All-on-4 and All-on-6 in Slovenia

The method

What All-on-4 and All-on-6 are

All-on-4 and All-on-6 are methods for fixing a complete row of teeth on only four or six implants.

The implants are placed in the jaw and carry a full-arch bridge, so the teeth stay in the mouth all the time and are not taken out like a removable denture.

The difference between the two is the number of implants: four implants carry the whole bridge in All-on-4, six in All-on-6. In some cases All-on-6 is recommended for better stability; how many implants you need is decided by the dentist after the examination.

Suitability

Who it is for

The method replaces all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or in both.

It is considered for people who have lost all or most of their teeth.
If a few teeth remain, they are removed before the implants are placed, because the bridge replaces all the natural teeth in that jaw.
Because placing implants is a surgical procedure, the dentist first checks your general and oral health.
Whether All-on-4 or All-on-6 is suitable is decided on the basis of your habits, oral hygiene and a CBCT image of the jaw.

Treatment

How the treatment proceeds

First consultation and imaging
Treatment starts with a paid first consultation and imaging; the dentist checks whether the method suits you and plans the treatment.
Implants
Any remaining teeth are removed and the implants are placed under local anaesthesia.
Healing
The implants need time to heal into the jaw bone before the final bridge is fitted; the dentist tells you how long this takes in your case. During healing a temporary denture is often used.
Fixed bridge
Finally the abutments and the fixed bridge are fitted.

In Celje, the treatment can also be carried out under general anaesthesia (adults over 18 only). More on general anaesthesia.

Price

How much do All-on-4 and All-on-6 cost?

All-on-4 and All-on-6 do not have a row on our price list. The price depends on the number of implants, the material of the bridge, the bone and the clinic, so it is calculated after the examination.

A binding estimate is prepared by the dentist after the examination; we do not prepare detailed written estimates remotely.

First consultation at Škofije near Koper and in Ljubljana: 35 €, including an OPG.
First consultation in Celje: 100 €, including a CBCT scan.
First consultation in Kranj: 40 € (30 € for an implant consultation).

Aftercare

After the treatment

For the first few days after the implants are placed, soft food is usually advised.
While the implants heal into the bone, avoid hard and chewy food and smoking, and follow the instructions for caring for the temporary denture.
Once the fixed bridge is in place, look after it like natural teeth: regular brushing, cleaning between the teeth and regular check-ups with your dentist.
As with any surgical procedure, complications are possible; your dentist explains them before treatment.
We give a guarantee on work done.
