Patients facing the loss of many teeth have historically only had two options: dentures that can slip out of their mouth at embarrassing times or costly dental implants to restore each tooth individually. With a new dental technology called All-on-4® dental implants, patients get the best of both worlds: a cost-effective treatment that combines the full dental arch replacement that dentures provide with the stability and durability of dental implants. Dr. Sameet Koppikar, the dentist at Biltmore Dental Center in Phoenix, AZ, is excited to offer this life-changing teeth replacement option to his patients who are suffering from tooth loss.
Traditional dentures that replace a full arch of teeth are kept in place using the mouth’s natural anatomy and in some cases, adhesives. This keeps the dentures in place most of the time, but they can be uncomfortable, causing pain and irritation, and can even fall out while you are speaking or eating. Certain foods are also off-limits with traditional dentures. With the All-on-4 dental implant restoration method, patients have four to six dental implants placed in carefully planned locations in their mouth. Beautiful custom-designed dentures are secured to the implants, providing unparalleled stability to restore the patient’s teeth.
Patients love All-on-4 dental implants for several reasons:
Your oral health will benefit from the implants as well! The implants fully integrate with your jaw bone, which prevents the bone from deteriorating over time. Your gums will also be more comfortable because the dentures are not pressing down on them.
