Missing teeth can decrease a person’s self-esteem and confidence. If you are afraid to talk, laugh, or smile, it’s time to resolve this issue. There are a number of options, but all-on-four is a great option that is both effective and cost-efficient.

What is All-On-Four?

All-on-four is a bridge that cannot be removed.  It consists of a total of four implants and denture plate attachments. The plates are secured to the implants, and the implants are secured into your gums and jawbone. 

Why is All-On-Four the Best Option?

Like any type of dental work, options for replacing missing teeth must meet the specific needs of each individual patient.  If you have lost all or most of your natural teeth, AO4 may be ideal for you. An all-on-four provides advantages that you would not find in other methods of tooth replacement.

All-On-Four will stay in place. Unlike traditional dentures that can slip and move, All-On-Four will not affect your speech or eating habits. You can have better overall health because you can eat a nutritious diet instead of restricting food choices to products that are easy to chew.  You will be able to speak clearly and have confidence in your smile.  

All-On-Four will also improve your facial structure. While your appearance is important, there are health benefits, too. Unlike traditional dentures, all-on-four prevents bone loss. You can look younger and more attractive, and enjoy good health.

More Benefits of All-On-Four

Health, confidence, and appearance are reasons to choose all-on-four, but there are additional benefits to this fixed device.  One example is the cost.  Tooth replacement with implants can be quite expensive if you are missing all or most of your teeth.

In contrast, traditional dentures are not nearly expensive, but the upkeep of dentures can become costly.  If you consider the costs of realigning and replacing dentures, you will see it is not a one-time investment.

Choosing All-On-Four Implant Dentures  

If you have any remaining teeth, they will need to be removed before your All-On-Four procedure. The implants will be securely implanted, and the custom-fitted plates will be attached. All-On-Four is an efficient way to replace missing teeth.  

All-on-Four implants do not require more than normal maintenance, but there are a few tricks to keep them in great shape. The acrylic material needs to be kept clean, and you should avoid putting too much pressure on the plate when you eat.  

Total Oral Health With All-On-Four

There can be reasons to choose dental implants or traditional dentures. Implants can be useful if you are only missing a few teeth, and dentures can be appropriate for individuals who want a removable device. However, if these examples do not describe you, consider all the benefits of All-On-Four.

You can have total oral health when you are no longer missing teeth. You can have a nutritious diet for your physical health, too.  You will also appreciate your new, youthful appearance. If you have struggled with embarrassment from gaps in your smile, you will notice the difference immediately.
