Restoring Smiles With All-On-Four Implants
It can be a relief to receive a denture, as it gives you back your complete smile after tooth loss.

At our Santa Rosa, CA practice, we have the ability to place permanent dentures that are held in position with All-On-Four dental implants. The All-On-Four implant procedure makes it possible to permanently secure larger restorations, including dentures. Because of this, we can rely on a conservative number of implants while making significant improvements to your oral health, appearance, and dental function. (more…)
