All-on-4 or 6 Dental Implants
A minimally invasive solution with a fixed full-arch restoration for high patient satisfaction.
We are proud to offer the widely popular “All-on-4 or 6” treatment. This procedure is an excellent choice for those patients replacing any front teeth and those who need to have several implants placed simultaneously for an extensive restoration.

The procedure is quite straightforward. Our oral surgeon pulls out the tooth and immediately replaces it with an implant—all in the same surgery. Then, we attach a temporary bridge in the same session.
Once the implant is correctly integrated into the bone (approximately after six months), the patient books a new appointment with a general dentist to have the final restoration placed. In this session, your general dentist will fit a permanent bridge, which is typically made of zircon. This material is strong and durable and has excellent esthetic results.
This method has a significant advantage: it tends to be shorter than traditional implant placing treatments. Usually, the dentist first extracts the tooth and then needs to wait a few months before performing a new surgery to place the implants. Then, after this second surgery, the patient needs to wait for another three – six months before having the final restoration fitted. This “biological time” needs to be respected for successful treatment. On the other hand, with “All-on-4 or 6”, the patients save precious time skipping those months between the first and second surgeries.
In addition to this, with “All-on-4 or 6,” patients won’t have to deal with provisional bridges. Many of you might have gone through this. No matter how good this provisional seems to be, the chances are that it will need a few visits to the office until it fits perfectly.
How To Care For All-on-4
We strongly advise our patients to regularly visit their general dentist’s office to have their implants checked and cleaned. They will remove the fixed restoration (bridge or crowns) and clean the implants’ abutments. Once the deep cleaning is ready, your dentist will check the implants. If everything is ok, they will screw the bridge or crowns back into the implants.
Are You a Candidate for All-on-4 or 6?
Patients with edentulism (toothlessness) are often eligible for the All-on-4 or 6 treatment concept. A thorough evaluation of any patient is necessary in order to choose the right treatment and to establish a predictable treatment outcome.
Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants (attached to the cheekbone) are often a choice for patients who aren’t candidates for traditional dental implants due to severely resorbed edentulous maxilla (lack of bone mass in the upper arch).
