ALL ON 4
Previously for the restitution of all the dental pieces of a jaw or both there was only one option that was removable such as the total prosthesis or commonly known as plates or veneers. Now we can offer a much more durable, comfortable for the patient and completely fixed option that not only restores the security and aesthetics that the patient had with their natural teeth, but also reduces the bone loss of the jaws. This technique is called ALL ON 4.
What is All on 4?
All on 4 is a prosthetic technique that consists of rehabilitating in a fixed way a whole jawbone by placing 4 dental implants and on these a prosthesis is made that is screwed to these dental implants in a fixed way, thus eliminating the discomfort that patients commonly present with removable treatments, They are misaligned when chewing, sometimes they fall and every so often have to change them because they no longer fit, they can not taste food properly and in cases of removable prostheses of the upper jaw many patients also indicate that these prostheses activates the gag reflex.
The placement of these 4 dental implants for the All on 4 technique is performed strategically to make the best possible use of the areas with the best quantity and quality of bone, as well as to avoid the need for bone grafting or sinus elevation.
In cases of patients who still have teeth but are in poor condition and have to be extracted, the extraction of the teeth and the placement of dental implants can be performed in the same appointment in most cases, so that patients leave the same day in most cases with a temporary fixed prosthesis that will be kept in the mouth during the healing time of the implants. Once the healing time is over, a definitive fixed prosthesis is made, screwed to the implants, either in zirconium or hybrid.
At the ClÃnica Dental Sonrisa Para Todos we evaluate patients to determine if they are candidates for this type of fixed prosthetic treatment clinically and radiographically using a 3D tomography, which allows us to measure and determine the quantity and quality of the existing alveolar bone and allows us to provide the patient with a much more assertive diagnosis of the case.
If you want to know if you are a candidate for this type of fixed prosthetic treatment and rediscover the pleasure of smiling, request an appointment for assessment and treatment plan with 3D tomography at 4010-3333, WhatsApp 7031-7979.
