If you are embarrassed by your smile due to damaged or missing teeth, the All-on-Four dental implants technique may be the right treatment for you. We use as few as four strategically placed dental implants to secure a permanent cosmetic denture for a functional and stable smile. This method optimizes healthy bone structure to replace a full arch or set of missing teeth.
The All-On-4 technique makes it possible for patients with a compromised bone structure to receive dental implants without the need for extensive bone grafting. With the four small titanium dental implants, a custom-designed denture is secured, restoring a patient’s confidence, oral health, and quality of life.
This unique treatment approach can bring back full function without the need for daily maintenance, dietary restriction and garbled speech that often accompany traditional dentures. Our dentist in Plano, TX provides All-on-Four Implant Dentures to patients seeking to upgrade from traditional dentures.
