All-on-4 / All-on-6 Dental Implants

About the treatment

All-on-4 and All-on-6 are solutions for patients who have lost all or almost all of the teeth in one jaw. A full arch of fixed teeth is supported by just four or six implants.

After detailed planning, the implants are placed in strategic positions and, in many cases, the patient receives fixed temporary teeth on the same day. The final restoration is fitted after the healing period.

Benefits

• Fixed teeth instead of a removable denture
• Fewer implants for a full arch
• Often temporary teeth on the same day
• Restored chewing and self-confidence

How the treatment works

1. A consultation, X-rays and detailed planning.
2. Placement of four or six implants and, when needed, removal of the remaining teeth.
3. Fixed temporary teeth, in many cases on the same day.
4. The final restoration after the healing period.

How long it takes

The procedure is usually carried out within one day. The final restoration is fitted after the healing period, usually after 3–6 months.

Who it is for

Patients who have lost all or almost all of the teeth in one jaw, who wear a removable denture and would like fixed teeth. Suitability is assessed at the consultation, based on the condition of the bone and your general health.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

The difference is the number of implants supporting the arch. The choice depends on the amount and quality of bone and is decided after the examinations.

Will I have teeth from the first day?

In many cases yes, fixed temporary teeth are fitted. This depends on how stable the implants are when they are placed.

How do I clean fixed teeth on implants?

With a toothbrush, interdental brushes and, if recommended, a water flosser. Check-ups and professional cleaning are important for the lifespan of the restoration.
