Five Ways All-on-4® Is Better Than Dentures
November 22, 2016
The All-on-4® dental implant procedure is an excellent alternative to dentures. If you are facing tooth loss or edentulism, you can have an entire row of teeth replaced quickly and easily and return to your normal life. Learn more about the procedure that Dr. Darryl Burke is ready to offer you.
What is All-on-4®?
The All-on-4® procedure may sound complicated, but it is actually quite simple, requiring only one visit to complete. Four titanium implants are placed, which act as the foundation for your new row of teeth. To avoid bone atrophy problems, these implants integrate right into your jaw. All-on-4® is an especially appealing option if you suffer from poor bone density. With the back two implants put in at an angle, the prosthetic teeth are as strong as possible.
The Benefits of All-on-4®
All-on-4® sets itself apart from dentures by offering:
- Shorter procedure time – In just one visit, you will have a fully functional and new set of temporary teeth. After three to six months, once the implants have integrated properly, you will gain your permanent teeth.
- Greater strength – The dental implant that All-on-4® offers allows you to treat them like your natural teeth. No special care is necessary when eating, brushing, or sleeping. They are intended to be permanent teeth that will last your entire life after all.
- Little to no recovery time – You should be able to use your new teeth as soon as the same day that you have them placed.
- Simple maintenance – With no diet restrictions and straightforward maintenance requirements, it is easier than ever to preserve your new smile.
- Avoid bone problems – Without an implant that is rooted in your jaw, such as with dentures, problems can develop. All-on-4® prevents these issues by integrating the implant into your bones.
