Amazing Benefits of All-On-4 Dental Implants

21st November 2019

The term All-on-4 dental implant refers to a fixed prosthesis consisting of 10 to 14 teeth that are supported on just four implants.

It is a surgical procedure for total rehabilitation of patients with decayed teeth, badly broken down teeth, or periodontal disease.

All these oral conditions can lead to poor oral and overall health, and can also affect the patients’ self-esteem and quality of life.

The All-on-4 dental implant solution enhances your oral health and overall well-being. It’s also an efficient solution that saves you some time and prevents you from spending extra cash. The all-on-4 procedure is done by placing four implants in the anterior maxillae where the bone density is higher.

This technique has been identified as a potential and valid less expensive alternative to conventional implant techniques.

And today, it has increased in popularity as more clinicians now recommend it for their patients.

All-On-4 As Treatment Technique Has the Following Characteristics

  • Four dental implants to support a full fixed denture
  • The use of angulated implants to overcome bony deficiencies
  • Immediate loading

There is a common question or a direct challenge to the All-On-4 procedure which is ‘can all the bottom and top set of teeth in the mouth be replaced by just four implants?” The answer is simply yes, thanks to thetechnological advancements in cosmetic dentistry.

Tooth loss is a common occurrence among adults, and its chances increase with age. Instead of living with the hassles and discomfort of dentures, lots of people are opting for AO4 because it is now regarded as a simplified way of replacing decayed or missing teeth.

All-On-4 Implants Vs Conventional Implants

In AO4, only four implants that are strategically placed in a thick jawbone area are required to replace your entire set of teeth, while traditional implants require doubled of what is required for All-on-4 implants per arch.

All-on-4 implants are more stable and secure in the jaw since they are at a certain angle to each other. The procedure also does not require bone grafting as in conventional implants which saves time and makes it more cost-effective.

What Is the All-On-4 Dental Implant Procedure Like?

The procedure basically involves the use of anesthesia, preparation of the area, implant installation, and post-operative cleaning and suturing.

The procedure may look scary if you’re getting it for the first time. The fear is mostly generated by uncertainty. The following are the four major steps involved in getting an All-On-4 dental implant.

1. Your dentist will want to make sure that you are comfortable, so anesthesia will be administered.

2. The dentist will prepare your mouth for the implants as he removes your remaining failing teeth and infected tissue from your gums or jaw.

3. He will then start the installation process. The titanium screws will be inserted into your jawbone. Two implants will be placed toward the front of your mouth and two towards the posterior of your mouth so that the pressure of the denture is evenly bear by the strategically placed anchors.

4. After the implantation, surgical sites will be wholly cleaned and all incision will be sutured. You will then be taken to the recovery room where you take time to relax and wake up from the anesthesia.

Benefits of All-On-4 dental implants procedure

If it is a choice by many, it must have some benefits attached to it. Here are some of the benefits of the AO4 dental procedure.

1. Immediate Results

Within 24 hours, you can replace your entire denture and have a permanent implant-supported bridge with as few as four dental implants.

Hence, it is called a smile-a-day procedure. There is no waiting period for its usage, and you can experience enhanced chewing ability, teeth stability, and overall comfortability almost immediately.

2. Improved Appearance

Chances are that when you lose your entire teeth as a result of shrinkage of the jawbone supporting it, you will be looking older than your age. A dental implant can help to prevent this from happening or correct it when it does.

The All-on-4 procedure helps to preserve the jawbone and prevent further damage to the facial structure associated with missing teeth.

It significantly decreases the wrinkles associated with missing tooth or bone structure, whose end result is looking younger with a more radiant smile.

3. It Helps Improve Chewing and Make You Enjoy Your Favorite Foods Again

With the All-on-4 procedure, your overall eating habits will experience a boom. You can eat what you want when you want, and where you want.

The dental procedure allows you to enjoy your favorite foods again. Whether in public or in your home, you can now sit back and have a pleasant bite of your desserts.

4.  It Helps You Get a Long-Lasting Smile

With the AO4 procedure, a set of permanent teeth with a non-removable implant-supported bridge will be created. The dental implant bridge formed is stable and comfortable.

Unlike a normal denture, it doesn’t cause any discomfort or embarrassment. After placement, no adjustment is needed and it will normally serve you for life.

5. It Improves Your Quality Of Life

When you have a good set of teeth, your confidence will surely receive a boost, aside from the greater comfort you will experience.

These are what you experience with All-on-4 dental implants. Generally, you will look better, feel better, and have a renewed outlook.

6. Eliminates Health Issues Associated With Failing and Missing Teeth

The All-on-4 dental implant procedure helps in reducing the chances of periodontal diseases and thus, create a healthier mouth and a healthier body.

Over time, periodontal diseases which are mostly caused by bacterial infection has been linked to diabetes, stroke, heart attack, and other chronic diseases.

Because dental implants help in restoring your mouth to its natural state, they may help to check the periodontal diseases.

By taking good care of your mouth with regular brushing and flossing, dental implants will enhance your overall health.

7. No-Risk of Shifting or Slipping

The all-on-4 dental implant is very stable and reliable. There is no need to worry about shifting or slipping because it is firmly anchored to the angulated area of the thick jawbone.

8. Reduced Healing Time

The All-on-4 dental implant procedure does not only saves time and money but it also significantly reduces the healing time and alleviates the emotional stress you feel when you don’t like your look.

9. Eliminates or Reduces Bone Resorption (Bone Atrophy)

Bone Atrophy is a condition characterized by wasting away of the bone density when there is an excessive breakdown of bone substances and structure.

The all-on-4 procedure helps in managing this condition.

10. It saves time and cost

All-On-4 procedure shadow some steps that are usually done during conventional dental implant sessions such as grafting. Grafting is exempted from All-On-4 dental implants in Leicester, which drastically reduces the cost of the operation and also the time that would have been expended on
