All on 4/6 Dental Implants
How does All on 4/6 Dental Implants Implants work?
In the All-on-4/6 procedure, four implants are strategically placed in the jawbone, in precise positions that provide maximum stability and support. A complete fixed denture is attached to these implants, replacing all the teeth in the arch.
Advantages of All-on-4/6 dental implants:
- Smile restoration in just one day: In many cases, the implants and the temporary denture can be placed on the same day, allowing the patient to smile and chew naturally again in a short time.
- Fixed and long-lasting solution: All-on-4 dental implants offer a fixed and stable solution that can last for many years, if not a lifetime, with proper maintenance and oral care.
- Minimal surgery: The All-on-4 technique requires minimally invasive surgery compared to traditional procedures with multiple implants, resulting in less trauma and a faster recovery time.

What is All on 4/6 Dental Implants ?
All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants are advanced surgical techniques for the fixed prosthetic rehabilitation of an entire edentulous (toothless) dental arch. Both procedures are based on the insertion of biocompatible titanium endosteal implants directly into the maxillary or mandibular bone. These implants act as stable and long-lasting artificial roots, on which a complete fixed dental prosthesis is subsequently anchored, restoring both chewing function and the aesthetics of the smile.
All-on-4: This technique involves the strategic insertion of only four dental implants. Two implants are positioned vertically in the anterior area of the arch, while the other two are inserted posteriorly with a specific angle. This posterior angle makes the most of the available bone in the posterior areas of the arch, which often have a lower bone density than the anterior area. The implantologist will select the length and diameter of the implants based on the quality and quantity of the patient’s residual bone.
All-on-6: This technique involves the insertion of six dental implants positioned uniformly along the dental arch. This configuration offers greater stability and distribution of the chewing load, making it particularly suitable for cases of moderate bone loss. The presence of six implants allows the dentist to position the implants more vertically, reducing the need for regenerative bone surgery techniques to increase the available bone volume.
Both procedures require careful pre-operative planning, which often includes a Cone Beam CT scan for a three-dimensional assessment of the maxillary or mandibular bone and virtual selection of the position of the implants. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia or conscious sedation, depending on the case and the patient’s preference.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants in Albania
Am I a good candidate for All-on-4/All-on-6 dental implants?
During your initial consultation, your dentist will carefully evaluate your dental and medical situation to determine if All-on-4/All-on-6 implants are the right solution for you. In general, these treatments are indicated for adult patients in good general health with sufficient residual jaw bone to support the implants. Factors such as the quality and quantity of bone, the presence of any infections, and the health of the gum tissue will determine the most appropriate technique (All-on-4 or All-on-6).
What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
The main difference between the two techniques is the number of implants used. All-on-4 implants involve the insertion of four strategically placed implants, while the All-on-6 technique uses six implants evenly spaced along the arch. All-on-4 is particularly suitable for cases with good bone density, while All-on-6 offers greater stability and may be advantageous in the presence of moderate bone loss.
How long does the implant placement procedure and recovery take?
The All-on-4/All-on-6 implant placement procedure usually takes a few hours and is performed under local anesthesia or conscious sedation. Recovery time varies from patient to patient, but in many cases it is possible to apply a fixed temporary dental prosthesis on the same day as the procedure, allowing for immediate aesthetic and functional rehabilitation. The complete process of bone healing and osseointegration of the implants can take several months, during which precise instructions will be provided for the care and maintenance of the new implants and the temporary prosthesis.
