Answer: Appearance and support In regards to appearance and support for the face, this can be corrected by positioning the teeth appropriately. However it may not result in a 100% correction. Patients who have lost their teeth do also suffer from massive amounts of bone shrinkage and this does result in them having thin lips. The height of the face can be restored The support of the lip can be restored You may need some dermal fillers to enhance the appearance of your lips Hope that helps All the best

Answer: "All on 4" is a complex and intricate "Process" It is a true blessing that in 2016 we can extract teeth, place implants and deliver a stable, Previously designed, temporary denture in the course of one surgical appointment. The temporary denture allows the patient to go back into society without the embarrassment of not having any teeth at all. This temporary will allow the dentist to assess function and esthetics while integration of the implants is occurring and the patient is able to assimilate socially. The temporary "All-on-4" is an ideal time to address any concerns with the size and shape of the teeth or lip support. This is a very complex type of dentistry and many things may have to be worked out in this intricate process. I am certain that if you express your concerns and understand that it is a process, you will have an great result in the final "All-on-4" implant retained prosthesis.
