All-on-4 vs All-on-6: Key Differences and Benefits
Price
- All-on-4 implants are more affordable than All-on-6 implants. All-on-4 implants can cost from €3,000 to €6,000 per arch (1)
- All-on-6 implants require more implants and more material, so they are more expensive. All-on-6 can cost from €8,000 to €15,000 per arch (2)
Stability and Lifespan
- Stabiliteti: All-on-6 implants are more stable with the extra two implants that distribute the load more evenly on the jawbone.
Good for patients with significant bone loss (3) - Durability: Both All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants are durable and long-lasting.
All-on-6 may have a slight edge in terms of lifespan with more implants (4)

Recovery
- Koha e rikuperimit: The recovery time for both All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants is similar; most patients can go back to normal activities in a few days.
All-on-6 may require a slightly longer healing time due to more surgical sites (5) - Recovery Process: Recovery involves taking pain medication, eating soft food and attending follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and integration of the implants.
Implant-Supported Dentures as an alternative
Snap-On Dentures
- Snap-On dentures are implant-supported dentures that provide a secure and comfortable fit.
They snap onto the implants and prevents the denture from shifting or falling out (7) - Avantazhet: Snap-On dentures are less invasive than fixed dental prostheses and more cost-effective.
They are also removable and can be cleaned easily to maintain oral hygiene (8)

Bar-Retained Dentures
- Bar-Retained Dentures involves a metal bar that is attached to the implants and supports the denture.
This type of denture is more stable and good for patients with significant bone loss (9) - Përfitimet: Bar-retained dentures can distribute the load more evenly on the jawbone, reducing the risk of implant failure.
They also look and feel natural; patient satisfaction is higher (10)
Price Benefits
- Price Comparison: Implant-supported dentures (Snap-On and Bar-Retained Dentures) can be more cost-effective than All-on-6 implants.
Implant-supported dentures can cost from €2,000 to €5,000 per arch, depending on the type and complexity of the procedure (5) - Long-term Savings: Although the initial cost of implant-supported dentures may be higher than traditional dentures, they can save you in the long run by reducing the need for frequent adjustments and replacements (6)

Full-Arch Bridge with 8 Implants
Advantages over All-on-6
- Stabiliteti: Full-arch bridges with 8 implants are more stable and durable than All-on-6 implants.
Good for patients with significant bone loss or those who need more support (1) - Long-term Success: Studies have shown that full-arch bridges with 8 implants have high long-term success.
For example, a systematic review found that the 10-year survival rate was 95.6% (10)
Long-term Success Rates
- Survival Rates: A longitudinal study found a 10-year survival rate of 93.8% for full-arch bridges with 8 implants (3)
- Shkalla e komplikimeve: The same study found that the complication rate was lower for these bridges compared to other implant-supported prostheses (4)
Periudha kohore | Norma e suksesit (%) |
---|---|
5 Years | 95.6% (10) |
10 Years | 93.8% (similar data found in references) |
15 Years | N/A (no data available) |
Traditional Dentures: A non-surgical alternative
Modern Denture Technologies
- New Materials: Modern denture technologies have introduced new materials such as high-impact acrylic and flexible denture bases that are more durable and comfortable (5)
- Digital Denture Design: Digital denture design provides a precise and personalized fit; patient satisfaction is higher and fewer adjustments needed (6)
Kosto-efektiviteti
- Price Comparison: Traditional dentures are more cost-effective than implant-supported dentures and full-arch bridges.
Traditional dentures can cost from €500 to €2,000 per arch depending on the complexity and quality of the denture (7) - Long-term Savings: Although traditional dentures require more frequent replacements and adjustments, they can save you in the long run by avoiding the high upfront cost of implant placement (8)
