One of the most effective treatment options in modern dentistry for individuals experiencing tooth loss is All-on-4 and All-on-6 prostheses. These treatment methods provide a permanent and aesthetic solution for replacing missing teeth, while also improving the quality of daily life of patients who have experienced tooth loss. Antalya prosthetic dentistry specialist Dr. Tevfik Yavuz offers various options to meet the aesthetic and functional needs of his patients with All-on-4 and All-on-6 treatment methods.

What are All-on-4 and All-on-6?

All-on-4 and All-on-6 are fixed prosthesis applications developed for individuals experiencing tooth loss. In these treatment methods, 4 or 6 implants are placed in the jawbone and a fixed prosthesis is applied to these implants. The main difference between the All-on-4 and All-on-6 methods is the different number of implants. Both treatments offer a fast and long-term solution for patients experiencing tooth loss.

All-on-4 Dentures

All-on-4 is a method of replacing missing teeth with a fixed prosthesis by placing 4 implants in the jawbone. This treatment is especially suitable for individuals with sufficient jawbone but who have lost teeth. All-on-4 provides a very similar appearance to natural teeth thanks to the implants placed in the jawbone. This prosthesis method offers a fast and economical solution for patients with tooth loss.

✔ Advantages:

• It is an ideal treatment option for patients with jaw bone loss.
• All teeth can be replaced with just 4 implants.
• Treatment is completed in a shorter time compared to other implant methods.
• It offers a permanent and fixed solution.

All-on-6 Dentures

All-on-6 is a treatment method in which 6 implants are placed in the jawbone and a fixed prosthesis is applied to them. This treatment is recommended for patients with sufficient jawbone. Since more implants are used, All-on-6 creates a more solid structure and provides patients with a more comfortable usage experience. It also allows the teeth to be placed more naturally.

✔ Advantages:

• The more implants are used, the more durable the prosthesis becomes.
• It allows the teeth to be placed in a more natural way.
• It offers a comfortable and aesthetic solution.
• Provides long-term use.

Application Process of All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dentures

The application process of All-on-4 and All-on-6 prostheses consists of several stages. First, the patient is subjected to a detailed examination and evaluation process. The structure of the jawbone and the patient’s general health are examined. Then, the implants are placed in the jawbone and the healing process begins before the fixed prostheses are placed. This process usually takes several months. After the healing process, the permanent prostheses are placed in accordance with the patient’s oral structure.

✔ Treatment Stages:

1. Initial examination and diagnosis
2. Jaw bone evaluation and planning
3. Placement of implants
4. The healing process
5. Placement of permanent prostheses
