IMPLANTS ALL ON 4

Traditional removable dentures are one of the most common ways to address significant tooth loss; however, many patients experience discomfort and frustrating limitations while using them. Luckily, there’s a modern solution to replace missing teeth that, unlike traditional dentures, is permanent.

 

All-On-4 are a full-mouth restoration treatment on which a denture is fixed into the jawbone by four dental implants, replacing an entire arch of teeth.

This type of dental implant is an excellent option for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth, who want to have a new set of teeth to enjoy life as they deserve, being able to eat, speak and smile confidently again.
