This article draws comparisons between that traditional teeth replacement solution, removable dentures, and the vastly improved ‘All-on-Four’ dental implant technique.

 

If you are looking at an imminent future of edentulism (or ‘toothlessness’), then perhaps you have become acquainted with that extraordinary feat of modern dental science; All on Four dental implants. Innovated by European implantologist Dr. Paulo Malo, All on Four dental implants are taking the world by storm with their ability to give patients suffering from tooth loss and edentulism brand new teeth in as little as a single day! Yes, you read this right: new teeth in a single day. Thanks to All on Four dental implants, removable dentures or ‘false teeth’ have become one of those antiquities of medical science that, once essential, have largely become obsolete. So, if you were dreading the day that you would have to get the last of your failing teeth extracted and your own false teeth fitted, then fear not. If you enjoyed having permanent teeth once-upon-a-time, then All on Four dental implants offer incredible solutions that could only be believed in a fairy tale story!

All on Four Dental Implants: What They Are; How They Work

All on Four dental implants consist of the permanent affixing of a fully customized prosthetic dental bridge to – as the name suggests – four dental implants in the mouth. The dental bridge is essentially a rigid titanium frame structure that supports a full set of artificial ceramic teeth that are fabricated to be virtually indistinguishable from natural healthy teeth. While the concept of a bridge may sound very similar to that of removable dentures or false teeth, we can assure you right here and right now that they are not! First of all, the prosthetic bridge that is affixed to the All on Four dental implants is not removable and so, just like your once-healthy teeth, you take them with you everywhere:

•    No removal at nighttime and after meals,

•    They are cleaned just like normal teeth with regular brushing and flossing

•    They do not shift around and cannot fall out

The real secret behind the success of All on Four dental implants is the precise positioning and careful angulation of the dental implants in regions of the mouth that naturally contain a greater volume of more atrophy-resistant bone tissue. This enables even those patients that present with advanced periodontal (gum) disease and a deplorable standard of oral health to get a second chance at beautiful a much better quality of life with a teeth replacement solution that is highly safe and successful.

All on Four Dental Implants: A Final Note

In spite of the incredible solutions afforded by All on Four dental implants, there are still millions of people that wear removable dentures and continue to have them fitted! One can only guess that dental science is undergoing an important transition, but in any case ‘false teeth’ – as they are colloquially known – are still around in spite of there being far more advanced and advantageous dental implant techniques such as All on Four dental implants.
