Living with dentures that don't fit comfortably is frustrating! It makes chewing and eating comfortably difficult, as well as feeling confident about smiling and laughing.
If you're considering dentures to replace multiple missing teeth, or you've been dealing with ill-fitting dentures, we have good news for you! All-on-4® dental implants in Picnic Point might be the solution you're looking for. Here's what you should know.
How All-on-4 Implant Dentures Work
All-on-4 is a procedure that uses four carefully placed dental implants to support a denture. Our Picnic Point dentists customise the denture to attach to the dental implants, which hold the appliance securely in place, ensuring there is no movement or slippage during chewing, eating, talking, or laughing. This can be an ideal solution for someone considering dentures for the first time or someone who has worn dentures for years but has struggled with their fit and function.
If you don't have enough healthy bone structure intact due to wearing dentures to support All-on-4, our dentists may recommend a bone grafting procedure before implant placement to rebuild your bone. Bone grafting restores bone structure so you can successfully support an implant denture.
What Are the Advantages All-on-4 Dental Implants Offer?
Denture wearers enjoy several benefits from an All-on-4 implant denture:
- Denture stability — Chewing and eating are much easier with a denture that doesn't move or slip.
- Jawbone protection — Implants keep your bone healthy and stimulated like a tooth root. This protects the bone from the deterioration that goes along with traditional denture wear.
- Better longevity — When your jawbone is healthy, it promotes the longevity of your appliance. Dental implants can last a lifetime with the proper care and regular dental check-ups.
- Confidence boost — You can feel confident about chewing and eating with a secure and stable implant denture.
