For patients who are missing a full span (or "arch") of teeth, dentures can be anchored using traditional dental implants or a customized system of dental implants called All-on-4.
All-on-4 Dental Implants or Traditional Dental Implant Treatment
All-on-4 dental implants is a treatment method that uses four dental implants to support an upper arch of dentures or a lower arch of dentures within the mouth. If both arches are being supported, then a total of eight implants would be used in this treatment.
When a traditional dental implant treatment is performed, six or more implants are required per arch. That means most patients will need at least 12 traditional dental implants to support both an upper and lower set of dentures.
All-on-4 Treatment System Benefits
1. The All-on-4 system is able to use fewer dental implants to secure a set of dentures within the mouth due to the way in which All-on-4 implants are placed.
2. Unlike traditional dental implants which are placed straight within the bone, All-on-4 implants are placed at an angle at the back of the jaw. Placing the implant at an angle helps maximize the implant's contact with the bone.
3. Maximizing the contact between the implant and the bone also helps many All-on-4 patients avoid the need for bone grafting, which is often needed in traditional dental implant treatment.
In Conclusion: Consider Dental Implants
Dental implants are a treatment option that can permanently replace/restore one, or even a complete arch of missing teeth. Like your natural teeth, implants anchor directly into your bone tissue. When a full arch or span of teeth are missing, the All-on-4 treatment would be the optimal choice. Once the healing process is complete, dental implants look and function just like natural teeth, including the chewing surface and the post that anchors to your jawbone.
