All-On-Four Dental Implants

All-On-Four technique was developed by a Portugese dentist whose name was Dr. Paulo Malo, in cooperation with Nobel Biocare. This technique makes a solution for patients that have too little bone left for dentures or conventional implants.

4 implants are placed in the front of the jaw, where the bone density is usually better. The implants are angled, for more stable base for the denture to anchor.

While the implants are angled, the portions of the implants that the denture attaches to are parallel, and point upward. This is so the screws that attach the denture to the implants can attach normally, with a stable, secure fit.

The All-On-Four approach is not appropriate for everyone, and absolutely has to be treated by a specific dentist who is enough trained and familiar with this technique. Those doctors will help you decide whether this is the right solution for you.

Common Treatment Choice for Denture Wearers-

many of denture wearers are too familiar with the events that take place after having a full arch of remaining teeth removed.

Discounting the expected initial discomforts of being toothless and becoming accustomed to wearing a denture, the average denture wearer begins the process of making changes in eating habits, create new choices of what to eat, monitor changes in certain speech sounds, refrain from smiling too broadly and being careful about spontaneous laughter.

Depending on how often denture products are relined (to compensate for loosening fit due to gum tissue loss) or replaced (again, to overcome a loose fit) the majority of dentures wearers can maintain decent dental function and cosmetics for 10 - 15 - 40 years or more.
