Implants for Complete Tooth Loss On Obolon
What it is
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are ways to restore all the teeth in a jaw with a fixed prosthesis screwed onto 4 or 6 implants. There is no implant under every tooth: the whole row of teeth rests on a few supports, so treatment is shorter and the surgery smaller.
At VILIDA in Obolon, Kyiv, implant treatment for complete tooth loss is planned from a CT scan taken right here in the clinic: the dentist sees how much bone there is and decides how many implants are needed and whether bone grafting can be avoided. Implant systems and prices are on the Dental Implants page, crowns and bridges on implants on the Implant-Supported Prosthetics page.

All‑on‑4 or All‑on‑6: what is the difference
| Criterion | All-on-4 | All-on-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Implants | 4: two straight at the front, two tilted at the back | 6, evenly along the jaw |
| Bone | Tilted implants bypass areas with little bone — often without grafting | Enough bone is needed along the whole arch |
| Load | The prosthesis rests on 4 supports | The load is spread over 6 supports |
| Price | Fewer implants — lower cost | Two implants more expensive |
The implantologist decides which suits you from the CT scan: how much bone the jaw has, how dense it is and where the sinus and nerve run.
How much All‑on‑4 and All‑on‑6 cost
The price is made up of the implants — from 13 000 UAH each, with systems and prices on the Dental Implants page — and the full-arch prosthesis. The final amount depends on how many implants are needed, which system is chosen, whether bone grafting is required and which prosthesis is fitted. The dentist draws up an exact estimate at the consultation after the CT scan.
Who it suits
Suits you if
- there are no teeth left in the jaw
- the remaining teeth are loose and need to be removed
- a removable denture does not stay in place or rubs
- you want fixed teeth without an implant under each one
Preparation is needed first if
- there is too little bone even for tilted implants
- the gums are inflamed — they are treated before surgery
- you have chronic conditions — the plan is agreed with your doctor
When there is too little bone
Bone volume is restored with bone grafting, and in the upper jaw with a sinus lift. Another option for severe bone loss is an overdenture on two implants.
Implant prosthesis or complete removable denture
| Criterion | Fixed on implants | Complete removable denture |
|---|---|---|
| How it stays in | Screwed to the implants, does not move | Held by suction and adhesive cream, may shift |
| Palate | The upper prosthesis leaves the palate open | The upper denture covers the palate — taste and speech suffer |
| Bone | Implants load the bone, so it is better preserved | The bone under the denture gradually shrinks, and the denture needs relining |
| Daily care | Cleaned in the mouth, only the dentist removes it | Taken out and cleaned every day |
| Price | Higher: surgery, implants and prosthesis | Lower, no surgery |
Stages of All‑on‑4 and All‑on‑6 treatment
-
Consultation and CT
The dentist examines the jaws, takes a CT scan and makes a plan: how many implants, where they will go and whether preparation is needed.
-
Surgery
Under local anaesthetic the remaining teeth are removed and 4 or 6 implants are placed.
-
Temporary prosthesis
If the implants are stable, a temporary fixed prosthesis is attached right after surgery, so you are never without teeth.
-
Healing
The implants fuse with the bone. You wear the temporary prosthesis and come for check-ups.
-
Permanent prosthesis
A scan is taken, the permanent prosthesis is made and screwed in place of the temporary one.
Temporary and permanent prosthesis
-
Temporary
A light prosthesis for the healing period: you are not left without teeth, and the implants get a gentle load. Hard food is limited during this time.
-
Permanent
A stronger, more precisely fitted prosthesis. It is screwed in, so the dentist can remove it for professional cleaning while you never need to take it out.
Before and after All‑on‑4 and All‑on‑6
Caring for an implant prosthesis
The prosthesis is not taken out at night, so it is cleaned in the mouth — as carefully as your own teeth:
- a toothbrush twice a day and a water flosser to wash food out from under the prosthesis;
- do not bite on hard things — nuts, ice, fruit stones: the facing of the prosthesis may chip;
- twice a year — a check-up and professional hygiene: if needed, the dentist removes the prosthesis and cleans the implants.
Who does All-on-4 and All-on-6 treatment
Questions and answers
How much does All-on-4 cost?
The price is made up of the implants — from 13 000 UAH each — and the full-arch prosthesis. The dentist determines how many implants and which prosthesis you need from the CT scan and then gives the exact amount.
Which is better: All-on-4 or All-on-6?
Both give fixed teeth for the whole jaw. All-on-4 is more often chosen when there is little bone, All-on-6 when there is enough bone and you want the load spread over more supports. The decision is made from the CT scan.
How many implants are needed if there are no teeth at all?
For a fixed prosthesis — 4 or 6 per jaw. An overdenture rests on two implants.
Can implants be placed if the teeth were lost long ago?
Often, yes. When the bone has shrunk, the tilted implants of All-on-4 bypass the areas where there is little of it. If that is not enough, the bone is rebuilt with grafting or a sinus lift.
Will I have to go without teeth?
No, if the implants are stable: a temporary fixed prosthesis can be fitted right after surgery — by arrangement with the dentist.
Does All-on-4 surgery hurt?
The surgery is done under local anaesthetic, so it does not hurt during the procedure. For a few days afterwards there may be swelling and tenderness — the dentist will tell you which painkillers to take.
Can I take the prosthesis out myself?
No, the prosthesis is screwed to the implants. Only the dentist removes it — for professional cleaning or repair.
How long does an implant prosthesis last?
With good care, implants last for decades; the prosthesis may be renewed over time. The clinic’s warranty on implants and prosthetics is 1 year.
Implantologist consultation
The dentist will review your CT scan, tell you whether All-on-4 or All-on-6 suits you and prepare an estimate. CT scans are done right here, in Obolon.
