All-on-4 Implant involves only 4 strategically placed implants. All of them are highly angled and surgically implanted in the front part of the jawbone, where there is more bone density. The angling gives complete dentures secure support. In essence, the patient gets a nearly full complement of teeth, but needs only four implants.
