How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?
Rather than sitting on top of the gums, an All-on-4 denture is anchored onto four dental implants that are strategically placed throughout the jaw. Because dental implants fuse to the jawbone, they function exactly like the roots of natural teeth. As a result, they offer a stability that conventional dentures simply cannot.
The dental implant posts are positioned in ways that take advantage of the available jawbone density. Specifically, the two implants toward the back of the mouth are placed at 45-degree angles, providing maximum support. This often eliminates the need for bone grafting, which is a fairly common requirement before getting dental implants.
Am I a Candidate for All-on-4 Implants?
When you meet with your implant dentist in Mesquite, Dr. Rana can examine your mouth and let you know whether you’re eligible for All-on-4. Patients who are interested in an implant denture but do not have sufficient jawbone density and do not wish to undergo bone grafting may qualify for All-on-4 because of the angles of the implant posts.
Good candidates for All-on-4 should have an infection-free mouth and commit to maintaining good oral hygiene and quitting bad oral habits (like smoking) to prevent dental implant failure.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implants
All-on-4 can improve your overall quality of life in many ways. For example:
- Your new pearly whites will look and feel as lifelike as your natural ones.
- Your prosthetic will be permanently fixed in place. Not only does this mean it won’t slip around, but oral hygiene is as simple as brushing and flossing every day.
- You’ll enjoy a more powerful bite, making it easier to eat a variety of delicious, healthy foods.
- Dental implants in Mesquite keep your jaw strong, preventing the bone loss that denture wearers often suffer from.
All-on-4 vs. Traditional Dental Implants
Although All-on-4 may not seem that different from a traditional implant denture, there are a few key distinctions that make All-on-4 the superior choice for most patients. These include:
- Implant dentures may require up to eight dental implants per arch. As the name implies, All-on-4 only needs four, making your treatment less expensive.
- In many cases, patients with jawbone loss can still qualify for All-on-4 without bone grafting. Since bone grafting can lengthen your treatment timeline by several months, All-on-4 speeds up the process of rebuilding your smile.
- With All-on-4, it’s possible to have a denture placed on the same day as your dental implant surgery.
