Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6, and which do I need?
All-on-4 uses four implants per arch with the rear two angled to maximize contact with available bone, making it ideal for patients with moderate bone loss who want to avoid bone grafting. All-on-6 uses six implants for greater bite-force distribution and long-term stability, but requires adequate bone density. Your surgeon should recommend the right option based on CBCT scan findings.
How do I clean and maintain All-on-4 implants long-term?
Daily care requires a soft-bristled or electric toothbrush with non-abrasive toothpaste, plus interdental brushes or a water flosser to clean beneath the fixed bridge. Every 6 months, a dental professional should remove the prosthesis for ultrasonic cleaning. With proper maintenance, the titanium implants can last a lifetime while the prosthetic arch typically needs replacement after 10-15 years.
How many trips abroad does All-on-4 treatment require?
Most clinics structure All-on-4 as a two-trip process: the first trip (7-10 days) covers extraction, implant placement, and fitting of a temporary fixed bridge. The second trip (5-7 days) takes place 3-6 months later for the permanent prosthesis. Some clinics offer a single-trip protocol for straightforward cases.
What should I do if I experience a complication after returning home?
Contact your treating clinic immediately for a remote consultation, as many issues can be triaged via photos and video calls. For urgent problems such as infection or prosthesis fracture, see a local implantologist who can provide interim care. Establish a relationship with a local dentist experienced in implant maintenance before you travel.
What questions should I ask an overseas dental clinic before booking All-on-4?
Ask about the implant brand and manufacturer warranty, the prosthodontist's experience with full-arch cases (number completed), whether CBCT scanning is done in-house, the dental lab turnaround time for your prosthesis, and what revision or adjustment policy applies after you return home.
