All on 4/6 Systems

The All-on-4 / All-on-6 system is an advanced full-arch rehabilitation technique that replaces all missing teeth in one jaw using a fixed prosthesis supported by four or six strategically placed dental implants. It provides a stable, aesthetic, and long-term solution for patients with complete or severe tooth loss.

At City Clinic Marbella, we use state-of-the-art digital technology to restore complete dental function and aesthetics in a single surgical procedure.
In the All-on-4 technique, four implants are placed in key positions to support a full fixed bridge.
In All-on-6, six implants are used for enhanced stability, ideal for patients with sufficient bone density.

Both systems allow immediate loading, meaning a provisional fixed prosthesis is placed the same day as surgery — so patients leave with a new smile right away.

Indications

Total or advanced tooth loss.
Severe periodontal disease with mobility.
Dissatisfaction with removable dentures.
Desire for a fixed, durable, and aesthetic solution.
Bone loss limiting traditional implants

Causes

Periodontal disease.
Tooth decay or wear
Bone loss or long-term edentulism
Previous trauma or failed dental treatments
