Dentistry
All on 4 / All on 6
In Spain you will find dental clinics all over the country. Decide on a destination and we will help you find the best clinic for you.
The All on 4 or All on 6 treatments are an excellent option if you require treatment for the entire mouth. It is a good way to save money. You will find much cheaper options than one-on-one dental implants.
Treatment characteristics
The all-on-four/six treatment is recommended for those patients who have lost several (or all) teeth.
The treatment consists of implanting several teeth, for one or both full arches, held in place by 4 or 6 implants.
This surgery is performed under conscious sedation and usually requires between 1 and 2 hours.
Once the implants are in place (the number will depend on the general health of your jaws and gum tissue), you can have your new teeth fitted one piece at a time or a provisional one can be fitted for a few months to allow for proper healing in cases with more severe bone reabsorption.
The result is a perfect smile, in accordance with your features, and fully functional teeth.
The time you will have to spend in Spain will vary depending on the health of your jaws and gum tissue, so you may need just 48 hours or a few weeks.

Advantages
- The advantage of being able to carry out this treatment is, on the one hand, to be able to have a functional, aesthetically pleasing, fixed denture (avoiding the inconveniences of a removable dental prosthesis) and, on the other hand, by using this technique, recovery times are reduced and the number of operations required to place the implants is reduced.
Treatment itinerary
Before treatment
- Check that you have prepared all the personal documentation (credit card, cash, passport, Identity Card...), medical (reports, prescriptions, images...) and travel (confirmation of accommodation booking, travel tickets...)
- If you take medication of any kind not related to the surgery, do not forget to take with you the necessary amount for your stay in Spain, as well as the medical prescription that will allow you to travel with it without problems.
During treatment
- Once you are in Spain, you will have to make an appointment with your specialist. During this visit, the doctor will open your medical record (for which you will be asked to provide all your medical documentation), perform a physical examination and tell you if any further tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
- If it is not necessary and everything is confirmed, your doctor will tell you when you must go to the preoperative study and will confirm the time of admission for the day of your surgery.
- If the surgeon has told you to stop taking any medication a few days before the surgery, such as anticoagulants, please do not forget to follow the exact instructions given by the doctor or you will not be able to have the operation!
After treatment
- After the procedure, once the anesthesia wears off, you may feel some discomfort for which you may take some painkillers (prescribed by your dentist).
- Some people may have inflammation around the area and even some bruising. This is not cause for worry, it is just the natural reaction of our tissue when recovering from surgery.
- Remember that your recovery time will vary depending on your age, your physical condition, your lifestyle habits and your attitude.
- Keep in mind that your successful recovery also depends on you!
