It can be hard to believe that a few years ago, most people didn’t have any clue about the existence of All-on-4 Marco Island dental implants. Now, countless patients use this treatment to replace their missing teeth. However, it’s important to note that certain factors have to be considered before dentists can make their recommendation for All-on-4 Marco Island treatment.
Most patients are mainly concerned about their speech issues because implant-supported bridges need vertical as well as horizontal bulk for strength and support. Although various restorative materials may be used to meet vertical bulk needs, most bridges would need about 15mm of height or more. For this reason, dentists may be forced to replace the patient’s missing teeth, as well as their healthy bone and soft-tissue volume. Doing so could have an impact on how the patient speaks. Thankfully, with practice and time, the tongue can be retrained to and correct the speech issue.
For patients who have parafunctional habits that include grinding and clenching of teeth, a modification of the fixed All-on-4 dental implant bridges may be required. The dentist may recommend using a removable bar-supported overdenture and a flat-planed night guard that they can snap onto the bar in order to protect the prosthesis and the implants and bone that support it.
Cases that involve a high caries index need to be evaluated before the dentist makes a final recommendation for an All-on-4 dental implant bridge. For example, when a patient with an upper full denture and decayed lower teeth requests for the specific treatment, the remaining teeth’s mobility, overall integrity, and bone density need to be considered.
