Full-Arch Implants
All-on-4 and All-on-6 Implants in Jeddah
All-on-4 restores a complete arch of teeth using just four implants to carry a fixed bridge, while All-on-6 uses six implants for wider load distribution in some cases.
It is the solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth and do not want a removable denture — fixed teeth that are not taken out daily, and chewing close to natural.
How does All-on-4 work?
Four implants are placed in calculated positions: two at the front placed straight, and two at the back placed at a deliberate angle to increase contact with the available bone.
That angulation is the core of the idea: it makes use of existing bone and avoids weaker areas, which means many cases need less extensive bone grafting.
A full bridge carrying the arch of teeth is then fixed onto the implants, so the whole restoration behaves as one stable unit.
All-on-4 versus All-on-6
All-on-4 uses four implants and suits cases with more limited bone, or patients looking for a less invasive option.
All-on-6 adds two implants to spread load across a wider area, and can be the better choice where bone is good or biting forces are high.
The choice rests on bone density, jaw shape and bite force, and is settled after 3D imaging rather than before.
All-on-4 versus a removable denture
A removable denture rests on the gum, can move while eating or speaking, needs daily removal and cleaning, and the bone underneath continues to resorb over time.
An All-on-4 bridge rests on implants rather than gum, so it stays fixed, and loading the implants helps protect the bone from rapid resorption.
The practical difference shows in the foods patients return to and in their confidence while speaking.
The stages of treatment
A full assessment with 3D imaging to measure available bone and plan implant positions and angles.
A surgical visit to place the implants, usually followed shortly by a fixed temporary bridge so the patient is not left without teeth.
Once osseointegration is complete the final bridge is made, with bite, shape and shade adjusted.
Care after full-arch implants
Daily cleaning around the implants and under the bridge is essential, and the method and tools are explained to you after fitting.
Regular reviews catch any issue early, before it affects the implants.
Smoking is one of the biggest long-term threats to implant stability, and stopping clearly improves the outcome.
