Are All-on-4 Implants Better Than Dentures to Replace Missing Teeth?

Senior woman in the dental office.

If you’re fed up with living with missing teeth, you may be considering traditional dentures as a practical replacement option. Luckily, time and technology has brought along a better alternative called All-on-4® implants.

The Deal on Dentures
Traditional dentures were once the only tooth replacement option. While they were fast to create and relatively natural-looking, they didn’t feel like natural teeth and made it hard to comfortably live your life. Plus, these dentures tended to shift or fall out when eating, talking, or being involved in athletic activities. While dentures served their purpose for replacing teeth, they were just not right for everyone.

All the Facts about All-on-4 Implants
Today, advances in dentistry have introduced an alternative to conventional dentures called All-on-4 implants. Sometimes referred to as All-on-4 dentures, these are an ideal alternative for people looking to replace missing teeth and maintain a high quality of life. Some of the benefits of All-on-4 implants include:

Only requires four implants embedded in the jaw to secure a full set of teeth
Extremely natural look and feel
Complete comfort
Much more secure and stable than traditional dentures
No risk of All-on-4 dentures shifting or loosening with wear
Ideal for active and busy people
Freedom to play sports, comfortably chew, and eat all of your favorite foods
Less invasive surgical procedure than traditional dentures because only four implants are needed
Procedure performed with one surgery in one day
