire set of teeth. Each All on 4 denture typically contains fourteen teeth, including 4 incisors, 4 premolars, 2 canines, and 4 molars. These implants are designed to allow a whole set of 14 teeth to rest on only 4 dental implants. Four titanium posts are implanted to support a fixed dental prosthesis containing 10 to 14 teeth.
Dentists are trained to use the All on 4 trademark technique of placing posterior Nobel BioCare dental implants at a 45-degree angle to support each denture.
How do All on 4 implants differ from other dental implants?
- Unlike normal dentures, the All on 4 technique allows patients to enjoy a normal eating experience without the need to remove their dentures for cleaning and before bed. Instead, patients can care for their prosthetic teeth as if they were natural teeth.
- With All on 4, patients don’t have to worry about using adhesives to prevent their dentures from moving around since they are permanently attached to the implants.
- This procedure also eliminates the uncomfortable feeling of removable dentures that tend to suction onto the roof of the mouth.
- All on 4 dental implants provide the comfort of natural teeth without any slipping, wobbling, or instability, generally experienced with conventional dentures.
- Patients with All on 4 implants do not have to be careful when chewing or biting certain foods as with standard removable dentures.
- Whereas removable dentures need to be replaced every few years or so, All on 4 dental implants will last for a decade without needing to be restored or replaced.
- Because the fixed bridge of All on 4 dental implants does not cover the palate of the mouth, it provides several benefits that removable dentures do not, such as:
- Less irritation to the gum tissue
- No altered sense of temperature or taste
- No issues with gag reflex
