All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure
The All-on-4 procedure is a flexible solution for patients with missing teeth. They can enjoy having their missing teeth fully replaced with only four dental implants for each jaw. Its immediate loading ability also makes treatment flow more efficient for shorter treatment times and improved patient satisfaction.
The key benefits of the All-on-4 Procedure are as follows:
- Minimally invasive surgery – this procedure allows patients with minimum bone volume to opt for dental implant procedure without going through bone grafting procedure
- Shortened treatment time – it is possible to go from tooth loss to having functional and esthetic teeth in one treatment session
-
Greater patient comfort – The surgery is generally patient friendly with minimized surgical trauma. Patients can have teeth immediately and resume their normal activities.
In summary, All-on-4 Procedure provides a clinical solution that maximizes the use of available bone while giving comprehensive and highly aesthetic prosthetics for the patient as a result.
