The Advantages of Having All-on-4 Implants Verses Dentures

Dentures have been around many, many years and have served people to the best of their ability. Today, many dental patients are looking for a more durable alternative to dentures. That treatment is known as All-on-4 dental implants.

During this procedure, the oral surgeon will place four titanium implants into the jawbone. Then the lifelike prosthetic is permanently secured for a beautiful new smile. 

There are many advantages to having All-on-4 implants verses dentures. With All-on-4 implants you'll receive immediate results, an enhanced appearance, control over the foods you eat, an improved quality of life, and you'll eliminate the health issues associated with failing teeth.

Enjoy eating again with dramatic improvement in your chewing ability. Your new teeth will feel remarkably more stable with a greater feeling of comfort. A major benefit of the All-in-4 implants is the preservation of the jawbone. This prevents deterioration of the facial structure related to missing teeth and the root system that supports them.

While dentures have come a long way, they still can present problems of their own. Since they are held in place by way of a fixative, application is not always pleasant and the bond is not always secure. Dentures frequently slip and move, resulting in discomfort and embarrassment while speaking and eating. The movement of dentures is linked to sores and gum irritation. Unlike an All-on-4 implant, dentures require regular maintenance and must be removed for cleaning. Also unlike an All-on-4 implant, dentures require eventual replacement.

If you suffer from tooth loss and are looking for a solution, contact Blackman and Bliss DDS at 630-260-0333 or online at www.blackmanandblissdds.com for more information on All-on-4 dental implants and how they can change your life.
