FAQ # 8: What is the difference between All on 4 implants in Houston and traditional dental implants?

Answer: There are some very important differences between All on 4 implants in Houston and traditional surgical protocol. In fact, these differences result in average savings on oral rehabilitation of $25,000, and as much as $45,000 on more complex cases!

• All on 4 implants in Houston, as the name suggests, only require four dental implants per jaw to provide complete support for a customized prosthetic dental bridge. So, for a patient receiving both upper and lower teeth, this equates to only eight dental implants. Traditional surgical protocols, on the other hand, frequently require six, eight and ten dental implants to be placed per jaw, which, for both the upper and lower dental arch, equates to 20 dental implants! This not only works out to be incredibly expensive for the patient, but it requires them to go in for multiple surgeries, since such a large number of implants cannot be safely placed in a single sitting.
• Following on from the previous point, All on 4 implants in Houston can be placed in a single day, with a single surgery, whereas traditional protocols require multiple surgeries spread out over the course of 12 to 18 months.
• All on 4 implants in Houston are designed to be placed almost always without the need for bone grafting surgery beforehand. This procedure is frequently necessary in patients that present with advanced bone loss in the jaw; a result of atrophy of the hard tissue, which is in turn caused by tooth loss that has gone untreated for too long. Traditional implant protocol cannot bypass this challenge and so patients are looking at requiring yet another surgery and lengthy recovery period.

FAQ # 9: I have previously been told that I am not a candidate for dental implants. Does this apply to All on 4 implants in Houston?

Answer: Not necessarily, in fact, in most cases, no! All on 4 implants in Houston enable implant dentists to overcome many of the challenges facing traditional surgical protocol. As a result, patients of all ages and presenting with all kinds of oral problems are able to receive a brand new set of beautiful, immediately functional and non-removable teeth in a day thanks to All on 4 implants in Houston.
