Will Having the All on Four Dental Procedure, Improve the Sagging Look of my Face, Due to Denture Wearing for Many Years?

All on four is an implant technique to use only 4 implants for a fixed upper denture.  The cosmetic results will depend on how much lip support is given, the width of the smile, vertical dimension and other factors.  There is an art to making a cosmetic denture whether it is fixed or removable.

The implants themselves will not - the setting of the teeth and bite can make some difference. This is also possible with a denture. For the cost of the All on 4, I would suggest making a new denture with the teeth and bite in the location planned for your All-on-4 prosthesis - then you will know and your dentist will be sure heéshe is doing what you want.

Many patients have done this procedure and they are very happy with it. While traditional dentures can replace individual teeth and improve your quality of life, they will not do anything about the bone deterioration that tooth loss can cause. By contrast, facelift dentures will:

- Stimulate the underlying bone, reversing the process of bone tissue degeneration
- Increase facial support
- Provide plumper, more attractive lips
- Improve your chewing and speaking ability
- Prevent a shrunken facial appearance

   Facelift dentures are custom designed to rest partially on the muscles of your jaw. This means they stimulate the presence of healthy bone beneath your teeth. Facelift dentures also strengthen the jaw and teeth structures that support your face. The result is that your new dentures will give you the appearance of a freshly invigorated, more youthful face with a fuller jaw contour and lips without requiring cosmetic surgery. Facelift dentures are designed to create an ideal bite position for you, which not only improves your appearance, it also improves your ability to chew and creates a more comfortable bite.
