We all know that tooth loss can profoundly affect the quality of life, compromising the smile’s aesthetics, the ability to chew correctly and, consequently, self-confidence. Fortunately, advances in implantology make it possible to restore a complete and functional smile quickly and effectively. One of the most innovative and sought-after treatments is All-on-4, a solution that makes it possible to rehabilitate the entire dental arch with just four implants and fixed teeth in just one day.
But why should someone go to All-on-4 anyway?
Tooth loss can occur for several reasons, with tooth mobility being one of the leading causes. When gingivitis develops into advanced periodontitis, the bone supporting the teeth can be destroyed, resulting in mobility and, eventually, loss. The All-on-4 procedure offers a definitive solution for patients suffering from this problem who have already lost a significant part of their dentition.
Other factors that can lead to the need for this treatment are severe tooth decay and dental infections that irreversibly compromise the tooth structure. In advanced cases, tooth extraction may be the only viable option, leaving the patient without a functional set of teeth. All-on-4 allows you to restore your smile and chewing ability effectively and comfortably.
Accidents and trauma can also be responsible for tooth loss. Road accidents falls, or impacts during sporting activities can cause irreparable damage to the tooth structure. All-on-4 is a recommended solution for restoring oral functionality and the patient’s natural smile in these cases.
Severe tooth wear is another common reason for needing All-on-4. Some people suffer from bruxism, an unconscious habit of grinding their teeth, which can lead to progressive erosion of the dentition. In addition, diets rich in acidic foods or problems such as gastric reflux can contribute to excessive tooth wear. All-on-4 allows for complete and adequate rehabilitation when dental structures are too compromised.
Certain medical conditions can also compromise oral health and lead to the need for implant treatment. Uncontrolled diabetes, for example, can affect blood circulation and increase the risk of gum infections, resulting in tooth loss. Osteoporosis, a condition that weakens the bones, can reduce the support capacity of the natural dentition. All-on-4 offers a stable and long-lasting solution for those who suffer from these conditions and want to regain their quality of life.
