What are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 dental implants are a full-arch restoration solution that uses four implants to support a fixed prosthetic bridge. This innovative approach eliminates the need for individual implants for each missing tooth, making it a cost-effective and efficient option.

The process involves placing two implants at the front of the jaw and two at an angle in the back to maximize support and stability. These implants act as anchors for a custom-made prosthetic bridge, which restores the appearance and functionality of your teeth.
