All On 4/6 Implant

All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant treatments are practical and effective implant methods used to place permanent dentures on edentulous jaws. In these treatments, an entire jaw denture is fixed onto just 4 or 6 implants, thus providing a comprehensive set of teeth using fewer implants. This method, which is particularly suitable for completely edentulous patients, offers an aesthetic and functional solution.

How is All-on-4 / All-on-6 Implant Treatment Performed?

Examination and Planning: The dentist evaluates the patient’s jawbone structure and overall oral health. Jawbone density and thickness determine how many implants will be used.
Implant Placement: On the day of the procedure, 4 or 6 implants are placed in the strongest areas of the jawbone. In the All-on-4 technique, the rear two implants are usually placed at a slight angle; this helps to better support the bone.
Temporary Prosthesis Placement: After the implants are placed, a temporary prosthesis is applied to the patient. This allows the patient to have a functional set of teeth during treatment.
Permanent Prosthesis Placement: After a healing period of approximately 3-6 months, a permanent dental prosthesis is fixed to the jawbone that has fused with the implants.

Advantages of All-on-4 and All-on-6 Implant Treatment

Fewer Implants, Less Surgery: A full jaw prosthesis is provided using only 4 or 6 implants, which reduces the surgical process.
Fast Recovery and Immediate Function: Temporary prostheses can be fitted shortly after the implants are placed, allowing the patient to quickly return to their normal life.
May Not Require Bone Grafting: All-on-4/6 methods reduce the need for bone grafting even in patients with severe bone loss, thanks to angled implants.
Durable and Strong: Permanent prostheses are durable and support chewing and speaking functions.
Aesthetic and Comfortable: Fixed prostheses look like natural teeth and do not cause discomfort like removable prostheses.

Who is All-on-4 / All-on-6 Suitable For?

People who are completely toothless or need to have their teeth extracted.
Those whose jawbone structure is capable of supporting implants.
Patients with partial bone loss who do not want grafting.
Individuals seeking a solution in a shorter time compared to traditional implant treatment.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant treatments are a strong option for patients seeking both an aesthetic and functional set of teeth. These permanent, comfortable, and reliable methods significantly improve quality of life, especially for those without teeth.
