How Do All on 4 Dental Implants Work?
All On 4 dental implants utilise the strongest parts of the jawbone to support a full arch of teeth. This is achieved by strategically placing four dental implants in each arch at an angle rather than vertically. Placing the implants at an angle reduces the jawbone's need for vertical support. It makes this method suitable for people with low bone density.
