All-on-4 is a dental procedure that aims at using 4 dentures placed on the lower and upper jaw to anchor a full replacement of teeth. The procedure is done same day and is a permanent solution to the problem of tooth loss. Ideally, all-on-4 dentures are sought after by people who have lost all their teeth and are looking for total replacement. The permanency of the procedure makes it ideal as a permanent solution for dental problems. If you are however looking to replace only one arch of teeth, it is important that you take a step back and evaluate whether it is the ideal solution for you. Here is a checklist to guide you along the decision making process Personal Preference What is it that you prefer? Do you want to go all in with this procedure? Is this what you are looking for? Do you prefer the traditional fake removable teeth? 9 out of every 10 clients love the feeling of the dentures when all of the procedures are complete. You are more likely to enjoy the outcome of the process if you feel you had a say in the process and a choice in the matter. Permanency It is important to remember that these teeth are permanent. As such, are you looking to have one set of permanent teeth coupled with one set of false teeth? Will you feel like changing your teeth? In such a case you can consider getting the traditional implants. If however you are looking for a long term solution, all-on-4 dentures might just be the solution for you.
