At What Point Do I Need All-On-4® Dental Implants?
While a skilled and trusted doctor will always try to save a person's natural teeth, in the cases where they have severe jawbone density loss, they will need to get treated with All-On-4® dental implants. All-On-4® dental implants use four dental implants to stabilize a full arch prosthesis with abutments. By getting expertly treated with All-On-4 dental implants, patients will be able to maintain a normal diet, speak clearly, and smile confidently.

Why Do People Need To Get Treated With All-On-4 Dental Implants When They Have Severe Jawbone Density Loss?
When people go to get treated with All-On-4 dental implants at a caring and dedicate doctor's practice, they will have severe jawbone density loss. Severe jawbone density loss happens to those who have had missing teeth or severely infected teeth for a long period of time, causing their jawbone to get little to no stimulation from the tooth roots.
People with significant jawbone density loss need to get treated with All-On-4 dental implants, because the four dental implant posts are precisely and accurately placed into areas of their jawbone where they have enough jawbone density to support them. When the four dental implant posts are strategically and securely placed in the patient's jawbone, they will fuse with it through a process called osseointegration.
Once the dental implant posts have fully fused with the patient's jawbone, it will give them a permanent new smile. The securely placed dental implant posts also stimulate the patient's jawbone, just like natural tooth roots do. Because the dental implant posts stimulate the patient's jawbone, the prosthesis placed on top of them with abutments will have a stable and predictable foundation to be attached to.
This is because the stimulation makes the patient's jawbone strong and healthy enough to support their new and improve smile.
