Posted on 22/05/2009 in Dental Supplier News Nobel Biocare's All-on-4 allows patients to receive a number of implants and a set of replacement teeth usually in one appointment.
Based on the company's Immediate Function capability, the procedure's main benefit is how quickly dentures can be replaced.
The technique was pioneered in Europe and success rates are higher than more traditional methods.
Advantages patients receive include saving time and money, receiving immediate results, a greater quality of life and renewed self-confidence.
The company commented: "If you want to get your replacement done in only one visit, then implant solutions is the right choice for you."
A recent survey by Nobel Biocare found around 50 per cent of adults have at least one tooth missing, with periodontal disease and aging being the main causes of the problem.
The implant manufacturer was keen to emphasise that replacing broken or missing teeth has more than only cosmetic value.
A missing canine or molar can cause bone loss, alterations to jaw structure, face shape change and influence eating habits.Other news stories from 22/05/2009
