All-on-4 Vs Potomac Dental Centre’s Roundhouse

When exploring full arch tooth replacement options, many of our patients find themselves comparing the popular “All-on-4” procedure with our Roundhouse option. While both are designed to restore your smile and function, they have important differences that are worth understanding before you make a decision. At Potomac Dental Centre, located in Hagerstown, MD, we take pride in offering solutions that are customizable, comfortable, and sustainable for long-term success.

What is All-on-4?

“All-on-4” is a method offered by many dental offices where a full set of teeth is secured using four traditional implants. This prosthetic is usually screwed into place and is not removable by the patient. While this option can provide stability, it also comes with a few considerations.

Cons of All-on-4:

• Invasive Surgery: Placing four traditional implants can be very invasive to the bone. It often requires significant surgery and bone modification, which leads to more discomfort and longer recovery times.
• One-Size-Fits-All Approach: The standard All-on-4 protocol calls for four implants, regardless of a patient’s specific needs or bone structure. This lack of customization may not provide the best outcome for everyone.
• Risk of Implant Failure: If even one implant fails, the stress of your bite gets redistributed to the remaining implants. This can increase the risk of further failure and may cause the prosthetic to rock or become unstable over time.

Why Choose Potomac Dental Centre’s Roundhouse Zirconia Bridge?

Our cemented implant-supported zirconia bridges (Roundhouse) offer an advanced alternative that combines strength, aesthetics, and comfort all customized to you.

Your Roundhouse treatment plan is designed based on your specific bone structure, oral health, and long-term goals.
