All-on-4in a single day.

All-on-4 is a protocol in which an entire arch of fixed teeth (12–14 teeth per jaw) is supported by only 4 implants. The two posterior implants are placed at an angle of 30–45° to avoid anatomical considerations (sinus, nerve) and to utilise the maximum amount of available bone. Conventional implants require 6–8 implants per jaw and often bone augmentation.

The All-on-4 price at Implantološki centar Smile starts from more competitive levels than in Zagreb, with the same material quality. The exact amount depends on the material of the final prosthetic construction (acrylic, hybrid, zirconia), the number of extractions required, and the need for any additional procedures. For a precise quote, we invite you to a complimentary consultation including a 3D CBCT scan.

In more than 90% of cases — YES. We use an immediate-load protocol whereby temporary fixed teeth are placed on the same day as the implants. The patient leaves the clinic with fixed teeth in place and can eat soft food as early as that same evening.

The greatest advantage of All-on-4 is precisely the avoidance of augmentation. The angulation of the posterior implants allows the use of existing bone. A CBCT analysis will reveal your specific case — in approximately 80% of patients, augmentation is not required.

Implant placement + temporary teeth: 2–4 hours under conscious sedation. Full rehabilitation (temporary → definitive zirconia restorations): 4–6 months, with only a few clinic visits.

We offer conscious sedation (the patient is relaxed but awake) and local anaesthesia — patients describe the sensation as a 'light sleep'. Following the procedure, we prescribe analgesics and antibiotics; typical recovery is 3–5 days with mild swelling.

All-on-6 uses 6 implants instead of 4, providing better distribution of chewing forces — we recommend it for patients with greater bone volume, pronounced bruxism, or when treating the upper jaw. Please see the comparative table above for details.

The literature reports a survival rate of >95% after 10 years, which we confirm in our own practice. The implants themselves, with proper hygiene and annual check-ups, last a lifetime. The zirconia superstructure is recommended to be renewed after 15–20 years.

We recommend abstaining from smoking for a minimum of 4 weeks following the procedure. Smoking reduces the osseointegration success rate by 15–20% — for All-on-4 patients, we strongly advise cessation or a significant reduction in consumption.

Implants: lifetime manufacturer's warranty. Definitive superstructure: 5-year warranty on materials and workmanship. All annual check-ups during the first year are included in the cost of the procedure.

Controlled diabetes (HbA1c < 7), moderate blood pressure and many other conditions are not absolute contraindications. Submitting your medical profile and blood test results is part of the consultation. Absolute contraindications: uncontrolled diabetes, active chemotherapy, severely poor oral hygiene.

Yes — we schedule appointments so that patients travelling from a distance can complete everything in 1–2 days. Bjelovar is 70 km from Zagreb (1 hour by motorway) and 100 km from Slavonski Brod. We also offer accommodation recommendations near the clinic.
