ALL-ON-4 and ALL-ON-6 Dentures
Forget about your uncomfortable removable dentures – smile and eat confidently! Fixed dentures with the All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants are a great solution even in cases of long-term complete tooth loss. This innovative dental technology will make you feel like having your natural teeth back!
How does implantation work?
A dental implant is a titanium artificial root embedded into the bone. It replaces the lost tooth root perfectly: it provides a durable and fixed solution both aesthetically and functionally.
A dental implant consists of three parts: the implant itself, often referred to as the artificial root or screw, which is inserted into the bone; the visible part, the crown; and the abutment, which connects the implant to the crown. The abutment, like the implant, is also made of titanium.
The advantages of implants
One of the key advantages of dental implants is that they provide a long-term solution without compromise. They can be used for replacing a single tooth or multiple missing teeth.
Another advantage is that dental implants can last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
The All-on-4 or All-on-6 technology offers an immediate and fixed solution for complete tooth loss. With this innovative dental approach, 4 or 6 dental implants are placed at specific angles in the jawbone. This allows for an immediately loadable screw-retained full-arch prosthesis.
As the name suggests, the All-on-4 and All-on-6 systems rely on 4 or 6 dental implants to support a full 12-unit fixed bridge.
The implants for All-on-4 or All-on-6 prosthetics are positioned at precise angles in the jawbone. This technique avoids the need for bone grafting procedures, even in cases of significant bone loss and low bone density.
The advantages of All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant-supported prosthetics
- There is no need for bone grafting procedures before implantation.
- It’s a cost-effective solution, as only 4 or 6 implants per jaw are sufficient for a full-arch restoration.
- Fixed prosthetics can be placed immediately after implant surgery, eliminating the need for removable dentures during the healing period.
- It offers comfortable and stable restoration, even for long-standing cases of tooth loss.
Which option is right for me?
As indicated by the name, the All-on-4 system requires only 4 screws to be inserted into the jawbone. In contrast, All-on-6 dentures need 6 screws.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6 in practice?
In the case of All-on-4 restorations, four dental implants are placed at specific angles. After the healing period, these implants securely anchor the entire prosthetic restoration. For these four implants to provide sufficient stability, they must be of a larger size.
In cases where bone loss is so advanced that there is insufficient bone quantity for the placement of implants with the proper thickness and length, smaller screws need to be used during the implant procedure. In this case, two additional dental implants are placed to ensure stability.
All-on-4 fixed full-arch implant dentures
The All-on-4 restoration is not only the most functional but also the most aesthetic solution for complete or nearly complete tooth loss.
Thanks to the special angled placement of the dental implants, no bone grafting is needed. This makes both the surgery and the recovery process faster and more efficient.
All-on-6: complete rehabilitation with fixed, screw-retained dentures
The All-on-6 restoration is an ideal solution even for long-standing complete tooth loss, including cases with advanced bone loss. This innovative dental technique restores full chewing function and allows you to permanently say goodbye to removable dentures. With all-on-6 dentures, you will feel like you have regained your natural teeth.
Thanks to the screw-retained design, the connection between the denture and the implants is detachable, ensuring easy long-term maintenance and repairs.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 – fixed denture on implants
The All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant solutions can restore teeth lost due to advanced periodontitis, also known as gum disease.
Despite severe bone loss, our patient received a fixed, stable denture with the All-on-4 solution for the upper jaw and the All-on-6 solution for the lower jaw, regaining the joy of chewing once again.
The procedure for All-on-4 and All-on-6 restorations
- Diagnosis and developing a treatment plan
The All-on-4 or All-on-6 treatment always begins with a consultation with an oral surgeon. During the consultation, a thorough oral examination is conducted, along with a 3D CT scan. This imaging is essential for any implant procedure, providing the surgeon with a comprehensive understanding of the available bone structure. - Surgery – implant placement
During the All-on-4 or All-on-6 procedure, four or six implants are placed simultaneously into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. Following the placement, an impression is taken to design the temporary prosthesis. The temporary fixed denture, which is screw-retained, is ready five to eight business days after the surgery, eliminating the need for a removable denture. - Check-ups and adjustments
The temporary All-on-4 or All-on-6 restoration is checked by the dentist one month after placement. Adjustments may be made if necessary to ensure the patient’s comfort during the healing period. - Healing period – osseointegration and final prosthesis
The healing time required for the implants to integrate with the bone varies but typically takes around four months. Once healing is complete, the implants can support the final prosthesis. Either the temporary denture is finalised, or a new permanent denture is fabricated based on its design, a process that takes just a few business days.
ALL-ON-4 COMPLETE RESTORATION
Diagnosis and recommended treatment
The oral examination and 3-dimensional CT scan taken on site confirmed that the existing teeth could not be preserved, so the oral surgeon decided to extract them and recommended the All-on-4 solution to our patient, i.e. the placement of 4 implants in the lower and upper jawbones, on which a fixed, fixed denture can be placed after healing.
How did the procedure take place?
All-on-4 dentures are a stable, fixed solution even in the case of complete tooth loss. The essence of the technology is that the oral surgeon places four implants in both jawbones at a special angle, thus ensuring the fixed fixation of the complete denture. Thanks to the placement at a special angle, bone grafting can be avoided, so the surgery itself and the healing are faster. And the result speaks for itself, not only functionally, but also aesthetically outstanding.
ALL-ON-6 COMPLETE RESTORATION
All-on-6 dentures can be an ideal solution for complete tooth loss that has been present for years, even if bone loss is in an advanced stage. With this innovative dental solution, you can restore full chewing ability, as if you were getting your own teeth back, and forget about removable dentures forever.
Thanks to the screw-on fixation, the connection between the denture and the implant can be broken, thus ensuring long-term repairability.
What can I do to make my implant restoration last longer?
As a patient, it is crucial to follow your dentist’s instructions and advice. It’s key to properly and carefully maintain your implant-supported restoration, attend scheduled check-ups, and avoid smoking. If the implant-supported restoration is made with high-quality materials, the surgery is performed by expert hands, and you clean your dentures diligently, your implant restoration can last a lifetime.
