Is Four-on-one A New Procedure? Is It A Safe And Reasonable Alternative To Individual Posts And Crowns?
dental question. I have no upper teeth and currently wear an upper denture. The cost of having 14 posts and crowns is too much for me. I ve heard of a permanent fixture called four-on-one. Is four-on-one a new procedure? Is it a safe and reasonable alternative to individual posts and crowns?

Dear user,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
I had gone through your query and understand your concerns.
Four -on-one is like dental implant, in this procedure four titanium are placed so that the bone will grow around and secure them in place,this procedure need only one or two visit a dentist,but in post and core there will be more visit need,
this procedure also expansive, but it is safe,
'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
Thanks.

Hello thank you for consulting with HCM
Four in one means a single post will be placed and will accommodate 4 crowns on it, it is not a new procedure but it is a safe procedure and you can go for it.
If you are not able to pay for expensive posts and crowns then you go for those which costs less, as the cost of crown depend on the material used, there are many options.
This four in one is also called as bridge placement, yes the cost will be less then the individual post. You can also visit some other dentist for more options those who are reasonable.
Hope it will help you.
