Benefits of All On 4
💫Patients can often receive a temporary set of teeth on the same day as the implant placement, allowing for immediate restoration of function and aesthetics.
💫 Only four implants are used to support a full arch of teeth, making the procedure less invasive than traditional methods that may require more implants.
💫With fewer implants needed and the ability to place them in a single surgery, All-on-4 can be a more economical option compared to other dental implant solutions.
💫 The angled placement of the implants allows them to engage with available bone, which can reduce or eliminate the need for bone grafting procedures.
💫 The implants provide a stable foundation for dentures, improving chewing efficiency and overall oral function compared to traditional removable dentures.
Who Is Not Suitable for All On 4?
While all on 4 implants are an effective solution for missing teeth, they may not be suitable for everyone.Here are some circumstances where the procedure might be contraindicated:
1. Insufficient Bone Density: Patients with significant bone loss in the jaw may not have enough support for the implants. While some may be able to receive bone grafts, others may not be good candidates.
2. Active Gum Disease: Patients with untreated gum disease or oral infections should address these issues before considering implant surgery.
3. Medical Conditions: Certain health conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or blood clotting disorders, can increase the risk of complications during or after the procedure.
4. Smoking: Smoking can impair healing and increase the risk of implant failure, making it a concern for candidates.
5. Poor Oral Hygiene: Patients who cannot commit to maintaining proper oral hygiene may be at a higher risk for implant failure.
6. Anatomical Limitations: Some patients may have anatomical challenges, such as nerves or sinuses located too close to the implant sites, which can complicate the procedure.
7. Age Considerations: While there is no strict age limit, very young patients may still be developing jawbone density, making implants less feasible.
8. Psychological Factors: Patients who have anxiety about dental procedures or unrealistic expectations may not be ideal candidates without proper support and guidance.
9. Certain Medications: Some medications, such as bisphosphonates (used to treat osteoporosis), can affect bone healing and may complicate the implant process.
All On 4 is surgical treatment influenced by various general and local health factors. It is essential to carefully consider all these factors during the planning phase.
