“All on Four” is the name for a procedure where a denture is
placed on four implants. This procedure not only provides stability for a
denture, but allows a patient to be effectively restored to full dentition in a
short amount of time.
“Many patients report that wearing dentures is not at all as
they expected,” says Dr. Denine Rice from her Riverside Periodontal and Implant
Surgery practice. “They suffer from loose fitting dentures that move about
creating embarrassing situations and/or speech difficulties.”
If you are someone who can identify with that statement,
perhaps you are a candidate for “All on Four” implant supported dentures.
The first step in the process is sitting down with your
dentist and/or periodontist to discuss treatment plan options. Your dentist working in conjunction with a
periodontist will put together a plan designed specifically for you. While most
times four implants can be used to effectively support your new denture, your
dentist will determine if that’s the case for you, then a denture will be
created to fit to your newly placed implants.
