All-on-4 and All-on-6: full mouth in one day, how it works

Losing several teeth doesn't sentence you to a denture. All-on-4 (and its reinforced All-on-6 version) places a full arch of fixed teeth on just 4 or 6 implants, often in a single surgical session. It's today's most-requested solution for complete or advanced edentulism.

All-on-4 and All-on-6: full mouth in one day, how it works

The principle: 4 implants, 12 to 14 teeth

Two straight implants at the front, two tilted implants at the back. A full 12-to-14-tooth prosthesis is screwed onto these pillars. Forces are distributed to support normal chewing — steak included.

Why it avoids bone grafting

Tilting the posterior implants bypasses areas where bone has resorbed (sinus, nerve). Result: no sinus lift needed in most cases, so no six-month wait. This is the major advantage over classical implantology.

Immediate loading

On the day of surgery, a fixed temporary prosthesis is screwed onto your new implants. You walk out with teeth. The final zirconia or ceramic prosthesis is fitted three to six months later, after complete bone healing.

All-on-4 vs All-on-6: which to pick?

All-on-6 (six implants instead of four) is recommended when available bone allows and for the upper jaw, harder to anchor. It offers better long-term force distribution. Choice depends only on your 3D scan — not price.

Number of trips, cost

Trip 1 (5-7 days): assessment, surgery, implants and temporary prosthesis placement. Trip 2 (3-5 days, three to six months later): remove temporary, fit final. Total budget: €4,500 to €7,000 per arch all-inclusive — three to five times less than France.

All-on-4/6 means recovering a fixed mouth in 24 hours of surgery and moving beyond the denture logic. The technique is mature, Tunisia is one of the world's leading countries for it. A scan is enough to know if you qualify.
