The city of Auckland, located in New Zealand is a beautiful locale full of culture and various activities to partake in at your leisure.
The entire country is very wealthy, which is evident in the large urban cityscapes spanning the whole country, juxtaposed with overwhelming nature. With a population of 4.5 million and counting, there are bound to be various people of differing financial status, including some who may not have the luxury to be able to afford expensive dental restoration treatments, such as the All-on-4® treatment concept by Nobel Biocare.
What Is the All-on-4® treatment concept?
The All-on-4® treatment concept is a dental procedure that involves inserting four titanium implants into the bottom or top jawbone, allowing for replacement teeth to be fitted securely into the sockets.
The brand new teeth (fixed bridge) replicate the look and feel of natural teeth while also keeping your bone structure in place, providing you with a wholesome smile.
The method uses porcelain or composite ceramic crowns cemented to the framework of the fixed bridge.
