Welcome back to our four-part article series on the key features and benefits of the “All-on-4TM” dental implant protocol. In our previous article post, the first installment of the series, we provided a brief description of the procedure itself before discussing its ability to bypass the need for bone grafting surgery prior to implant placement. As we explained, this key feature saves patients in need of new teeth the ordeal of undergoing such an invasive procedure, while also saving them thousands of dollars on medical bills. This feature of the “All-on-4TM” is also what enables skilled and experienced specialists to provide patients with new teeth in as little as one day!
Let’s take a look at what else this “breakthrough” procedure for the treatment of edentulism (not having a single original adult tooth) and near-edentulism has to offer…
2. The “All-on-4TM” Has an Incredible Success Rate
The “All-on-4TM” procedure is very safe, very predictable and offers patients excellent outcomes. This is true in both the short and the long-term. More than 95% of patients who have had new teeth ...
... implants placed are still enjoying their benefits after 10 years. In fact, if cared for properly, the “All-on-4TM” implants and bridge can last several decades and even a lifetime without the need for restoration or any additional dental work.
In addition to the longevity of the “All-on-4TM” prosthesis, patients also benefit from what the dental implants do for their jawbones. By replacing the source of stimulation that used to be provided by the natural tooth roots, the “All-on-4TM” helps to preserve the health of the jawbone. This prevents atrophy and jawbone shrinkage, which is what causes that unnatural, sunken-in face we typically associate with elderly removable denture wearers.
So, not only does the “All-on-4TM” enjoy a 95% success rate over a period of 10 years, it also preserves the health of the jawbone and, by their very relationship, a patient’s natural youthful facial contours.
3. The “All-on-4TM” Gives Patients Beautiful and Natural-Looking Teeth
The prosthetic dental bridge affixed to the abutments of the “All-on-4TM” implants is custom fabricated in an on-site laboratory to fit the natural contours of a patient’s mouth. It’s also skillfully rendered so as to closely resemble a natural set of healthy teeth and gums, thus restoring a patient’s smile, confidence and self-esteem. The materials used in its construction are incredibly sturdy and durable and they also mimic the natural optical properties of dental enamel and gum tissue. This gives patients an extremely natural-looking set of teeth, which is a great confidence booster in both the social environment and workplace.
Unlike removable dentures, the “All-on-4TM” bridge is not bulky – it doesn’t have to be because it is anchored in the mouth with implants. It is the bulkiness of dentures that patients typically object to, as they can be intrusive on the space for the tongue making speech more difficult (especially when they are loose) or cover the palate, compromising a patient’s ability to taste the foods they love.
