The implants are placed towards the front of the mouth as this is where the jawbone is naturally thicker and stronger. By utilising the jawbone, the need for bone grafting is minimised. Two of the implants are placed vertically right at the front of the arch, with the other two being placed either side. These are tilted backwards at a 45° angle which enables Dr Poulos to use longer implant posts, providing greater integration with the jawbone. Once the implants have fully healed, they will create a strong and stable foundation that can easily support a complete arch of teeth.In some cases that demand additional treatment, the same full-arch restoration can be supported on six implants. Ask Dr Poulos if this process is appropriate for you.
