“Are all on four implants removable?”
I am a 54 year old female. I want to know if all on four implants are removable?

If 4 implants, I would recommend Removable. With 5 or more implants, can be fixed with Prosthesis.
They can be removable or fixed in place.
If you are referring to the denture being removable, the answer is, it depends. The majority of cases of all on 4, the prosthesis is screw retained. You clean underneath it with pipe cleaners, Superfloss, and a Water Pik. You could have 4 implants placed and the denture retained with locators, which is a removable appliance.

no
No, only by a dentist.
Technically yes. Your dentist will remove it to clean the implants and service it if needed.
They are removable, but only by the Doctor. If you should break or chip a tooth, the prosthesis can be taken out and sent to the lab for repair. This is a simple fairly quick procedure
Hi,
All on 4 implants are not removable...traditionally. But if a patient wants the ability to remove the denture because they want to keep it clean, that would be an option we offer. It would also be less money.

No, all on 4 or 6 implants are permanent; they don't come out.
Generally they are not, although dental professionals can do so with tools to loosen the connector screws.
Generally, an all on four (or more) implant configuration refers to a prosthesis that is not removable by the patient, but is (with some work) removable by the doctor. You can have 4 implants supporting a removable (by the patient) denture. But that is never referred to as an "all on four" prosthesis.
I hope this helps.

All on four implants are fixed in place permanently. They can only be removed by a dentist.
No, it is fixed.
They are fixed but once every year or every six months your doctor would remove to clean and make sure everything is the way it should be.
No it is fixed
The actual dental implant (which is the titanium piece that is surgically placed into your jaw) should never be removable. However there are restorations that can be placed on the implants that may or may not be removable.
