After suffering for years, she came to Dr. Krakora to learn about dental implants. She decided to undergo All-on-4 surgery and received a beautiful new set of permanent upper teeth in a matter of months.Her new smile will last her whole life. It only took 4 implants, she didn’t have to undergo a bone graft procedure, and her recovery time was fast and comfortable. Now Candice is back doing all the things she loves, and especially spreading her contagious smile.We know that embarking on a full arch restoration can be intimidating, so we want to give you a detailed look at the journey of an All-on-4 patient in our office.
