When you are missing teeth, it can lead to a deterioration of the jaw bone. All on 4 implants prevent this by acting as tooth roots to stimulate the bones.
They can also decrease facial sagging and help maintain your original smile. In addition, they can be cleaned in the same manner as natural teeth.
Faster Healing Time
For many patients, all on 4 dental implants are a better solution than traditional dentures. They offer stability, prevent bone loss, and improve speech clarity. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on top of the gums and can slip at embarrassing moments, All-on-4 dental implants are secured in the jaw bone with four strategically placed dental implant posts.
The All-on-4 procedure has a number of advantages over traditional implants, including the ability to fit more teeth in one visit. This technique allows us to use fewer incisions and reduce recovery times. It also avoids the need for a bone graft, making it more affordable for patients.
Aside from the fact that the All-on-4 treatment requires fewer surgeries and a shorter treatment period, it also has a lower rate of complications than traditional implants. A common complication of implant surgery is infection, known as peri-implantitis, which can occur when bacteria enters the gum tissue around the implants. If left untreated, this can lead to further tooth loss and implant failure.
All-on-4 dental implants are less susceptible to infection than traditional implants because the two front implants are placed vertically, while the back two are angled backward. This allows them to take advantage of the denser areas of the jaw bone while also avoiding nerves and sinus spaces. Despite their decreased risk of infection, it is still important for patients to follow the recommended instructions after surgery to ensure proper healing and reduced risk of complications.
Less Invasive
Conventional dentures are glued to the gums, which limits your ability to bite and chew. However, All-on-4 implants are screwed into the jaw bone, which allows you to speak and eat normally again. Plus, the implants don’t cover your soft palate, which makes it much easier to taste foods.
The All-on-4 procedure is also less invasive than traditional dental implants, with most patients recovering faster. This is because the implant posts are placed at a 45-degree angle, so they can fuse with the jaw bone more easily. Plus, they don’t require bone grafting as a pre-requisite to the surgery, which is another significant cost-saving benefit.
Finally, All-on-4 dental implants give you a fuller smile than traditional dentures, which can make your face look sunken-in. This treatment can restore a more youthful facial shape and can give you back your confidence to smile without fear of embarrassment.
We’re happy to help you determine whether All-on-4 implants are right for you. During your consultation, we’ll take x-rays and CT scans of your mouth to determine how well you can support the implants and whether you’re a good candidate for the treatment. Then, we’ll perform the surgical part of your treatment under general or local anaesthesia so that you won’t feel a thing! For more information, please contact us today!
Natural Appearance
All on 4 implants can replace a full arch of teeth and look and function like natural teeth. This can be beneficial for people who have lost a large number of teeth and who are not comfortable wearing removable traditional dentures.
Another benefit of all on 4 dental implants is that they are permanent. This means that patients can avoid the need to use adhesives to keep them in place, and they can enjoy a variety of foods without fear of their new teeth falling out or becoming uncomfortable.
This also means that patients will have better oral health and a more youthful appearance. It can be difficult to speak and smile with missing or damaged teeth, but all on 4 implants can restore these issues with ease.
The all on 4 implant procedure also reduces the likelihood of the need for a bone graft, which can significantly speed up recovery and treatment time.
Like other replacement teeth, all on 4 implants must be cared for in the same way as your natural teeth to protect them from deterioration. This includes daily brushing and flossing as well as routine visits to your hygienist and dentist. Keeping your new teeth clean will also help reduce the risk of periodontal disease, which has been linked to heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and other chronic diseases.
Permanent Solution
The All-on-4 dental implant is a permanent solution to missing teeth. Once the restoration is fused to your jawbone, it will stay there for life. That means that you will never have to worry about denture adhesive or taking them out to clean.
The procedure is also more comfortable than traditional dentures. With implants, you can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about them slipping or falling out. You will also be able to smile with confidence without fear of the way your dentures make you look.
Some patients experience tenderness at the implant site. However, this is to be expected following any surgery, including a dental procedure. The pain is usually mild and subsides within a few days.
Another benefit of the All-on-4 implant is that it will help to restore your facial structure. Traditional dentures can cause your cheeks to become sunken, causing you to look older than you are. The All-on-4 will support your jawbone and prevent this from happening, giving you a more youthful appearance.
The All-on-4 is a specialized treatment and should only be performed by an experienced dentist. Make sure to do your research before choosing a surgeon for this procedure. Check to ensure that they perform the procedure under sterile conditions and follow strict Australian infection control guidelines. You should also ask for a Cone Beam CT scan, which will allow them to closely examine your jaws and other structures in your face.
