All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants are a modern method of restoring an entire dental arch with a fixed prosthesis supported by 4 or 6 strategically placed dental implants.
Unlike traditional implants, this technique allows, in many cases, a temporary fixed bridge to be fitted immediately after the implants are placed.
This way, you are never left without teeth during the healing period and you can enjoy aesthetic and functional comfort right from the first stage of treatment.
The All-on-4 dental implant is a modern technique in which the entire dental arch is restored with a fixed bridge supported by just 4 strategically placed dental implants. This solution is designed for patients who have lost most of their teeth and offers a stable, aesthetic alternative to removable dentures.
The All-on-6 dental implant is a method in which the entire dental arch is restored with a fixed bridge supported by 6 dental implants placed in strategic positions. This technique offers increased stability and is recommended for patients who have enough bone tissue to support the implants.
Step 1: Initial consultation
The dentist will examine your mouth and X-rays, and then use a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanner to obtain a three-dimensional image.
The scanned images will be processed by specialised software to determine where the implants should be placed.
Step 2: Implant placement
If there are teeth where the implant is to be placed, they will need to be extracted beforehand.
But don’t worry. You will be given anaesthesia so you don’t feel pain or discomfort during the procedure.
First, the dentist will place the implants at the planned sites. Usually 6 implants are chosen for the maxilla (upper jaw) and 4 implants for the mandible (lower jaw), inserted at a precise angle to provide maximum stability. So you will not feel any discomfort when chewing or speaking. Everything will feel natural.
Step 3: Fitting the temporary bridge
Then, a few hours later, your temporary prosthesis will be fitted and you will go home with a perfect smile, with no missing teeth.
Step 4: Osseointegration
A period of time is needed for the bony connective tissue to develop and integrate the implants into the bone. This can take several months.
All you need to do at this stage is be patient and take care of your oral hygiene!
Step 5: Fitting the final bridge
After complete healing, usually 4-6 months, you need to return to the dentist so that the final teeth can be fitted.
At the Dr. Radu Dumitru Clinic we offer fair and transparent prices, so that you know from the start what investment is needed to restore your teeth.
All-on-4 or All-on-6 dental implants provide a fixed, stable, natural-looking restoration that feels like your own teeth.
A removable denture, on the other hand, has to be taken out for cleaning, can slip while you chew and does not stop bone loss. The main difference lies in comfort, functionality and durability: fixed implants give you back everyday confidence, whereas a removable denture remains only a temporary solution.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, in many cases the dentist can fit a temporary fixed bridge on the very day the implants are placed, so that you are not left without teeth during the healing period.
No, the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. You may feel slight discomfort after the procedure, but this is controlled with medication recommended by the dentist.
With proper hygiene and regular dental visits, dental implants can last a lifetime, while the fixed bridge on top has a lifespan of 10–15 years or more, depending on the materials used and maintenance.
Yes, but additional procedures, such as bone grafting, may be needed to provide the necessary support for the implants. The dentist will determine the exact plan that suits you after the investigations.
They are cleaned daily, just like natural teeth: regular brushing, a water flosser, special dental floss and regular check-ups at the dentist.
As a rule, All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants are placed in a single session, which can last a few hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
