ll on 4 is a dental implant technique where the upper or lower set of teeth are replaced with just four implants. These four Implants act as anchors of a new set of fixed teeth.
With the All on 4 procedure, the posterior implants are placed into the anterior maxilla, a region of the jaw with higher bone density. Compared to other implant methods, the All On 4 technique doesn’t require the same density of bone in order to secure the implant.
One of the major benefits that the All-on-4 treatment provides is that results are permanent. Because the All-on-4 system is built on a denture that is securely fastened to the mouth using implants, the connection is not prone to the same problems that result from gum recession, which causes dentures to become loose and uncomfortable over time. All-on-4 provides a permanent solution that results in greater comfort and convenience for the patient.
Maintenance of your All-On-4 Dental Implants is essential for to ensure longevity. Tips on how to maintain your All-On-4 implants are as such:
- Maintain good gum health and oral hygiene
- Have regular dental check-ups.
- Do not place excessive biting forces on the implant due to a dysfunctional bite or by grinding teeth.
- Do not smoke.
