Quick Summary

All-on-4 & All-on-6 Dental Implants replace an entire arch of missing or failing teeth using 4 or 6 titanium implants. By slanting the posterior implants at a 45-degree angle into dense anterior bone, this treatment often eliminates the need for expensive bone grafting and allows patients to receive fixed temporary teeth on the same day as surgery ("Teeth in a Day").

Transforming Full Arch Tooth Loss in Satara

For decades, patients missing all teeth in an upper or lower jaw had no choice but removable dentures. Loose dentures often slip while talking, cause painful gum sores, cover the palate impairing taste, and restore less than 20% of chewing efficiency. Over time, dentures accelerate jawbone loss.

The All-on-4 protocol revolutionized full mouth rehabilitation. Under the periodontal expertise of Dr. Dilip Khambete MDS, 4 to 6 titanium implants are anchored into dense jawbone. A full-arch fixed bridge is then secured on top, restoring 100% natural chewing force, aesthetics, and confidence.

Key Advantages of All-on-4 & All-on-6

  • Fixed Permanent Bridge: Does not slip, click, or come out at night.
  • Avoid Bone Grafting: Tilted rear implants utilize maximum available bone.
  • Teeth in a Day: Immediate functional teeth attached on surgical day.
  • Uncovered Palate: Enables full taste sensation and natural speech.

No. All-on-4 bridges are permanently fixed in place and can only be removed by your dentist during routine hygiene maintenance. You brush and care for them just like natural teeth.
