Does anybody have experience of the all on four implants? Today I had a consultation with a dentist. She told me there are two choices for the all on four implants. The choices are acrylic and ceramic. She told me people who go for the acrylic all on four implants normally get them replaced about every 3 years. Is that true? I thought the all on four was fitted for life? I have seen dentists who offer a lifetime guarantee for the all on four. Which is better acrylic all on four or ceramic all on four?

Answer: Acrylic vs Ceramic All on Four Implant Restorations There are several choices when looking at All On Four Implant Restorations. The most common restorations include Acrylic on a Metal Frame, Porcelain to Metal and Zirconia. Acrylic/Metal Frame restorations are very lifelike, however, over time the teeth can wear or break. If this happens, your dentist may be able to use the same frame with replacement teeth. Porcelain to Metal restorations require less maintenance, do not wear over time and keep their luster over time. Issues that can present with Porcelain to Metal include chipping of the porcelain in those individuals who are heavy grinders. Zirconia restorations are less likely to chip or break and require very little maintenance compared to Acrylic/Metal frame restorations. Prices of All on Four Implant Restorations using these materials definitely differ in price ranging from the low side (Acrylic/Metal) $14,000 an arch to the medium (Porcelain to Metal) $23,000 an arch to (Zirconia) $26,000 an arch. Depending on the number of extractions, grafting necessary, complexity of the surgery, prices may vary from state, provider and number of extra implants placed.

Answer: All-on-4 Dental Implants at FMS Dental Hospitals, Hyderabad, India All on 4 Dental Implants are fabricated from Titanium Grade IV and when done using world renowned brands like Nobel Biocare, they last for a lifetime. Successful dental implant placement is possible when the technique is being performed by an expert Implantology team that comprises of experienced and highly qualified Implantologists, Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons, Periodontontists and Prosthodontists. From what you have described I understand that you have been told about the post-implant prosthesis, where there are 2 options. One is the acrylic hybrid screwable prosthesis and the second one is high-end screwable prosthesis with individual Zirconia ceramic crowns. Both the prosthesis have Titanium substructure from Nobel Procera, Sweden, that reinforces the prosthesis. The latter is fabricated through CAD-CAM technology, is more expensive and is aesthetically more superior to acrylic prosthesis. It is the acrylic prosthesis that may need replacement after probably a period of 5 years.
