I started with dentures and I went to the All on Four upper/lower 2 yrs ago. (biocare Nobel titanium implants? w/ all acrylic teeth. I hate them and want to convert them to snap ins or get a new bridge made. They have made my entire face structure change. It’s sunk in, gaunt looking . I loved the look of my dentures. They were beautiful and my face looked the way it should. These have killed my self esteem. I can’t find anyone that just makes the bridges. I also need affordable.

Answer: All-on-4 to Snap On Hi Jinxdnjaded,I am so sorry to hear you are unhappy with your smile. As for your question regarding the All on 4 to Snap on process, yes it can be done but may be tricky. You see when an all on 4 is complete the posterior (back) implants are placed at an angle for strength. Sometimes that angle interfere with a snap on denture, and the same goes for bridges, but I suggest going to the doctor who placed your implants and see if you can work out a procedure to get your facial structure and self esteem back.Good luck!

Answer: ALL ON 4 PROTOCOL there is alway a possibility of switching to a snap on denture(bridge),but the problem will be the abutments the doctor will need to remove the multiunits, and switch to o ball, the only problem that they might find is the angulation of the implants if they reallly did the all on 4 protocol, you have 2 tilted implants and 2 straight per arch.now each case is different, and i still do not know why you did not like the results, provably your doctor was a good surgeon, but not a good prosthodoncist.this can be fixed and you can have great results.send some pictures of your case.
