  1. Do You Remove All-on-4 Dental Implants? All-on-4 dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution for patients who have lost most or all their teeth. These implants are not typically removed unless there is a compelling medical or dental reason to do so. Here's what you need to know about their removal: What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

Reasons for Removing All-on-4 Implants While removal is rare, there are some scenarios where it may be necessary: 1.Implant Failure a.Occasionally, an implant may fail to integrate with the bone. This can occur due to infection, insufficient bone density, or excessive force on the implant. b.Removal would be necessary to address the issue and consider alternatives. 2.Infection or Peri-Implantitis a.Peri-implantitis is an infection of the tissues surrounding the implant. If left untreated, it can lead to bone loss and compromise the stability of the implant, requiring removal. 3.Prosthetic Issues a.Damage to the prosthetic bridge (the attached teeth) may require detachment for repairs. However, the implants themselves are usually left intact. 4.Bone Resorption or Health Changes a.Significant changes in bone structure or medical conditions that affect the jawbone might necessitate implant removal. How Are They Removed? The removal process is highly specialized and requires the expertise of a skilled dental surgeon. Using precision tools, the dentist carefully detaches the prosthetic bridge and removes the implants without damaging the surrounding bone or tissue.

  3. Can be All-on-4 Implants Be Replaced? In most cases, new implants can be placed after removal, provided the jawbone is healthy enough to support them. Bone grafting may be needed to restore the jaw's density before a new implant procedure.
