Procedure Overview
Your journey begins with advanced 3D imaging to meticulously assess your jaw anatomy and identify the optimal locations for implant placement. The All-on-4 procedure entails a single surgical session where four titanium implants are inserted at calculated angles to ensure maximum bone integration. A temporary prosthetic is affixed right away to facilitate normal function during the healing phase. Once osseointegration is achieved, your custom final restoration is securely placed for enduring durability.
