8 Reasons to Consider All on 4 Implants Instead of Dentures, PART 3

This four-part article series discusses 8 reasons why patients suffering from rampant tooth loss or edentulism (toothlessness) should opt for “All-on-4” dental implants as their tooth replacement technology of choice.

The two previous articles of this series have discussed the first four reasons why patients that are either already edentulous (don’t have a single original adult tooth left) or are facing an immediate future of edentulism should consider All on 4 implants as the future of their oral health. While removable dentures have for many decades been the mainstream approach to providing patients with a new set of teeth, All on 4 implants in Houston, as we have been seeing, offer unparalleled advantages over this archaic technology. The reasons covered so far include:

1.All on 4 implants provide patients with a complete set of fixed and non-removable teeth.

2.All on 4 implants in Houston feel like natural teeth.

3.All on 4 implants in Houston don’t go hand-in-hand with everyday challenges, such as impeded taste ability, triggered gag reflex and the need to remove at nighttime and for cleaning after meals.

4.All on 4 implants in Houston enable you to eat all the foods you love with a much stronger bite force and no discomfort.

In this article, the third installment of the four-part series, we shall discuss another three reasons why you should consider All on 4 implants as your tooth replacement technology of choice!

Reasons You Should Consider All on 4 Implants in Houston as the Tooth Replacement Solution for You

Reason # 5: All on 4 Implants Promote a Natural and Confident Smile

As it was previously discussed, removable dentures rely on their bulkiness to prevent them from slipping around and falling out. The regions of additional mass used to do this are termed ‘flanges’, which tend to push against the lips from the inside of the mouth, causing them to appear stretched and thin. In addition to the self-consciousness people feel from having a hard piece of uncomfortable plastic floating about in their mouths, knowing that your smile is not what it used to be can be crippling to your social confidence. All on 4 implants support a much slimmer dental bridge which doesn’t stretch or have an aging effect on the facial tissues at all. Furthermore, the bridge is custom fabricated to be virtually indistinguishable from a full set of natural teeth. In fact, the optical qualities of the ceramic material used to make the teeth of the bridge closely match that of dental enamel, promoting a natural-looking and confident smile!

Reason # 6: All on 4 Implants in Houston Prevent Premature Aging

This point may sound very similar to the one discussed above, but there is one very important difference. The bridge supported by All on 4 implants not only gives patients an attractive and healthy-looking smile, but the implants themselves prevent atrophy and deterioration of the underlying jaw bone. This in turn preserves one’s natural and youthful facial contours. Nothing condemns one’s smile to early aging like removable dentures. Without the stimulation formerly provided by the tooth roots (or All on 4 implants), the jaw bone atrophies and wastes away, causing that sunken and aged appearance we typically associate with elderly denture wearers (see image below.)
