Overview
Careful assessment and treatment planning are important parts of the All-On-4 Plus® process. Before treatment is recommended, your clinician conducts a comprehensive clinical assessment, which may include three-dimensional CBCT imaging and a review of your oral health and medical history.
Unlike traditional two-dimensional dental X-rays, CBCT imaging provides three-dimensional views of the jaw and surrounding structures. This additional information assists your clinician when assessing your anatomy and planning implant treatment.
CBCT imaging allows your clinician to assess factors such as available bone, jaw anatomy and other structures relevant to implant planning. The information gathered forms part of the overall clinical assessment and treatment planning process for your individual circumstances.
Treatment recommendations are based on your comprehensive clinical assessment. Your clinician will use the information collected during your consultation, including CBCT imaging where appropriate, to develop an individual treatment plan.
