The all on four denture system is a very efficient way to indicate a complete denture over implants, with the need of only four implants placed in the maxillary or mandibular bone, and will be the pillars to support the denture.
The implants are placed within the maxillary or mandibular bone in one surgical procedure, and are given from four to six months’ time to fuse into the surrounding bone in a process called Osseo integration.
These implants are given time to fuse into the surrounding jawbone via a process called osseointegration. This process typically takes four to six months.
Once the implant areas have healed and the implants are stable, the final dentures or bridges can then be installed, using different attachement systems like special screws on the abutments locked to the implants.
