All-on-Four dentures are an innovative treatment for people who have suffered tooth loss. Unlike traditional implants, this method supports a full set of teeth using only four implants. The implants are strategically placed; the posterior implants are angled to provide support even in areas where the jawbone is less dense. This reduces the need for bone grafting, minimizing surgical intervention.
Advantages:
– Fast Results: In many cases, a temporary set of teeth can be placed the same day, which shortens the healing time.
– Cost Effectiveness: Using fewer implants and generally not requiring bone grafting reduces costs.
– Natural Look and Function: All-on Four implants mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, providing confidence in eating, speaking and smiling.
– Protects Facial Structure: Implants support the jawbone, helping to protect the facial structure and achieve a youthful appearance.
Disadvantages:
– Cost: The initial cost may be higher than with conventional prostheses.
– Risk of Infection: There is always a risk of infection after surgical intervention, so regular oral hygiene should be observed.
Who is it suitable for?
– Tooth loss in the upper or lower jaw
– Problems with traditional prostheses
– Those with low jaw bone density
