When Is All-on-4 the Best Option?

Are you missing multiple teeth?

All-on-4 dental implants is a restorative dentistry service that uses 4 implants to replace your entire upper or lower set of teeth.

This allows for a more permanent and natural-looking alternative to removable dentures.

They’re used to replace lost teeth and support your jaw and facial structure.

Not sure if this is the best option for you?

Let’s dive right in so you can have a better understanding of what they are before even stepping into your dentist’s office.

When is All-on-4 the best option?

If you’re missing multiple teeth, all-on-4 could be the right choice for you. People with weakened jawbones may also utilize this treatment.

The benefits of All-on-4 includes:

  • More natural-looking smile compared to dentures
  • Freedom to eat what you want, when you want
  • No gum irritation or pain
  • Preserves jawbone

When you’re missing multiple teeth, your jawbone begins to deteriorate.

Dentures can provide a temporary solution to restore your oral functions such as eating, talking, and laughing, but without a permanent solution, your bones will continue to change and your dentures may not fit properly anymore after some time.

All-on-4 provides ongoing support.

How long do All-on-4 last?

The dental implant posts last a lifetime, and on average, All-on-4 restorations last for 20 years or longer when taken care of properly.

Proper care includes:

  • Brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes
  • Flossing at least once per day
  • Visiting your dentist for routine cleanings and exams
  • Eating a balanced diet
  • Treating your restorations like natural teeth
  • Wearing a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth

Are all-on-4 dental implants comfortable?

Yes, all-on-4 is comfortable.

Because it’s secured in your mouth with dental implants, your smile won’t press down on your gums like traditional dentures.

Plus:

The implants preserve your bone structure so you won’t have to deal with a denture that continually needs adjustments to fit right.

How much does it cost?

The cost varies from patient to patient, depending on the case complexity.

To find out how much it’ll cost, schedule a consultation with your dentist.

At our Franklin dental office, we provide stress-free financing and insurance options.

Does All-on-4 look real?

Yes! All-on-4 is customized to look completely natural and enhance your unique facial features.

Another perk is the implants will support your facial structure, preventing premature aging and that sunken denture look.

They also work just like your real teeth and will restore eating and speaking functionality.
