Did you know that a removable total denture is not always the best option if you have lost all your teeth?

Once the loss of all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw occurs, a progressive bone resorption (loss) begins to occur. The most recommended way to avoid or considerably reduce this bone loss in the jaws is through the placement of implants, which through these are screwed a prosthesis that is fixed and is made of zirconium, porcelain or hybrid, avoiding the patient the discomfort of dislodgement, movements and misalignment that has a conventional removable prosthesis, and providing stability, security and aesthetics, greatly improving the quality of life of the patient.

The ALL ON 4, ALL ON 6, ALL ON 8 techniques consist of the fixed prosthetic rehabilitation of a whole jaw or both jaws that do not have any teeth, through the placement of four, six or eight implants depending on the case, evaluating the width, height and existing bone density. An effective, viable and stable restoration is achieved, even in cases where the amount of bone is not very optimal, making the most of the existing bone.

It has been determined through various scientific studies that the range of success in cases of ALL ON FOUR is from 96.3% to 100% of success in an estimated time of 3 to 4 years. And in a range between 94.8% and 98% in a time between 5 to 10 years after the treatment has been performed.

It is of great importance to emphasize that the success of these treatments is directly related to good maintenance and hygiene on the part of the patient, who must also attend their check-ups and cleaning at least once a year in order to be able to remove the fixed prosthesis and clean it properly.

In order to determine the exact cost of the treatment according to your needs, it is necessary to make an assessment appointment with a 3D tomography, in this appointment the condition of the bone will be evaluated, the number of implants to be placed and the type of material that the fixed prosthesis would be made on the implants, whether zirconium, porcelain or hybrid depending on the bite.
