All-On-Four/Teeth-in-a-Day

Instead of single implants replacing individual missing teeth, four or five implants are spaced throughout the arch and immediately loaded with a provisional fixed prosthesis. While conventional removable dentures and bone grafting with multiple implants are other options, the latter can take several years and has commensurate high costs. Morever, a number of studies have shown that wearing conventional removable dentures can reduce patients’ quality of life, causing pain and areas of discomfort, chewing and speaking difficulties, slippage, reduced occlusal force, and poor oral sensation.
