All-on-4® is a great solution for missing teeth. Not only is it minimally invasive, but it is a popular alternative to traditional implants that many people seem to prefer. Whether someone has a few missing teeth or requires a whole new set, this is an option that could work for them. It’s a great solution that ensures that teeth stay in place and people look as natural as possible.
This procedure requires titanium or titanium alloy implants that actually serve as an anchor for prosthetic teeth. If someone has a few or several missing teeth then this may be the alternative method they have been searching for.
The All-on-4® method involves placing dental implants directly into the jawbone. It works to take the place of the missing tooth root, and as it heals, it fuses to the bone. Usually, it only requires four implants to support the arch of an entire mouth of prosthetic teeth.
The teeth that are put in place are made of porcelain or acrylic. The dentist will take his time measuring and color-matching the prosthetic teeth to make sure that they look as natural as possible. This goes a long way in making sure that the teeth look as good as possible when the procedure is done.
People prefer All-on-4® instead of traditional dentures for a variety of reasons. Here are a few of the top reasons:
People with traditional dentures usually have to restrict the types of foods that they eat simply because the dentures may pop out of place. This simply doesn’t happen with All-on-4. Instead, the teeth stay in place, and people can enjoy the foods that they love the most.
Dental implants do not have to be refitted like traditional dentures. Once they are put in, they are good to go. Jawbone loss is a common occurrence with traditional implants, so that’s why people have to go back in for them to be refitted. Plus, traditional dentures must be taken out daily for cleaning; this is not the case with dental implants. People can eat, brush and floss normally.
Dental implants have a much more natural look than traditional dentures. The dentist takes a considerable amount of time making sure that the size, shape, and color of the implant match the bone structure of the patient and look similar to any existing natural teeth.
People who have missing teeth know all too well how much it impacts their daily life. Fortunately, All-on-4 offers a solution that works. Not only is it minimally invasive, but it also has great and natural results. People can finally feel proud of their smile without worrying that they look unnatural or have obvious false teeth.
