How long does implant treatment take?

Implant treatment takes 3–6 months on average. Placing the implant takes 30–60 minutes, while 2–6 months are needed for the implant to integrate with the bone. With rapid implant protocols the treatment time can be shortened in some cases.

What can I do if I do not have enough bone for an implant?

If there is not enough bone, bone augmentation procedures such as a bone graft can be performed. Alternative solutions such as short implants or zygomatic implants may also be considered. After a detailed examination your dentist will recommend the most suitable option for you.

What care is needed after implant treatment?

After implant treatment, regular brushing, use of dental floss and professional dental cleaning are important. So that your implants last a long time, you are advised to attend regular check-ups every 6 months.

How long do implants last?

With good oral care and regular dental check-ups, implants can be used without problems for 15–20 years or longer.

All-on-4 / All-on-6 Treatments

Treatments

All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant treatments are a modern and rapid solution that allows fixed prostheses to be placed on the upper and lower jaw in cases of complete tooth loss. With a small number of implants they give you natural-looking, fixed and long-lasting teeth. In most cases you can have a new smile with temporary fixed teeth on the same day.

The All-on-4 / All-on-6 Treatment Process

All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant procedures are a modern treatment method that provides fixed dental prostheses for fully edentulous patients. The process consists of the following stages:

Examination and Radiography

The structure of the jawbone is assessed with a panoramic radiograph and 3D tomography. Suitable implant planning is carried out.

Planning and Preparation

A personalised All-on-4 or All-on-6 treatment plan is drawn up. If necessary, the teeth to be extracted are identified.

Placement of the Implants

Usually on the same day, 4 or 6 implants are placed in the jawbone. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia.

Temporary Fixed Prosthesis

After the implants are placed, a temporary fixed prosthesis is fitted the same day or the following day. The patient immediately regains comfort in chewing and speaking.

Healing Period

Integration of the implants with the bone generally requires a period of 3–6 months. A temporary prosthesis is used during this time.

Fitting the Final Prosthesis

Once the implants have fused with the bone, a personalised, aesthetic and functional fixed final prosthesis is fitted.

Advantages of All-on-4 / All-on-6 Treatment

Fast and Effective Solution

The implants are usually placed and the temporary teeth fitted within a single day.

No Bone Graft Required

Thanks to implants placed at specific angles, bone augmentation is not needed in most cases.

Comfort of Fixed Teeth

It offers a far more comfortable, stable and natural feel than removable dentures.

Aesthetic Appearance

Aesthetic designs with the look of natural teeth give you a confident smile.

Ease of Speaking and Chewing

Thanks to the fixed structure, speaking and eating continue comfortably in daily life.

A Long-lasting Investment

With proper care, All-on-4 / All-on-6 implants can be used safely for many years.

Frequently asked questions

Because implant treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia, no pain is felt during the procedure. There may be mild pain and swelling for the first few days afterwards, but this is part of the normal healing process and can be controlled with the medication prescribed to you.

Dental Implant Treatment

Dental Implant Treatment – A Natural-looking Tooth Solution Dental implant treatment restores the aesthetics and function of a tooth by placing biocompatible titanium screws in place of the missing tooth root. The implant forms osseointegration (fusion) with the jawbone, thereby preventing bone loss and improving comfort in speaking and chewing. Standing out for its appearance closest to a natural tooth and durability exceeding 20 years, this method is carried out under local anaesthesia and is widely applied.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that removes discolouration on the teeth to achieve a brighter and more aesthetic smile. It gives effective results in a short time and is applied safely.

Tooth Decay Treatment (Fillings)

Tooth decay treatment is the process of cleaning tooth tissue damaged by decay and closing the cavity with filling material. It is carried out under local anaesthesia and is usually completed in a single session. Thanks to aesthetic filling materials, the natural appearance of the tooth is preserved. This treatment both restores the function of the tooth and prevents tooth loss by stopping decay from progressing. With early intervention, decay treatment is an effective solution for healthier and longer-lasting teeth.
