The public first got to know dental implants decades ago – when they were introduced as a technology that, quite frankly, didn’t always work very well. At that time, dental implants involved only single teeth and were an unreliable alternative to root canals and a mediocre choice to replace teeth that were missing. Now, times have really changed.

Today’s dental implant technology is much better – smaller and requiring less healing time. Procedures have a success rate approaching 100 percent. And a single implant can now support several teeth. This makes the astounding All-on-4 complete upper or lower arch restoration procedure possible – with just four implants per arch.

If you’re missing all teeth on the bottom, top or both arches – or need to get your remaining teeth extracted for better oral and overall health – All-on-4 total arch restoration from a San Diego Dentist Association member is an upgraded alternative to traditional removable dentures, individual implants and even other kinds of implant-supported dentures.

All-On-4 Arch Restoration Advantages

Reliable, safe and affordable implant-supported All-on-4 dentures are less invasive and easier and your system than traditional implants and require less healing time than some other types of restorations of full arches with implants. This method is unique because the back two implants are longer than usual and tilted so they go into a place in the bone that’s strong and thick. That means your dentist doesn’t have to do any bone grafting, and that means you don’t have the pain, potential complications and months of healing that come with grafting.

Here are some specific benefits of All-on-4 dentures as opposed to traditional dental implants and other ways of restoring a full arch of missing teeth:

Speed. The four specially designed implants supporting the top or bottom arch can be implanted at the same time so you can leave the dental office with teeth that day. You don’t have to come again and again for more surgery.

Savings. Because All-on-4 full arch restoration is easier, quicker and involves fewer dental office visits than traditional implants, you get great results while saving money. There’s a reduced chance of complications too.

Stability. Because the back implants are long, tilted and specially designed to anchor into a strong part of the jawbone, you can get excellent stability, especially if you have bone loss. You don’t have to worry with removable dentures, and there are no expensive, slow-to-heal bone grafts. Plus, your prosthetic fits snugly for amazing comfort and a natural feel.

Appearance. Your teeth will look better than ever when you select this method of full arch restoration with implants, but that’s not all. Because your jawbone won’t deteriorate as it does with dentures or missing teeth, you won’t lose facial structure and definition. That means your face will never have that caved-in look, and wrinkles around your mouth will be reduced.

Function. When you opt for All-on-4 restoration, you can eat normally – perhaps better than in years. Your eating habits will greatly improve over when you had missing teeth or bad dentures. You will eat comfortably and whatever you like without any pain or embarrassment from clicking dentures.

Permanence. The four implants and prosthesis involved with All-on-4 implant-supported fixed dentures from an SDDA dental clinic will last a lifetime in most cases – and you’ll never have to remove dentures again. With regular dental care just as with natural teeth, you should have no problems.
