All-on-4®

If you are missing an entire arch of teeth, you may be fearful of traditional full dentures. You might be worried about them staying in place or about whether or not they look natural within your smile. Thanks to continued dental advancements, patients now have a wide range of solutions to choose from you achieve their oral health goals. This includes the use of all-on-4 dental implants for arch restoration.

What Are All-on-4 Implants?

All-on-4 implants are four dental implants strategically placed along the dental arch to secure a full denture in place. The function and fit of these dentures are far superior to traditional complete dentures that require suction or denture adhesives to keep them in place—as best as possible. When it comes to addressing an entire arch of missing teeth, no other restoration beats the stability, strength, and comfort of all-on-4 implants, sometimes referred to as implant-retained dentures.

What Are the Benefits of All-on-4 Implants?

There are several advantages provided by all-on-4 implants. They:

  • Provide full-arch restoration with just four implants, reducing recovery time and cost
  • Lowers the need for bone grafting surgery
  • Provides greater stability and strength thanks to the bone used as a foundation
  • Are more comfortable than conventional dentures because they are secured in place and function more like natural teeth
  • Stay in place, eliminating the risk of embarrassment from dentures falling out while eating or engaging in conversation
  • Provide proper fit for dentures to keep them from slipping and irritating the gum tissue
  • Do not require messy denture adhesives

Talk to our experienced prosthodontist at Bentz Dental Group to evaluate your smile and current dental situation to determine if you are a proper candidate for all-on-4 implants or other smile restoration options available at our office. We invite those who live in the East Norriton, PA area and are considering implant-supported dentures to find out more from Dr. Robert Bentz.

How Long Does It Take To Recover From All-on-4 Implants?

The process of osseointegration takes some time to occur, typically several months. We encourage you to be patient during this process as the bone wraps around the implants to provide them with the solid, sturdy foundation they need to function at their best. Once in place, the appropriate dental restoration can be seated over the implant abutments to complete the process.

How Do You Maintain All-on-4 Implants?

Your all-on-4 implants require attention just as your natural teeth do. Be sure to remove the appliance as needed to brush and floss as directed by your dental provider from Bentz Dental Group in East Norriton, PA.

How Many Teeth Can You Add With All-on-4-Implants?

An entire dental arch can be used with all-on-4 implants, including the upper and/or lower jaw. The denture restoration made for over the implants is created to match the patient’s other dental arch for a natural finished appearance.

Are All-on-4 Implants Comfortable?

As with many dental restorations, all-on-4 implants have an adjustment period. However, Dr. Robert Bentz of Bentz Dental Group can give you tips to make this transition smooth. After a short time, you may even forget that you have all-on-4 implants. They are far more comfortable than traditional dentures, which may slip, slide, and irritate your gums.
