Zirconia Bridge for All-On-4
If you suffer from missing one or several teeth, dental bridges can be an effective solution. Dental bridges can be made out of several different materials such as porcelain, metal, and zirconia. Zirconia is a ceramic material that has revolutionized modern dentistry. Due to the exceptional qualities it has to offer in terms of durability and aesthetics, dental professionals are widely using zirconias to produce efficient and effective dental veneers, implants, and bridges.
Types Of Materials
When selecting replacement teeth for a prosthesis, there are four materials to choose from when choosing All-On-4. No material is the same or best for every patient. Ideally, you and your dentist will work together to select the ideal material for you. In reality, your dentist will work with your unique situation while offering you suggestions.

All-On-Four is our most affordable solution for patients who want to replace their dentures with fixed teeth. For many denture-wearing patients, implants were an impossibility due to their high cost. Now, with the All-On-Four fixed bridge technique, patients are able to get out of their uncomfortable denture, and once again have a beautiful set of teeth!
The end result is a solid base for your new teeth to attach to, never having to be removed. The procedure saves time and money, all with minimal discomfort. The All-On-Four procedure is virtually painless and does not usually require any bone grafting.
All-on-4 for poor or hopeless teeth lost to periodontal disease
Periodontal disease is one of the main causes of teeth and bone loss. The severe gum infection causes the gums to become inflamed and eventually form large pockets where plaque bacteria manifest. The plaque that grows below the gumline affects the supporting tissue and begins to deteriorate, causing teeth to become loose and eventually fall out or have to be extracted.
In the past, between 6 – 10 implants were needed to supply enough strength for a fixed implant bridge for full-arch restoration. New technology has found that if the end implants are placed at certain angles, their strength is drastically increased. This also allows us to utilize the existing bone, without having to complete bone grafting prior to the All-On-Four procedure to strengthen the bone density. Because of this, we are able to anchor a fixed bridge with as few as 4 or 6 implants (far fewer than normally used). Placing fewer implants also saves the patient thousands of dollars. The implants, as well as your new teeth, will be placed in the same visit. This will allow you to leave the office with beautiful new teeth on the very same day!
