Posts tagged “maxilla”

I recently visited two separate dentist, both experienced in implant dentistry. The first told me that the relatively new all on 4 methodology was a bad idea. He recommended a simple ridge augmentation procedure for my maxilla, considering that ridge reconstruction and the placing on multiple implants would be very expensive. The second dentist (a perodontist), after doing a complete scan explained that the all on 4 technique could work well with me, especially if he places a fifth implant in the maxilla. In short I am a good candidate for the procedure. As you can see, I have received two quite different professional opinions. I am now quite confused and looking for any third party advice that I can get. Can you give me your insight.
