Welcome back to our three-part article series on the many wonderful ways the All On 4 dental implant protocol can change your life. In our previous article installment we discussed how the protocol gives patients new teeth that are non-removable and in doing so, eliminates the challenges typically associated with wearing dentures. We also explained that the use of dental implants facilitates a strong and natural bite, thus enabling patients to eat their favorite foods. In this article installment, Part 2 of the series, we shall discuss the other benefits the All On 4 offers over conventional removable dentures.
All On 4: Eliminating Daily Challenges Associated with Denture Wearing
Dentures are constructed to be very bulky because their mass helps to keep them stabilized in the mouth. As a result, they tend to be very uncomfortable for patients to wear and cause problems such as inflamed gums, difficulty eating, a triggered gag reflex (caused by rubbing against the soft palate) and the compromised ability to sense the taste, temperature and the texture of your food. The All On 4, on the other hand, supports ...
... a dental bridge that is far slimmer in construction and because of its lesser bulk, feels far more like natural teeth. You can enjoy your food again!
Dentures also tend to harbor food debris, which fosters an environment favorable for bacterial growth. This is why many denture wearers struggle with chronic bad breath aptly referred to as ‘denture breath’. If denture wearers do not frequently removed their teeth for cleaning, they can quite easily suffer from very compromising social embarrassment. This is not even to mention the inconvenience of having to slip away after every meal to clean your teeth, especially if you are at a social event with friends. To many people, the All On 4 is quite simply the healthier lifestyle option.
All On 4: Improved Smile Confidence
Having teeth that constantly visibly move around in your mouth when eating and speaking can prove to be very socially awkward. Because the All On 4 bridge is secured tightly in the mouth by dental implants, patients feel far freer to smile and talk openly with friends and colleagues. The fact that the All On 4 promotes such a beautiful smile is a major advantage, because your smile is quite simply one of your most important physical aspects, whether you are at work, with family or spending time with friends.
The All On 4 Saves Patients Thousands on Denture Products
In order to combat many of the challenges associated with removable dentures, many people are forced to purchase products such as anesthetic gels (to numb the pain caused by dentures rubbing against gums), adhesives (to help stabilize dentures), and cleaning and soaking solutions. This is in addition to having to replace dentures every few years or so as a result of the changing shape of your jawbone. People without teeth tend to suffer from a loss of bone volume in the jaw as a result of hard tissue atrophy.
