What Are All-On-4 Dental Implants and Are You a Candidate?
January 4, 2018
The new year is right around the corner, and you have the chance to make some positive changes about the way you look, the health of your mouth and the way you feel about yourself. If you have missing teeth or are about to lose all your teeth and have been considering all-on-4 dental implants, we are here to help you understand the benefits and determine if you are a good candidate or not.
Benefits of All-On-4 Implants
Implants are a permanent solution to a problem that plagues over 35 million Americans. They can improve appearance and function, and simply make you feel better about the way you look. The benefit of all-on-4 implants is that they can replace more teeth at once. With just four different implants, the entire bottom or top of the mouth can be replaced quickly. You get a full arch of teeth faster and with less work.
This procedure is not only for those who are missing or want to replace all their teeth. It can also be beneficial for those who have a few missing teeth but want the natural, beautiful look that comes from an all-on-4 implant rather than a mix of their natural teeth and implants.
Are You a Good Candidate?
There are some important things to consider before you decide that implants are right for you. We encourage you to set up a meeting with Dr. Crandall to discuss your specific situation and goals before you make any final decisions. Most candidates for implants fit the following guidelines:
- Overall good health for surgery
- Have no conditions or medications that impair the body’s natural ability to heal
- Strong jawbone and gum line
- Good overall oral health
