What are All on 4 Implants?
The All on 4 Implant system involves replacing missing teeth in the entire jaw with a permanent set of teeth with fixed bridges.
It involves applying fixed bridges in the jaw based on four titanium implants as they offer maximum stability because of their biocompatible properties.
Thus, the jaw bone adheres to the surface itself, allowing the implants to become one with the bone.
Who Requires All on 4 Implants?
All on 4 implants may be the ideal solution for those who are edentulous, or have lost teeth most of the teeth in either of or both the jaws. The traditional approach to dental implants may require jawbone grafting which is not a viable option for all the patients but all on 4 implants do not necessarily require jawbone grafting.

Traditional Dental Implants
A traditional dental implant involves an artificial tooth root placed in the jawbone to mount replacement teeth onto them.
Types of Dental Implants
- Endosteal Implants: These are surgically implanted into the jawbone and when the dental implant gets connected to the gum tissues, an artificial tooth is attached to it.
- Subperiosteal Implants: These are placed on top of the jaw with a metal frame and when the frame is fixed to the jawbone, posts attached to the metal frame appear protruding through the gums. These posts are used to hold the artificial teeth onto them.
