Why You May Want to Opt for All on 4's Dental
Implants?

• The best thing about these implants is that they
  are permanent. You do not need to worry about
  taking special measures to brush your teeth
  because you can continue brush and floss as you
  would do with your natural teeth.
• Another great benefit of opting for these
  implants is that they are surgically placed into
  your jaw, which means that you do not need to
  take them out for any reason. Moreover, you do
  not need to use any adhesives to keep these
  implants in place, which is an added benefit for
  many.
• You will find these implants a lot more
  comfortable as compared to many other dental
  procedures. Many people opt for the Invisalign
  procedure to straighten their teeth, but they
  find it quite irritating in the beginning, which
  mainly because the trays press down on the gums.
  The same holds true when you opt for bridges, but
  all on 4's implants do not cause such problems
  because they will not press down on your gums.

Why You May Want to Opt for All on 4's Dental
Implants?

• Another interesting reason to opt for these
  implants is that they let you experience the cold
  and hot foods. You will not notice any change in
  the taste, which is something that is not
  available with many other dental procedures.
• You may want to opt for these implants if you are
  having issues with your bite. When done
  correctly, the procedure leads to an increase in
  your bite. In fact, you may notice a 70 increase
  in your bite force. It means that you do not
  have to shy away from eating your favourite food
  just because you cannot chew it properly.
• You may also want to put your money on these
  implants because they do not leave to bone
  deterioration. In fact, the implants discourage
  bone deterioration and play a role in restoring
  your facial features.

Things You Should Know about All on 4's Dental
Implants

• All on 4 dental implants are much better than
  dentures. You can certainly opt for dentures and
  save some money in the process, but dentures just
  cannot perform like permanent implants. All-on-4
  implants look, feel, and work exactly like your
  natural teeth, whereas you do not get these
  benefits with dentures.
• All-on-4 implants are better than your
  traditional implants in many ways. The major
  difference is that this treatment method uses
  only 4 implants on each arch. On the other hand,
  traditional implants use up to 8 implants per
  arch. Moreover, the procedure involves placing
  the implants at an angle to ensure better contact
  this way your bone will provide the support to
  these implants. Due to this particular reason,
  there is no need to go for bone grafting when
  opting for these implants. These features make
  all on 4's a much better choice than your regular
  dental implants.

Things You Should Know about All on 4's Dental
Implants

• You do not have to worry about undergoing a
  surgical procedure because your dentist will take
  all measures to make it as painless as possible.
  However, you need to keep in mind that your
  surgery is going to take about 2.5 hours - your
  dentist needs this much of time to fix each arch.
  
• Most people opt for regular implants but they do
  not get the results they might be expecting in
  the beginning. No such things happen with all on
  4 dental implants. In fact, studies show that the
  procedure has a 98 success rate, which makes it
  one of the best options for anyone interested in
  replacing multiple missing teeth.

Few Reasons Why People Opt for Dental Bridges

• Many people put their money on dental bridges
  because of aesthetics. By opting for a dental
  bridge, you will surely be able to fill the
  available space, but you will also be able to
  improve the shape and color of teeth around the
  bridge. Your dentist will use the available space
  to achieve desired results.
• These bridges are made of porcelain that looks
  good and complements the natural color of your
  teeth. Moreover, these porcelain bridges are
  extremely resistant to staining, so you do not
  have to worry about discoloration.

Few Reasons Why People Opt for Dental Bridges

• There is no need to worry about taking your
  bridge out to clean. It is fixed in your mouth
  and allow for easier cleaning. However, you
  should talk to your dentist and learn about
  cleaning tips for better results. You can brush
  your teeth as you normally do.
• Wearing a bridge is one of the best choices if
  the teeth on both sides of your missing tooth are
  broken down or heavily filled. Your dentist will
  help protect those teeth as well by crowing. A
  bridge in this situation will help strengthen
  your surrounding teeth and also replace the
  missing tooth.
• Going for dental bridges is a great idea because
  they are likely to last a long time. They are
  quite like individual crowns and serve you well.
  It may take a while to get used to these bridges,
  but you will eventually feel comfortable. If you
  pay attention to your oral hygiene, your bridges
  will keep serving you well for years.

Learn about the Types of Dental Implants

• Traditional Dental Bridges
• These are the most common and popular types of
  dental bridges. They have one or more fake teeth
  and require dental crowns to maintain their
  position. Also called abutments, these bridges
  are cemented on to the teeth around your missing
  tooth. You can opt for these types of bridges
  when your natural teeth around the gap are
  intact. These bridges are considered quite strong
  and can replace molars. The only thing you need
  to keep in mind is that your dentist will remove
  the enamel of the adjacent teeth to fix the
  bridge. Those adjacent teeth will also require
  crowns or else they will develop complications.
• Cantilever Bridges
• You will also find another type of bridge called
  cantilever bridges. You can use these to replace
  your missing teeth. While they are quite the same
  as the traditional bridges, they do not require
  support on the adjacent sides of your missing
  tooth. Your dentist will use an abutment on one
  side of your missing tooth for support. It means
  that if you have only one tooth close to the gap,
  you can still opt for a cantilever bridge. With
  these bridges, only one tooth needs to be
  prepared by the dentist.

Learn about the Types of Dental Implants

• Maryland Bridges
• If you are looking for a rather conservative
  alternative to a traditional bridge, you may
  consider going for a Maryland bridge. The bridge
  in this case will stay in place with the help of
  a pintic that uses a porcelain or metal framework
  for support. Your dentist will bond the framework
  on the back of the teeth surrounding the missing
  tooth. There is no need to file your adjacent
  teeth when you opt for Maryland bridges. They
  work quite effectively, but you need to bear in
  mind that they are not as strong as traditional
  bridges are.
• Implant-Supported Bridges
• In case you have multiple teeth missing, you can
  opt for an implant-supported bridge. What sets
  these bridges apart from those traditional
  bridges is that they are supposed by implants.
  Your dentist is likely to use one implant for
  every missing tooth and then use these implants
  to keep a bridge in place. These types of bridges
  are usually quite secure and comfortable.

Things to Know before Going for Full Mouth
Restorations

• Ask them how your smile will look like after the
  procedure. Your dentist will help you get a
  better idea regarding the smile makeover
  procedure you choose. Keep in mind that full
  mouth restorations not only affect your teeth but
  also have a direct impact on your facial
  structure. Therefore, it is a good idea to ask
  your dentist to show you some picture evidence to
  get an idea about how you are going to look after
  the procedure. You can check some before-after
  pictures to know what to expect after a
  procedure.
• Ask them about the additional follow-up
  treatments before going any further. Depending on
  what procedure you select, you may have to visit
  your dentist's office a number of times a month
  for follow-up treatments. With the advancement in
  technology, certain treatments, such as
  All-on-Four dental implants require only one day,
  but some treatments require more care and
  maintenance. Therefore, you should always discuss
  pre-procedure and post-procedure maintenance and
  care to know how to proceed in the right way.

12
Things to Know before Going for Full Mouth
Restorations

• Be sure to ask about the long-term cost of the
  procedure. Dental procedures cost a lot, and it
  is especially true for full mouth restorations.
  It is a good idea to ask your dentist about any
  long-term cost of different procedures. Do not
  just pay attention to the upfront cost of
  undergoing a procedure, but also know the
  long-term cost before committing to any given
  procedure.
• Always ask about any negative aspects related to
  any given procedure. You have to understand that
  full mouth restorations and procedures like the
  smile makeover can change your life
  significantly. While the procedures certainly
  offer a permanent solution to intractable dental
  problems, they also demand for some lifestyle
  changes for better results. Therefore, you should
  always ask your dentist about any pros and cons
  of undergoing any particular dental procedure.

13
Questions You Should Ask before Opting for Full
Mouth Restorations

• How are you going to ensure the best results?
• You have to ask this question when you first meet
  your dentist and show an interest in a full mouth
  reconstruction. You should ask them about how the
  procedure is going to change your bite function.
  It is worth mentioning that many people opt for
  full mouth restorations when they are already
  experiencing some bite problems, such as
  temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). Even if
  you already have a bite problem, you should still
  ask your dentist about how they are going to fix
  it. You should also inquire about the
  functionality of the treatment and the way your
  dentist is going to achieve the best results. To
  prevent certain issues, it is sometimes better to
  opt for a dentist specialized in cosmetic
  dentistry and neuromuscular dentistry.
• How many full mouth restorations have you done in
  the past?
• In other words, you should learn about the
  experience of a dentist before undergoing any
  procedure. Understand that your dentist is not
  going to deliver maximum satisfaction unless they
  are experienced and trained to perform the
  restorative dentistry procedures.

14
Questions You Should Ask before Opting for Full
Mouth Restorations

• Understand that an experienced dentist can
  prevent so many issues during the procedure do
  not select an inexperienced dentist to save some
  money. Your dentist should have years of
  experience, preferably dealing with procedures
  related to full mouth restorations. You should
  talk to your dentist and ask them what they know
  about restorative dentistry procedures and how
  they are going to handle your case.
• Is it possible to talk to an old patient?
• You can certainly use the internet and check some
  review sites to know what other are saying about
  your selected dentist, but you should not always
  trust what you read on those sites. The reason is
  that some dentists can have paid reviews and
  feedbacks only to mislead you. Therefore, you
  should definitely use the internet but use it to
  shortlist some top-rated cosmetic dentists in
  your area. Then, you should talk to those
  dentists in person and ask them to share their
  knowledge. You should ask if you can talk to a
  previous full mouth restoration patient. You will
  feel a lot more comfortable after speaking to
  someone who has undergone the same procedure.
  They will share their experience, which will help
  you learn about the quality of the dentist and
  also make you understand what to expect during
  the procedure.
