🦷 What Is the All-on-Four Technique?
The All-on-Four technique is a modern implant procedure designed for edentulous patients, involving the placement of four implants into the jawbone to support a complete fixed prosthesis.
✔ Fewer Surgical Procedures: Compared to traditional implant methods, it requires fewer surgeries.
✔ Immediate Prosthesis: Patients can receive a temporary dental prosthesis on the same day.
✔ Efficient Bone Use: Implants are placed without the need for extensive surgeries, even in cases of bone loss.
