What is All on 4s?
All On 4s is a method of using four strategically placed implants to support restorative dentalwork throughout the upper or lower jaw.
This solution is for patients with significant tooth loss, or those requiring full-arch rehabilitation.
More About All On 4s
For patients with significant tooth-loss, All On 4s is a more efficient alternative to individual implants for each tooth root.
First, a prosthodontist will determine the best locations in the jaw for optimal support. Then, on the day of treatment, they’ll surgically place the four dental implants, and attach temporary prosthetic teeth. Several months later, the prosthetics will be replaced with more permanent replacement teeth.
While dental implants themselves are designed to be a permanent solution, the prosthetic attached to them may require maintenance or replacement.
Am I a Candidate for All on 4s?
Your prosthodontist may prescribe All on 4s to you if you:
