Brief Description	"All-On-4" style screw in bridge, but may require more implants to prevent the Zirconia from fracturing. This is a very strong solid porcelain material but it can be difficult to repair if it fractures. Teeth may look less life-like due to the opacity of Zirconia.	"All-On-4" style screw in bridge with a titanium or Zirconia bar with individual crowns cemented to it for teeth. "Gum Tissue" is a pink resin-type material used to cover the bar. The teeth can be characterized for excellent esthetics, and they are easy to replace at most dental offices if a crown fractures.	Screw in bridge that is the smallest and thinnest available.
