“All-on-4” is a dental implant technique used to support a full arch of fixed replacement teeth. This technique is designed to provide a stable and permanent solution for people who have lost most or all of their teeth.
The “All-on-4” technique uses four dental implants to support a full arch of teeth. Two of the implants are placed in the front of the jawbone, while two are placed at an angle in the back of the jawbone. The angled placement allows for greater stability and support for the implant-supported teeth.
Once the implants are placed, a customized dental bridge is attached to them. The bridge is made of high-quality materials that are durable, long-lasting, and natural-looking. The result is a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing set of teeth that can restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
This technique is often recommended for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury. It is also suitable for people who are experiencing discomfort or embarrassment due to their dentures or partial dentures.
It’s important to note that not all patients are suitable candidates for the “All-on-4” technique. Your dentist or oral surgeon will evaluate your oral health, jawbone density, and other factors to determine if this technique is right for you.
