All-On-4 Dental Implants: The Pros and Cons

February 10, 2023 / DENTISTRY

Are you missing teeth and are looking for a solution? Missing teeth can have many negative impacts on a person’s life from low self-confidence, to a shifting bite, to problems eating and speaking.

There are many tooth replacement options for patients to consider, with dental implants being one of the most popular solutions.

Here at Greenwood Park Dentistry, we offer a tooth replacement option you may not have heard of. It’s specifically for patients missing multiple teeth, and it’s called ‘All-on-4’ Dental Implants. This treatment option is a great solution for those who are looking for an option more permanent than dentures.

What is ‘All-on’4’ dental implant treatment?

The All-on-4 procedure allows the team at Greenwood Park Dentistry to replace a full arch in your mouth using just four implants.

To do this, your dentist in Kingston will install four implants by drilling them into the jawbone. Once those implants heal, they will be topped by porcelain crowns to replicate the look and feel of the patient’s natural teeth. What really sets this procedure apart is that multiple prosthetic teeth can be attached to each implant.

The main benefits of the All-on-4 procedure are:

  • It’s permanent - your replacement teeth do not have to be removed for cleaning and sleeping
  • You can eat and drink normally
  • It’s a faster process than regular dental implants
  • The procedure is less painful than other options like bone grafting

The main cons of the All-on-4 procedure:

  • It could take a little while to get used to the new teeth and you may speak funny for a few days or weeks
  • The procedure still involves drilling into the jawbone, which can be uncomfortable and will take some time to heal
  • While extremely rare, it is possible for the gums and bone to reject the implants
  • Like all permanent tooth replacement options, implants are expensive
  • Even though they look natural, these new teeth are connected, which can feel strange for many patients.

If you are missing multiple teeth and are ready to discuss tooth replacement solutions with your dentist in Kingston, call the team at Greenwood Park Dentistry today. We’ll book you in for an appointment, assess the condition of your teeth, gums and jaw, and work with you to determine the best possible treatment plan moving forward.
