All-on-X is the placement of a fixed full-arch prosthesis on 4 (All-on-4) or 6 (All-on-6) implants in one jaw, for people who have lost all their teeth or are about to lose them. Treatment is planned on 3D CBCT imaging; in suitable cases a provisional fixed prosthesis can be fitted at an early stage. Because this is a surgical procedure, suitability is confirmed only after an examination and a CBCT scan.
Every treatment begins with a consultation and examination — no plan or price is confirmed before that.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are ways of supporting a fixed prosthesis on a small number of implants (4 or 6) when all the teeth in a jaw are missing. Instead of a removable denture, the aim is a solution that stays fixed in the mouth. If you are missing one or a few teeth, see our Dental Implants page.
In a systematic review of the All-on-4 concept (Patzelt et al., Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research, 2014), implant survival was very high in the first years (up to three years of follow-up); longer-term data are more limited. Results vary from person to person; suitability is confirmed only by an examination and 3D CBCT imaging.
Whether All-on-4 or All-on-6 is right for you is not promised in advance. The condition of your jaw bone and your chewing needs are assessed on 3D CBCT imaging, and the plan is built for your individual case.
The points below are general guidance; suitability is confirmed only by an examination and a CBCT scan.
When all the teeth are missing there are two main approaches; the real difference is whether the prosthesis is fixed to the jaw.
In full-mouth cases the conventional method is the complete denture (commonly known as false teeth) — a removable prosthesis that rests on the jaw. The current approach is the implant-supported fixed prosthesis (All-on-4 / All-on-6): the prosthesis is fixed onto implants placed in the jaw and stays in the mouth permanently. That said, where jaw bone is insufficient, where surgery may carry a general-health risk, or for economic reasons, the complete denture also remains an appropriate option at our clinic. Which method fits your case is assessed together after an examination and 3D CBCT imaging.
| Feature | current approach All-on-X (Implant-Supported Fixed) | Conventional Complete Denture |
|---|---|---|
| Stability | Fixed to the jaw | Removable, can shift |
| Chewing power | Close to natural | Limited |
| Jaw bone | Preserved / stimulated | Resorption can continue over time |
| Applicability | Where bone and general health allow | An alternative where bone is insufficient / surgery carries risk / for economic reasons |
An implant-supported fixed prosthesis (All-on-4 / All-on-6) stands out for comfort and chewing in many cases; but where bone is insufficient, general health carries risk, or economics matter, a complete denture is also a sound solution. Which one you receive is not promised in advance; the decision is made individually after 3D CBCT imaging and an examination. Our aim is to plan what you genuinely need — not what you want to hear.
The steps below show the general flow; timing and stages can vary from person to person.
Review of your overall situation and your expectations.
Bone analysis, nerve canals and the planning of implant angles.
The implants are placed under local anaesthesia.
In suitable cases, a provisional fixed prosthesis is fitted at an early stage.
After healing (osseointegration), the final fixed prosthesis is fitted.
Because 3D CBCT imaging is available in-house, in suitable cases the path from planning to treatment is kept short and predictable. The flow below is a general example; timing varies from person to person.
In suitable cases, many patients return to daily life within a few days, initially with fixed provisional teeth. After the permanent prosthesis — usually around three months — most patients regain comfortable eating and chewing. Timing and outcomes vary from person to person.
With planned treatment, post-operative swelling and sensitivity are usually mild and are managed with the aftercare your dentist recommends. Long service depends on regular oral hygiene and clinical check-ups.
Regular, correct cleaning helps the fixed prosthesis stay in service for the long term.
Periodic check-ups allow the condition of the implants and the prosthesis to be monitored.
Implant support also helps slow down the loss of jaw bone.
We share before-and-after images of selected All-on-X cases treated at our clinic only with the patient's explicit consent, and solely for information.
The results of any surgical or interventional procedure can vary from person to person. You are encouraged to seek a detailed opinion from your dentist before treatment. Images are published only with the patient's explicit consent and where the legal conditions are met (same setting/technique, no make-up or filters, for information purposes).
All Results →We work with three implant tiers — Essential, Select and Reserve. The tier is the only thing that changes between our price levels; the zirconia crown is the same on each. Every system below is named in your written treatment plan, so any dentist can identify it in the years ahead.
Founded in Curitiba, Brazil in 1993 and a wholly owned part of the Straumann Group since 2015. We place the GM Helix line.
Osstem Implant Co. was founded in Seoul, South Korea in 1997. We place the TS III and TS IV lines.
Medentika GmbH was founded in Hügelsheim, Germany in 2005 and is part of the Straumann Group. We place the Quattrocone line.
Institut Straumann AG was founded in Basel in 1954 and manufactures its implants in Villeret, Switzerland. Depending on the case we place the BLC, BLX or Tissue Level line.
Every case is different, so the figures below are guide prices per unit — not a quote. What you pay in total depends on your clinical findings, how many units are involved, and the materials selected for your case.
Our prices are set in euro; £ and $ are guide conversions at the European Central Bank rate of 25 September 2026, rounded.
| Implant surgery | Essential Neodent / Osstem | Select Medentika | Reserve Straumann |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-on-4 — 4 implants + abutments (per jaw) | £1,450 | £1,890 | £3,100 |
| All-on-6 — 6 implants + abutments (per jaw) | £2,170 | £2,840 | £4,650 |
Implant and abutment only. The prosthetic part (crown or bridge) is priced separately below, and the package total is shown underneath.
| Prosthetics & restorations (same in every tier) | Price |
|---|---|
| Fixed full-arch zirconia bridge with Ti-bar (12 units) (per jaw) | £2,150 |
| Package total (surgery + prosthetics) | Essential Neodent / Osstem | Select Medentika | Reserve Straumann |

| All-on-4 complete (implants + fixed bridge) (per jaw) | £3,600 | £4,040 | £5,250 |
| All-on-6 complete (implants + fixed bridge) (per jaw) | £4,320 | £4,990 | £6,800 |
Prices are approximate. Your exact figure is confirmed only in the written, itemised plan you receive after an in-person examination — that plan is the document that governs.
The crown on every tier is made from monolithic multilayer zirconia: a CE-marked block from a manufacturer based in the EU, Japan or the USA, and the same material whichever tier you choose. The exact brand is named in your written treatment plan, and the block lot number is recorded in your patient file.
