Losing teeth over the years is quite normal. But of course after loosing all upper or lower teeth, it causes insecurity, feeling embarrassed when smiling or uncomfortable while speaking or eating foods. This option called “All-on-4 Dental Implants” provides perfect solution to gain perfect complete smile and confidence back with full mouth functionality.
All-on-4 implants technique is a great option for people of all ages who have lost their full set of teeth. And in long term follow ups most of the patients are happy and satisfied with their results. But of course as in all medical procedures you need to go over every step of this one with your dentist as well especially to make sure if this is the ideal option.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are a full set of implants designed to replace your entire upper or lower set of teeth. They act as a more permanent and natural-looking alternative to dentures.
Traditionally, each dental implant has one small titanium screw that a surgeon inserts into the gums. Then, the dentist places a single false tooth to the screw. With an All-on-4 implant, you don’t need to replace each lost tooth individually. Instead, a dental professional will surgically insert four titanium posts into your jawbone as the main anchors. They can then attach a permanent denture at those four areas for a seamless look across your entire mouth.
The prosthesis will stay in your mouth permanently and look just as natural as your surrounding real teeth.
What Are the Pros and Cons of All-on-4 Implants?
Many people gain renewed confidence in their appearance with All-on-4 implant surgery. The implants offer several benefits that allow patients to enjoy the smile of a lifetime, including:
- You can replace your entire set of missing teeth in just one day with only one surgery.
- The implants permanently secure to your mouth, so they won’t loosen or shift like dentures.
- The procedure restores your entire set of teeth with only four implants.
- All-on-4 implants cost less than replacing each tooth individually.
- You won’t typically need any bone grafting.
All-on-4 implants are a fantastic option for people of all ages who have lost their full set of teeth, and most patients are fully satisfied with their results. However, you and your dentist should go over every aspect of the procedure to make sure these implants are the ideal option for you. The following are some potential drawbacks you should consider before choosing All-on-4 implants:
- You’ll need to have a high level of bone available to hold the implants in place.
- You won’t be able to test how the teeth feel or look before your procedure.
- The implants cannot be placed in the mouth’s molar area, where you have the greatest bite force.
How Long Do All-on-4 Implants Last?
All-on-4 dental implants are meant to be a permanent dental solution. Your implants can last 20 years or more with proper care. The long-term implant-related success rate after 10 years is more than 94 percent, according to some scientific studies.
What Is the Recovery Time for All-on-4 Implants?
Recovery time for traditional implants typically ranges from three to eight months, but with All-on-4 implants, you’ll likely recover much sooner. An All-on-4 system can fuse to your bone more easily than individual implants, which promotes better stability.
How Do I Clean All-on-4 Dental Implants?
After your implant surgery, you can clean the site by gently rinsing your mouth with salt water. Then, you can treat your dental implants just like you would your natural teeth. Brush and floss every day, and continue to get regular cleanings from your dentist. Before your procedure, your dental team will go over more specific oral hygiene instructions that best meet your health needs.
How Much Does the All-on-4 Dental Implant Cost?
The cost of your implants depends on several factors, including the material you choose, the number of teeth you need and whether you have dental coverage. Before your procedure, you should see if you can receive any insurance or discounts. Click for our price list.
