Why Choose All on 4?

Edentulous patients can choose from many prosthetics to recreate the appearance of lost teeth, whether they prefer fixed or removable restorations. Among these is the All-on-4 treatment concept provided by Nobel Biocare.

With all of the teeth replacements you could pick, here’s why Dr. Yeary recommends All-on-4 full-arch bridges:

Making the Right Investment

When you decide to pursue implant dentures as a complete tooth loss solution, you’re choosing to put your hard-earned money into a treatment plan that will improve your comfort and confidence. It’s vital to make sure the procedure you’ve selected provides the best return on your investment.

Your fixed denture options include detachable over dentures and screw-retained hybrid dentures. Each of these implies using a differing number of implant posts. For some patients, qualifying for these procedures means they’ll need preparatory care, such as tissue grafts.

The All-on-4 treatment concept is a smart investment, as it provides a secure full-arch prosthesis that is both non-removable and does not require bone augmentation before implants can be added. This treatment offers the benefits of both an over denture and hybrid denture.

Combining Minimal Treatment with Lasting Results

While screw retained dentures create the feeling and stability of natural teeth, this procedure requires the placement of a full arch of implants – sometimes as many as eight. Not only is this cost prohibitive, it is extensive. On the other hand, over dentures only require the placement of two implants posts to secure a denture that pops onto and off of attachments.

With All-on-4, patients receive just four implants, but their new smile is permanent and cannot be removed at home. This offers the minimal procedure processes of an over denture combined with the natural aesthetic and function of hybrid dentures.

Trusted Technology

The All on 4 treatment concept was pioneered by Nobel Biocare – one of the oldest and most trusted names in dental prosthetics and implant technology. Your treatment includes prosthetics that have been tested and studied for their longevity and dependability as teeth replacements. If any repairs or implant replacements are needed, Nobel Biocare’s laboratory can easily provide them. Consider this in comparison to an off-brand implant, where parts and replacements may be less dependable and harder to come by.

If you’re missing all natural teeth in your smile, consider All on 4 as an alternative to dentures and other fixed prosthetic options. Contact Dr. Yeary to learn more about this procedure and how it can benefit your smile.
