All-on-4 and All-on-6 replace a full arch of teeth with a fixed bridge screwed onto four or six implants. The teeth do not come out at home; a dentist removes them only for maintenance. At LOSAN Dental, prosthodontist Dr. Diego Lopez plans each All-on-X case with 4, 6 or 8 implants depending on your bone and bite, usually over two trips to Los Algodones.
| All-on-4 | All-on-6 / All-on-8 | |
|---|---|---|
| Implants per arch | 4 | 6 or 8 |
| Best when | Bone is limited in the back of the jaw | There is enough bone for more support |
| Load distribution | Good | Spread over more implants |
| Teeth removable at home? | No — fixed | No — fixed |
| Decided by | Your X-rays and bite | Your X-rays and bite |
Hybrid (screw-retained) dentures can be made of different materials, chosen for hardness, aesthetics and longevity. Dr. Diego explains the options and their trade-offs at your evaluation.
Treatment time varies for each patient. Usually the implants are placed on a first trip and, after a healing period of a few months, the final fixed prosthesis is delivered on a second trip. Dr. Diego Lopez will give you a personal timeline after your evaluation.
Snap-on dentures are removable: they click onto implants and you take them out to clean them. All-on-4 and All-on-6 are fixed: the teeth are screwed to the implants and only the dentist removes them. Fixed teeth feel more like natural teeth; snap-on dentures usually need fewer implants.
Some treatments can be performed under IV sedation for patients who feel anxious or need long procedures. Ask during your evaluation whether it is an option for your case.
The cost depends on how many implants you need, whether you need bone grafting, and the type of final teeth. LOSAN Dental gives every patient a written plan with the total cost before treatment starts.
It depends on the treatment. Crowns and veneers can often be completed in a single trip of a few days. Dental implants usually take two trips: one to place the implants and another, after a healing period of a few months, for the final teeth. Your exact plan is defined at your evaluation.
