This tooth replacement is common in cases of minimal bone resorption. (For example someone has severely damaged teeth, but most or all are still in place in healthy bone tissue).

This tooth replacement is optimal for those who suffered from moderate bone loss. 4 implants are placed on one arch with the all-on-4 bridge permanently attached. The back implants are placed in an angle to gain extra support. Fixed denture (4 implants with lock on dentures) A fixed denture has larger gum parts to cover the front and sides. This is suggested in cases of moderate or advanced bone loss, and if face and lips also need support (eg saggy lips/face due to bone loss). The fixed denture locks on the implants with a click on retainer. Get your free quote for fixed denture> How do you clean these teeth? Cleaning the implant teeth is very simple. The bridge and the All-On-4 is cleaned like natural teeth with a toothbrush. Under the teeth and around the implants a small brush should be used. The fixed denture is unlocked from the implants for cleaning the inner side, and around the implant posts.  What is the price? The total price of the implant bridge and All-On-4 is roughly the same. The price of implant denture is lower. For a provisional quote please contact our patient support office via e-mail or phone or through our website. Get your free quote> How do you tell which of these will suit the patient? We look for the solution that best restores both the aesthetics and functionality of natural teeth. The greater the overall bone loss is the fewer choices one has regarding the teeth replacement. Other factors are also to be considered, like future maintenance of the implants, or costs and time of the surgery. For example if someone is prone to gum disease it is best to look for teeth replacement that is cleaned easily to assure implants are not effected by the disease. The treatment should possess all the advantages and benefits the patient is happy with, which is the most important.
