Dental implants are absolute game changers when it comes to replacing missing teeth. Since they’re placed directly into the jaw via surgery, they can offer unmatched support and stability for a patient as they restore their smile. One such way in which dental implants are utilized is the “All-on-4” method, also sometimes referred to as “teeth in a day.” Here’s a little more from your dentist about this unique treatment and how it can provide notable, lasting advantages for you and your future smile.
A Brief Look at All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 dental implants offer a comprehensive solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. This unique treatment involves the strategic placement of just four dental implants per arch, allowing for a full set of fixed prosthetic teeth to be securely attached. Since the restoration utilizes four dental implants, the patient won’t be able to remove it from their mouth as with traditional dentures.
Notable Advantages of All-On-4 Dental Implants
Here are some praiseworthy benefits that All-on-4 dental implants can offer:
- Thanks to their placement method, All-on-4 dental implants offer an unmatched level of support and stability for patients.
- Since no denture material is placed on the palate, there’s less denture acrylic in the mouth so they don’t feel quite as bulky as traditional ones.
- Eliminates the need for denture adhesive material, which is favorable for patients with sensitive gag reflexes or limited hand mobility.
- Patients will be able to bite, chew, and speak better than ever before.
- The treatment is considered significantly time- and cost-effective, as it can eliminate the need for additional surgeries.
- Dental implants help to preserve jaw volume and facial structure, which can even result in a more youthful appearance.
All-on-4 Dental implants have transformed countless smiles and rejuvenated the oral health and confidence of many patients, so if you’re curious to see if they might be able to assist you with your situation, don’t wait to contact your dentist today!
