All on 4 and All on 6

ALL on 4: the ALL on 4 technique is applied in order to provide effective and reliable restoration treatment to edentulous patients using just four dental implants with which to support a full arch dental prosthesis with immediate loading.

ALL on 6: In this technique, six implants are implemented, in addition to six abutments, which ensure increased passivity of the prosthetic components equal to the future implant prosthesis, allowing the patient to leave our clinic with provisional teeth the same day as the six implants are implemented.

In the All on 6 technique, the implants differ from placing six implants in the entire arch as they are strategically inclined in order to achieve prosthetic rehabilitation the same day of surgery.

The ALL on 4 and ALL on 6 techniques provide the patient with:

Less expense and more comfort (in one appointment the patient leaves with the implant plus the prosthesis attached).
With this technique, in one session we can immediately rehabilitate entire arches .
Immediate placement of the prosthesis during the same session in which the implants are inserted.
The goal is to replace all the teeth in an arch with the fewest number of implants possible.
During the appointment the implants and the prosthesis are implemented but the prosthesis is fixed yet provisional. As time passes and the tissues heal, the provisional prosthesis will be replaced by a definitive one.

Advantages of ALL on 4 and ALL on 6

Quick improvement in the quality of life of the patient.
Much shorter treatment times.
Although the quality or quantity of bone may not be sufficient in certain areas, we can achieve the necessary stability through fewer numbers of implants but increased length and specific angulation of same as ALL on 4 and ALL on 6 implants are farther away from the roots, thereby taking advantage of greater surface contact with the bone.
They offer the patient an immediate improvement both aesthetically and functionally (speech and mastication).
This treatment also reduces treatment time and number of clinic appointments.

FAQs about All on 4 and All on 6

Who is this treatment indicated for?

It is indicated for patients with complete or advanced tooth loss who want a fixed and functional solution without removable prostheses (such as conventional dentures). It is also suitable if there is sufficient bone or when alternative techniques such as tilted implants can be used.

Is it painful to get All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and, if the patient wishes, conscious sedation. There is no pain during the surgery, and any possible discomfort afterwards is controlled with medication prescribed by the specialist.

How long does the treatment take?

The complete procedure usually ranges from the planning phase (with 3D radiological studies) to the placement of a provisional fixed prosthesis on the same day or within a few days. The final prosthesis is placed after the healing and adaptation period.

Can I eat on the same day as the surgery?

In many cases, a provisional prosthesis is provided on the same day, allowing patients to chew soft foods and quickly regain function, always following the instructions of the clinical team.

Are All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants permanent?

The implants are designed to last for many years or even a lifetime with proper maintenance. The prostheses may require adjustments, check-ups, or replacements over time depending on wear and hygiene.
