All-on-4 is an Option to Replace an Entire Arch of Missing Teeth

Why should you consider All-on-4 tooth replacement? Those who have several missing teeth may feel self-conscious of their smile but feel like it would be too expensive to surgically replace them. Millions of people often choose to use dentures instead of opting for costly implant surgery, but many are unaware of All-on-4 implants: an option that can provide patients with a brand-new smile with just one surgery.

What are All-on-4 implants?

The term “All-on-4” simply refers to the total number of dental implants installed in a patient’s mouth. One common misconception is that every missing tooth requires an implant in order to be functional and natural-looking. However, All-on-4 implants can support an entire arch of missing teeth with just four quick implants.

Benefits of All-on-4 implants

Compared to dentures or traditional dental implants, All-on-4 implants offer a number of advantages for patients. Most importantly, they are less expensive than traditional dental implants since they require just one surgery. All-on-4 implants look and function just like natural teeth, so you will not have to adhere to any dietary restrictions that are common for denture users.

The overall treatment process for All-on-4 implants is minimally invasive and takes a mere one to two hours before you will see the beautiful results of your new smile. After a single surgery, you will be on the track toward recovery, and you should expect to see any side effects, such as bleeding or swelling, disappear within a few weeks.

Recovery and maintenance of All-on-4 implants

Traditional dental implants may take months to fully recover from since they usually require multiple surgeries spread out over a number of weeks. Side effects, including stiff jaw, pain, sore throat and bruising, often last longer when a patient must continue going back into surgery before they have fully recovered from the previous operation. However, All-on-4 implant procedures are completed in a single day, so patients experience fewer negative side effects, and their chances of infection are significantly lower.

After a few weeks have passed since an All-on-4 surgery, patients care for their implants just like they would for their natural teeth. The permanent implants can be cleaned with normal dental floss, a toothbrush and toothpaste. Patients with All-on-4 implants can enjoy their life to the fullest without having to buy denture paste or feeling as if they should hide their smile.

If you have been relying on dentures to hide your row of missing teeth, All-on-4 implants can give you a reliable and permanent solution.
