All on 4 Dental Implants: Say Hello to Your New Improved Smile!

"This article describes the benefits and advantages afforded by All-on-4 dental implants and the prosthesis attached to them."

If you have lost most of your original adult teeth to a chronic and acute oral condition, then say hello to a new and improved smile with All on 4 dental implants! Developed in the early 1990s by European implantologist Dr. Paulo Malo in collaboration with the world’s leading manufacturers of dental implants, Nobel Biocare, the All on 4 is a technique for oral rehabilitation that has gone on to revolutionize modern dentistry. The All on 4 is capable of unprecedented feats in the treatment of edentulous (not having a single original adult tooth left) and near-edentulous patients, making it the procedure recommended by dentists across the globe. So, what has set this dental implant technique apart from other surgical protocol and tooth replacement technologies? Let’s take a look!

All on 4 Dental Implants: Bite Functionality and Smile Aesthetics

All on 4 dental implants offer patients unrivalled benefits for the support of natural bite functionality and for the correction of smile aesthetics:

• All on 4 dental implants support a fully customized prosthetic dental bridge that is expertly fabricated to be virtually indistinguishable from a full set of natural healthy teeth.

• The support of this bridge by dental implants ensures that it is, unlike dentures, non-removable. In other words, patients receive a full set of teeth that are permanently fixed in the mouth and cannot slip around or fall out.

• The new teeth patients receive with the All on 4 are capable of supporting a natural bite force, enabling them to eat all the foods they love, but previously couldn’t manage with inferior tooth replacement technologies.

• All on 4 bridges are fabricated from high quality durable materials to last decades without needing restoration or replacement.

• All on 4 dental implants do not cause any pain, inflammation or irritation of the underlying soft tissue (the gums). So, unlike dentures, patients will not need to invest in anesthetic gels to make them more comfortable.

• All on 4 dental implants do not (1) trigger the gag reflex, (2) impede taste ability or (3) feel uncomfortable.

All on 4 Dental Implants: Jaw Bone Health and Oral Vitality

In addition to the functional and cosmetic benefits afforded by All on 4 dental implants, this breakthrough tooth replacement technique also supports the long term health of the underlying jaw bone tissue. By transmitting all the forces associated with eating into the jaw bone – as is the case with natural teeth – dental implants play a fundamental role in preventing atrophy of this hard tissue. In doing so, the All on 4 delays the resorption of bone tissue by the way, thus preserving a patient’s natural youthful facial contours. This also means that, unlike removable dentures, patients won’t need to come back to the dentist every few years or so to have ill-fitting dentures re-made and re-fitted.

A Final Note on All on 4 Dental Implants

Tens of thousands of previously edentulous patients have had All on 4 dental implants placed and have only positive things to say about this revolutionary technique for oral rehabilitation. With confident smiles and a much improved quality of life, why opt for removable dentures when the All on 4 offers a far more sophisticated solution?
