All-on-4® is a proven solution for missing teeth. Not only is it minimally invasive, but it is a popular alternative to traditional implants that many people seem to prefer. Whether someone has a few missing teeth or requires a whole new set, this is an option that could work for them. This approach requires titanium posts that serve as an anchor for prosthetic teeth, ensuring that the replacement teeth stay in place and look as natural as possible. If someone has a few or several missing teeth, then this may be the alternative method they have been searching for.
