What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 Dental Implants use four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-4 implants are securely fixed in the mouth, providing increased stability, function, and a natural appearance. This efficient approach bypasses the need for individual implants for each missing tooth, offering a streamlined solution for full arch replacement.
Types of Dental Implants
There are several types of dental implants, including:
Single-Tooth Implant
Designed for replacing a single missing tooth, single-tooth implants are the most common type of implant.
Multiple-Tooth Implants
For replacing multiple teeth, multiple-tooth implants are used to create a natural-looking smile.
Full-Arch Implants
For replacing an entire arch of teeth, full-arch implants are used to create a permanent and natural-looking smile.
All-On-4 Implants
A variation of full-arch implants, all-on-4 implants use four implants to support a full arch of teeth.
