WHAT ARE ALL ON 4 DENTAL IMPLANTS?

The All-on-4, also known as All-on-6 or All-on-X, dental Implant procedure is an option for patients who need numerous teeth replaced, or even a whole upper or lower set of teeth. The technique offers an incredible number of advantages over traditional dental implants. By using just 4-6 dental implants instead of one implant per tooth, the procedure is minimally invasive and can replace an entire set of teeth without the need for repeat surgical visits.

TRADITIONAL DENTAL IMPLANTS

With traditional dental implants, patients that required a new set of teeth were looking at having as many as 10 implants surgically placed per jaw! That's 20 in total for oral rehabilitation of both the upper and lower jaw. This not only costs patients an exorbitant amount of money, but it also requires multiple surgeries. As a result, patients can spend up to 18 months in and out of surgery and in and out of recovery. The associated costs of all the consultations, surgeries and time off from work also add up. As a result, traditional dental implant techniques became an option that only a few could afford.

WHAT ALL ON 4 DENTAL IMPLANTS

All on 4 dental implants, as the name suggests, only requires four dental implants per jaw to support a fully customized prosthetic dental bridge. And a total of eight to twelve implants for both jaws can quite easily be placed in a single surgery, in a single day. With only eight implants and a single surgery required for patients to get a brand new set of permanent teeth, the all-on-4 patient saves a lot of money, not to mention all the pain, discomfort, and inconveniences associated with multiple surgeries.
