All-on-4 implants reviewed
All on 4 implants are a new product from dental implant manufacturer Nobel Biocare. It allows for a full bridge of teeth to be placed on 4 dental implants. In addition an immediately loaded full arch prosthetis is then placed on the implants. Larger implants are placed at an angle in the jaw, this provides a bigger anchor for the dental bridge and increases the amount of implant that can fuse with the jaw bone, thus enabling four implants to support a full bridge. The advantages of the “All-on-4″ technique include: It is cheaper than having a full compliment of dental implants, or even 8 or 10 implants supporting a dental bridge, fitted. The procedure allows for immediate loading meaning a … Continue reading

It is vital to have a good quality dentist who will spot this before operating. See http://worldental.org/teeth/advantages-dental-implants/7429/ for the full article
