All-on-Four® Dental Implants: Why They Are a Popular Choice for Tooth Replacement

Many people want to have stable and presentable dental replacements. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry recognizes this demand. All-on-4® dental implants provide a stable, less invasive way to regain dental health. This dental replacement is gaining a strong following. You may be one of those who are considering this procedure. Here are the details to know why these restorations are so popular. 

They Are Easy to Maintain

Traditional dentures can be time-consuming to maintain. You must remove, clean, and soak them overnight. During the day, you must glue them on to secure them in your mouth while talking, eating, or laughing. Many patients often clean their traditional dentures after every snack or meal. This practice can be exhausting, especially if you have a busy schedule. 

With All-on-4 implants, you do not need to remove your overdentures anymore. You just need to care for them as you care for your natural teeth. Flossing, brushing, and using an antibacterial mouthwash are enough. The implants will keep the overdentures stable. They will stimulate your jawbone and keep it thick and healthy. Seeing your dentist will help keep your implant sites infection-free. 

They Are Affordable

Replacing every tooth in your dental arch with a dental implant can be expensive. But with an All-on-4 procedure, your dental restoration costs will go down. You do not need to pay for more than four dental implants, especially if you need to replace a full dental arch. The costs will just cover the overdentures and four dental implants. 

They Are Quick to Get

This dental restoration will not take very long to get. You will likely have only one appointment for an All-on-4 procedure. The consultation already gave your dentist valuable information about where to put the dental implants. Four implants will be enough to secure the overdentures. 

They Do Not Need Bone Grafts to Stabilize

Regular implants need a dense jawbone for stability and support. Patients who want to have them will need bone grafts to provide the implants the foundation they need. If you want All-on-4 implants, you do not need a bone graft procedure anymore. Your dentist will position your implants at a certain angle. This will attach the implants to the denser parts of the jawbone. This means that the implants will not be limited to one area. 

They Function Right Away

Because you can get All-on-4 dental implants in one appointment, you can use them right away. You can smile with them and even eat soft foods as long as you manage the pain with the medications from your dentist. These restorations can function much better after only a few days if you work with your dentist to maintain them.
