Difference Between All-On-4 and Implant Bridges

Board Certified Prosthodontist and Board-Certified implant Dentist, Dr. David McFadden, discusses the differences between the ever-popular “All-On-4” treatment and Implant Bridges.
He also discusses dental photography with “lips retracted”; revealing everything, not JUST the front teeth and lips, like we see in ads, or on dental website photo galleries. He challenges that with dental reconstruction “Before & After” cases, when they’re photographed to show you how beautiful a dentist’s work is, that it’s misleading to only show that part without showing the full scope of what’s “under the hood” so to speak, with the dental restorations they design and deliver in patients’ mouths; particularly with full mouth reconstructions. He argues that: If you cannot see the foundation or gum line areas of these full arch or full mouth restorations for a full close-up view, how can you truly judge the abilities of a dentist’s best work? (The work he/she’’s willing to put out there for all to see?)
He proposes that in order to be able to see a dentist’s reconstructive and cosmetic results, they should be willing to retract the lips in their photos and not ONLY show the front teeth and the smile, but the foundation, as well as.

    the fact that these are the only kind of reviews we tend to see makes me scared about dental work. I don't need my dentist to call me. I don't need the receptionist to be friendly. I need the office to BE clean, but I don't need it to LOOK clean. I need long lasting dental work, not a day at the spa. It's not bad to be caring and empathetic, but let us know how his actual dental work holds up over the years

    Can you please explain something to me. I can’t believe what happened. I had an implant bridge and it cracked. I had to save for a bit to get the 10,000 to replace it. I assumed he would just make me another implant bridge. My dentist put in an implant denture. It is awful. I went back and said I would wear the cracked bridge instead of this. He said the change he made is irreversible. I just sat there sobbing. He said he would make another replacement and would not charge me more. I just could not stop crying, I didn’t understand that this could even happen. Is there a way that what he did is irreversible? He did not cut my gums at all. Is there anything I can do. Thank you so very much.

    Without x-rays or seeing you we can only give you a large range of $25,000 - 70,000. If you have dental insurance that covers either the implants and/or the bridges, you’d get your annual maximum from them. Typically $1,000-2,500 total. In some cases, when the treatment spans over two different calendar years, sometimes you can get two years worth of insurance benefits.

    Every patient is different. But, we do NOT extract all the teeth. We extract selective teeth, place implants and measure their tightness. If the first four implants are tight (high insertion torque) we extract a couple more, place two more implants and measure their torque. For low torque, we leave teeth in to serve as abutments for the temporary teeth for 2.5 months, come back and extract the remaining teeth, place additional implants then convert the temporary to all implants. I call this a "strategic" approach.

    That all depends on the status of those teeth and the bone. Most patients with some teeth can have implant bridges and SHOULD NOT consider All-on-4 treatment for all the reasons I state in my videos. Good teeth should be saved until there are so few good teeth that they "get in the way" of the reconstruction.

    Implant bridges and 3 on 6, (given the 3 on 6 is done with NO PINK porcelain or zirconium,) are the same. The difference being that one is a single unit and the others is 3 units. The biggest difference we are trying to show here is not necessarily whether the prosthesis is a single unit full arch bridge or three units, which esthetically look the same, but focusing on the fact that the pink tissues are the patient’s own gum tissues.

    In the example of the implant bridge I see that there is no fake gum, but what are the other differences that make them a bridge and not a denture on stilts as it were? Is it not one long continuous piece like the all on four? Also, how does the gum know to grow around the prosthesis in that way? Is there any risk of the gum receding exposing the implants? Do you know how much the cost varies by market? I am in VA but being forced to move unfortunately to a very expensive area of CA that I can't afford-I am disabled and dependent and live with my parents and very scared of all the high costs of everything, but thinking this will impact my mouth restoration as well.

    The main difference is placing implants to avoid angled abutments. We add pink zirconium if the patient has pre-existing bone loss. I do not remove bone in the maxilla and only when absolutely necessary in the mandible. Second big factor is creating a prosthesis that is convex and not concave. I hope this answers your question.

    The prosthesis could be remade to fit more tightly against the gums, closing the open space. OR- *If the prosthesis is made of acrylic, (this would be the easiest, as instead of remaking it,) they could modify the underside of it by adding more acrylic to fill in the open space where the air is flowing now and causing the lisp. I actually have photos of this in one of my other videos. It’s on the “Buyer Beware: Problems with All-On-4” video. I had a patient for whom I modified the underside of his prosthesis because of food entrapment and not being able to properly clean between the prosthesis and gums. (Different symptom of the same problem as your partner.) Here's a link to the video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o5aitJuHZKidXbw.html Fast forward to the 20:00 point to see what I mean by MODIFYING the underside. I hope this helps.

    Unfortunately, I cannot advise you on that. It’s a tricky thing to win with as a private consumer. After all: The insurance companies are in the business of making money. And that ultimately means collecting more in premiums than they spend paying claims. The bigger plans, through large employer sponsored group policies (think IBM, for example) tend to have better coverage and are useful because you only pay part of the full premium and the employer pays the rest. Additionally, from our experience, private policies very often have waiting periods before “major” services are covered. You may find one to pay for the extractions during the first year, but not the bone grafts, and but the extractions are a minimal part of the cost… and it’s usually a wash, if not a loss. And the yearly maximums they pay haven’t changed much since the 79s. Most still limit com overage to $1,000/year, and then nickel and dime you to death on what they will pay for. If you do shop around, I’d advise you ask about “waiting periods,” for certain services and “missing tooth clauses”. (Meaning if a tooth was missing when you started coverage, there is no coverage at all for that tooth/those teeth, even as part of a bridge or other treatment that ultimately replaces it). And some, (like HMOs) dictate who you can go to and allow no coverage out of network. I forty’s my, it’s just not like medical coverage. It’s hard to come out on top :(

    Thank you for the great explanation! This implant bridge looks so beautiful resting against the natural tissue. How many implants need to be placed for this type of bridge? What does the x-ray look like underneath? Over time, will the tissue eventually shrink away from the bridge causing a gap?

  • @mcfaddendentalimplantcenter

    @mcfaddendentalimplantcenter

    Typically, 6 or 8 implants. The post-op x-ray showed good bone levels around the implants. With proper cleaning and maintenance, the tissues will remain where they are after implant healing and final bridge placement (given that this has not been rushed, and the tissues were given ample time to fully heal prior to bridge fabrication and insertion). WITHOUT proper cleaning and maintenance, the tissues and bone can shrink, just like around natural teeth, so good homecare maintenance is VERY important!

However mine don’t look like in that last pic. The teeth don’t sit on the gum but are more large and tall. What was the difference? I’m not satisfied with the job even though it was an expensive job which involved bone grafting etc. Can you guide me with what should have been done different, and if there’s something to be done in a case like mine?

The 3-on-6 is very similar to our technique but it uses cement for retention instead of screw retention. We've known for at least 10 years that the cement used in Implant dentistry is toxic to the Bone and soft tissues. Screw retention is superior!

    You could call it "beauty and the beast" in comparison. The All on 4 look like overpriced, morphed dentures but with lots of metal showing. A monstrous outcome. I'd be mortified to end up going into this treatment plan , only to have it look like this. When I think about the whole point is to return the mouth to a healthy, and aesthetically pleasing state... this would not be it. Isn't the entire goal to save bone and tissue as well as prevent further loss? When I first saw a photo of the bone that's removed, it sickened me. I'm desperately clinging on to what little I have left, fighting a losing battle and health suffering as a result. So many of my dental issues have been caused by poor dentistry and since watching the first videos from this clinic I have had a tooth literally drop out of my mouth. It was a crown placed on a root canal that had been repaired a couple years ago. Inwas aware of the decay but what I found was much more. The entire center was filled with cotton gauze, so only a thin shell was bonded to the root canal. With ongoing irreparable decay, I surely didn't need to see what was involved in this $1500 repair. May not sound like a lot of money but for someone whose disabled, it's money I could ill afford to waste. Why dental implant bridges aren't the standard in tooth replacement is beyond me

Being ultra sensitive to any excessive bacteria due to an extreme case of oral Lichen Planus, as soon as I saw the flawed concave design of All on 4, I saw what a disaster waiting to happen it would be based on 1 single flaw. Then the angled abutments. All this awkward, hard to clean space these dentures on stilts, why? Just aesthetically, smile a little too wide exposes a Frankenstein mess. I had not realized a patient could very well end up having to pop them out and use store bought products to temporarily cement them and hope for the best!!!! Dentures would be more preferable for the cost and results I won't ever be able to afford, what clearly are the only safe and healthy back teeth restoration. Once they're pulled, I'm forced to live without any due to this cursed lichen planus and the restrictions of a disability income. Yet I will continue to promote the only same dental restoration on the market today. I'm sure as time goes by, little tweeks will only improve implant bridges. I wish dentists would stop promoting permanent bridges that destroy healthy teeth and are doomed to failure as cement loosens and those natural teeth break down. Mine suggested it as a more affordable option but alarm bells went off with just some basic research. Hard to treat Lichen Planus impacts the health as it limits your diet. As a very young looking 57 year old woman, as I lose first one molar, then another....to see the cheeks start to hollow out robs you of your confidence. I've already retreated somewhat. I see what I'll look like with the rest pulled and despite decay.....I've delayed extractions. Both for vanity and to enjoy eating solid food while I still can. Keep promoting this healthy approach to dental restoration. Your videos are well presented and relatively easy for people to understand. An informed patient is best able to advocate for their health and realize that over the long-run, costs will be less
