I have been told that a new denture will have to be made due to the gap between the gum line and the dentures since the bone and gum are constantly changing.
Answer: All-on-4 We allow 6 months of healing time from the time that your temporary teeth are placed the day of your surgery, to the time of placing the final teeth. This we have found is sufficient time for bone and gum remodeling. The way we prepare/preserve the bone ridge at the time of surgery, may have something to do with us seeing minimal to no space formation underneath the final prosthesis.

Answer: All on 4 and Gums shrinking When you need an all on 4, all of the remaining teeth are removed. This process continues to heal after the procedure is completed. This space is only a problem if it can be seen, you have problems speaking or food is trapped under. Ask about adding more pink material to the existing denture

Answer: All on 4 dental implant surgery It’s a natural phenomenon that after All on 4 dental implant surgery and placement of the first set of provisional fixed teeth, there will be some gap developing underneath the prosthesis over a period of 3-4 months. This is due to the healing process of bone and the soft tissue covering the bone . Usually once the healing process is over, there won’t be any further shrinkage of gums until and unless there is any inflammatory conditions developing. But over a period of years some bone loss and gum shrinkage is expected, this can be corrected adding the pink ceramic or acrylic material underneath the prosthesis, if the gap is more
