All on 4 same day teeth & Implants
Dental implants are well established as being a great option for replacing missing teeth and securing dentures. Acting as the root replacement for your tooth a dental implant is able to prevent the side-effects of missing teeth such as sunken cheeks, which can often make people appear aged. Now, thanks to a revolutionary technique, there is an exciting new form of dental implant treatment available at Advance Dental Clinic for those who want to have an implant denture, called the All-on-4 system.
Normally, in order to replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw a patient was required to have 6 – 10 dental implants, in order to provide sufficient support for an attached denture. Now, there is no need for such a high number of implants as the All-on-4 system only requires the placement of 4 dental implants, which is able to provide more than enough support for any denture. What’s more, the denture can be attached within hours after the implants are placed.
How can 4 implants provide enough support for a denture?
Well, it is all to do with the angle at which the implants are placed into the jawbone. Normally, a dental implant would be inserted into the jaw at a vertical angle. This is all well and good but there were still cases where even 6 – 10 implants left some dentures feeling loose at times. This is not the case with the All-on-4 system.
The All-on-4 dental implants are placed into the jawbone at a 45 degree angle, thus improving the strength and stability provided to any denture. Another factor that makes the All-on-4 system so appealing is that there is no need to wait months for a denture to be attached, which would normally be the case in order to give time for implants to fuse with the bone properly. With the All-on-4 system a denture can be placed on the very same day.
Though dental implants have long been a great option for missing teeth there have still been instances when an attached denture has felt loose at times, when talking or eating for example. The All-on-4 system gives people the chance to feel what it was like when they had their real teeth once again, in terms of structure and stability, and at an affordable rate.
