Material Deep Dive
1 Zirconia
Zirconia (zirconium oxide) is one of the most popular and highly recommended materials for All On 4 restorations.
Advantages
Easy to clean and maintain- Highly aesthetic, natural-looking
finish
- Stain-resistant and biocompatible
- Non-reactive with gums and oral
tissues
- Easy to clean and maintain
Consideration
Some patients notice a faint “clicking”
sound when zirconia teeth contact each other, especially in full
zirconia-to-zirconia cases. However, this is generally minor and not a
concern for most individuals.
2 Hybrid Materials (PEEK, Trilor, Nano-Ceramics, etc.)
A balanced blend: Hybrid prosthetics combine **ceramic and polymer technology** to optimize strength, comfort, and shock absorption for a more natural feel.
Advantages
- Lightweight and extremely
comfortable
- Natural sound and feel when chewing
- Shock-absorbent and gentle on
opposing teeth
Consideration
- Higher cost than acrylic or PMMA
- Less durable than zirconia over the long
term
- May not be ideal for patients with
strong bite forces
Best for:
Patients prioritizing comfort, natural aesthetics, and shock absorption over maximum hardness and durability.
3 Acrylic / PMMA(Polymethyl Methacrylate)
Acrylic, also known as PMMA, is often used for transitional bridges or budget-conscious All On 4 restorations.
Advantages
- Cost-effective and lightweight
- Easy to adjust and repair
Consideration
- Least durable — prone to chipping or
cracking
- Porous surface can absorb stains and
odors over time
- Shorter lifespan compared to other
materials
Best for:
Temporary or transitional prostheses during the healing phase before your final restoration.
