Why an All-on-Four Implants Are an Easy Way to Improve Your Smile

We can improve your smile with an All-on-Four dental procedure. This is a fast and easy way to get the smile you want after losing teeth or needing to have them replaced. This is a type of dental implant procedure that is faster than traditional ones because instead of every tooth being implanted individually, only four implants are placed per arch. Patients can elect to have both their upper and lower teeth done together or only have one at a time, based on their current needs.

The procedure is ideal for people that are currently wearing dentures but want a more permanent solution that doesn't require additional maintenance or taking them in and out. Once the implants are installed you can care for them like natural teeth by brushing with a regular toothbrush. There are no adhesives or additional components to worry about. This makes it possible for people to wake up in the morning and start their day, without worrying about their teeth. People with active lifestyles will appreciate the convenience. Additionally, they are incredibly strong so you can bite down with normal force and not worry about them breaking or cracking.

All-on-Four dental implants are an easier, faster, and a cheaper procedure than traditional implants which have to be installed one at a time. The procedure is less invasive since only four implants are used per arch. It generally takes around two and a half hours per arch to have them installed so they may be able to be implanted in one visit then the temporary or permanent teeth will be connected. Once completed, they have a 98 percent success rate which makes them a good option for most patients.

Tooth loss can impact people of all ages. Even young adults suffer from this condition with 30 percent of people over thirty having lost at least one adult tooth. Dentures can be uncomfortable and be inconvenient for those with a busy lifestyle that simply want to get up and go in the morning.
