Take a Look at the Ideal All-on-4® Candidate
Our All-on-4® tooth replacement system may be the ideal option for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth. Without any teeth, these individuals will experience such significant bone loss that they may be unable to wear a traditional denture. Though implants do require some bone density for complete support, All-on-4 posts are much smaller than traditional implants. Furthermore, Dr. Tye will place them at an angle. Thus, he can maximize the remaining healthy tissue and often eliminate the need for bone grafting. Consequently, All-on-4 can also be right for patients who are not candidates for traditional dental implants due to bone loss.
Finally, Implant supported bridges or implant supported dentures off many benefits for anyone who would prefer permanent teeth over dentures or dental bridges. Traditional dentures are removable and require adhesive. Therefore, denture wearers often have pronounced dietary restrictions, and they suffer from embarrassing slippages when eating or speaking. Because All-on-4® implants are permanently set in the mouth, the denture will never move around once it is in place.
Nonetheless, patients must meet appropriate health standards to qualify for implants. Candidates should have overall good health with no autoimmune diseases, diabetes, or related conditions that could affect healing.
