All-on-4 / All-on-6 Dental Implants in Marbella

All-on-4 is a way to support a fixed complete arch of replacement teeth on four implants. R&H assesses it for patients missing most or all teeth in an arch, or whose remaining teeth need a careful prognosis review.

The names refer to four or six supporting implants per treated arch. Both can support a fixed full-arch bridge; the choice depends on the planned restoration and clinical assessment, not a rule that four means removable and six means fixed.

No. One arch means the upper or lower set of teeth. Treating both jaws involves two arches, so R&H’s plan and quotation should state clearly whether the proposal concerns the upper jaw, lower jaw or both.

The fixed full-arch bridge described here stays in place for everyday use. It differs from an overdenture that a patient removes; ask the clinician to name the exact restoration in your plan so fixed and removable options are not confused.

No. In a full-arch plan, several implants support a connected bridge replacing the teeth across that arch. R&H explains the implant positions and restoration design during planning, rather than replacing every missing tooth with a separate implant.

No. The fixed bridge is supported by implants, while a conventional removable denture follows a different design. R&H’s consultation should compare suitable alternatives, including how they are supported, removed for care and maintained over time.

Yes, a plan may involve the upper or lower arch alone. The other arch still matters to bite planning, so R&H assesses how the replacement teeth will meet the existing teeth or restoration on the opposite side.

No. Same-day descriptions refer to provisional teeth for suitable patients, not completion of every treatment stage. The definitive bridge follows assessment of healing and the restorative plan; immediate temporary loading is not appropriate for everyone.

R&H’s published full-arch page identifies Dr Romero for All-on-4 and All-on-6 consultations. Ask who will lead surgery, restoration and follow-up in your case so you understand the responsibilities across the complete treatment sequence.

Compare the clinician’s relevant experience, diagnostic plan, alternatives, provisional and final teeth, written costs and maintenance. R&H’s assessment should explain the proposed arch or arches and what happens if the original immediate-teeth plan needs to change.

R&H considers patients with most or all teeth missing and selected cases with failing remaining teeth. Suitability depends on the examination, available bone, oral condition and overall treatment needs; it cannot be confirmed from the number of missing teeth alone.

That decision requires an individual prognosis assessment. Ask R&H which teeth can be maintained, why extraction is proposed for any others and how a tooth-preserving alternative compares before agreeing to a complete-arch replacement plan.

Yes. R&H’s full-arch information includes long-term denture wearers among patients considered for assessment. Existing dentures, available bone and the desired change need review so the plan reflects your current anatomy and practical expectations.

Not automatically, but it changes the assessment. R&H uses three-dimensional planning to examine the available anatomy and whether an appropriate implant approach is possible; severe bone loss should not be treated as either automatic eligibility or automatic exclusion.

No. Angled implant planning can make use of available bone in suitable cases, but R&H confirms the options after assessment and imaging. Ask whether grafting is proposed, why it is needed and how it changes the treatment sequence.

Not necessarily. More implants are not a substitute for a suitable overall design. R&H’s assessment considers anatomy, implant positions and the planned bridge so the recommendation explains why four, six or another option is appropriate for your case.

Active gum disease needs assessment and control within implant planning. R&H reviews the gums and overall oral condition before full-arch treatment, including what care the remaining teeth and tissues need before surgery is considered.

Full-arch treatment includes surgery and healing, so the assessment needs your health history and current medication list. Bring accurate details and ask R&H whether any additional medical information is needed before the treatment plan can be confirmed.

R&H’s full-arch page includes complex cases with failed previous work. Bring the available records and explain what happened; the assessment should identify the current problems and why a proposed new approach would address them.

Ask about maintaining treatable teeth, appropriate removable replacements and other implant-supported designs. R&H’s consultation should explain which alternatives are realistic for your anatomy and priorities, including the differences in surgery, daily care, stability and total treatment scope.

R&H describes a clinical review of teeth, gums, bite and bone, supported by three-dimensional imaging and digital planning. The aim is to establish suitable options, the restoration design, timing and a written cost breakdown before surgery.

R&H’s full-arch process uses a three-dimensional scan to assess bone and anatomical relationships relevant to implant placement. Ask the clinician to explain what the images show in your case and how those findings influence the proposed positions.

It allows R&H to plan implant positions in relation to the available anatomy and proposed teeth before surgery. The plan helps organise a complex treatment, but it does not replace clinical judgement or guarantee that no changes will be needed.

R&H describes using surgical guides in its full-arch planning workflow. A guide helps transfer planned positions to surgery; ask whether one is proposed for your case and how the surgeon will respond if the clinical findings require adjustment.

R&H’s source describes angling posterior implants to make use of available bone and account for nearby anatomical structures. Whether that approach is appropriate depends on your scan and the bridge design, rather than being a universal placement pattern.

It should be part of the restoration plan. R&H describes digital smile planning alongside implant assessment, so ask how tooth position, visible smile, proportions and the transition to the gums will be considered before the surgical stage.

The replacement bridge needs to be considered with the teeth or prosthesis it will meet. R&H reviews the bite during assessment, so the condition of the other arch matters even when only one jaw is being treated.

Photographs and old records may help orient a conversation, but full-arch planning needs clinical and anatomical assessment. R&H’s published process includes examination and three-dimensional records before confirming implant positions, restoration scope and the definitive quotation.

It should identify both stages separately, including the proposed bridge type, whether immediate provisional fitting is conditional and when the final restoration will be considered. Ask R&H what alternative is planned if immediate fixed teeth are unsuitable.

Bring relevant dental records, information about previous implants or dentures, your medication list and the concerns that matter most to you. Share travel constraints early so R&H can discuss whether the required stages fit your availability.

The agreed procedure may include extraction of teeth that cannot be maintained, implant placement and a provisional restoration if the conditions allow. R&H should explain your exact sequence beforehand, including the fallback plan if immediate fixed loading is unsuitable.

R&H’s published process describes local anaesthesia and discussion of conscious sedation where appropriate. Confirm the comfort plan with the treating team, including any preparation and aftercare instructions that apply to the option actually arranged for you.

Yes. Tell R&H about your anxiety and previous dental experiences during planning. The published service mentions conscious sedation, but suitability and arrangements need confirmation; ask what it involves and how it changes preparation and recovery instructions.

R&H publishes an approximate surgical duration per arch, but actual timing depends on the agreed procedures and complexity. Ask for the expected whole appointment, including preparation and the provisional stage, rather than treating an estimate as a guarantee.

No. Immediate fixed provisional teeth depend on patient selection and sufficient implant stability. Ask R&H to explain the alternative temporary arrangement before surgery so you understand what happens if the required conditions are not achieved.

They are a temporary bridge used during the healing and planning period when appropriate. R&H distinguishes this restoration from the final bridge; it provides an interim smile but comes with specific care and eating instructions while treatment continues.

No. R&H’s recovery guidance recommends a softer diet and staged progression while implants heal. A fixed provisional bridge should not be interpreted as permission for unrestricted chewing; follow the instructions given for your own restoration and healing stage.

The appropriate temporary solution must be agreed with the implant team as part of your plan. Ask how you will manage appearance and function while healing continues, rather than discovering after surgery that the same-day proposal was conditional.

That is an individual planning decision, not an assumption attached to the All-on-4 name. R&H should explain whether your two-arch case is staged or combined, considering the surgical and restorative sequence and the support you will need afterwards.

Ask for written guidance on the planned recovery, diet, cleaning, prescribed medication and contact arrangements. R&H’s full-arch process includes monitoring, so you should also know your first review date and which concerns need earlier contact.

It is the healing process in which bone forms a connection with the implant surface. R&H allows a monitored healing period before completing the definitive restoration, so the final stage depends on clinical progress rather than the calendar alone.

R&H describes a healing period measured in months, followed by records and fabrication for the definitive bridge. Your clinician should confirm the expected sequence and review progress; a published range is not a fixed completion date for every patient.

R&H uses reviews to monitor healing and the temporary restoration before progressing to final teeth. These appointments help the team assess how the plan is developing and update your instructions rather than assuming the initial timetable remains appropriate.

Follow R&H’s case-specific soft-food guidance and the progression advised at reviews. The published page describes a gradual return to firmer foods, but the appropriate pace depends on the provisional restoration and your healing progress.

The implant team should guide that change after reviewing healing and the provisional bridge. R&H’s published timelines are orientation, not permission to advance your diet independently; ask specifically which foods and chewing loads are appropriate at your stage.

The final bridge is made as the planned long-term restoration after the healing stage, with its definitive materials and detailed fit. R&H treats it as a separate prosthetic stage, so the quotation should distinguish what each restoration includes.

R&H’s page describes options including zirconia and titanium-framework restorations with ceramic teeth. Ask which material and construction are proposed for you, why they suit the plan and what maintenance or repair implications should be considered.

R&H describes planning tooth shape, colour and individual ceramic detail for the final bridge. The discussion should also consider tooth display and the wider smile, so ask how the provisional experience will inform the definitive design.

Yes. Explain concerns about appearance, speech or comfort during the provisional period. R&H’s staged process separates temporary and definitive restorations, giving the team information to consider when the final bridge is designed and assessed.

The team needs to reassess and explain any change to the plan. Ask how that could affect provisional care, further appointments and costs; the final bridge should follow clinical readiness rather than being fitted simply to meet a travel deadline.

Yes. The implants, surrounding tissues and bridge need ongoing care. Ask R&H to demonstrate cleaning for the exact design, including access around and beneath the restoration, and provide instructions you can realistically follow at home.

R&H’s published page specifies regular maintenance and more frequent care for periodontal patients. Confirm the schedule for your case and the current written guarantee conditions, rather than assuming the bridge removes the need for continuing dental visits.

Contact the clinic for assessment rather than waiting for the next routine review. Bleeding, swelling or a persistent bad taste can indicate a problem around implants; early assessment helps establish the cause and appropriate care.

Contact R&H promptly and describe the movement or change in bite. The bridge and implant components need professional assessment; do not try to tighten or repair the restoration yourself or assume the sensation is a normal adjustment.

No clinical outcome is certain for life. R&H has a written guarantee framework, but the implant, bridge and maintenance responsibilities should be distinguished; read the current terms rather than interpreting a policy label as freedom from future care or repairs.

R&H publishes starting figures for different arch and restoration stages. Request a current written quotation after assessment, clearly stating one arch or both, provisional and definitive teeth, implant numbers and any additional procedures included in the total.

R&H’s published service mentions financing, subject to current arrangements and eligibility. Ask for written terms once the complete treatment scope is clear, and compare the total repayment as well as monthly instalments and any costs outside the financed plan.

Travel planning must allow for assessment, surgery, healing reviews and the definitive restoration stage. Agree the required visits and contingency arrangements with R&H before booking; temporary teeth on a surgery day do not mean the full treatment is finished.

Confirm why the approach is suitable, which teeth are retained or removed, the arch or arches treated, temporary alternatives, final bridge, full costs and maintenance. Ask R&H to explain unresolved decisions so you can consent to a defined treatment sequence.
