Introduction
Tooth loss is a common problem that affects millions of people worldwide, leading to difficulties in chewing, speaking, and even lowering self-confidence. Traditional dentures can solve some of these issues, but they are often uncomfortable and unstable. Thanks to modern dentistry, All-On-4 and All-On-6 implant systems have emerged as revolutionary solutions, offering patients permanent, stable, and natural-looking teeth replacements. Turkey has become one of the top destinations for these treatments, combining cutting-edge dental technology with affordable prices.
What Are All-On-4 and All-On-6 Implants?
Both All-On-4 and All-On-6 are advanced dental implant procedures designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. Instead of replacing each missing tooth with an individual implant, these techniques allow dentists to place either four or six implants in the jawbone, which then support a full arch of prosthetic teeth.
- All-On-4 Implants: Four strategically placed implants—two at the front and two angled at the back—support a full dental bridge.
- All-On-6 Implants: Six implants are distributed across the jaw for greater stability and load distribution.
Both methods provide a strong foundation for fixed teeth, eliminating the need for removable dentures.
Key Differences Between All-On-4 and All-On-6
- Number of Implants
- All-On-4 uses fewer implants, which makes the procedure faster and more cost-effective.
- All-On-6 involves six implants, offering more stability and better pressure distribution.
- Bone Structure Requirements
- All-On-4 is suitable for patients with reduced bone density since the angled implants maximize bone contact.
- All-On-6 may require stronger bone support, but it ensures a sturdier result.
- Durability and Longevity
- Both treatments are long-lasting with proper care, but All-On-6 may provide slightly higher durability due to additional implants.
Who Is the Right Candidate?
Ideal candidates for All-On-4 or All-On-6 implants are:
- Individuals with missing teeth or severe tooth decay.
- Patients who currently use dentures but want a permanent solution.
- Adults with sufficient bone structure (though bone grafting can be done if needed).
- Those seeking a natural-looking and comfortable alternative to removable dentures.
The Treatment Process
- Initial Consultation & Imaging
The dentist examines oral health, takes X-rays or 3D scans, and creates a personalized treatment plan. - Implant Placement
Under local anesthesia (or sedation, if requested), implants are placed into the jawbone in strategic positions. - Temporary Prosthesis
In many cases, a temporary fixed prosthesis is attached on the same day, allowing patients to leave the clinic with functioning teeth. - Healing and Osseointegration
Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the jawbone for maximum stability. - Permanent Prosthesis
Once healing is complete, the final dental bridge is placed, giving the patient a brand-new, natural-looking smile.
