Implants: All On 4 vs All On 6

by Legacy Dental | May 10, 2022

If you have some missing teeth in your mouth and you've been researching a replacement strategy, you may already have come across the terms all-on-4 and all-on-6. The first difference these two techniques involves the actual implant process. All-on-4 requires just four implants to be installed in your upper or lower jaw bone, while all-on-6 requires six implants. Six full implants are needed to support a hybrid denture, and that is sometimes necessary when there is inadequate jawbone mass to support all-on-4 implants. Dental implants are probably the best way to replace any missing teeth, and that's why we encourage them at our Legacy Dental clinic in Salt Lake City.

All-on-4 Compared To Implant Bridges: Which Is Better For You?

by Legacy Dental | May 10, 2022

Both of these options are very good alternatives when it's necessary to replace missing teeth. Both procedures rely on dental implants, and there's no question that implants are superior to other options like partial dentures, full dentures, and fixed bridges. You just can't beat the kind of rock-solid anchoring provided by dental implants. At Legacy Dental of Salt Lake City in Utah, we offer both solutions to patients, so you'll be able to make the choice that's best for your circumstances. Our dental practitioners are equally adept at both installation procedures, so whichever process you choose will be well supported. In our comparison of the two, let's begin by describing what's involved with each.

Implant-Supported Dentures vs. Traditional Dentures: Which One's better?

by Legacy Dental | May 10, 2022

If you were to ask someone who had experienced both traditional dentures and implant-supported dentures, you would likely get a very definitive comparison. Let's consider the cost of both procedures. At Legacy Dental of Salt Lake City, Utah, you would find the same price differential between the two as at any other locale around the country. Traditional dentures might cost somewhere between $500 and $1,000, whereas implant-supported dentures would be more likely to cost between $1,500 and $4,000. A big part of that cost is centered around the implants themselves, and the surgical procedure necessary to install them.

How Does Snap On Dentures Compare To All On 4 Implants?

by Legacy Dental | May 10, 2022

In order to compare these two dental appliances, it will be necessary to define what each one is. Snap-on dentures are those that can be secured in your mouth by attaching them to dental implants. The implants themselves are usually made of titanium, because that substance bonds well with human bone. In fact, that is exactly the intention - to have the titanium post fuse with the jawbone over time, thus creating a rock-solid anchor for the dentures to be placed on top of them. It is generally necessary to install two implants for securing the dentures.

When Can You Have An Implant After Tooth Extraction?

by Legacy Dental | May 10, 2022

When you get a tooth extracted, it will of course leave an empty space in your mouth that feels somewhat unnatural. It also causes some changes to occur in your mouth that you might not immediately notice. Because there is a missing tooth and it is no longer stimulated, the jaw bone area starts to deteriorate. Since there is an open area, that allows the surrounding teeth to shift toward that open space.
