I am getting all on 4 dental implants only my upper teeth, still have my natural bottom teeth. I am wondering if the zirconia will feel heavy? Or just feel as natural as can be. I am currently in a immediate denture and it always feels so heavy and bulky
Answer: Zirconia All on 4 IS heavy If you put a Zirconia arch in one hand and a PMMA or PEKKTON arch in the other, you WILL fee a difference. There are pros and cons for each, but ALL are fantastic options.

Answer: Zirconia Allon4 prosthesis is not very light Hello. Permanent prostheses of All-on-4 system are mostly made of 3 materials.1-Acrylic: The lightest one but prone to stain and fractures. Mostly used for immediate temporary prosthesis.2-Zirconia: It's a kind of metal which has to be made thick enough to avoid fracture. Despite its aesthetic advantage, it sometimes may be risky in terms for fracture due to its rigid nature.3-Smart Hybrid Metal fused porcelain:It's an innovative material which differs from traditional metal fused porcelain. A standard metal ceramic has 45-50 gram weight while this material has 20-25 gram. This is due to the gappy metal framework which is also being used in civil engineering to make constructions lighter.

Answer: No Zirconia wont feel heavy since it is screwed in to your implants, but it may wear down your lower teeth because the zirconia material is much harder than enamel on our teeth. It is almost as hard as diamond. If you hold the zirconia prosthetic in your hand it would seem heavy compared to the small size, but in your mouth you cannot tell.

Answer: AO4 Heavy zirconia I have hundreds of patients that have large bridges or full arch (all-on-four) type restorations and the vast majority of patients absolutely love them! True, zirconia is heavier that other restorative materials but it is also much much stronger for the long term. As a general rule, zirconia can be a better long term restorative material due to the durability and natural cosmetic results.

Answer: Permanent prosthesis for all-on-4 zirconium Zirconia is usually bit heavy, but people get used to it very fast. The weight also depends on the designing of the the crowns. Also some prosthesis like Prettau Bridge are milled from a single block of Zirconia, they are usually heavy . Versatile dental labs can do titanium frameworks upon which zirconium crowns can be cemented. Please don’t compare these prosthesis with removable complete dentures, as these immediate dentures are not only big, but also have the most uncomfortable palatial extensions. So to conclude, these screwable prosthesis after All-on-4 are very comfortable. Always better to prefer clinics with In-house dental lab, for precision and quicker customized solutions.
