All-on-4 / All-on-6 Implant Treatment: A Brand New Beginning with Fixed Teeth
Tooth loss is a problem that seriously impacts quality of life in terms of aesthetics and function. Today, traditional prosthetic methods are being replaced by much more comfortable and permanent solutions. Among these solutions, All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant treatments stand out, offering individuals with missing teeth the opportunity to achieve permanent and aesthetically pleasing dentures.
What are All-on-4 and All-on-6?
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are advanced implantology methods that involve the placement of fixed prosthetic teeth on four or six implants placed in the upper or lower jaw in cases of complete edentulism. This system allows patients to have permanent temporary teeth on the same day with a single surgical procedure. It is an ideal option, especially for patients experiencing bone loss and those who do not wish to undergo bone grafting.
What are the Advantages?
- Fixed teeth in a single visit: All-on-4 and All-on-6 treatments provide edentulous patients with temporary fixed teeth on the same day.
- Reduces the need for bone grafts: Angled posterior implants provide fixation without contacting the sinus or nerve areas.
- Time and cost savings: Because a fixed prosthesis can be constructed with fewer implants, it is completed in a shorter time and offers a budget advantage.
- Aesthetics and function: An aesthetically pleasing smile and chewing function are achieved with natural-looking teeth.
All-on-4 or All-on-6?
Treatment planning is personalized. Factors such as jawbone density and general health determine whether a 4- or 6-implant system is preferred. All-on-6 treatment can increase the stability of the prosthesis by providing greater implant support. However, in some cases, the All-on-4 system may be a sufficient solution.
Who is Suitable for?
- Individuals experiencing complete edentulism
- Patients who have used dentures for a long time and are looking for a fixed solution
- Persons with limited bone volume who do not wish to undergo bone grafting
- Patients who want to quickly address their aesthetic concerns
Each patient's needs are different; Therefore, these advanced implant solutions should be planned with a personalized assessment. Nowadays, achieving stable, natural, and functional teeth is much easier than previously thought.
