However, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nidcr.nih.gov\/research\/data-statistics\/tooth-loss\/adults\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 in 10 Americans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> aged 50-64 has lost all their teeth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be frightening to think about total tooth loss and how that would affect your future in terms of eating and speaking. In addition, replacement teeth in the form of dentures is not a desirable solution for many patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, dental advancements have provided edentulous patients (people with no teeth) with an excellent option for replacing their missing teeth \u2014 All-on-4 dental implants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t know what they are? Come along with us as we explore everything you need to know about all-on-4 dental implants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are all-on-4 dental implants?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever heard of a regular dental implant? For this procedure, a small hole is drilled into the jawbone to implant a titanium post. This post acts as a replacement for your natural tooth root.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the post is implanted, you\u2019ll be sent home to heal for a few months. Once the tissue is ready, the dentist adds an abutment to the post to which a custom-made crown can be attached.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the closest to a natural replacement tooth that you can get. Being fused to your jawbone, the implant is just as sturdy as a natural tooth and you don\u2019t have to do anything special to take care of it: just brush and floss your teeth as normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-on-4 implants are used when you are missing most or all of your teeth on either the top or bottom. An entire bridge is created to replace the missing teeth, but it is mounted on just four implants. This is far more cost-effective, less intense, and less painful than replacing each tooth individually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, while individual implants go straight down into your jawbone, the four implant points for all-on-4 implants are inserted at a 45-degree angle. This is important because it allows for shallower implants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"4486\" class=\"elementor elementor-4486\" data-elementor-settings=\"[]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-79b4af92 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"79b4af92\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4da2d2f2\" data-id=\"4da2d2f2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68a3f6df elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"68a3f6df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Give $50, get $50.<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49889980 cta_text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"49889980\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Refer someone to book a dentist with Opencare and you&#8217;ll both get $50.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a5b61dc\" data-id=\"a5b61dc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b432eb7 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5b432eb7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/affiliates\/?source=search-app-header\/?utm_source=organic&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=conversion&#038;utm_term=all_++++_patient+++++&#038;utm_content=valuablecontent__opencare_blog__octg\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-xs\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Refer a friend<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means the procedure requires less healthy bone in the jaw to attach the implant. Most people won\u2019t require a bone graft to support the all-on-4 implant. Plus, instead of waiting months for the posts to heal and fuse with the jawbone, some people can get their new prosthetic teeth fitted in the same visit as the surgery. Others may have to wait a few months for healing, as it depends on the state of their mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is eligible for all-on-4 dental implants?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most anyone with missing teeth or whose teeth are damaged beyond repair is eligible for the procedure. Even those who have already experienced bone loss may be eligible. Bone loss happens naturally when there are no teeth to support the jawbone. Furthermore, wearing the implant will help prevent more bone loss from happening. This will help maintain a more youthful appearance and is better for your overall oral health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that\u2019s something to smile about!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are all-on-4 dental implants removable?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike partial or full dentures,\u00a0 all-on-4 implants are not removable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you heal after the procedure, the implants fuse to your jawbone, creating a permanent prosthesis that is basically the same as having natural teeth in your mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the benefits of all-on-4 dental implants?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just from what we&#8217;ve discussed so far, it isn&#8217;t hard to see the benefits of all-on-4 dental implants. However, let&#8217;s take a closer look at each one here.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feel like natural teeth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another big issue with dentures as a restorative measure for severe tooth loss is that they don&#8217;t feel natural. This can cause issues with speech and discomfort when wearing. Some people even experience psychological distress from having a foreign object in their mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While all-on-4 dental implants do add a little bit of bulk that can feel odd at first, most people acclimate quickly. Once the bone heals and the initial adjustment period has passed, most people no longer notice the implant in their mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By far, it is the dental prosthetic that feels most like natural teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look like natural teeth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond feeling like natural teeth, all-on-4 implants also look like natural teeth. If you look closely enough at dentures, it can be noticeable that the teeth are false. Additionally, if dentures slip around or fall out while speaking or eating, it becomes obvious quite quickly that your teeth are fake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental implants won\u2019t ever slip or fall out. They are firmly in place, just like your natural teeth. They are carefully crafted to closely resemble the teeth they are replacing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Single implants are usually colored to match the rest of your teeth. However, if you\u2019re replacing all of them, you can have them made a few shades whiter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, that bright white smile you\u2019ve always dreamed of is within your grasp!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help prevent bone loss<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you ever noticed how the jaw of an edentulous person seems to be receding? Their whole face seems to be falling, the skin starts sagging, all of which can create an appearance of aging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why does this happen?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The jawbone requires support to stay healthy and strong. With no teeth to support it, the bone begins to erode, creating that sunken face look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dentures aren\u2019t always a good solution. While they can help sometimes, if the dentures are ill-fitting they can actually speed up bone loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An all-on-4 dental implant takes care of this problem for good. With the full arch in your mouth supporting your bone, you can retain your facial structure and enjoy a more youthful appearance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy to care for<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re already used to flossing and brushing your teeth twice a day, or at least you should be. That&#8217;s all you have to do with an all-on-4 dental implant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There&#8217;s no messing around with popping your dentures out and letting them soak overnight or trying to stick them in with adhesives. Once the implant procedure is over and the bridge is mounted, you&#8217;re done!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on what caused your edentulous state in the first place, you might need to step up your oral hygiene habits or visit the dentist more often. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/opencare.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a dentist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> here if you don\u2019t yet have one.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"4486\" class=\"elementor elementor-4486\" data-elementor-settings=\"[]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-79b4af92 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"79b4af92\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4da2d2f2\" data-id=\"4da2d2f2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68a3f6df elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"68a3f6df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Give $50, get $50.<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49889980 cta_text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"49889980\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Refer someone to book a dentist with Opencare and you&#8217;ll both get $50.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a5b61dc\" data-id=\"a5b61dc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b432eb7 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5b432eb7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/affiliates\/?source=search-app-header\/?utm_source=organic&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=conversion&#038;utm_term=all_++++_patient+++++&#038;utm_content=valuablecontent__opencare_blog__octg\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-xs\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Refer a friend<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other than that, you can go on living life and stop worrying about your teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better oral health<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an effort to avoid dentures, some people may be resistant to removing problematic teeth.\u00a0 Unfortunately, in some cases, the teeth are beyond help. Leaving damaged teeth in your mouth typically only leads to more problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, all-on-4 dental implants give people an option to remove their teeth and replace them with a more convenient alternative. Getting those rotten, infected, or otherwise unhealthy teeth out of the mouth is a far better option for overall oral health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enjoy the foods you love<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all-on-4 implants, you can continue to enjoy the foods you love.Of course, you\u2019ll want to use caution. We don\u2019t recommend consuming copious amounts of peanut brittle, popcorn, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insider.com\/is-chewing-ice-bad-for-your-teeth\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chomping ice cubes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, you can enjoy foods like apples, carrots, and other healthy foods that will support both your oral and overall health for a happier life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faster implant procedure<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may be used to the idea of dental implants requiring months to complete. After the initial surgery to implant the posts, you have to wait a few months for them to heal and fuse with the jawbone. While you may be given a temporary prosthetic to fill the space, you won\u2019t get your final crown for months.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dealing with a temporary placeholder can be annoying and the alternative is to have a hole in your smile for a few months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neither is ideal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the all-on-4 implants are inserted at a 45-degree angle, offering enough support and structure without having to wait for the implants to heal. Some people can be fitted with their new teeth during the same office visit or within a few days.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the potential problems with all-on-4 dental implants?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, no surgical procedure is without its risks. Here are the potential all-on-4 dental implants problems you may run into.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risk of infection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use a reputable oral surgeon for the procedure, the risk of infection is very low. Some dentists may place you on an antibiotic after the procedure to help prevent infection, but it is not always necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main thing is to stay on top of your oral hygiene. Keeping your mouth clean by brushing your teeth and removing bacteria with mouthwash will minimize the risk of infection significantly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"2964\" class=\"elementor elementor-2964\" data-elementor-settings=\"[]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-section-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f73b7d2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f73b7d2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3ab6f21\" data-id=\"3ab6f21\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0ccac3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d0ccac3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Due for a checkup?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b87420a cta_text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b87420a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Find a top rated dentist near you that takes your insurance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae7ac98\" data-id=\"ae7ac98\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5290808 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5290808\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/?utm_source=organic&#038;utm_medium=blog&#038;utm_campaign=conversion&#038;utm_term=all_++++_patient+++++&#038;utm_content=valuablecontent__opencare_blog__octg\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-xs\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Book now<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If signs of infection are present, notify your dentist immediately. Swift action can keep you from losing the implant altogether. How do you know if it is infected? Watch for pus, puffy gums, bleeding, or pain around the implant. The implant may become loose or wobbly. You may also develop a fever or notice a bad taste in your mouth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implant failure<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately 5% of patients will find that the implants don\u2019t fuse to the bone. This is called implant failure and can happen to anyone. Often it is unclear why the implant failed in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news, however, is that most people can try again and experience a successful fusion the second time around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can lower the risk of failure by following your dentist\u2019s post-surgery care instructions carefully. This includes eating soft foods, not smoking which is inherently <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/tobacco\/campaign\/tips\/diseases\/periodontal-gum-disease.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bad for your teeth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and taking proper hygienic care of your teeth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much do all-on-4 dental implants cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to replacing all your teeth, all-on-4 dental implants cost less than doing multiple individual implants. The work is less intensive, requires fewer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-dentist-appointment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dentist appointments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and involves less downtime. All these factors contribute to it being a less expensive procedure overall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, that doesn\u2019t mean that the procedure is cheap. All-on-4 dental implants cost between $15,000 and $28,000 dollars \u2014 averaging out to about $21,000. Keep in mind that additional costs such as extractions or the initial consultation are not included in this figure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t hesitate to shop around. Dentists in smaller towns may offer the same quality procedure at a lower cost. Try researching \u201call-on-4 dental implants cost near me\u201d in Google in various towns to see what you find.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long do all-on-4 dental implants last?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-on-4 dental implants aren\u2019t removable, but how long do they last? Are you going to be back in the dentist\u2019s chair eventually having your implants yanked out and replaced?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In all likelihood, no.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-on-4 dental implants are a relatively new procedure so it isn\u2019t known 100% how long they can last. However, most dental professionals agree that it is reasonable to expect them to last 20-25 years. Many say they could potentially last for the patient\u2019s lifetime, depending on the age of the patient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prosthesis that is mounted on the implants is not expected to last quite as long. With proper care, you can expect your prosthesis to last around 10-15 years. The good news is that a new prosthesis can be fashioned and mounted on your existing implants without having to do surgery again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help your implants and prosthesis last as long as possible, follow good oral hygiene rules. Brush and floss daily, visit the dentist for cleanings twice a year, limit eating hard or sticky candy and food, wear a mouthguard when playing contact sports, and don\u2019t use your teeth as a tool.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for a dentist?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you searching for a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/opencare.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dentist near you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?
