How Many Appointments Does It Take for Allon-4, All-on-6 and Teeth in a Day Dental Implants?

The answer depends on your individual treatment plan, but most All-on-4, All-on-6 and Teeth in a Day implant treatments follow a structured journey involving approximately four key appointments.

At Maypark Dental in Dublin, we carefully plan every stage of your treatment using advanced digital technology. From your first consultation to your final fixed teeth, your treatment is carried out by the same experienced implant dentist, ensuring continuity, precision and personalised care.

Patients travel from across Ireland to Maypark Dental for full-mouth implant solutions because they want a predictable treatment journey, clear communication and a team they can trust.

In this guide, we explain exactly what happens at each appointment.

Quick Answer: How Many Appointments Are Needed for All-on-4?

For most patients, the All-on-4 or All-on-6 dental implant journey involves:

✔ Suitability assessment ✔ CBCT scan ✔ Digital intraoral scan ✔ Smile analysis ✔ Treatment planning

✔ Implant placement ✔ Local anaesthetic and sedation options ✔ Temporary fixed teeth fitted

Appointment 3: Digital Scan for Your Permanent Teeth ✔ Temporary teeth removed ✔ Implant assessment ✔ Digital scan taken ✔ Design of final bridge

✔ Permanent bridge fitted ✔ Bite checked ✔ Smile refined

Your first appointment is the foundation of your entire smile transformation.

Before placing implants, we need to carefully assess whether you are a suitable candidate for All-on-4, All-on-6 or Teeth in a Day dental implants.

During this appointment, we carry out a comprehensive assessment including:

We discuss:

• Your current dental concerns • Missing or failing teeth • Denture problems • Your expectations and goals • Previous dental experiences • Your medical history

This appointment is also your opportunity to ask questions about:

• Implant treatment • Recovery • Costs • Payment options • Expected results

A 3D CBCT scan is one of the most important parts of implant planning.

It allows us to assess:

• Available bone volume • Bone quality • Nerve positions • Sinus location • Implant placement options This detailed information helps us determine whether All-on-4, All-on-6 or another implant solution is the best option for you.

Instead of traditional impressions, we use a digital scanner to create an accurate 3D model of your mouth.

This helps us plan:

• Implant position • Temporary teeth • Final bridge design • Your future smile

Your new smile should not only function well—it should look natural and complement your face.

We take detailed photographs to analyse:

• Tooth proportions • Smile line • Facial aesthetics• Lip support • Existing tooth appearance

This allows us to design teeth that look natural and personalised.

First Set of Teeth

Once your treatment has been planned, your next appointment is the surgical stage. This is when your implants are placed.

During your surgery appointment:

• Any failing teeth are removed if required • Dental implants are carefully placed • The procedure is completed under local anaesthetic For nervous patients, sedation options are available to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

One of the biggest advantages of modern implant dentistry is that suitable patients can often receive temporary fixed teeth on the same day as implant placement.

This means you can leave with:

✔ A new smile ✔ Fixed temporary teeth ✔ Improved confidence ✔ No need for removable dentures

These temporary teeth allow you to smile and function while your implants heal.

After the healing period, usually around 3–6 months, your implants are ready for the next stage.

At this appointment:

• Temporary teeth are removed • Implants are checked • A digital scan is taken • Your final teeth are designed The digital scan allows us to create your permanent bridge with precise:

• Shape • Colour • Bite • Function • Aesthetics

Your permanent teeth are not simply replacement teeth—they are designed around you.

We consider: • Your facial features • Your smile goals • Your bite • Your natural appearance The aim is to create teeth that look natural and feel comfortable.

This is the appointment many patients look forward to the most.

Your final fixed bridge is fitted onto your implants.

During this appointment, we check:

✔ Comfort ✔ Bite ✔ Speech ✔ Tooth appearance ✔ Smile aesthetics

Any small adjustments are made to ensure your new teeth feel natural.

This is the moment your complete smile transformation is revealed.

Although the number of appointments is relatively small, the complete process takes time because your implants need to integrate with your jawbone.

The appointment structure is very similar for:

Four implants support a full arch of fixed teeth.

Benefits:

• Less invasive approach • Often suitable with reduced bone • Avoids removable dentures • Excellent stability

Six implants support a full arch.

Benefits:

• Additional implant support • Greater distribution of biting forces • Suitable for certain patients with adequate bone

"Teeth in a Day" refers to receiving temporary fixed teeth shortly after implant placement.

It does not mean your final teeth are completed in one day—the permanent bridge is fitted after the healing period.

Most patients require approximately four main appointments: consultation, implant surgery, digital scan for final teeth, and final teeth fitting.

Suitable patients may receive temporary fixed teeth on the day of implant placement.

No. The implants are placed on the surgery day, but your permanent teeth are fitted after the healing period.

Usually after approximately 3–6 months, once the implants have successfully integrated.

Sedation is optional and available for patients who feel anxious or would like extra comfort during treatment.
