All-on-four implants vs. normal dental implants

All on 4 dental implants are different from traditional implants in the following ways

• In some cases, All-on-four only requires 4 to 6 implants to support an entire arch.
• On an average, 6 to 10 normal dental implants are required to support a whole arch of teeth in the mouth. 
• In contrast to traditional implants, the all-on-four treatment procedure is less invasive and faster to accomplish.

All on 4 implants vs. dentures

• Dentures result in bone loss as they rely on support from your soft gum tissues. Dentures can be inconvenient as well as unstable. When you wear dentures, you may find it difficult to eat some of your favourite foods.
• The All-on-four implant option provides you with a permanent set of teeth that both looks and feels like your natural teeth. You can even brush the teeth supported on all-on-4 implants regularly just like you did your natural teeth. All-on-4 implants offer much higher level of comfort and convenience compared to traditional dentures. This modern treatment alternative will also prevent further erosion of your jawbone.
