This can obviously be an attractive option for many patients who have experienced extensive tooth loss \u2013 but is it truly the best choice for you? Before you decide whether to pursue All-on-4, it\u2019s worth taking the time to consider the pros and cons of the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does All-on-4 Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All-on-4 involves surgically inserting four dental implant posts into your jaw so that they can act as artificial roots for a full denture. Each post is very carefully positioned to take advantage of the thickest parts of the jawbone, which reduces the need for bone grafting. The posts will eventually form a lasting bond with the bone around them, giving them the necessary strength and stability to support your replacement teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Pros of All-on-4?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of reasons why so many people choose All-on-4 to revitalize their smiles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All-on-4 has an extremely high success rate. About 94% of cases remain successful after 10 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The recovery process after All-on-4 is relatively short. In many cases, you\u2019ll be able to go back to your normal routine after just a few days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After your mouth has healed from All-on-4, you\u2019ll be able to eat almost any kind of food without issue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All-on-4 makes dental hygiene easy since you can give your new teeth the same care that you would give your natural teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The implant posts will keep your replacement teeth anchored firmly at all times, so they won\u2019t slip when you\u2019re trying to speak.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since All-on-4 looks and feels natural, it can give your overall confidence a significant boost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Cons of All-on-4?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, All-on-4 is not completely without its cons. Here are a few issues that you should be aware of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Compared to traditional forms of tooth replacement, All-on-4 can be quite costly (although you can potentially use financing to make paying for it easier).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you first have your All-on-4 implants placed, your gums may be somewhat tender for a while. Fortunately, this side effect should fade on its own after a matter of weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dental implant failure, while rare, can still potentially happen if the implant posts never fuse with the jawbone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poor oral hygiene habits could end up compromising your dental implants. As such, you\u2019ll need to dedicate yourself to taking excellent care of your smile once you\u2019ve had All-on-4 performed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to ensure that you have all the information you need before you make any decisions regarding your smile. If you\u2019re interested in rebuilding your smile with All-on-4, talk to your dentist; they can help you determine whether the procedure is truly right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Beck Dental Care of Columbia, our dental experts take a comprehensive, personalized approach to dentistry in order to fully meet the oral health needs of our patients.
