All on 4/All on 6 Smile Makeover
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
The All on 4 and All on 6 smile makeovers are advanced dental procedures that provide a full-arch rehabilitation for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. These techniques involve strategically placing four or six dental implants into the jawbone to support a full set of prosthetic teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums and can be uncomfortable or unstable, the All on 4 and All on 6 procedures provide a secure, permanent solution that closely mimics the look and function of natural teeth.
In the All on 4 technique, four dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone—typically two in the front and two angled in the back to maximize contact with the bone. This method provides a solid foundation for a fixed dental prosthesis, offering the patient a full set of teeth that are stable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. The All on 6 approach follows a similar principle but uses six implants for additional stability, making it an ideal option for patients who have a denser bone structure or are seeking a more durable solution.
Both procedures are designed for patients who have lost a significant number of teeth, either due to trauma, decay, or periodontal disease. The end result is a natural-looking smile that allows patients to speak, eat, and smile confidently without the worry of dentures slipping or causing discomfort.
Procedure Duration
The All on 4 and All on 6 procedures are often categorized as "same-day smile" treatments because they can be completed within a single day in many cases. However, the overall process typically involves multiple phases, beginning with a comprehensive dental evaluation and imaging. During this assessment, a dentist evaluates the patient's oral health, bone structure, and suitability for the implants. This stage may take a few hours and is crucial to planning the optimal placement of the implants.
On the day of the procedure, the patient undergoes oral surgery to insert the implants into the jawbone. Under local or general anesthesia, the dentist places the four or six implants and then attaches a temporary prosthetic arch. This temporary set of teeth enables the patient to leave the clinic with a functional smile while the implants integrate with the bone over the next three to six months. During this healing period, the implants fuse with the jawbone through a process known as osseointegration, providing a strong and durable foundation for the final prosthesis.
Once the implants have fully integrated, a second appointment is scheduled to remove the temporary prosthetic and replace it with a permanent set of custom-made teeth. The permanent prosthesis is designed to match the patient's natural teeth in size, shape, and color, resulting in a beautiful and seamless smile. The recovery time post-procedure is generally minimal, with most patients returning to their daily activities within a few days.

Risks & Considerations
- Bone Density Issues: If a patient has insufficient jawbone density, additional procedures like bone grafting may be required before implants can be placed, extending the treatment timeline.
- Implant Failure: Although rare, there is a risk of implant failure due to infection, poor osseointegration, or excessive pressure on the implants.
- Surgical Complications: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of complications such as bleeding, swelling, or nerve damage, which should be closely monitored post-surgery.
- Prosthetic Wear & Tear: While the implants themselves are durable, the prosthetic teeth may need replacement or repair after several years of wear and use.
- Cost Considerations: The initial cost of an All on 4 or All on 6 procedure can be significant, though it is generally seen as a long-term investment due to its durability and functionality.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
Selecting the right provider for your All on 4 or All on 6 smile makeover is crucial for a successful outcome. Start by researching dental clinics and professionals who have extensive experience in performing these procedures. Look for clinics with positive patient reviews, accreditations, and proof of advanced training in implant dentistry. Ensure that the dentist uses high-quality materials for implants and prosthetics, as this will impact the longevity and appearance of your new smile.
It's also important to have a consultation before committing to the procedure. A good dentist will provide a thorough examination, detailed treatment plan, and clear information about the procedure, risks, recovery, and costs. Don't hesitate to ask questions about their experience with similar cases, the techniques they use, and their success rate with All on 4 and All on 6 procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
