Understanding All-on-4 Hybrid Dentures
One of the advancements in restorative dentistry is hybrid dentures. An improvement over overdentures or implant-supported dentures, the All-on-4 dental implant system offers the benefits of dental implants with a more affordable option. All-on-4 dental implants use a hybrid denture that is more natural in design combined with four implants per plate to permanently hold the denture in place. At Hollon and Taylor Dental Mobile, we are pleased to offer All-on-4 dental implants for our patients that want a beautiful new mouth restoration, available at our dental center in Mobile, AL.
All-on-4 dental implants have a few innovations that make them different than implant-supported dentures or traditional overdentures. While all these options combine dental implants and dentures, All-on-4 is a permanent solution that screws a hybrid denture in place. Some overdentures snap into place but are removable for cleaning. They also may have dentures that cover the top of the mouth with a plate. All-on-4 offers a hybrid denture that does not have a roof plate, making the prosthetic denture feel and look more like natural teeth.
Full Mouth Restoration
All-on-4 dental implants allow for a full mouth restoration with only four implants per hybrid denture plate. Most implant-supported dentures require 5-8 implants. With fewer implants, less bone density is needed to support the implants, and it can be more cost effective than other implant/denture procedures. The innovative design and method used for All-on-4 dental implants allow more people to qualify for this full mouth restoration.
All-on-4 dental implants are a perfect option for those who want the stability and durability of dental implants but a less invasive option than full mouth implants. With a maximum of eight implants for the entire mouth restoration, All-on-4 is less expensive and requires less bone density and recovery. The benefits include a full set of teeth that look and feel more like natural teeth that stay in place 24/7.
If you are considering a full mouth restoration with dentures or dental implants, the All-on-4 option may be right for you.
