When I do research on the internet for All-on-4 implants I find several different materials/implants marketed but no real comparison of the pros and cons of each. For example: ZIRPEEK, XircOn Ultra or Ultimate, G4 PMMA vs G4 Ultra Zirconia, but comparisons are hard to come by. This is a huge, lifetime investment - what's the best way to research the options?
I currently have implants over dentures and do love them. Four upper and two lower implants. However, would like to convert to All-On-Four. What's the process; is it painful; would i need a new set of dentures; approx how mush, $$$. Thank you.
Hi, I am 53 years old, Ive had my permanent all on 4 dentures for 3 months. They are on the bottom only and everything I eat is stuck under them, All day and night I am brushing, Water picking, Flossing and Rinsing. It is so uncomfortable and I cant go out to eat any meals. Im so depressed and my Dentist wont fix them he says he stands behind his work. Any suggestions. Thanks
I'm a 74 yr old woman who had all on 4 surgery and same day placement of temporaries 10 months ago. For the last 6 months I've had to have them drilled down because I kept catching my teeth and tongue and the molars wouldn't allow me to close my jaw normally. The biting has been better but my molars still clunk together. My dentist said if at my next visit I'm still uncomfortable we have to make new temps. That could take 3-4 weeks. I the molar problem really a problem?
Hi, Ive had all on 4 finals put in 2 months ago. The last temp I had had a weird bite and was loose. I told that to the dentist but nobody listened. Now the permanent set keeps on getting loose. I already went in 2 times for them to tighten them and they come loose the very next day. What do you think the problem could be? It doesnt hurt and the implants are not failing.
I want to have All on Six upper and lower. My friend had hers done a month ago, and her acrylic temporary arches keep breaking. The very 'reputable' surgeon also doesn't appear to be correcting her overbite, which he said he could. In fact, her temporary bridges are both protruding, and she has a hard time talking/chewing. Is this all a normal part of the process for this procedure???? After seeing her nightmare, I'm worried.
I had severely receding gums and have lost a couple of teeth. My gum line is really high, my teeth look brown and huge! My dentist has suggested veneers to fix the appearance of my teeth. However, i hate how long my teeth are and think they will look even bigger with veneers fitted. Would you ever recommend all-on-4 implants for someone who could still salvage enough teeth to not need them? I feel like they will look better than veneers. Thank you!
