we’d like to talk about Teeth in a Day. If you remember from our site, we offer a treatment called “Teeth in a Day” that uses All-on-4 technology. All-on-4 is a game changer for patients with extensive tooth loss or decay and aren’t eligible for dental implants. So, let’s get down to the brass tacks on the All-on-4 system.
How All-on-4 Is Different from Dentures
We briefly skimmed over the difference between All-on-4 and dentures on our website. Today, we’d like to delve deeper into the All-on-4 system. Even though All-on-4 are installed in one day, they’re still a permanent set of teeth. Unlike dentures, they’ll look and feel like real teeth. However, you’ll also need to take care of them like natural teeth.
Like traditional dental implants, All-on-4 will prevent bone deterioration in your jaw and restore your face’s appearance. Unlike dentures, you won’t need to use denture paste, and your All-on-4 treatment won’t ever need to be taken out.
They’ll rest comfortably on your mouth’s arch, without putting too much pressure on your gums. Whereas, traditional dentures can pinch your gums and put excessive pressure on them when you bite down. One of the greatest benefits of Teeth in a Day is that they’ll restore your ability to eat, so you can enjoy all of your favorite foods again.
The All-on-4 allows you to bite with up to 70% more bite force than dentures. They also allow you to feel and taste your food again. With the All-on-4 treatment, you can experience the cozy feeling of a warm cup of soup or the refreshing sensation of a popsicle on a warm summer day.
Essentially, All-on-4 offers all of the full-arch restorative benefits of dentures combined with dental implants. It’s the best of both worlds, without the negative side effects. And what makes them even better is that it only takes a day, so you don’t have to wait for your dental implants to heal before enjoying them.
FAQs About All-on-4
To give you more of an idea on how All-on-4 works, we’re going to answer some frequently asked questions.
How is All-on-4 different from dental implants?
Teeth in a Day with the All-on-4 system only uses 4 implants for an arch. Regular implants would need about 8 implants for an entire arch, which would cause over-crowding and would be incredibly irritating for your gums. All-on-4 places your implants in at an angle, so that they make better connection with your bone. This is part of the reason why you won’t need bone grafting or supplemental treatments for your All-on-4 treatment. Teeth in a Day are a more convenient solution to tooth loss. They’ll save you time, money, and irritations.
How long does the surgery take?
The All-on-4 treatment takes 2-3 hours for each arch. This means in as little as 5 hours, you can be enjoying your new set of teeth.
How successful is All-on-4?
Like dental implants, the All-on-4 system is incredibly successful. Current studies measure the success rate between 94-98%.
Who is a good candidate for All-on-4 implants?
Unlike dental implants, the door is wide open for All-on-4. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have good bone density, as long as you’re in decent physical health. Typically, people who wear dentures or will need dentures are good candidates for dental implants. If you’re missing a full arch of teeth, or will lose your teeth soon to extensive tooth decay.
