All on 4 restoration is a fixed hybrid bridge replacing all teeth upper or lower on 4 strategically placed implants.
The hybrid bridge is made of acrylic or porcelain teeth over a titanium bar surrounded by an acrylic base which is attached by implant screws to the 4 implants. The dental implants are placed after all the teeth upper or lower are extracted. The all on 4 implants may or may not be placed at the extraction appointment depending on what the surgeon decides. If the decision is to place the implants at the extraction appointment and to load the implants immediately, an immediate temporary hybrid bridge will be placed, if not an immediate denture will be placed to let bone heal. After the bone around the implants are healed a permanent hybrid bridge will be made.
The All on 4 Hybrid Bridge procedure is a very precise procedure and done properly will provide a very aesthetic fixed full upper or lower tooth restoration for many years of service.
