All on 4 Dental Implants:
The all-on-four dental implant fixed bridge is a great solution for patients that want to do away with the negative effects of dentures. The all-on-four is fixed (does not come out at night or after meals) in place. Patients love the freedom the all-on-four provides.
In the past patients had to receive between six and ten dental implants in order to support a fixed implant bridge. The all-on-four procedure was developed in Europe to lower the number of implants needed for a fixed bridge.
The beauty of the all-on-four procedure is that it only needs four implants. The back implants are placed at a forty-five degree angle. This angulation eliminates the need for bone grafts, avoids anatomical structures, and engages more bone for increased strength. The utilization of fewer implants is a great cost reduction feature of the all-on-four.
Benefits of the All-on-Four:
- Ability to restore all missing teeth in a day even if extractions are needed
- The teeth replacement are fixed and do not come out
- Angled posterior dental implants avoid anatomical structures, engage more bone creating a stronger foundation, and eliminates bone grafts.
- Greatly reduced recovery time
- Increased comfort because teeth do not rest on the gum tissue
- Easy to clean
- Increased self-esteem
- Avoids the frustration of bulky removable dentures
- Eliminates wrinkles and fills out facial contours to provide a more youthful appearance.
