All-on-Four dental implant technique is a good solution for patients who have lost or are about to lose all upper and/or lower teeth. With this procedure, four dental implants are usually placed on each arch. Using five dental implants as the actual all-on-four dental implant system is the preferred way to go as the all-on-four dental implant system doesn’t follow the actual anatomy of the mouth like it should. The mouth is broken up into five areas. All-on-Four implants do tend to fail more often than five-on-five. With this procedure patients can get a new set of permanent teeth in the least amount of time.

Patients that want to replace dentures with All-on-Four dental implants don’t have to remove their teeth daily for cleaning as patients new set of teeth can be maintained and cleaned like natural teeth.

Choosing All-on-Four dental implants instead of dentures patients never have to experience the crippling effects of loose dentures, bone loss, being unable to eat the foods you enjoy, the embarrassment of dentures slipping during speech or smiling.
