If you’re looking to replace missing teeth, you might’ve considered getting dental implants. Find out the benefits of all-on-4 — a specific kind of dental implant — here before you get them.
You might already know that dental implants are a great (and popular) choice when it comes to available options for replacing missing teeth, but did you know that there’s multiple approaches to this dental procedure?
Our team at Dental Specialists of New Jersey offers both same-day implants and All-on4® implants in order to give you your best smile yet. If you have multiple missing teeth, All-on-4 is going to be the way to go.
This approach uses four titanium posts strategically placed across your jawbone in order to give you a brand-new row of teeth. Below, we discuss some of the benefits this advanced dental procedure has to offer.
What are the benefits of getting All-on-4 dental implants?
While there are many advantages to getting All-on-4 dental implants, we’ve highlighted four of them here:
1. They look natural
Dental implants are made to look like your natural teeth and to fit the shape of your mouth. They are also designed to fuse with your jawbone in order to make them a permanent fixture in your mouth, making them discreet.
2. They don’t come with any dietary restrictions
For many other procedures that replace missing teeth — like dentures or bridges — your diet has to be restricted due to their low chewing function. Dental implants act just like your regular teeth so you can enjoy all your favorite foods without worry.
3. They protect the health of your other teeth and jawbone
Some procedures that replace missing teeth — like a tooth-supporting bridge — require your other teeth around it to be filed down. In addition, other dental procedures don’t protect your jawbone like dental implants do. If both your jawbone and other remaining teeth are protected, it’s going to encourage long-term oral health.
4. They’re low maintenance
A great thing about dental implants is that they require little to no maintenance, unlike alternative options like removable dentures. You just need to care for them like you would any of your other teeth. Make sure to brush them regularly in order to increase their longevity, but otherwise there’s nothing else you need to do to maintain them since they become a permanent fixture in your mouth.
As long as you’re a good candidate for dental implants, you can reap all these benefits of All-on-4 for your oral health.
