Difference Between Dentures and ALL-ON-4 Dental Implants
A typical denture uses your soft gum tissue for support. Over time, bone loss will occur and the denture itself will become unstable and uncomfortable. In addition to this, the jaw structure often deteriorates and denture wearers experience ongoing bone loss. Denture wearers are often forced to adopt softer diets, because they just can’t eat or crunch the foods they previously enjoyed. Take apples for instance… are you eating a whole apple or applesauce?
ALL-ON-4 Dental Implants offer a permanent set of teeth that look, feel and behave like your natural teeth. Your dental implants can be brushed like your normal teeth, are stable, fixed and far more comfortable than dentures because they are anchored to your jawbone using titanium posts. They provide for natural biting comfort, and prevent the bone deterioration that is routinely seen in people who wear dentures. You’ll also be laughing and smiling again – and never concerned about removable dentures that may slip or feel wobbly.
The ALL-ON-4 Dental Implant procedure is considered minimally invasive. In 90% of cases, bone grafting is avoided by tilting the posterior implants to utilize available bone. You can achieve full-arch rehabilitation with only four implants.
