All On 4 Dental Treatment
Verses Other Implants

All On 4 implants are different. Firstly, they are fixed into the gap caused
by missing teeth in a rear angle that minimises pain and discomfort –
which would be caused if they were fitted horizontally. This means there is
no possibility of them slipping or becoming distorted like there is with
removable dentures. This makes it much easier for the wearer to talk and
eat without any embarrassment or discomfort. They are also less
cumbersome to the patient as they do not cover as large a surface area.
Removable dentures cover the entirety of the mouth while All On 4
covers only a small percentile of the actual gum. This makes the patient a
lot more comfortable as the implants do not have to take up huge
amounts of the limited space in their mouth. Also, the join is hidden
behind the lips and thus the implants will not be exposed when the
wearer smiles. This makes people feel much less self-conscious about their
smiles.
Usually, when replacing a lot of missing teeth in a jaw requires a mixture
of single-tooth implants as well as dental bridges. Both of these
techniques involve drilling holes and sockets into the jaw bone for eight
to ten implants. However, All On 4 requires a significantly lower number of
implants – four. This is cheaper and a lot more comfortable for the
patient. Less materials and time are required for this one-day process with
almost no recovery time needed. There will be no six-month healing
period when a patient has All On 4 implants.
