How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Work?

Dental implants come with benefits that you can’t get from traditional bridges and dentures. This is because dental implants replace the roots of the missing teeth, allowing for additional stability and the prevention of bone loss. To make a good candidate for dental implants, you must have a strong enough jawbone to support replacement teeth. However, all-on-4 dental implants use four strategically placed dental implants to provide maximum support. The implants are placed in the thickest areas of the jawbone at precise angles to minimize the need for patients to undergo bone grafting. After your dental implants are placed, abutments are attached and used to secure your denture into place.
