When it comes to replacing missing teeth, implant supported dentures are an effective and long-lasting choice. An implant is an artificial tooth root that is often inserted in the jawbone. It is used to hold an artificial tooth in place. All-on-4® dental implants are increasingly being recommended for people who need to replace multiple lost or damaged teeth.
With the All-on-4 technique, providers use four implants to support a full set of replacement teeth. The dentist will locate areas in the jaw where there is adequate bone volume and density for implants to be surgically placed. The implants will then be angled for maximum stability. This will allow them to function as stable anchors for the new teeth. Here are some of the advantages of All-on-4 dental implants, also known as implant supported dentures.
People who are missing all or many of their teeth usually experience deterioration in their jawbone. The lack of stimulation exerted through chewing pressure may cause bone loss. With traditional implants, sometimes, patients may be required to go through the process of a bone graft before having implant surgery. A bone graft is usually used to bulk up the jawbone before implants can be placed.
The healing process usually takes several months. Fortunately, the All-on-4 procedure eliminates the need for costly and lengthy bone grafting treatments. The rear implants are often inserted at an angle rather than vertically. The angled placement of the implants reduces the need for bone augmentation, which is convenient for people who have suffered bone loss.
One problem with dentures is that they can slip out while speaking or eating. In contrast, All-on-4 implants are that they are fixed in place. The implants act like natural teeth when it comes to chewing and comfort. There is no risk of them slipping out of place while eating or speaking. The chewing forces from these implants will also stimulate the jawbone in a way similar to natural tooth roots, preventing bone loss and future oral health issues.
All-on-4 dental implants are a popular tooth replacement option because they look and feel natural. The new teeth can be made from all-porcelain materials, which make them look beautiful and lifelike. For people looking for a more affordable option, dentists may suggest using high-quality, medical-grade acrylic.
When it comes to a full mouth restoration, the cost of dental implants can be immensely high. Fortunately, All-on-4 implants cost less compared to a full set of dental implants. With this method, fewer implants are required in the jaw than traditional methods.
