All-on-4 - Dental Implants Net

Large bone grafting and bone augmentation for implant placement impose a heavy burden on patients with multiple tooth defects. In such cases, the "All-on-4" treatment approach may be available. In this method, four required minimum implants are placed into the jawbone with sufficient bone quantity in a balanced manner to firmly support the connected artificial teeth.

What is "All-on-4"?
<Features of "All-on-4">
- No need to increase the bone.
- As only 4 implants are used, treatment cost can be reduced.
- A temporary restoration can be placed on the day of surgery.
