What Are All-on-4 vs. All-on-6 Dental Implants?

Posted in: Dental Implants, Practice News

Dental implants are considered the best permanent replacement option for missing teeth. While some individuals only need a couple of teeth replaced, there are many others who require a full mouth teeth replacement. There’s no doubt this can be an intimidating situation, but with All-on-4^® and All-on-6, patients at Precision Periodontics & Implantology can get a brand new smile that looks and functions like their natural teeth – often in as little as one day.

All-on-4^® and All-on-6 both involve using dental implants to anchor a denture to replace missing teeth on the upper and/or lower arch. With All-on-4^®, this entails four implants, with the two back posts being inserted at an angle to make the most of the available bone. All-on-6, on the other hand, uses six implants on each arch to secure the denture. The specific number of implants needed to complete your new teeth in a day procedure will ultimately depend upon factors such as the quality of your jawbone.
