It’s widely known that dental implants are the best method of replacing a missing tooth, offering a permanent, aesthetic fixed solution to tooth loss. But did you know there’s a way to use as little as 4 implants to replace a whole arch (or both arches) of missing teeth? Enter All-on-4: the cost-effective implants treatment that’s ideal for patients missing several or even all of their natural teeth.
All-on-4 – how does treatment bring implants and dentures together?
All-on-4 uses 4 (or 6) strategically placed implants to secure dentures in a fixed position. Placing them at a 30-45 degree angle means they are able to support a whole denture and renders them suitable for patients who have low bone density and who may otherwise have needed a bone graft if they were getting single implants.
What are the advantages of All-on-4 vs Dentures?
As well as being a replacement solution for those with several missing teeth, All-on-4 is also a great option for patients who have worn dentures for a while and are looking for a more permanent solution. Some of the benefits of All-on-4 over dentures include:
- No need to remove them.
- No risk of the dentures slipping.
- Superior comfort as they don’t put pressure on your gums.
- Care for them in the same way as you would your natural teeth.
- Your palette isn’t covered with your denture so you’ll be able to taste the food you love.
- Restores the health of your jawbone and maintains your facial structure.
Replacing missing teeth: how it benefits your confidence
