This remarkable technique requires only four implants in either the upper or lower jaw to support all replacement teeth for a dental arch. All-on-4®* typically involves only one surgery to place all the implants. This not only avoids the need for additional bone grafting procedures, but provides the instant gratification to the patient of receiving a full set of temporary teeth immediately.
As a permanent fixed replacement for all the teeth, All-on-4 dental implants achieve unprecedented results with a minimal number of dental implants and surgical procedures. Once post-surgical healing is complete and the All-on-4 dental implants have fully integrated with your jawbone, the temporary bridge is permanently replaced by your customized final bridge. This makes the procedure both an appealing and cost-effective solution for permanently replacing a full set of teeth. These new replacement teeth are completely secure and stable, as well as function in a similar fashion as natural teeth.
