All-on 4 & 6

The All on 4 and the All on 6 are innovative techniques allowing to completely redo the mouth of patients suffering from complete or significant edentulism and to carry out a replacement of the entire teeth in one or both dental arches. Their name comes from the placement of only 4 or 6 implants per jaw to place a definitive, fixed prosthesis. The All on 4 and the All-on-6 offer very satisfactory aesthetic and functional results. These solutions rely on dental implants to replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. The All-on 4 technique is generally used for the mandible (lower jaw), while All-on-6 is recommended for the upper jaw.

This concept and technique are revolutionary for patients who previously would have had to wear removable dental prostheses. Indeed the great interest with the All on 4 or 6 is to offer for one jaw, or both, with only 4 dental implants (or 6) a fixed dental prosthesis, which will have the same function and aesthetics as normal teeth.

These techniques require skill and experience on the part of the dental surgeon. It is also necessary for the clinic to have all the most recent technologies.

Key points

• All on 4 and all on 6 are innovative techniques for replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw using only 4 dental implants (or 6) and fixed prostheses.
• The quality of the jaw bone and the choice of dental implant material are crucial to the success of the treatment.
• The dental surgeon and the implantologist play a determining role in guaranteeing appropriate treatment and an optimal aesthetic and functional result.
• Skills and experience are fundamental on the part of the dental team
• The clinic’s equipment will guarantee rapid treatment, with great safety and greater comfort for the patient.
• Bucharest British Dental Place is a clinic specializing in this type of technique
• These procedures are certainly impressive, but painless for the patient. We offer local anesthesia

Understanding All on 4 and All on 6

The All on 4 technique is a solution which consists of using 4 dental implants to support a complete and fixed dental prosthesis. The implants are strategically placed in the jaw, two in the front and two in the back, to provide optimal support. The dental prosthesis is then fixed to the implants using a fixation system. This method with four implants offers the advantage of not requiring complex post-dental surgery such as grafts, because the implants are placed in such a way as to avoid areas where significant bone loss would have required sinus filling (sinus lift) to be able to place 6 implants.

Treatment plan and steps

Here are the main stages of the process of placing the four dental implants for the All on 4 and All on 6 technique:

1. Initial assessment and treatment planning: The dentist performs a complete assessment of the patient’s mouth, including x-ray examinations and digital 3D models, to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
2. Placement of implants, implantology: During the surgical procedure, the 4 dental implants are inserted into the jaw bone and the gum is sutured.
3. Osteointegration: The implants integrate with the jawbone over a period of months, providing a solid foundation for future dentures.
4. Fitting the dental bridge: Once osseointegration is complete, the complete denture is attached to the all on 4 or 6 implants and the necessary adjustments are made to ensure perfect fit and function.

In short, the All on 4 or All on 6 allows you to redo your mouth with a well-planned and executed process, using, as an option, advanced digital surgical guidance technology to ensure a successful and lasting treatment.

Steps at Bucharest British Dental Place clinic.

The implementation of the all on 4 or 6 technique involves.
In general, 2 stages are necessary on site.

Preparatory stage

Before your departure it is necessary to provide you with an estimate and a treatment plan to carry out some radiological examinations.

• Dental panoramic
• Dental scanner

We will provide you with a prescription to carry them out in France

We are not asking to have teeth pulled in France. In fact, it is very important to remove the teeth very carefully to preserve the bone as much as possible. Also we prefer to perform this step during step 1.

In this preparatory phase we will assess whether the patient needs additional care, for example a bone graft or a sinus lift. In the case of bone grafting, an additional step may be necessary while the graft stabilizes, approximately 4 to 6 months.

We also assess whether the patient needs 4 or 6 implants all on 4 or 6

 

Step 1: Dental surgery and implantology

Step 2: Final bridge

• After approximately 6 months
• The clinical examination validates the good osseointegration of dental implants
• The dental surgeon will make a new 3D impression
• Then the final prosthesis is made in a few days and placed

These protocols may concern the repair of one or both jaws. For 2 jaws, the stay time in Bucharest is longer

Prosthetics

The prosthesis will be made up of 2 parts, the support which will be made of metal or titanium, and the teeth which will be made of ceramic or zircon, most often.
