What is it?
It gives a fixed, non-removable set of teeth on a small number of implants for toothless or failing jaws.
Angling the back implants often reduces the need for bone grafting.

Frequently asked questions
All-on-4 or All-on-6?
It depends on your bone volume, bite and jaw size, assessed with a CT scan. More implants spread the chewing load more widely.
Can I eat normally with the temporary bridge?
Soft foods are recommended during healing to protect the implants. After the final bridge most patients eat normally.
Is it removable?
No, the bridge is fixed to the implants and can only be removed by your dentist for maintenance.
