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

All-on-4 is a full-arch implant treatment for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, or whose remaining teeth are failing and need to be replaced. Instead of replacing each tooth one by one, we place 4 implants to support a fixed bridge, giving you a full set of non-removable teeth. For many people searching all-on-4 Marbella, the main attraction is moving away from unstable dentures and towards something fixed, secure, and much closer to natural teeth in both comfort and function. 

The principle is the same, but All-on-4 uses 4 implants per arch, and is typically used for a removable overdenture, while all-on-6 uses 6 and is suitable for a fixed, full arch bridge. The extra implants can provide additional support and distribute bite forces more widely, which can be especially helpful in certain upper-jaw cases or in patients who want maximum long-term stability. The right option depends on your bone quality, anatomy, and the overall treatment plan we create after your scan and assessment. 

We begin with a full assessment that includes a 3D CBCT scan, digital planning, and a detailed review of your bone, gums, bite, and overall oral condition. We use this stage to work out implant positions, assess whether grafting can be avoided, discuss timings, and give you a clear cost breakdown. For patients considering all-on-4 or all-on-6 in Marbella, this planning stage is essential because it allows us to design the treatment around your case rather than trying to force your case into a standard template. 

We use 3D planning to position the implants before surgery even begins. In many full-arch cases, the posterior implants are angled strategically to engage more available bone while avoiding sensitive structures such as nerves and sinuses, and we then use guided surgical templates to place them accurately. This helps improve precision, stability, and predictability in a treatment that is naturally more complex than replacing a single missing tooth. 

In many cases, yes. One of the major advantages of this treatment is the teeth-in-a-day concept, where we place the implants and attach a fixed provisional bridge within hours. That means you can leave our clinic with a full set of functioning teeth on the same day, rather than spending months with removable teeth or visible gaps during the healing phase. 

On surgery day, we gently remove any remaining failing teeth if needed, place the implants using our 3D-guided surgical plan, and then fit a fixed provisional bridge. Our posterior implants are often angled to maximise bone contact and avoid nerves and sinuses, and the whole process is designed to be as precise and efficient as possible. We guide you carefully through the day so you know exactly what to expect before, during, and after treatment. 

The surgical phase typically takes around 2–3 hours per arch under local anaesthetic or conscious sedation. Exact timing depends on the complexity of the case, whether teeth need to be removed, and the final treatment plan, but that gives most patients a realistic sense of what the day usually involves. 

Same-day provisional teeth are a temporary full-arch bridge that we attach shortly after placing the implants. They are fixed and non-removable, so they stay in place while the implants heal, and they allow you to smile, speak, and eat soft foods from day one. They are not your final bridge, but they do give you an immediate aesthetic and functional result during the healing phase, which is a major relief for many patients. 

After surgery, the implants typically need around 3–6 months to integrate properly with the bone. During that time, you wear your provisional bridge while we monitor healing and stability at review appointments. Once everything is progressing well and the implants are fully integrated, we replace the temporary bridge with the definitive final bridge designed for long-term function and aesthetics. 

In the early stage, we recommend a softer diet so the implants and provisional bridge are not overloaded while healing begins. You can usually eat soft foods from day one, and then gradually reintroduce firmer foods as healing progresses and as we advise you at your review appointments. Following those instructions carefully is an important part of protecting the implants during the integration phase. 

Not always, but one of the major advantages of the All-on-4 concept is that it can often make use of available bone very efficiently, especially by angling the back implants. That means many patients who are not ideal candidates for more conventional implant placement may still be good candidates for the all-on-4 Marbella treatment. We only confirm that properly after your scan, because the decision needs to be based on your actual anatomy rather than assumptions. 

Our current pricing is All-on-4 single arch provisional from 8,500€, All-on-4 single arch definitive from 12,000€, All-on-6 single arch definitive from 15,000€, both arches from 22,000€, and consultation plus 3D scan free. These are starting figures, and the final quotation depends on the restorative design, materials, and whether any additional procedures are needed. We believe in being transparent about pricing while still making sure each quote reflects the real clinical requirements of the case. 

Because full-arch implant treatment is highly individual. The final cost depends on your bone condition, whether extractions are needed, the implant plan, the type of provisional and definitive bridge, and whether anything extra such as grafting is required. That is why we always assess each all-on-6 Marbella or all-on-4 Marbella case carefully before confirming a final figure. It is the only way to quote properly and responsibly. 

Yes. All treatments, including All-on-4 and All-on-6, sit within our written guarantee framework, and our implant category sits in the lifetime section of the guarantee summary. As with any guarantee, the conditions matter, especially regular 6-monthly reviews and maintenance cleanings at our clinic. We prefer patients to understand those conditions clearly from the outset so there are no surprises later. 

Long-term success depends on ongoing maintenance. We require regular check-ups and maintenance cleanings every 6 months at our clinic, or every 3 months for periodontal patients, and that routine is not just good practice, it is also a core condition of keeping the guarantee valid. Full-arch implant treatment can be transformative, but it still needs to be looked after properly over time.
