All-on-4 Dental Implants

Hello anamescua2017,&nbsp;
Implants are a great choice for our patients today and having enough bone to get implants is a key factor into being a candidate for the All-on-4 procedure. Having an implant in the front gives me comfort because that means you have good bone in the front section of your jaw. The next step for you is to do&nbsp;a 3D scan to find out if we have enough bone in the back. &nbsp;
There are lot of factors that go into designing someone's smile for this type of prosthetic and one main factor that determines if an existing&nbsp;implant can be used or not is your smile and where you lip lands when you smile big.&nbsp;
Keeping the implant may make sense when treatment planning but if the rest of the implants that are being used are not the same exact kind as the one you already have - it creates a challenge with having to order different connection pieces to attach everything. That ends up costing more money at the end.&nbsp; 
My recommendation to you is to get a consultation from one of your ClearChoice expert centers in your area in regards to your potential&nbsp;treatment.&nbsp;
Thank you,&nbsp;
Mark Andrawis, DMD

I am considering the all on 4 implant option. I already have one implant in the front. Does this impact the price of the all on 4?

I am considering the all-on-4 implant option.

Hello 1joel2u,&nbsp;
The most life-like material that we have in dentistry today is porcelain. Remember that porcelain and ceramic are the same for the purposes of our conversation here. A dentist will use the terms interchangeably.&nbsp;
In regards to All-on-4 dental implant treatments, the choices are&nbsp;- Acrylic Teeth, Porcelain Teeth, or Zirconia Teeth or a combination of the above. The strongest of all with the least amount of complications is zirconia. It also comes VERY VERY close to the aesthetics of a porcelain crown that the naked eye cannot discern the difference.&nbsp;
It is also important to keep in mind that one material doesn't solve all problems. Some patients are not zirconia candidates so I highly recommend you see a prosthodontist (prosthetic specialist) for an evaluation and proper planning.
I hope that answers your question.&nbsp;

With All-on-4 dental implants, what's the best and most natural-looking material for the teeth: ceramic, porcelain, or zirconia?
