I have heard that people regret getting dentures, that they cause bad breath, bone loss, ageing, that they hurt, cause gagging and do not allow the wearer to eat anything with seeds. Are these problems with all on for or snap-on dentures? thanks!
Answer: Removing all teeth is for situations of no other options If teeth must come out, they must come out. All you state about dentures is true, so the decision is not taken lightly. Dentures are a replacement for lack of teeth, not a replacement for teeth. Implants can do wonders, but they aren't teeth. All on four is great, and the Deutsch Removable Bridge is a great alternative between dentures and a fixed bridge.

Answer: Who is a candidate for All-On-4? Who is a candidate for All-On-4? ALL of the concerns that you mention concerning dentures are true. And, yes, implants do prevent all of these potential problems. You should first find out how much jawbone you currently have by consulting with a qualified implant dentist. In nearly all cases, even if you don’t currently have enough jaw bone, a procedure called a graft can be done that will give you enough bone to be a very good candidate. I hope you found this information to be helpful, Dr. Champagne

Answer: All on four and issues I have been practicing as an implant surgeon for over 20 years. I've seen this, done that! Placed close to 20,000 implants in thousands of patients. I've also salvaged many implants over the years in patients treated elsewhere. What I can tell you is that all on 4 is a compromised treatment option for people who are trying to save money. Except that you are spending too much money on this treatment and it's not worth it. Chances of failure are high due to over reliance on four implants (insufficient for a fixed case). One implant fails and the case fails and you need to start over. Better off with dentures on a couple implants and save your money.

Answer: Extract teeth for All on 4 I think your quality of life has been suffering for a long time. It is time to move forward to improve your health. You will be very happy with the improvement of your health. The All on 4 has had a great success rate since it became popular back in the early 2000s. I really think that it is a better option than any prosthesis that the dentist could fabricate to replace the edentulous arch. I know that your health will improve dramatically once those diseased teeth have been removed. And you will have a major upgrade in your quality of life.

Answer: About your teeth Having horrible is different than having unhealthy teeth.If you dont like your smile there are always ways to give you the smile you have ever wanted with orthodontics and prosthetic dentistry, n case your teeth have severe periodontal problems or severe caries then it would be viable to explore tha possibility of getting them extracted and replaced by a implant supported prosthesis that would give you good function and esthetics.Please don't take a step like that without consulting with a specialist, preferably a prosthodontist that can explore the different options you might have to get that smile you want.
