1. What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are a full-arch replacement technique using four implants.
This innovative method provides a full set of fixed teeth supported by just four strategically placed implants, typically completed in one day. Two implants are placed vertically at the front of the jaw, and two are angled at the back, maximizing existing bone and often avoiding the need for bone grafting.
This technique is ideal for patients with significant tooth loss or decay, offering a faster, less invasive alternative to traditional implants.
