If you don\u2019t like the idea of dentures or have had problems with them, All-On-4 implant-supported dentures are a smart, beautiful and affordable choice that solve many of the problems of traditional removable dentures. You can experience a rapid improvement in your appearance \u2013 often in a single office visit with follow-ups to ensure healing \u2013 when you choose this type of fixed dentures.<\/p>\n
With the unique All-On-4 system, a whole arch of teeth can be supported on just four modern dental implants \u2013 smaller and different from other implants so they\u2019re more affordable and heal quicker. If you\u2019ve had teeth extracted in the past and want a better alternative to regular dentures or need extractions plus quick and complete restoration, this proven technique could be right for you.<\/p>\n
San Diego Dentist Association members are happy to discuss the All-On-4 fixed denture procedure and its benefits with you. All you have to do is make an appointment. In the meantime, here\u2019s some useful information that may help you with making an informed decision about moving up from non-anchored removable plates to today\u2019s implant-supported fixed dentures \u2013 or having All-on-4 restoration as your first choice for beauty, comfort and function following extractions.<\/p>\n
These are essentially three reasons you might want to consider an implant-supported denture:<\/p>\n
Everyone who has no teeth on one or both arches or is planning extractions needs to know about All-on-4 fixed dentures. After just one session at the dental office, you can leave with teeth. The result is remarkable in most cases and provides amazing function for chewing and eating, unmatched beauty, clear speech and a boost to your self-esteem right away. Even better, there are fewer problems with All-On-4 than with larger and more expensive dental implant solutions, better function than with regular dentures and no need for multiple surgeries as might be necessary with other full-arch restorations.<\/p>\n
Placement of All-on-4 implants is quicker and less complex than other implant-supported restoration techniques and requires fewer implants, fewer surgeries and reduced overall chair time. Because the back implants are placed at an angle to reach thick, healthy bone at the back of the jaw, you can avoid having a bone graft that requires a lot of time in surgery and a lengthy healing process. And because of the simplicity, this modern kind of permanent denture costs much less than other fixed dental prostheses.<\/p>\n
Those longer, tilted back implants are the key to excellent stability even if you have degeneration of the jawbone from gum disease or years without teeth. The back two implants are anchored to the strong anterior bone of the back of your jaw for stability \u2013 which means your teeth are always snug, properly functioning and feel like natural teeth. X-rays and other tests will determine whether you\u2019re a good candidate and exactly how implants are placed.<\/p>\n
When you select All-on-4 full-arch restoration, you benefit in these and other ways:<\/p>\n
Same-day results.<\/strong> You can eat and smile with stable, beautiful teeth that fit well from the start. And you only need one session in the dental chair plus some follow-up checks. You can have dramatic improvement over your previous situation in hardly any time at all.<\/p>\n Better appearance.<\/strong> Your new fixed denture will look better than you\u2019re expecting because you may have never seen this type of restoration before. Just as nice, your jawbone won\u2019t degenerate over time as it may with regular dentures, preventing facial structure deterioration that some call \u201cthat denture look.\u201d No caving in of your face means fewer wrinkles around your mouth because of bone loss, so you can look better and perhaps younger.<\/p>\n No restrictions on eating.<\/strong> When you choose All-On-4, you\u2019re choosing no restrictions on the kinds of foods you can eat. In fact, your eating habits will almost certainly improve over time since you\u2019ll have the most reliable teeth you\u2019ve had in years. Plus, you can enjoy food without clicking or loosening \u2013 or the embarrassment these issues can cause you.<\/p>\n A lifelong beautiful smile.<\/strong> This type of implant-supported denture allows you single-day results that last the rest of your life. The final fixed denture doesn\u2019t need to be removed and is supported permanently on its four healthy, stable implants. Your dentist can remove it for cleaning when necessary and to make repairs or replace the denture if needed.<\/p>\n Fewer health issues.<\/strong> You\u2019ll have a healthier mouth when you don\u2019t have the problems that come along with missing or failing teeth. That means you will experience reduced likelihood of periodontal disease, reduced infection rates caused by teeth and gum bacteria and reduced disease from inflammation. That can mean better overall health and less chance of developing diseases linked to gum disease bacteria, including heart attack, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer\u2019s disease and more.<\/p>\n Easy care.<\/strong> Just brush your new teeth like natural teeth and visit your SDDA dentist for regular cleanings. Home and dental office cleanings are both a cinch.<\/p>\n And these things all add up to improved quality of life.<\/em><\/p>\n You could have beautiful, functional and pain-free new teeth that look as good as or perhaps better than your natural teeth ever did \u2013 in about 2.5 hours per arch in the dental chair. You\u2019ll leave with temporary teeth that you can use for 6 to 8 months (perhaps made from your old dentures) and then you can get permanent teeth once implants are healed. Those could last the rest of your life.<\/p>\n Bottom line: There\u2019s no downside to All-on-4 treatment from an SDDA dentist. Get the look and function you deserve by reaching out now.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you don\u2019t like the idea of dentures or have had problems with them, All-On-4 implant-supported dentures are a smart, beautiful and affordable choice that solve many of the problems of traditional removable dentures.
