How is All on 4® Different From Other Dental Implants?

All-on-4®and dental implants are different from other generic dental implants in several ways. But first, what is All-on-4® and dental implants? All-on-4® and Dental Implants The All-on-4® treatment is a combination of dental technologies and methods that are used to replace missing teeth. The dental implants are installed in the patient’s jaw to provide a firm and stable foundation to hold the set of replacement teeth. The implants used are a little different from the standard dental implants. Four implants are installed in the jaw, with two being at the front of the mouth and two at the back. Once they are secure and the crown is placed, they can be used immediately. Recovery is fast, and one returns to their daily life and routines quickly. What is the Difference Between All-on-4® and Other Dental Implants? Shorter time The All-on-4® treatment is shorter than other dental implants. This is because other implants may require pre-surgeries and bone grafting procedures. With the All-on-4® process, none of that is necessary. The four implants are also inserted in one dental appointment. At times, the crown is also inserted at the same appointment the implants are inserted. The healing or recovery time is also shorter than others. Tooth appearance All-on-4® replace the entire mouth, and the tooth appearance is consistent. For traditional or other implants, only replace a few teeth in the mouth. Hence the teeth appearance can be inconsistent at times due to the colour and wear and tear. Anchor points Other dental implants have one anchor point for each tooth, so for every missing tooth, you get an implant. For All-on-4®, only four implants are needed for each jaw to support the entire mouth. If you are missing several teeth, it is better to get All-on-4®. Lifelong solution You only need one All-on-4® treatment in your life, and the teeth will last forever. It is a permanent solution, and no replacement is needed after several years. Care and better hygiene Unlike other dental implants, All-on-4® are easy to care for. All you need is the standard practices with your natural teeth; flossing, brushing and going for regular checkups.
