The All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure

All-on-4 is a ground-breaking method for replacing numerous missing teeth and reconstructing a patient's mouth to regain full function. The terrible event of losing your teeth can occur for a variety of reasons. It can occur as a result of various oral health issues, an unintentional blow to the mouth, or tooth decay that has progressed to an advanced degree. Lost teeth are a problem that needs to be properly addressed in order to restore the patient's mouth to full functionality, regardless of the underlying cause.
 
 
Why is the All-on-4 unique?
 
Traditional dentures that merely rest on top of the gums are still highly popular, but many patients find them to have a number of drawbacks. For instance, premature lubrication of denture adhesives is not uncommon, which can lead to unexpected denture separation from the gums, which may be humiliating. The wearer's meal options are also restricted by the denture adhesive's strong adhesion, which can often prevent them from partaking in many of their preferred foods.
 
 
Traditional vs. All-on-4 dental implants
 
The actual dental implant is a tiny titanium screw that is inserted into the jawbone and used to support a single tooth or a bridge of teeth. The new teeth are connected to the titanium implant as its base.
 
To sustain a full fixed bridge using the traditional dental implant surgery, a full arch rehabilitation required 6–8 implants.
 
In contrast, only four implants are required to support the entire arch, two of which are placed at the front of the mouth and two of which are placed at the back of the mouth in an inclined position.
 
The typical full arch teeth replacement technique has a major drawback that results from placing the posterior implants in regions with insufficient bone density. Because fewer implant fixtures are required with the All-On-4 procedure, there is more liberty to design and fit the ideal replacement teeth and the possibility of having all on 4 teeth in a day. This procedure is also less invasive, which speeds up the healing and rehabilitation process.
 
 
All-on-4 implants for those with oral bone issues
 
Patients who struggle with oral bone health now have more options thanks to the All On 4 procedure. For implant candidates in the past, a deficiency in upper jaw bone—often resulting from sinus problems or bone loss—posed a significant obstacle. Bone grafting was frequently necessary to strengthen the jaw enough to support the 6–8 implants that the previous methods required.
 
But, the All On 4 method has significantly improved things. And this is excellent news for people who have osteoporosis or jaw bone deficiency. Because All On 4 does not require bone grafting, individuals with osteoporosis can typically undergo the All on 4 operation.
 
Patients with significantly resorbed upper jaws can say the same. Zygomatic implants are a fantastic alternative. Instead than relying solely on the jaw bone, these lengthier implants anchor to the bottom of the cheekbones through the sinus area.
