This four part article series explores the various benefits and advantages afforded by the All on Four dental implant protocol as compared with traditional tooth replacement techniques and technologies.
In our previous article posts on the breakthrough All-on-4 in Houston, courtesy of experienced implant dentist, Dr. Wayne Brueggen, we discussed how this innovative dental implant protocol offers superior aesthetic and functional solutions to edentulism (not having a single original adult tooth left) and near-edentulism. Furthermore, instead of waiting up to a year or more for a complete set of teeth, patients are able to undergo oral rehabilitation in a single day with a single surgery! And this brings us to one of the greatest benefits of the All-on-4 protocol… Cost.All-on-4 Dental Implants and Cost Concerns
Money, money, money; it makes the world go around and plays a fundamental role in most, if not all of the decisions we make. When it comes to your health, in an ideal world, cost should not be a core concern. But it is the harsh reality. People opt for inferior teeth replacement technology because they cannot afford the better, more advantageous alternative. Thankfully, while the All-on-4 protocol is the newer and more sophisticated method for the treatment of rampant tooth loss and edentulism, it actually works out to be far cheaper than traditional dental implant methods! In fact, with the All-on-4 in Houston, patients presenting with straight-forward cases are able to save as much as $25,000 on oral rehabilitation, while more complex cases can save a staggering $45,000! And this is not even to mention how much time, pain and discomfort this innovative procedure saves patients.It’s at this juncture that most people ask: “Ok, so where’s the catch? A better and more sophisticated tooth replacement protocol and it’s cheaper? That just doesn’t make sense.” Well, when you consider a few important things, you will come to understand how the All on 4 in Houston saves patients tens of thousands of dollars…
How the All-on-4 in Houston Saves You Money
- The Number of Implants: If you have lost all
of your original adult teeth to decay and gum disease and want to have a new set of teeth placed using dental implants, you would be looking at requiring up to 20 implants for both the upper and lower jaws. Now consider that each implant costs in the region of $3,500 to $4,500 and you can appreciate why oral rehabilitation using traditional implant techniques is so incredibly expensive! The All-on-4 on the other hand – as the name suggests – only requires four dental implants to be placed per jaw.
- The Number of Surgeries: In addition to the cost of requiring up to 20 implants comes the cost of multiple surgeries, consultation with specialists and time off from work. 12 to 18 months spent in and out of surgery can rack up a monstrous bill for patients. The All-on-4 in Houston almost never requires more than a single surgery for patients to go from being edentulous to having a full, beautiful and healthy-looking smile!
- Bone Grafting Surgery: The All-on-4 in Houston is capable of giving patients a brand new set of teeth almost always without the need for lengthy, painful and expensive bone grafting surgery beforehand. This not only saves patients months of recovery, it also saves them a lot of money!
The All-on-4 in Houston is the most s
ophisticated solution modern dental science has to offer people suffering from rampant tooth loss and edentulism as a result of decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Allowing your oral problems to go undiagnosed and untreated is a core part of the problem, so never allow a concern for cost to come between you and a much improved quality of life, thanks to the unrivalled solutions afforded by All-on-4 dental implants and Dr. Wayne Brueggen.
for a customized prosthetic dental bridge from the underlying jaw bone, just like your natural teeth. This enables a much stronger and more comfortable bite. Removable dentures on the other hand rely upon the underlying gums for support and the resultant transmission of the forces associated with eating and chewing directly to this soft tissue causes inflammation, tenderness and the development of painful sores. This in turn necessitates a constant investment in products such as anesthetic gels. The discomfort and pain associated with eating has a considerable impact upon a patient’s appetite and can actually result in malnutrition. All on 4 dental implants in Houston enable patients to eat all the foods they like without any pain or discomfort and absolutely no self-consciousness.
One of the greatest benefits afforded by All on 4 dental implants is the ability to get a brand new set of teeth in as little as a single day, with a single surgery. Previously, traditional dental implant protocol required edentulous and near-edentulous patients to endure a year and up to a year-and-a-half of consultations, surgeries and recovery periods before they could eat, speak and smile with confidence. All on 4 dental implants in Houston condense that massive and painful journey into a single surgery that affords comprehensive and sophisticated results. This unprecedented treatment time is just one of the reasons that All on 4 dental implants have been heralded a breakthrough in the fields of fixed oral rehabilitation and dental implantology!
Even a single missing tooth can have a devastating effect upon one’s ability to smile with confidence. And the smile is one of the most important physical assets we as human beings have! So just imagine what rampant tooth loss as a result of decay and periodontal (gum) disease can do to one’s self-esteem! Perhaps you know all too well what it feels like to struggle with the ceaseless challenges associated with being edentulous. 
fixed in the mouth and so rely upon their bulkiness and fit in order to not shift around or fall out. The peripheral regions of additional mass, known as flanges, help to stabilize dentures in the mouth, but they also press on the lips from inside the mouth. This makes the lips look thin and stretched, which has an aging effect upon the face. 
for Disease control, the number of edentulous adults in the United States is a staggering 20 million, while another 100 million more have lost between 11 and 15 of their natural teeth to decay and gum disease. The traditional approach to treating edentulism and near-edentulism was to enable patients to be able to eat, speak and smile with a degree of confidence. However, removable dentures, or false teeth as they are colloquially known, go hand-in-hand with a whole suite of challenges and repeated expenses. And these obstacles and struggles can drastically lower one’s self-confidence and overall quality of life. Thankfully, there is a much more sophisticated tooth replacement solution available to patients who are in desperate need of a brand new set of teeth. So what is the comprehensive and long-term solution to multiple missing teeth and rampant tooth loss?
