10 Reasons the All-on-4 in Houston Could Change Your Life

In the early 1990’s, European implantologist Dr. Paulo Malo innovated a sophisticateddental implant protocol to provide edentulous (toothless) and near-edentulous patientswith a comprehensive and non-removable tooth replacement solution. Unlike all previoustechnologies, such as dentures or bridges, the All-on-4 in Houston, as the protocol is known,provides a fixed and long-term solution that can last for decades without the need forrestoration or replacement. And unlike traditional dental implant protocol, the procedurefor the placement of All-on-4 in Houston can be completed in a single day, with a singlesurgery. So, if you are a denture-wearer or are considering a tooth replacement solution,then read on! In this two-part article series, we present the 10 reasons the All-on-4 inHouston could change your life!1. All-on-4 in Houston: Fixed and Non-removable TeethLet’s start with your level of self-consciousness. Most people struggling with rampant toothloss or edentulism choose removable dentures (false teeth) because they are the leastexpensive tooth replacement option on the market. But just ask anyone who has beenwearing removable dentures for any length of time and they will tell you about the ceaseless self-consciousness these archaic devices cause. “You constantly worry about your teeth moving around when you eat or talk,” explains one patient, “and you wonder if the people around you notice.” This isn’t even to mention the risk of ill-fitting dentures actually falling out your mouth, which might sound sensational, but is not unheard of! The All-on-4 in Houston consists of a complete set of customized prosthetic teeth affixed to the abutments of, as the

name suggests, four dental implants per jaw (see image above). As a result, yourreplacement teeth cannot move around or fall out. The fixed nature of the All-on-4 inHouston affords many other benefits…2. All-on-4 in Houston: Looked After Just like Natural TeethBecause the All-on-4 in Houston is fixed and non-removable, the dental bridge is cleanedjust like natural teeth: with regular brushing and flossing. Unlike removable dentures, thereis no need to remove the bridge at nighttime or after meals for cleaning, which is sociallyawkward at the best of times, not to mention an inconvenience!3. All-on-4 in Houston: No Need for Messy AdhesivesTired of constantly spending money on adhesives and worrying about your dentures sittingcomfortably? The All-on-4 in Houston is ‘permanently’ affixed in the mouth with dentalimplants, thus negating the need for denture products such as adhesives. This savespatients a lot of money in the long run! 4. All-on-4 in Houston: A Comfortable Teeth Replacement Solution The non-removable bridge used in the All-on-4 in Houston feels like a natural set of teeth and not like a foreign piece of plastic floating about in your mouth. This is largely thanks to the slimmer construction of the dental bridge. Removable dentures rely upon their bulkiness to keep them stabilized in the mouth. The All-on-4 in Houston is ‘anchored’ usingdental implants, so the bridge can be fabricated to be much less bulky and this feels farmore comfortable for patients.5. All-on-4 in Houston: No More Pain!Removable dentures sit on the gums covering the jaw bone ridge and transfer all the forcesassociated with eating and chewing directly to this vulnerable soft tissue. This causes muchdiscomfort, pain, inflammation and the development of sores that aren’t given a chance toheal. Just like natural teeth, the All-on-4 in Houston gets all the support it needs directlyfrom the underlying jaw bone. No more pain when eating and no more anesthetic gels!Stay Tuned…To read five more reasons why you should choose the All-on-4 in Houston as your toothreplacement solution, stay tuned for the final installment of this two-part article series.
