How Do All-On-4 Dental Implants Work?

A traditional full denture is secured to your gums using suction or a denture adhesive. Over the years, dentures have been improved to allow them to closely mimic your real teeth, but there will always be some degree of slipping and irritation. Not to mention, they only last for a few years before needing to be replaced.

As an alternative, an average of 8 dental implant posts can be inserted into the jawbone to anchor the denture in place. While this is effective, you must have adequate bone density in your jaw to support the posts. As a result, some patients aren’t candidates for dental implants because they’ve experienced bone loss.

All-On-4 differs because only 4 posts are used. They are placed into the thickest parts of the jaw, eliminating the need for bone grafting without compromising their stability or success rate.

Am I a Candidate for All-On-4 Dental Implants?

If you’ve lost all your natural teeth in one or both arches and a traditional denture didn’t give you the results you wanted, you might be a candidate for All-On-4. Dr. Robison will perform an extensive examination and review a CT scan to assess your oral health. He will also discuss your medical and lifestyle history to ensure All-On-4 is the right option for you.

What are the Benefits of All-On-4 Dental Implants?

Although fewer implant posts are used to support the denture, you’ll still enjoy the same benefits, including:

• The restorations look natural and allow you to smile confidently.
• You’ll regain as much as 70% of your natural biting force.
• The implant posts eliminate slipping and irritation.
• They preserve your jawbone’s density.
• The process often doesn’t require bone grafting.
• It’s considered an incredibly cost-effective solution.

All-On-4 VS Traditional Dental Implants

Traditional dental implants require you to undergo a multi-phased treatment that can take several months to complete. All-On-4 simplifies the process because the implant posts and restoration can often be placed on the same day, so you won’t need to go without any teeth while you heal. This is one of the most exciting benefits of All-on-4, among many others!
