All-on-4 and All-on-6: a whole jaw on implants
The technique restores every tooth in a jaw, resting on four or six implants. The prosthesis is fixed: it is not taken out at night and does not shift while you eat. This is the solution for a complete loss of teeth, or when there is no longer any point in keeping the remaining ones.
Who it suits
There are no teeth left in the jaw
The classic case for a fixed construction on implants.
The remaining teeth cannot be saved
Loose teeth with periodontitis that will have to be extracted in any case.
A removable denture will not stay in place
Especially in the lower jaw, where a denture has nothing to hold on to.
A fixed option is needed
You are not prepared to live with something that has to be taken out and cleaned separately.
How it works
CT scan and planning
The 3D scan shows where and at what angle the implants can be placed without bone grafting.
Preparation
Any teeth that need extracting are removed. Clearing up the mouth first is essential.
Placing the implants
Four or six implants are placed in a single visit, the rear ones at an angle so that they rest on denser bone.
Temporary prosthesis
A temporary fixed prosthesis is usually fitted within a few days — you leave with teeth.
Permanent prosthesis
A few months later, once the implants have integrated, you come back for the permanent construction.
What is worth knowing in advance
This means two trips
You receive the temporary prosthesis straight away, but the permanent one only after the implants have integrated.
Enough bone is needed
The technique is designed to avoid bone grafting, but a minimum volume is still required — the CT scan will show it.
Care is essential
A fixed prosthesis calls for a water flosser and regular check-ups, otherwise the gums around the implants suffer.
Smoking and general health conditions
They affect integration directly. The doctor has a duty to discuss this before surgery.
