Her experience reflects a personal decision to pursue a change that aligned with her lifestyle and values. She says that the stability of having a fixed dental bridge has made everyday routines feel more manageable. “Once you’ve done the research and made the decision to proceed—go for it,” she shares. “That was the best thing I’ve done for myself.”
The All-On-4 Plus® approach is structured to support both functional and aesthetic outcomes. For many patients, fixed full-arch restorations can simplify oral care and reduce the need for removable appliances. It is important to note that outcomes vary between individuals based on oral health, bone density, and other health factors. Practitioners assess each patient carefully to determine if the treatment is appropriate for them.
Maria says that the decision to move away from dentures helped her feel more confident about her daily routine and interactions. “It’s never too late to make that change,” she says.
For individuals considering alternatives to dentures, a professional consultation can help clarify the options available. Each person’s needs are different, and treatment decisions are best made in collaboration with a qualified dental professional.
Maria’s experience highlights the value of taking the time to explore long-term options and make informed choices. While she spent many years adapting to dentures, she found that moving to a fixed implant-supported bridge suited her goals in retirement.
