For many years, the only alternatives available to individuals who have lost a tooth were dentures and bridges.
However, recent advancements in dentistry now permit the use of dental implants, including innovative solutions like All-on-4® dental implants. These All-on-4® implants employ a unique technique that involves securing a full arch of teeth to just four strategically placed implants in the jaw. This provides stable support for artificial teeth while minimizing the need for extensive surgery and bone grafting.
Typically crafted from biocompatible materials like titanium, these replacement tooth roots offer stable support for artificial teeth. Additionally, bridges and dentures can be affixed to All-on-4® implants, and with crowns placed over them, individuals may not even realize that teeth have been lost.
Several advantages come with using dental implants, particularly All-on-4®:
- Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
- Enhanced Appearance and Comfort: Dental implants, including All-on-4®, resemble natural teeth and provide a comfortable, natural feel.
- Increased Self-Esteem: Regain confidence in your smile and speech without worrying about displaying a gap in your teeth.
- Improved Speech: Unlike ill-fitting dentures, dental implants help you speak more clearly without slipping issues.
- Convenience: Unlike removable dentures, dental implants, including All-on-4®, are permanent and don’t require messy adhesives.
- Ease of Eating: Enjoying food becomes easier without concerns about denture slippage or discomfort during chewing.
- Enhanced Oral Health: Unlike traditional bridges that may involve removing adjacent teeth, dental implants, such as All-on-4®, preserve surrounding teeth and facilitate better oral hygiene.
