The All-on-4 in Houston: Your Frequently
        Asked Questions Answered, Part 1
            This four-part article series provides comprehensive answers to all the questions
             frequently asked about the All-on-4 dental implant protocol for complete oral
                                                rehabilitation.

According to the American Dental Association, a staggering 20 million people in the United States are missing all
of their natural teeth and a further 100 million are missing between 11 and 15 teeth. Tooth loss, which is most
frequently a result of poor lifelong oral hygiene, smoking and the acute and chronic oral bacterial infection of the
                            gums (periodontal disease), is a pervasive problem in the United States. The
                            technology previously used to provide edentulous (not having a single original adult
                            tooth left) and near-edentulous patients was removable dentures or ‘false teeth’ as
                            they are colloquially known. Yet, in spite of the leaps that have been made in the
                            treatment of tooth loss using dental implants - most notably the All-on-4 in Houston,
                            a sophisticated surgical protocol for complete oral rehabilitation - millions of people
                            still opt for dentures, which is an inferior tooth replacement technology that comes
                            hand-in-hand with numerous challenges and repeated expenses.

                          In order to help patients needing new teeth understand the many benefits and
                          advantages of dental implants as a comprehensive and long-term solution to rampant
tooth loss and edentulism, qualified and experienced implant dentist, Dr. Wayne Brueggen, will provide the
answers to your frequently asked questions in this four-part article series on the All-on-4 in Houston.

FAQ # 1: What is the All-on-4 in Houston?

Answer: The All-on-4 in Houston is a surgical plan for the placement of dental implants in patients that have
lost most, if not all of their teeth to oral bacterial infection, gum disease and decay. It enables implant dentists
to provide these patients with a brand new set of immediately functional, comfortable and non-removable teeth
that are virtually indistinguishable from a full set of natural healthy teeth.

FAQ # 2: Why is the All-on-4 in Houston considered to be a breakthrough in modern dental science?

Answer: The celebrity status of the All-on-4 in Houston quite simply has to do with the fact that this implant
protocol is capable of achieving the unprecedented. Patients can receive a brand new set of beautiful, functional
and non-removable teeth in as little as a single day, with a single surgery! Prior to the conception of the All-on-4
in Houston, patients were looking at spending as long as a year-and-a-half in and out of surgery before they
could enjoy a confident smile and functional bite. Furthermore, not everyone was a candidate for traditional
dental implant techniques. And the cherry on the top: the All-on-4 in Houston saves the average patient a
staggering $25,000 on oral rehabilitation and, for more complex cases, a whopping $45,000!

FAQ # 3: Why is the protocol called the All-on-4?

Answer: The protocol essentially involves the affixing of a fully customized
prosthetic dental bridge to four dental implants in the mouth. The name, “All-
on-4”, refers to the fact that edentulous and near-edentulous patients can get a
brand new set of teeth, which are supported entirely by only four dental implants
per jaw (see image above). This is as opposed to traditional dental implant
techniques, which frequently called for six, eight and ten implants to be placed
per jaw.
