All-on-4 Dental Implant Surgery
During the all-on-4 implant surgery, we’ll surgically insert four posts made out of titanium alloy through the gums and into the jawbone. These titanium posts then act as anchors for the permanent denture we’ll place later.
One of the main benefits of all-on-four dental implants is that you’re able to replace an entire arch of teeth in one appointment. This means that you won’t have to experience any embarrassment over missing teeth. Instead, you’ll be able to enjoy all-on-four dental implants that look and feel like your own natural teeth.
