The Beauty and Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

The Dental Disadvantages of All-on-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4 dental implants have worked for many people, but they may not be best for you. Some dentists dissuade patients from choosing All-on-4 dental implants for the following reasons:

• When teeth are all placed on the same day, you will not be able to test the teeth for their appearance, comfort, or bite.
• All-on-4 dental implants cannot be placed in the molar areas of the mouth where bite force is greatest.
• It demands a high level of bone to hold implants in place.

It’s important to understand both sides of this treatment option, yet only your dentist can tell you if All-on-4 dental implants are the ideal way for you to replace missing teeth.
