Answer: All-on-4 Hi there, thank you for your question. This is a great question and the answer is yes! You can convert your over denture to an All-on-4 prosthesis that is fixed and stable. On the bottom where you have two implants, two more will need to be added and undergo the same process where creating a fixed and stable denture. You will be much more comfortable with something that is attached rather than removable. The difference between one and the other is that oral home care will increase. The benefits of having All-on-4 outweighs that. Good luck!

Answer: Convert from Overdentures to All on 4 This can certainly be done and I assure you the only thing you will regret is not having done it soonerWith the All on 4 there are slight changes in implant placement and the teeth that are fabricated require a certain amount of space. I am sure your dentists will be able to work it outAll the best, Dr J
