What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
Tooth decay is an unfortunate condition that can occur due to many things. Sometimes it is caused by an accidental effect, sometimes it is caused by high levels of cavities, and sometimes it is caused by other oral health problems. Regardless of the cause of the tooth fracture, a problem must be properly treated for the patient’s mouth to fully function again. One of the most exciting and modern ways to achieve this goal is an exercise called All-on-4 dental implants.
The All-on-4 is a dental extraction system that replaces the upper or lower set of the original tooth. These four appliances act as a support device for inserting a new set of permanent teeth.
With the All-on-4 implant, the posterior part is turned 45 ° towards the back of the mouth and placed in the anterior part, a part of the jaw that is higher on the bone Compared to other ablation techniques, the All-on-4 technique does not require the same bone mass to stabilize the blood.
The toothpick itself is a small titanium gel that is inserted into the jaw and then held by a single tooth or dental bridge. The titanium implant forms the base on which the replacement teeth are placed. For the normal dental implant procedure, complete nail repair requires 6 to 8 implants to support a completely stable bridge.
How Long Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Last?
All-on-4 dental implants have been shown to stand the test of time. The data show that with proper care, they can last 20 years or more. Implant pillars should never be replaced; however, your dentures will wear out daily. It may require some adjustments over the years, but 99% will easily last 10 years or more.
How to achieve the best results:

- After receiving the prosthesis, you must maintain oral hygiene at home and visit your dentist at least twice a year for cleaning and inspection.
- To further reduce the risk of possible dental implant failure, you will want to maintain a balanced diet and avoid anything that can cause complications such as smoking or using new teeth as a tool.
Recovery Time for All-on-4 Implants
Since this is a minimally sensitive procedure that uses oral sedation, the recovery period is relatively simple. Sedation should go away about 4 to 5 hours after the procedure, so you should ask a trusted friend or family member to take you home. You will also need to be on soft food and liquid food for several days. If you experience immediate pain and swelling, pain medication can help. You will be able to continue working in two or three days.
After the procedure, a temporary denture is placed on the implants. After about six months, the implants integrate into your bone. After this time, you will visit your dentist again to remove the temporary fixed prosthesis and put on a permanent fixed prosthesis, which in most cases will have a titanium bar, which makes it very strong and durable. During this time, you will need to take antibiotics and use antimicrobial mouthwash. These dentures that screw into implants are called hybrid dentures and do not pop out of the mouth like traditional dentures and look like bridges.

Advantages of all-on-4 Dental implants
All-on-4 implants have been available for more than a decade but were not common until recently. Some of the advantages of all-on-4 implants are as under:
-
Weak foundations:
All-on-4 limits the number of appointments required for a dental injection procedure to one. Because all ligaments are connected to a single skeleton, the dentist will not need to make arrangements to attach individual organs. The all-on-4 process can be completed in a few hours once the dentist has an idea of how to place the implants to support the full sign of the teeth.
-
Recovery of teeth:
Replacing missing teeth is very expensive, regardless of the option. However, with all-on-4, the cost of replacing the entire tooth line is greatly reduced.
-
Don’t want a bone grafting:
Unlike conventional surgery, patients do not need a bone implant when they need all-on-4 dental implants. A bone marrow transplant is often needed when the patient’s jaw is not large enough or too weak to support a dental injection. All-on-4 implants, however, do not require a bone implant because the implants are placed in different directions on the jaw with the thickest bone, which means it is not limited to one place, especially.
-
Super quick results:
The great advantage of all-in-4 implants over many common tooth replacement methods is that it makes it easy for patients to obtain a full set of teeth in one procedure. While other methods may take longer to complete, this method can be completed in one go. This is why it is more effective and efficient than normal dental implants, which usually take about six months or more to complete.
-
Easy maintenance:
Unlike traditional teeth, these dentures do not need to be removed for cleaning. The all-on-4 system is much simpler and easier to maintain. Sturdy braces protect the chin and promote good oral hygiene. Patients can brush and brush their teeth as if they were normal teeth. Routine checkups and cleanings are still important.
All-on-4 Disadvantage
All-on-4 dental implants have some cons which are as under:
- Although rare, there may be a risk that the implant will fail. This happens when the bone near the implant does not grow properly.
- Some patients report speech difficulty after surgery.
- All-in-4 tooth shots are expensive and can be expensive for some patients.
- All surgeries over 4 can cause gum sensitivity and make it difficult to eat during recovery.
