Overview
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are implant treatments for patients who are completely edentulous (have no teeth) or have very few teeth remaining. In these methods, a small number of implants (4 or 6) are strategically placed in the jawbone, and a fixed prosthesis (dental bridge) is attached to these implants. Thus, patients can have fixed teeth on the same day.
Differences Between All-on-4 and All-on-6
- Number of Implants: All-on-4 uses 4 implants, while All-on-6 uses 6 implants.
- Stability: Using more implants provides more support and stability for the prosthesis. Therefore, All-on-6 may be more suitable for patients with low bone density.
- Cost: All-on-6 may be more costly than All-on-4 due to the use of more implants.
