All-on-4 vs. Dentures: Which Is the Best Option?
If you have lost several or all of your teeth, you may be considering options to restore your smile. Two of the most common treatments for complete tooth loss are All-on-4 dental implants and traditional dentures.
At Dental Artistry, we want to help you make an informed decision. Here, we explain the differences between both options and which one may be the best for you.
🦷 What Is the All-on-4 Treatment?
The All-on-4 treatment involves placing four dental implants at strategic points in the jawbone to support a full fixed prosthesis. It is a permanent solution that looks and functions like natural teeth.
Advantages of All-on-4:
Stable fixation: Does not move when speaking or eating.
Natural appearance: The fixed prosthesis is designed to resemble natural teeth.
Durability: Can last for decades with proper care.
Immediate loading: In many cases, you can leave with a fixed provisional prosthesis the same day as surgery.
Bone preservation: Implants stimulate the bone, preventing resorption.
Greater comfort: No gum irritation like some dentures.
🌟 What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable devices that replace a full set of teeth. They can be complete (for those who have lost all teeth) or partial (for those with some remaining natural teeth).
Advantages of Dentures:
More affordable: Generally less expensive than implants.
Non-invasive process: Does not require surgery.
Quick adaptation: Fabrication and fitting are faster than implants.
Removable: Easy to clean and maintain.
✅ Which Option Is Best for You?
The choice between All-on-4 and dentures depends on several factors:
Budget: While All-on-4 is a larger investment, it offers long-term benefits.
Bone health: All-on-4 is ideal if you have sufficient jawbone to support implants.
Lifestyle: If you prefer a fixed, worry-free solution, All-on-4 is the best option.
Comfort: If you want a removable and less invasive option, dentures may be practical.
