Life After Tooth Loss: Why More Patients Are Choosing All-on-4 Over Complete Dentures
by Dr. Davide Romeo, Prosthodontist at Milano Dental Studio | Manhattan, NY
Maria had lived with complete dentures for nearly a decade. At first, she felt lucky. She could smile again, and her teeth—though artificial—restored a sense of normalcy. But as the years passed, that feeling began to erode. Her dentures no longer fit quite right. They slipped when she spoke. Clicking sounds interrupted her laughter. Hard foods became off-limits, and she started avoiding social meals, embarrassed to chew in public.
Even more quietly, something else had begun to change—her face. The lower half seemed to collapse inward, making her appear older than she felt. Her cheeks hollowed out, and her jawline softened. She tried new skincare routines, different hairstyles—but nothing could reverse the effects of bone loss happening beneath her dentures.
Maria assumed this was just aging.
It wasn’t. It was the reality of life with removable dentures.
When she walked into Milano Dental Studio in Manhattan and learned about All-on-4 dental implants, her story took a different turn—one filled with confidence, function, and freedom.
And Maria’s story is far from rare.
The Hidden Cost of Removable Dentures
Tooth loss doesn’t just affect the teeth—it touches every aspect of daily life: what you eat, how you speak, how you look, and how you feel about yourself.
Traditional complete dentures have long been a common solution, especially for older adults. But they come with trade-offs:
It’s a slow but powerful effect—and many people accept it simply because they don’t know there’s another option.
A Permanent Alternative: All-on-4 Dental Implants
The All-on-4 treatment concept offers a powerful alternative. By anchoring a full arch of teeth to just four precisely placed dental implants, this approach provides a secure, stable, and natural-looking solution—without the drawbacks of removable dentures.
