All on 4 and All on 6 implant applications are treatment methods that allow for the creation of fixed prostheses by placing a minimum number of implants on the jawbones. These methods enable appropriate treatment for patients who want to have fixed prostheses due to the loss of all their teeth or face problems using removable prostheses due to observed bone loss in the jawbones.
The number of implants required for the application can vary between 4 and 8 depending on the condition of the jawbones. With the temporary prostheses applied immediately after the treatment, the patient can achieve an aesthetic smile in a short period.

What are the Advantages of All on 4 and All on 6 Applications for Patients?
With the All on four and All on six techniques, temporary dental prostheses can be applied simultaneously, and aesthetic and functional losses can be eliminated. Aesthetic smile profile can be created by designing the prostheses with smile line adjustments. Through personalized design planning, a natural and harmonious result can be achieved in accordance with other parameters on the face. It allows for fixed prosthesis applications even in patients with limited bone tissue. Thus, application can be made without the need for additional surgical procedures aimed at increasing the volume of the jawbone in most cases.
Although it is a surgical procedure, the problems of pain and swelling that may occur after the procedure are minimal. This situation can be eliminated shortly after treatment with cold compress applications and regular use of medications prescribed by the dentist. Since there is no need for large prosthetic pieces resting on the palate and the prosthesis is fixed to the jawbone, the comfort of use is higher than that of removable dental prostheses.
In Which Cases Can All on 4 and All on 6 Applications Be Applied?
All on 4 and All on 6 applications are suitable treatment alternatives for patients who have not health problems preventing implant applications and have lost all their teeth. In cases where there is tissue damage to the extent that all teeth need to be extracted while teeth are present in the mouth, implant application with this technique can be performed in the same session as the extractions.
All on 4 and All on 6 treatments come to the forefront in cases where the patient does not want many implants to be placed or there is bone loss to the extent that prevents implantation in the posterior regions of the jawbone. If these applications are preferred, in the patient planned for fixed prosthesis, there is no need for additional surgical procedures to increase the amount of bone tissue in the posterior areas where the bone tissue is insufficient.
What is the Lifespan of Implant Applications Made with All on 4 and All on 6 Techniques?
Under ideal conditions, it has been proven through research that All on 4 and All on 6 applications can be successful in the long term. Ensuring ideal conditions is possible by maintaining the care of the applied treatment and avoiding exposing the implant to loads that would disrupt its immobility during the fusion period of the implant with the bone. Routine oral care should be taken for the maintenance of implants and prostheses.
For the immobility of the implant to be ensured, daily food consumption should be carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the dentist. By providing these conditions, negative results such as infection development around the implant can be prevented, and the treatment can function effectively for a long time.
How Does the Treatment Process Progress with All on 4 and All on 6 Techniques?
In the application of All on 4 and All on 6 techniques, detailed treatment planning is first required. During this planning, clinical and radiographic findings are evaluated in detail at the initial examination session. During the evaluations, the adequacy of bone quantity and gingival tissue for implant application is checked.
In rare cases where sufficient tissue is not available, additional surgical procedures may be planned to create the required tissue in the area. If these applications are required, a waiting period of 4 to 6 months may be necessary for the bone tissue added with bone powder to reach a sufficient quality.
If suitable conditions are available for treatment, impressions are taken from the oral cavity to design temporary prostheses. Then, with the help of three-dimensional imaging methods, a detailed examination of the condition of the bones is made, and an ideal treatment plan is determined. After measurements in various areas are made based on the three-dimensional radiographic image, the length, diameter, and required positions of the implants to be placed are determined, and a suitable day is selected for the treatment session.
Treatment procedures can be applied painlessly with local anesthesia and completed without discomfort. However, if there is fear of the treatment process, a treatment plan can be created with sedation or general anesthesia applications to control the patient’s anxiety and ensure a more comfortable treatment process.
In the treatment session, if tooth extraction is required, the relevant teeth are extracted. Then, depending on the need, implant application is performed on one jawbone with 4, 6, or 8 implants. After the application of the implants, temporary dental prostheses prepared are placed on the implants. A new appointment is scheduled for the application of permanent prostheses after approximately 3 months, following the ideal fusion of the implants with the bone.
What Should Be Considered After All on 4 and All on 6 Treatments?
Minimal pain and swelling may rarely occur after treatments applied with All on 4 and All on 6 techniques. To prevent the occurrence of this condition and ensure rapid healing if it occurs, it is important to apply cold compresses in the first 24 hours during the post-treatment period. Comfortable healing in the region can be ensured by using the medications prescribed by the dentist regularly. During the period when temporary dental prostheses are used, care should be taken to minimize the load on the prostheses as much as possible.
Avoiding the consumption of hard and sticky foods is recommended to prevent excessive load on the temporary prostheses. Consuming soft foods during this period is important to ensure the ideal connection between the bone and the implant. After the application of permanent dental prostheses, normal eating habits can be resumed.
What Factors Determine the Prices of All on 4 and All on 6?
The prices of All on 4 and All on 6 vary depending on the brand preferred for treatment. Treatment fees may differ depending on various parameters such as the condition of the jawbones, the duration of the planned All on 4 and All on 6 treatment, the type of prosthesis to be made, or the area where the prosthesis will be placed, as well as the implant features required for treatment and auxiliary systems to be used for connecting the prosthesis to the implant. Accordingly, treatment costs may vary among different treatments.
