5 advantages of all-on-four dental implants

Over the last few years, the all-on-four technique has been gaining more and more followers due to its advantages over removable dentures. In summary, this procedure is based on the implementation of 4 screws, strategically placed and only after prior analysis, which serve as a fixation for the dental prosthesis.

Advantages of all-on-four dental implants:
Poor oral hygiene and associated diseases, such as periodontitis, can cause tooth loss. This loss of teeth causes an aged appearance, decreasing self-confidence, and hinders functions such as chewing food or speaking. In this sense, and in order to meet these needs, all-on-four implants have emerged as a reliable alternative to traditional dental prostheses. Some of the benefits of these implants are
– Stabilising the bone loss that occurs after the loss of one or more teeth, thus providing greater oral health and preventing the patient from looking older;
– There is no need to worry about adhesives or pastes for dentures, as happens with removable dental prostheses;
– You can ingest and chew any food without any restriction;
– Increased confidence and self-esteem;
– Natural appearance, since the all-on-four prosthesis is custom-made for each patient.

How long do all-on-four implants last?
Biological factors influence implant adaptation, and therefore oral hygiene plays an important role in the proper maintenance of implants.
Considering a correct daily maintenance of the implants, studies show that 99.8% of the implants are still in optimal condition after 10 years. However, we would like to point out that this period of time will always be influenced by biological factors and the correct maintenance of the implant.
