As implant procedures become increasingly popular among patients, Dr Antonio Cappello stays at the forefront of technological innovation, using only the highest-quality materials for every type of implant placement. Whether you are dealing with complete tooth loss, significant bone resorption, or the replacement of a single tooth, at Dentonio you will receive the smile you deserve. To speed up the process, we also offer the latest 3D dental imaging technology right here in the clinic – so everything needed for a healthy solution is available in one place.
Our range includes modern implant methods such as All-on-4 and All-on-6. Below, you can learn the difference and discover which solution is ideal for you.
All-on-4 is a full-arch rehabilitation technique that allows the replacement of all teeth in one jaw using only four implants. Two implants are placed vertically in the front of the jaw, while the other two are precisely positioned at an angle in the back. This creates maximum stability and optimal load distribution. The method is an ideal choice for patients with severely compromised teeth or the consequences of periodontitis, as it enables a fast and long-lasting smile transformation with a minimal number of implants.
All-on-6, on the other hand, offers an additional level of security and longevity thanks to a bridge supported by six implants. This approach provides exceptional stability, especially when extra support is needed. In certain cases, bone augmentation may be required to create ideal conditions for placement. The final bridge delivers strong, reliable support for the prosthetic teeth, together with a flawless aesthetic result and a completely natural feel.
Frequently Asked Questions
At Dentonio, we perform many different types of implant placements every day. It is important to us that patients enter the process free of doubt and with complete confidence in our expert team:
How long does the procedure take?
Placing a single implant takes between 15 and 20 minutes.
Is recovery quick?
Patients with significant bone resorption receive temporary teeth that must be worn for a minimum of three months to allow proper integration and bone formation around the implant. With every type of implant placement, patients receive appropriate medication for four days and can return to their daily activities without any problems or complications.
What determines the cost of implant placement?
The price depends on the type of implants used. Because Dentonio has a complete in-house dental laboratory and a wide range of materials and equipment, implant placement is significantly more affordable, faster and more efficient compared to clinics that only perform the surgical procedure.
What are the differences between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
*Number of implants
The most obvious difference is the number of implants placed in the jaw.
*All-on-4 uses four implants, while All-on-6 uses six. All-on-6 is essentially similar to All-on-4, but the two additional implants provide extra support for better fixation of the bridge.
*Bone grafting
With the All-on-6 procedure there is a higher likelihood that bone grafting will be needed, because the bone in the back of the jaw is often more resorbed.
*Stability
All-on-6 implants offer greater stability and strength. Although this depends on the condition of the patient’s jawbone and gums, the two extra implants reinforce the jaw and help prevent further bone loss.
*Cost
All-on-6 is more expensive because it requires the placement of two additional implants and possible bone grafting.
Implant angulation. All-on-4 typically uses angled implants, while All-on-6 uses straight implants.
