All on 4 Implants vs. All on 6 and All on 8

The video shows a leading dental specialist discussing all on 4 dental implants in Cancun, Mexico. He also discusses how all-on-4, all-on-6, and all-on-8 dental implants can be used for full mouth restoration.

Narration: “The all-on-4 procedure is a procedure that was started Dr Paulo Malo in Portugal and basically he was talking about with four implants being able to load a full arch of teeth.

The concept…it does work but sometimes something can go wrong, there’s always a percentage. We have 98 percent of success with implants but if the patient that is seeking a full arch with all-on-4 falls within that 2 percent of implants that fail.

That’s why we call it all-on-4 or nothing on three meaning that with three implants a patient cannot have a fully loaded arch.

So in our mind, in our way of doing things we like to have at least five implants on the lower if possible, if not 6 because on the lower mandible it’s a lot, the success rate of implants is between the mental... front part of the mental is very high because the quality of the bone is excellent there usually, 1 or 2 type bone meaning very strong bone.

We like to place those two implants, if possible, further back. This allows us to distribute the forces in a much better way.

On the upper, the upper maxilla is a completely another story, upper maxilla is type 3 or 4 bone meaning it’s soft bone. So, of course, if you’re gonna cement a house in a muddy place you wanna have lots of support, right?

It is exactly the same story with implants. If you’re placing the implants in a very soft bone you wanna have more implants to get you the in order to distribute the force between those implants.

So, in our practice we almost or I could say, never load full arch in 4 implants on the upper. We do at least 6 or if possible 8.

And this will allow us to have ability in case something goes wrong with that implant, that can always happen, we can still deliver the patient the type of prosthesis they’re seeking for. A fully attached implant prosthesis that is fixed and not removable in your mouth.”

Nearly 3 million Americans have implants and the number is increasing by 500,000 annually^[2]

What are All-on-4 Implants?

• The all-on-four treatment concept is a full-arch rehabilitative solution.
• The treatment involves placing two straight implants in the anterior portion of the jaw and two implants slanting up to 45 degree angle in the posterior.
• The placement of the implants towards the rear at this angle dispenses the need for bone grafting as it makes it possible to utilize the existing bone.
• A fixed temporary bridge can be placed over the four implants in case of patients who make good candidates for immediate load implants

Americans and Canadians, dissuaded by high cost of dental care, are embracing dental tourism in Mexico like never before. They are crossing borders to Cancun, Tijuana or Los Algodones to get their teeth fixed over the weekend without breaking the bank.

All on Four Implants - Advantages

Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

High Success Rates

As per Raikar S and colleagues, dental implants have a success rate of 90–95% over a 10-year time period.^[3]

Restoration of Full Arch

They are used to restore the complete arch in the upper and lower jaw with dentures/bridges atop four implants.

Easy Cleaning Routine

They do not have to be taken out while cleaning or brushing. They can be cleaned just like natural teeth.

Freedom from Dentures

Unlike dentures, which require adhesives to stay in place, dental implants do not require any adhesives. They are surgically placed in the jawbone.

Restoration of Self-Esteem and Confidence

Dental implants allow you to eat, laugh and smile without any apprehension. Because they are inserted in to the jawbone, there is no fear them falling while talking or laughing.

The Cancun clinic under our network is quite popular for low-cost teeth implants in Mexico.
