Below, we will look at 6 benefits of All-on-4 dental implants and how they can improve your quality of life.
1. Fewer Implants
An implant is a small, metal rod that is inserted into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or crown. Typically, each tooth requires its own implant. With All-on-4 dental implants, you only need four implants to support an entire set of teeth.
Inserting an implant is a surgical procedure that involves cutting into the gums and bone. Fewer implants mean fewer incisions and stitches, which results in a shorter recovery time.
2. Smaller Posts
The posts used in All-on-4 dental implants are smaller than traditional implants, so the surrounding bone can bond more easily to the metal post in a shorter time period.
3. Ideal for Patients with Bone Loss
Some people may not be able to get traditional implants due to bone loss, which most often occurs in the back of the jaw. With All-on-4 dental implants, the four implants are placed towards the front of the jaw, where there is plenty of bone to secure them. They are set at an angle beneath the gum line to support the rear part of the bridge.
4. One Short Procedure
The All-on-4 dental implant procedure takes merely hours. The bridge is fabricated on our in-house, 3-D printer, and patients walk out with a brand new smile shortly thereafter. This streamlined process makes getting new teeth as stress-free as possible.
5. Long-Lasting
Just like your natural teeth, All-on-4 dental implants can last many years with proper care. Serious gum disease can wreak havoc on them, so consistent brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are critical to their longevity.
6. Comfortable
These implants are made to look and feel natural, so you can enjoy eating and living your life without any discomfort. They are designed to seamlessly fit in your mouth, so you forget they are even there.
Conclusion
Gone are the days of long, drawn-out dental procedures. Using minimal surgery and advanced technology, this procedure gives you comfortable, natural-looking teeth with only a brief recovery. With All-on-4 dental implants, you can get a brand new smile in just hours — and with proper care, that smile can last you the rest of your life.
