I have had All-on-4 upper and lower 10 weeks ago (with temp bridge). I have been back to the lab technician and discussed the changes I would like for the permanent teeth eg less upper plastic gum showing, whistling noise etc. I am not very happy with the sensation, tightness and dull che and other niggly things. I am wondering if at this stage I can change from permanent bridges to removal bridges using the All-on-4 implants installed fitted 10 weeks ago?
Answer: All on 4 Denture I agree with the response from Dr. Barsky below. In addition, I do hear patients at times requesting a removable prosthesis over a bar structure which is attached to the implants but mainly it is due to concerns regarding hygiene. If a final All on 4 prosthesis is properly adapted to the soft tissues, there really should be minimal to no significant problems in terms of home care.

Answer: Your temporary All-on-4 bridge If you had a temporary All-on-4 bridge 10 weeks ago, your gum has likely changed shape and the bridge may also not have been designed as a final bridge would be. Hopefully changes in the final design can address your concerns. Usually you would not be having a dull ache at this stage, so you need to discuss that with your treating dentist. It's important you see the treating dentist, not the technician, about your concerns, so that they can be diagnosed and addressed appropriately. Hopefully you can get a good outcome without needing to consider a removable denture, which would have its own pros and cons.

Answer: It is best to decide removable vs fixed early on It is definitely possible, but there is bound to be a fee for the lab charges your dentist has already spent. Also, you will have to undergo several more appointments to get the removable prosthetics to fit correctly.
