Problems: All On 4 Dental Implants

While there are significant advantages to the All On 4, there are also risks the patient needs to be aware of.  A primary concern with this technique is the risk of failure. In the event of just one implant failure, the entire restoration fails.

Another Common Problem Area Associated With The All On 4

It is commonplace that the All On 4 patient will endure jaw atrophy that occurs in the posterior region of the jaw. This atrophy poses an increased risk of jaw fracture. Since the all on four technique only places implants in the anterior of the jaw, the bone in the posterior is not stimulated to remain and retain its dentistry; consequently, posterior jaw resorption can occur.
