What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium that’s placed into the jawbone (maxilla or mandible) to support crowns, bridges, or dentures. It recreates the function of a natural tooth root, providing long-term stability, chewing efficiency, and preservation of surrounding bone.

What is the All‑on‑X procedure?

All‑on‑X is a method that replaces a full dental arch using a small number of implants — typically 4 or 6 — as a stable foundation for a fixed prosthesis. Widely used implant systems include Straumann BLX® and Straumann Neodent®. The technique allows delivery of a fixed, fully functional and aesthetic set of teeth often within 24–48 hours.

All‑on‑X benefits

✓ Complete arch restoration in a single surgical protocol
✓ Stability and comfort similar to natural teeth
✓ Helps prevent bone loss (alveolar resorption)
✓ Immediate aesthetic and functional teeth (typically 24–48 hours)
✓ Long‑term durability when planned and maintained correctly

Is All‑on‑X right for you

All‑on‑X is a modern, reliable solution for most patients who have lost teeth or struggle with unstable removable dentures. A full clinical evaluation is required to determine suitability.

During the consultation the clinician will:

✓ Perform a 3D digital CBCT scan to assess bone volume and quality

✓ Review medical history and overall health

✓ Consider conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis, hypertension or autoimmune diseases

✓ Recommend the most appropriate implant system (Neodent or Straumann BLX®) based on clinical needs

✓ Explain each step of the treatment plan and timeline

The aim is to deliver a 100% safe, personalized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s general health.

Cases with reduced bone or controlled systemic conditions

Even with partial bone loss or well‑controlled medical conditions there are individualized solutions that can make the treatment safe and predictable. Your clinician will outline grafting or alternative protocols if needed.

Cost transparency and final prosthesis

From the first appointment you will receive a clear breakdown of the total cost, what each stage includes, and the expected time to the final prosthesis (zirconia or metal‑ceramic). This ensures no surprises and a clear roadmap from surgery to your final smile.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

1What is the difference between All‑on‑4 and All‑on‑6?
All‑on‑4 uses four implants, while All‑on‑6 uses six implants. All‑on‑6 distributes occlusal forces more evenly and may be recommended for patients with greater available bone, offering increased stability and long‑term durability.
2How long does the procedure take and when will I get my final teeth?
The surgical procedure typically takes 2–4 hours per arch on average.
Within the first 24–48 hours after implant placement you will receive a fixed provisional prosthesis so you can quickly regain your smile and chewing function. The final prosthesis (zirconia or metal‑ceramic) is made after the osseointegration period — the natural process by which implants fully integrate with the bone. This phase usually lasts about 3–6 months, though the exact timing depends on each patient’s individual healing and clinical situation.
3Is the All‑on‑X procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so pain during the surgery is minimal. After the operation you may experience mild discomfort, swelling or soreness, which is normally managed with pain medication, anti‑inflammatories and post‑op instructions provided by your clinician.
4What is the cost of an All‑on‑4/6 treatment?
The cost of an All‑on‑X treatment varies depending on the implant system chosen, the number of implants required, and the patient’s anatomical specifics. At our clinic, package prices include the main stages: implants, provisional prosthesis, and final fixed prosthesis (metal‑zirconia or full zirconia).

Package prices — All inclusive
All‑on‑4 with Neodent® implants: €6,500 / per arch — final prosthesis Full‑Zirconia
€5,500 / per arch — final prosthesis Metal‑Ceramic

All‑on‑6 with Neodent® implants:
€7,500 / per arch — final prosthesis Full‑Zirconia
€6,500 / per arch — final prosthesis Metal‑Ceramic

All‑on‑4 with Straumann® BLX implants:
€8,000 / per arch — final prosthesis Full‑Zirconia
€7,000 / per arch — final prosthesis Metal‑Ceramic

All‑on‑6 with Straumann® BLX implants:
€9,000 / per arch — final prosthesis Full‑Zirconia
€8,000 / per arch — final prosthesis Metal‑Ceramic

All All‑on‑X packages at Dr. Paul Bold Clinic in Timișoara include:
✓ The indicated dental implants (Neodent® or Straumann® BLX)
✓ Fixed provisional prosthesis, delivered within 24–48 hours
✓ Final fixed prosthesis (Metal‑Zirconia or Full‑Zirconia)
✓ Post‑treatment monitoring and follow‑up appointments

Important note ⚠
These prices apply to standard cases where implants can be placed directly and the site is suitably prepared. If additional preparatory procedures or bone augmentation are required, the cost may be adjusted; any additional steps and fees will be explained clearly and in detail during the initial consultation.
5Is a bone graft necessary?
Most patients do not require a bone graft. In certain cases — when bone volume or quality is insufficient — the clinician may recommend additional procedures (bone augmentation, grafting, or staged protocols) to ensure stable implant placement and long‑term success.
6How long do implants and the final prosthesis last?
Dental implants and final prosthetic restorations are designed to be long‑lasting solutions, but their lifespan depends on several factors, including:
✓ Oral hygiene and regular dental checkups
✓ Dietary habits and lifestyle
✓ Bone quality and the patient’s overall health
✓ Following the clinician’s post‑treatment recommendations

Clinical studies show that premium modern implants such as Straumann® and Neodent® have very high long‑term success rates, with durability demonstrated over decades under optimal conditions.

Final prostheses (metal‑zirconia or full‑zirconia) are also durable and designed to function for many years, but they may require adjustments or replacement over time depending on use and maintenance.

Dr. Paul Bold emphasizes quality, regular monitoring, and personalised recommendations to maximise the lifespan of both implants and final restorations.
7Warranty for implants and prosthetic work?
We cannot guarantee the performance of a medical device, however we provide attentive post‑treatment support and monitoring. Our team follows the healing process and the function of implants and prosthetic restorations, and any clinical adjustments or interventions that become necessary are carried out during the post‑treatment follow‑up period.
8How can I schedule a consultation?
Consultations can be scheduled by phone, email, or by filling out the form on our website. Our clinic team will guide you step by step and provide all the information you need for a personalised treatment plan.
