All-on-4® is an option for people who need to replace an entire upper or lower arch of their teeth. For many people, this is the solution that they have been waiting for. Because it works as a dental implant that creates an anchor for prosthetic teeth, it means that these restorations do not shift around like traditional dentures. The result is a natural-looking smile with implants that require the same level of care as natural teeth.
The All-in-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. Only four dental implants are needed (two in each arch) to support an entire set of prosthetic teeth, which makes it easier on the patient's mouth after surgery.
The teeth that are put in place are made of porcelain or acrylic. The teeth look natural because the dentist takes extra steps to ensure that the size and color of the tooth match any other existing teeth.
The main thing that the All-on-4 method allows patients to achieve is a natural-looking smile. Many people can easily spot dentures. However, these implants are tediously created to look just like regular teeth. People appreciate that it is not obvious that they have prosthetic teeth. They do not have to worry about the fake look of dentures or the need to remove them daily for regular cleaning. Instead, this option allows people to feel like they have the same natural teeth, and nobody will be able to notice a difference.
Additionally, many patients prefer the All-in-4 because it is a minimally invasive procedure that produces long-lasting results. They also provide a stable foundation for restorations like dentures. These implants stay in place, and they are cared for just like regular teeth. There is also no need to go in for constant readjustments. Traditional dentures often need to be replaced every few years, but these implants can last a lifetime if they are taken care of properly.
People may be curious if they are a good fit for this dental procedure. If a person is missing teeth, then they may be a good candidate for this particular option, but there are a few other key considerations to keep in mind. The main thing that dentists want to be sure of is that patients have plenty of healthy jawbones to support the implant. Of course, it is also important not to have any infections or serious conditions that could deteriorate the jawbone or gums over time. This can be decided once the dentist completes a thorough evaluation of the teeth, gums, and jaw.
