The All-on-4 implant system has become a go-to for patients looking to fix their smiles quickly and efficiently. Once the four implants are selected and fabricated, they are installed in just one single procedure. You may think of the All-on-4 plan as being the same day smile alternative.
If you have catastrophic tooth loss, ask our Los Angeles dental implant doctor if you are a candidate for All-on-4 implants. Before making the call, here is a list of the pros and cons associated with All-on-4 Implants.
Pros
• Speed
Except in the extreme event that you require a bone graft, All-on-4 implants do not require a recovery period. More traditional dental implants require months of procedure and healing. In contrast, with All-on-4, you should be able to start enjoying your new smile before you get up from the chair.
• No dentures required
A traditional bridge or prosthetic can be bad for your morale, and they can look less natural than an implant.
• Easy maintenance
There is no prosthetic to take out, so all that is required is simple brushing and flossing as usual.
Cons
• Obtuse angle
Rather than centering the gravity of the implants, this procedure uses unorthodox angles that may affect durability.
• Fallibility
If one implant were to fail, the full project would need to be replaced.
