All-on-4 dental implants are currently taking the dental field by storm. These devices address periodontal diseases or tooth loss. They are supported by four dental implants, which gives the name of All-on-4.
Dental implants have been revolutionizing the face of the dental industry over the last 25 years. Implants are small posts that replace the tooth’s root and hold artificial teeth in place. Implants are secured inside the jawbone and are not visible to the naked eye once.
They are used to secure crowns, bridge dentures and are made of a strong biocompatible product such as titanium and alloys. Along with replacing lost teeth, implants also support your jawline density and facial structures such as the cheeks and lips.
Dental implants not only help you eat, smile and talk better. They also improve your social, psychological and physical well-being.
There are many variables to consider when you are deciding if this treatment option is right for you.
People with weakened jaw bones tend to gravitate towards this solution as there are fewer procedures needed to reinforce the bone. The same goes for people who have tried out dentures and are currently unhappy with the results.
All-on-4 gives you a chance to receive implants in a way that will place less stress on the softer bones within the mouth.
In most cases, the All-on-4 procedure can be done as quickly as a day. It can take as little as a day to install the implants and attach the dental plates.
After this, you would return a few days later to receive the permanent plates. Compare this to other dental procedures that require constant consultations and visits. Instead of waiting weeks or months between appointments, you can get All-on-4 in a much short time.
Also, there is often easier maintenance involved. Since the implants are placed physically within the mouth, you will not have to change your oral hygiene routine. Dentures require special cleaning solutions and adhesives. You can avoid this will All-on-4 implants since they only need normal brushing.
To top it all off, the All-on-4 procedure is much more affordable than you may think. The implant is surprisingly strong. You will not need to make constant visits to the dentist to replace loose parts or chipped items. Compare this to replacing new dentures at least every decade. Even with proper care, you could lose your dentures during travel or moving. Overall, choosing All-on-4 can be good news for your wallet.
With All-on-4, you can walk into the dentist’s office with no teeth and emerge with a beautiful smile. The plates look perfectly natural and can handle the daily challenges of life.
