Short description: If you are suffering from multiple tooth losses, you probably heard of All on 4 and All on 6 Procedures while searching for your treatment options. But which one is better?

Dental implants have been considered to be the most efficient solution for missing teeth for decades. With the technological and medical developments, the variety of techniques and procedures with dental implants improved significantly since then, especially for people who lost most of their teeth for several reasons. If you are one of them, you probably heard of All on 4® and All on 6® Procedures while searching for your treatment options. Now, let’s see the pros/cons and the differences between these treatments to have a better understanding:

What Is All on 4® & All on 6®?

Before these considerably new procedures, people who lost a significant number of their teeth were required to get a single dental implant to replace every missing tooth, and usually needed additional treatments like sinus lifting and bone grafting. The procedures are named as they are since both All on 4® and All on 6® allow us to restore full-arch teeth with only 4 or 6 dental implants. Even if the bone density levels or bone volume are low in the posterior area, inserting special kinds of dental implants at specific angles enables bearing the whole pressure of a full-arch prosthetic without the necessity for bone augmentation.

Benefits of All on 4® & All on 6® Procedures

Full Functioning Prosthetic Teeth

Supports jawbone strength

Lower Risk of Infection

Low Cost

All on 4® vs All on 6®

While both procedures aim to achieve the same result, there are some differences that may lead your dentist to recommend one or the other for your case.

The main difference between the two procedures is the number of dental implants. Both All-on-4® and All-on-6® provide great permanent results for total dental reconstructions, but some dentists argue that distributing the pressure more evenly with 6 dental implants provides a stronger and more stable base for the full-arch prosthetic, which makes biting and chewing more comfortable and helps the prosthetic last longer.

Besides biting and chewing, our teeth have another important purpose actually: Keeping the jawbone stable and strong. You may have noticed that the cheeks of people who wear dentures for a long time may look sunken when they take their dentures out. It is because the bones in the area begin to deteriorate without teeth. Dental Implants, on the other hand, are designed to fuse with the jawbone, which stimulates the bone and maintains its strength. More implants provide more strength and stability for the jawbone. But in terms of appearance, fixing the prosthetic onto dental implants permanently prevents the sunken appearance in either case.
