Request an AppointmentWhat Exactly Are All-on-4 Dentures?
As the name implies, All-on-4 dentures are custom-made, high-quality prosthetics supported by just four dental implants on the top or bottom arch. These implants are placed at strategic angles throughout the jawbone to support the new denture, allowing it to function like a natural smile.
How Are All-on-4 Dentures Different from Traditional Dental Implants?
Traditional implant dentures typically require six to eight implants to stay stable. But when a patient has lost many teeth, the jawbone has often deteriorated to the point that it can’t support that many implants without a time-consuming bone grafting procedure first. All-on-4 dentures achieve very similar results while saving patients valuable time and money.
What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Dentures?
- They don’t need to be removed and cleaned separately from the rest of the mouth
- No messy adhesives required
- They help prevent further jawbone deterioration
- They help support your facial features and can revitalize your appearance
- Treatment can often be completed in a single appointment, so you’re not left without a confident smile
