Advantages of the All-on-4® Fixed Prosthesis compared to other techniques
Immediate fixed teeth or All-on-4® are the best solution when the remaining teeth in the patient’s jaw are so deteriorated that it is not feasible to treat them. They are a fixed and lasting solution.
Here are some of the advantages of this technique, which allows you to recover your smile and chewing skills in just a few hours:
1. Speech and communication become more natural.
Missing teeth can make it difficult to pronounce words correctly and other options such as dentures occupy a large volume in the mouth, making it difficult to pronounce words some sounds. With fixed teeth, the patient can speak easily and naturally again.
2. Bite and Chew Again!
You will regain the ability to chew, which makes it possible to grind all types of food, something that is impossible to do with removable prostheses. Eating becomes a pleasure!
3. Smile Digitally designed and adapted to each patient.
Thanks to this technique you will be able to see your future smile and make small adjustments.
4. Safe and painless technique.
This procedure has been used successfully in dentistry for over 30 years and is considered extremely safe. In addition, the surgery is performed under local anesthesia by a dentist specializing in oral surgery, so the patient does not suffer any pain or discomfort.
5. High success rate and durability.
It is a highly predictable technique with success rates of around 98% and can be used in all types of of patients (even in smokers).
6. The smile is recovered in a few hours.
At the end of the all-on-4 implant placement surgery, the adaptation of previously planned fixed teeth begins, and the placement of the fixed prosthesis in the mouth. The patient leaves the surgery with his new smile!
7. Fast and comfortable recovery.
Although it seems like a complex procedure, the truth is that the postoperative period is simple, as long as the doctor’s guidelines are followed correctly. After surgery there will be edema (swelling) and some discomfort that will be eliminated through the prescribed medication.
8. New teeth are easy to care for.
Dental implants do not require the purchase of any special cleaning products. No need for cups, cleaning pads, adhesive or special dental floss.
