When Should You Consider All-on-4® Dental Implants?

The All-on-4® system is designed for patients missing most or all teeth in an arch, or those with teeth that are no longer restorable. The All-on-4® system replaces a full arch of teeth in the upper or lower jaw.

It’s a good option for those who are missing multiple teeth due to gum disease or other serious dental issues. Sometimes a patient has a few teeth remaining, but they’re so damaged that they eventually need to be extracted. In these cases, we consider full arch replacement.

However, if your remaining teeth are perfectly healthy, you don’t need All-on-4® implants. We recommend other options like an implant-supported bridge or a partial denture.

Full dentures are one of the more conventional choices for replacing missing teeth. But nowadays, many people don’t prefer them because of the difficulty they cause at times while eating or speaking. Some people also feel that they don’t look natural.

All-on-4® dental implants solve these issues. First of all, the full-arch denture is permanently fixed. It uses the support of the four implants placed in your jawbone (hence the name).

This means you get a permanent, more comfortable replacement for your missing teeth.

Moreover, they also look like your real teeth. Even the denture base is made with a gum-colored material that adds to the natural appearance.

When patients come to us at Ace Dental of Texas looking for tooth replacement options, one of their main concerns is: will the treatment results last long?

With proper care, All-on-4® dental implants can provide long-lasting results. The implants merge with your jawbone, which offers sturdy support to withstand routine chewing and biting pressures.

You can eat many of the foods you like, speak comfortably, and show off your beautiful smile for a long time!

Those who have experience wearing removable dentures know that maintaining them can be a bit challenging. You need to remove your denture every night and use denture-specific solutions to keep it clean.

That’s not a problem you’ll have with All-on-4® dental implants. Since they’re permanently fixed, you don’t have to remove them.

You can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean all the surfaces. Our dentists also guide about techniques that can make the cleaning process easier.

All-on-4® dental implants are a fixed, long-term solution for replacing a full arch of missing teeth. If you want to know whether they are right for you, consult our qualified experts at Ace Dental of Texas. Book a consultation with us today.
