Hi, thank you for your All-on-4 denture question. All-on-4 dentures are prosthesis that are retained in the mouth and normally are much more stable than a Snap in denture. Yes, you can convert from one to the other, but traditionally the All-on-4 prosthesis is better for you. It is a more retentive and stable prosthesis. I think that you should have a conversation with your dental specialist regarding why you want to switch over and weigh the pros and cons with both. Good luck!
Acrylic dentures can be modified relatively easily and quickly. But why would you want to do that ?
Actually, it is easy. I do this often & vice versa. First find out if your implants were placed on angles (despite having bone, some doctors don't put them in straight; not a fan since I place them in straight). Second, find out if the implant brand can have Zest attachments placed into them. You will then need a new set of teeth. I have several examples. Good luck justbeckyg
It depends on the placement and position of the implants. The abutments which connect the implants to the bridge would have to be changed. Also, the bridge would likely have to be converted to an overdenture. The All-on-Four bridge is the most ideal option.
Yes it can be done, the solution is in the abutments, if you have the correct system of all on, 4 which is from NOBELBIOCARE, the multiunit need to be modified, if you have other brand you need to ask your doctor.
CAN it be converted? Yes. But not easily. It isn't complicated, but "simple" is not accurate. There are many factors to consider, and the best option is a Deutsch Removable Bridge.
Congrats on taking this great step towards your oral health! Depending on which implant system they used, the implant fixture are usually interchangeable so if you chose to have a removable snap replacement, only the attachments on the implants need to be replaced.. Best of luck and hope this helps :)
You would need to have some implants towards the back of you mouth. Most denture retaining implants are placed near the front. So, the answer is yes, but you may need additional implants.
When you need an all on 4, all of the remaining teeth are removed. This process continues to heal after the procedure is completed. This space is only a problem if it can be seen, you have problems speaking or food is trapped under. Ask about adding more pink material to the existing denture
The cost of 35,000 is very reasonable considering the amount of work done to give you back your smile and ability to chew. This is a great deal of money and patients always comment they should have done it sooner!consider doing the implants on the lower only with a denture on the top. This may...
