How Do All-on-4 Dentures Work?

Traditional dentures are crafted using a gum-colored base material to provide support for a row of replacement teeth. Without any remaining teeth to provide support for the denture, these prosthetics were crafted to fit against the gum line, creating suction between the gums and denture that provide adequate stability to allow you to speak clearly and smile confidently. For increased stability, dental implants can be used to replace missing tooth roots and anchor the denture. Traditional implant dentures use four to six dental implant posts strategically positioned along the jawline to support the denture. All-on-4 dentures use four dental implant posts uniquely positioned to support a full denture, using the naturally denser parts of the jaw to minimize the need for advance preparatory tissue grafting.

Am I A Candidate for All-On-4 Dentures?

Relatively healthy patients are typically good candidates for All-on-4 dentures. Ideal candidates will meet all of the following criteria:

• Relatively good oral and overall health and/or approval from general physician to undergo minor surgical procedures.
• No negative past experiences with surgical procedures or poor reactions to anesthetic administration.
• Able to make the time and financial commitment to complete the complex, multi-phase All-on-4 tooth replacement plan.

What are the Benefits of All-On-4 Dentures?

When it comes to complete tooth replacement, All-on-4 dentures offer a number of benefits when compared with other treatment options, including:

• Simple treatment – the innovative treatment plan means that most patients don’t need the complex and invasive bone or soft tissue grafts that are often necessary for traditional implant supported dentures, making the entire process faster and easier.
• Improved results – the All-on-4 denture process leads to long-lasting results that feel and function like your healthy, natural smile with diminished risk for implant failure. Once in place, your All-on-4 denture will restore 70% or more of your healthy chewing function, and your denture will last for two decades or longer with proper care.
• Complete confidence – the fully self-supporting All-on-4 dentures will give you the confidence you need to share a smile, eat a meal, and speak clearly in any situation.

All-On-4 VS Traditional Implant Dentures

While traditional dentures are crafted to fit over the top of four to six implant posts that are positioned along the jawline to support the tooth replacement prosthetic. Rather than placing implants across the jawline, the unique All-on-4 denture process offers the same stable and long-lasting results possible with traditional implant dentures, utilizing a simplified process that takes advantage of your natural dental structures. Two implants are placed vertically to support the front of the denture, and the other two implants are positioned diagonally to support the back of the denture while implanting into the naturally denser structures in the front of the mouth.
