How it Works
All-on-Four is a relatively simple procedure that allows you to have a permanent and strong set of teeth. Four titanium implants are placed that integrate with your jaw, providing additional strength, as well as greatly reducing the risk of bone atrophy. A full set of teeth is attached to these implants, meaning you can treat them just like you would your natural teeth. You can speak, eat, brush, and sleep with them as you wish.
All-on-Four vs. Traditional Dentures
- Permanent Implants – Unlike dentures that are removable or may fall out of position, All-on-Four is secured in place and designed to provide strong teeth for the rest of your life.
- Immediate use – The procedure to have All-on-Four put in only takes one visit. Plus, you will be able to use your new set of teeth to use the very same day.
- Simpler maintenance – There is no need to change how you already take care of your teeth. Instead of soaking them externally to clean them like dentures, you can brush your teeth like you always have.
- Eliminate bone issues – Your jawbone needs to have the roots of your teeth in order to remain strong. With dentures, it is possible for your jaw to deteriorate and for further oral problems to develop. By integrating right into your jaw, All-on-Four maintains the bone integrity and strength.
