The All On 4 Treatment Concept The All-on-4® Treatment Concept is a revolutionary way for patients to get four dental implants placed in their mouth at once. This type of treatment can help people who are missing teeth and have been waiting years to find the right dental solution. Dental implant surgery has come a long way, but it's still not an option for everyone with missing teeth. The All-on-4 Treatment Concept uses four implants instead of the traditional six or eight, which gives more stability and strength to replace a full arch of natural teeth. At Greater Ohio Oral & Facial Surgery, we have seen how beneficial this treatment is and encourage our patients to look into it.What is All on 4 Treatment?The All-on-4 procedure is revolutionary as we can use it for most people, including those with severe bone loss. It doesn't involve any of the typical procedures that are performed when there is no available bone in your jaw or if you have a weakened jawbone. In this procedure, four dental implants will be placed on each quadrant (upper and lower) of the patient's mouth to have four teeth per segment rather than two like a traditional denture would provide them. This way, the patient doesn't need to move their tongue around to chew certain foods, as they do with missing teeth. All-on-4 replaces missing teeth by reconstructing them using artificial materials. Benefits of All-on-4 treatmentThe All-on-4 Treatment Concept has many benefits. One of the most notable is that it eliminates any prosthetic dentures or bridges, thereby reducing complications and improving eating quality. The All-on-4 implant system also improves speech by eliminating snoring, which can be a symptom of sleep apnea. In addition to these advantages, patients who have had this procedure celebrate being able to chew with natural teeth again. They say they enjoy biting into an apple, knowing there are no fillings in danger of breaking off or unexpected pieces coming loose from their tooth structure. All-on-4 implants offer patients the ability to take care of themselves for years on end without worrying about pain or discomfort due to their teeth. Who Should Get the All-on-4 Treatment Concept?The All-on-4 treatment is a solution that replaces complete sets of natural teeth in one day. The procedure can be used on patients who are missing all of their upper or lower posterior teeth (including premolars) but still have some front teeth remaining intact. The All-on-4 Treatment Concept is an ideal solution for those who do not want dentures and cannot wear partial plates because of their medical or physical condition. We can also use the process on patients with chronic dry mouth conditions that make it difficult to clean traditional dental prostheses properly. The All-on-4 treatment is preferred over getting dentures. With these dental implants there will no longer be any gaps between your teeth, which means less space for food particles to accumulate and cause decay. We are happy to answer any questions and address any concerns that you may have.
