All-on-4® is becoming a highly popular choice for teeth replacement among individuals who need to replace all or most of their teeth on a specific row. The All-on-4 technique optimizes the dental implants process for those who need full arch replacement to minimize the invasiveness, cost, and time that it takes to complete the process.
The following review is everything that dentists want their patients to know before All-on-4 treatment. Those who are seriously considering All-on-4 should schedule a consultation to discuss the specifics of their situation and to receive a personalized and more detailed treatment plan.
All-on-4 is a form of teeth replacement designed to replace an entire row of teeth (either upper or lower). Treatment involves four strategically placed dental implants inside the jaw. These four implants serve as the support system for the dental restoration. Attached to each dental implant is an abutment, which connects the implant and the restoration. The third component of All-on-4 treatment is the restoration, which is a complete denture that covers the full arch for either all the upper teeth or lower teeth.
All-on-4 dental implants are designed for individuals who have most of their teeth missing or severely damaged on either the upper or lower row of teeth. It is an alternative to traditional complete removable dentures, which are supported by the gums rather than implants. All-on-4 is also ideal for those who want a permanent, non-removable teeth replacement solution that can last for more than 25 years in some cases. However, the individual must be willing and able to go through a longer and more extensive treatment process than what is required with alternative full-arch teeth replacement solutions.
The All-on-4 treatment process looks different for every patient based upon the specifics of their situation. Some patients require procedures such as a bone graft before the placement of the implants to ensure that the implants are adequately fixed in the jaw. The next step is the placement of the four dental implants, which can be done during the same procedure. After the mouth heals, the abutments and the complete, non-removable denture are attached to complete the restoration.
One of the best benefits of choosing All-on-4 is that the restoration looks and feels natural, and patients can care for their new smile the same way that they would for their natural teeth. This includes regular brushing and dental visits for cleanings and check-ups.
Casas Adobes Dentistry utilizes zirconia material for the restoration, which is stain resistant and will not chip or wear out like older All-on-4 technology, which utilizes plastic for the restoration. All-on-4 using zirconia material is more hygienic to ensure a longer-lasting teeth restoration with less complications.
