Full Arch Dental Implants and How They Relate to All-on-Four
In dentistry, “full arch” refers to the complete set of teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. Full arch dental implants are designed to replace every tooth in one arch, typically through a few strategically placed implants rather than one implant per tooth. This technique provides comprehensive support and stability, creating a seamless replacement for a full set of teeth in a single jaw.
The All-on-Four dental implant procedure is a well-known full arch solution. Rather than placing individual implants for each tooth, All-on-Four relies on four implants—two positioned at the front and two angled toward the back. This setup provides a solid foundation, securing a full set of prosthetic teeth across the entire arch. It’s an ideal option for patients with lower bone density, as the angled implants maximize contact with the jawbone, often removing the need for additional procedures like bone grafting.
Choosing a full arch solution like All-on-Four offers multiple benefits, from restoring natural bite function to providing a long-lasting, natural-looking smile. Unlike traditional dentures, which may shift, All-on-Four implants remain stable and comfortable, offering durability without the hassle of regular adjustments. This approach allows patients to confidently restore an entire arch with fewer implants and lower maintenance needs, making it a popular choice for comprehensive dental restoration.\

- Clearer speech
- Minimal bone grafting

How do I care for All-on-4 Permanent Dentures?
Caring for All-on-4 permanent dentures involves maintaining good oral hygiene, similar to natural teeth. Right after the procedure, clean the area with saltwater rinses. Then, treat your All-on-4 just like natural teeth:
- After every meal use super floss under the bridge
- Use a water pick and ¼ non-alcohol anti-bacterial mouth rinse and water
- Use an electric toothbrush such as Oral B or Sonicare for more effective cleaning
- Brush your tongue and cheeks to remove oral bacteria and odors
- Attend professional cleaning appointments every 3-6 months
How do I care for All-on-Four dental implants?
Caring for All-on-Four dental implants involves maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing daily, and regular dental check-ups. Special cleaning tools, like interdental brushes and water flossers, can help clean around the implants.
How long do All-on-Four dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, All-on-Four dental implants can last many years, often 10-15 years or longer. The implants themselves can last a lifetime, while the prosthetic teeth may need replacement or adjustment over time due to normal wear and tear.
What are the risks or complications associated with All-on-Four dental implants?
While the success rate of All-on-Four implants is high, potential risks include infection, implant failure, nerve damage, and sinus issues (for upper implants). Following the dentist's pre-and post-operative instructions can minimize these risks.
