A full arch of fixed teeth on four or six implants
Full Arch Dental Implants
A Permanent, Precisely Planned Solution
Designed for you if you want to make the right decision once and for all.
- 01The available approaches include All-on-4, All-on-6, an implant-retained removable prosthesis, and a fixed full-arch reconstruction carried out in several stages.
- 02The appropriate option is selected according to your available bone, bite, facial proportions, restorative space, cleaning access and long-term priorities.
- 03Three-dimensional imaging and digital planning help coordinate implant placement with the intended position, appearance and function of your future teeth.
- 04A temporary fixed restoration may sometimes be fitted soon after implant placement when implant stability and the wider clinical conditions support immediate loading.
- 05The definitive restoration is individually designed around your smile, speech, bite, facial proportions and daily hygiene requirements.
- 06The treatment follows a clearly defined sequence: assessment and 3D imaging, digital planning, implant placement using a surgical guide according to the treatment plan established beforehand, healing, and placement of the custom-made definitive prosthetic restoration.
- 07The expected cost is approximately €700 to €900 per implant, with a complete treatment estimate provided after your clinical and digital assessment.
If you've been living with missing teeth, failing teeth, or removable dentures for some time, you already know the daily cost of that situation. Not just physically, but in confidence, in comfort, in the small moments you avoid without realising it.
Dr. Alex Fneiche approaches full arch implant treatment as a structured reconstruction rather than a single procedure. Your bone, bite, facial proportions, remaining teeth, cleaning access and long-term expectations are evaluated together before a treatment recommendation is made.
Digital diagnostics and three-dimensional planning are integral to this process. They allow the position of the implants and the design of the future teeth to be considered as parts of the same plan.
The objective is straightforward: to give you a clear understanding of your options and a treatment sequence you can evaluate before deciding whether to proceed.
When Full Arch Implants May Be Considered
A full arch assessment may be relevant when you:
Have lost most or all teeth in one jaw
Have several teeth with an uncertain long-term prognosis
Regularly experience movement or instability from a removable denture
Want to understand whether fixed teeth are clinically realistic
Find that chewing has become restricted
Are considering repeated individual repairs versus one coordinated reconstruction
Want a treatment plan based on long-term function and maintenance
Prefer to understand the complete sequence before making a decision
No treatment route is selected from symptoms or photographs alone. The first objective is to determine what foundation your mouth can support and which solution remains manageable over time.
Your Full Arch Treatment Options
Fixed Full Arch Restoration Supported by Four Implants
This approach uses four strategically positioned implants to support a fixed bridge across the complete arch. It is often referred to as an All-on-4 treatment concept.
Potential advantages include:
- A fixed restoration with no need for daily removal
- Fewer implants than some alternative fixed solutions
- Strategic implant positioning that may reduce the need for additional grafting in selected situations
- Improved stability during speaking and eating
- A coordinated replacement for the full arch
- Potential for an immediate temporary restoration when clinical criteria are met
Four implants are not automatically suitable for every jaw. Bone quality, implant distribution, bite forces, cantilever length and cleaning access must all be assessed.

Fixed Full Arch Restoration Supported by Six Implants
All-on-6 treatment concept may provide additional support or a different distribution of forces in selected cases.
Potential advantages include:
- Broader implant distribution where anatomy allows
- Additional restorative support
- Flexibility in the design of the final bridge
- A fixed and stable solution
- Potential value in selected bite or anatomical conditions
Six implants are not inherently better than four in every case. Current evidence does not support choosing implant quantity in isolation. Dr. Fneiche considers the quality and position of the available bone, the proposed bridge, your bite and the maintainability of the result.

Implant-Supported Overdenture
An implant-supported overdenture attaches to implants for improved retention but can be removed by you for cleaning.
Potential advantages include:
- Greater stability than a conventional removable denture
- Easier access for daily cleaning
- Fewer implants may be required in some situations
- Useful support for facial and lip contours where restorative volume is needed
- A potentially more accessible route than a fixed full arch bridge
The attachments and removable prosthesis require ongoing maintenance. Small components may need periodic adjustment or replacement as part of normal use.
Staged Full Arch Reconstruction
In some situations, a staged approach gives the tissues more time to heal before the final restoration is fitted.
It may involve:
- Removal of teeth with an uncertain prognosis
- Bone or soft-tissue preparation where indicated
- Implant placement at a planned stage
- A temporary restoration during healing
- Delivery of the definitive restoration after integration
This route may take longer, but it can provide a controlled sequence when immediate loading is not appropriate.
How Dr. Alex Fneiche Plans Your Treatment
Comprehensive 3D Scan and Consultation
Your consultation creates the clinical foundation for the entire treatment.
Dr. Fneiche evaluates:
- Your remaining teeth and gums
- Available bone volume and relevant anatomy
- Jaw relationships and bite
- Facial proportions and smile line
- Restorative space
- Previous dental treatment
- Medical factors relevant to healing
- Your priorities for stability, appearance and maintenance
Three-dimensional imaging provides information that cannot be obtained from a standard visual examination alone. It helps determine where implants may be positioned and whether additional procedures need to be considered.
You can then review the viable options, differences between them, expected sequence and estimated fees.
3D scan
Precise Implant Placement with Surgical Guides and Digital Planning
The implant positions are digitally planned in relation to both your anatomy and the proposed restoration.
Where clinically suitable, a surgical guide can transfer the digital plan to the treatment procedure. This supports controlled positioning in terms of implant angle, depth and distribution.
Comfort measures and anaesthesia options are discussed before treatment. No procedure can honestly be described as sensation-free for everyone, but each stage is planned to make the experience as controlled and manageable as possible.
If the implants achieve the required initial stability and the wider clinical criteria are met, a temporary fixed restoration may be considered. If those conditions are not present, the planned healing protocol is followed instead.
This decision protects the biological objective of treatment rather than prioritising speed.

The Healing Process
Osseointegration is the period during which the bone forms a stable biological connection with the implant surfaces.
During this stage:
- The implants are allowed to stabilise within the jaw
- Your temporary restoration is monitored where applicable
- Bite forces may be adjusted
- Healing and hygiene are reviewed
- The tissues are assessed before the definitive restoration is made
Healing time varies according to bone quality, implant stability, the treatment protocol and individual biological factors.
Attaching Your Custom-Made Full Arch Restoration
For full arch treatment, the final restoration is a complete implant-supported bridge or overdenture, rather than a single dental crown.
Its design considers:
- Tooth proportions
- Colour and translucency
- Smile line
- Speech
- Bite contacts
- Facial support
- Strength of the restorative material
- Access for daily cleaning
- Future professional maintenance
The final restoration is checked for fit, function, appearance and cleanability before completion.

€700 to €900
Per implant
The exact price depends on the details of your case, and the full amount will be explained clearly during your consultation.
We believe the decision should be based on facts, not assumptions. That is why you will receive a complete explanation of the treatment plan, the expected steps, and the financial details before moving forward.
Coverage in Belgium
The mutuelle, the compulsory state insurance, contributes to many dental treatments but implants, crowns and grafts are generally not among them.
Any reimbursement for this type of treatment usually comes from additional cover, most often a private supplementary insurance policy.
What applies in your case depends on your own policy and your clinical situation.
This is reviewed with you during your consultation, alongside your written treatment plan and fee estimate.

FAQ – Dental Implants with Dr. Alex Fneiche
Q·01How many implants are usually needed for a full arch restoration?
A fixed full arch restoration is commonly supported by four to six dental implants. The right number depends on your bone volume, bone quality, bite forces, jaw anatomy and the design of the final bridge.
Four implants may be appropriate in selected cases when they can be positioned with good stability and distribution. Six implants may be recommended when broader support or a different force distribution is clinically beneficial. The decision is made after a full examination, 3D imaging and digital treatment planning.
Q·02Is All-on-4 better than All-on-6?
All-on-4 is not automatically better than All-on-6, and All-on-6 is not automatically better than All-on-4. Both concepts can work well when they are selected for the right clinical situation.
The most important factors are:
- Available bone
- Implant position
- Bite forces
- Bridge design
- Cleaning access
- Long-term maintenance needs
Dr. Alex Fneiche recommends the approach that offers the most clinically predictable result for your anatomy, rather than choosing based on implant number alone.
Q·03Can I get fixed teeth on the same day as implant surgery?
In some cases, a temporary fixed restoration can be fitted shortly after implant placement. This is often called immediate loading.
However, same-day fixed teeth are only possible when the implants achieve enough initial stability and the wider clinical conditions are suitable. These conditions include bone quality, implant distribution, bite forces and the type of temporary restoration planned.
If immediate loading is not appropriate, a safer healing protocol is used to protect the implants and support long-term success.
Q·04Will full arch dental implants look natural?
Full arch dental implants can look natural when the restoration is planned around your face, smile line, speech and bite, not only around the missing teeth.
Digital planning helps coordinate the implant positions with the future tooth position. The final restoration is designed with attention to:
- Tooth shape and proportions
- Colour and translucency
- Gum contours
- Lip support
- Smile symmetry
- Speech and bite comfort
The goal is a stable, functional and natural-looking result that fits your facial features.
Q·05How long does full arch implant treatment take from start to finish?
The full treatment timeline depends on your starting condition. Treatment may be shorter when the bone is stable and immediate loading is possible. It may take longer when teeth need to be removed, bone grafting is required or healing must be staged.
A typical treatment sequence includes:
- Consultation and 3D imaging
- Digital treatment planning
- Implant placement
- Healing and osseointegration
- Fitting of the final full arch restoration
Your estimated timeline is explained after your clinical and digital assessment.
Q·06How much do full arch dental implants cost in Belgium?
At Dr. Alex Fneiche's practice, the expected fee is approximately €700 to €900 per implant. The total cost of full arch treatment depends on the number of implants, the type of restoration, digital planning, temporary teeth, final prosthetic design and any additional procedures required.
After your consultation, you receive a personalised treatment proposal that explains the recommended approach, the treatment stages and the estimated total cost. Insurance reimbursement depends on your own policy, mutuality or supplementary dental insurance provider.
Q·07Are full arch implants suitable if I already wear dentures?
Yes, full arch implants may be suitable if you currently wear full or partial dentures and want improved stability, chewing comfort or confidence when speaking.
Depending on your anatomy and priorities, the options may include:
- A fixed full arch implant bridge
- An implant-supported overdenture
- A staged transition from removable dentures to implant-supported teeth
An implant-supported overdenture may be easier to clean and can provide more stability than a conventional denture. A fixed bridge may be more suitable when the bone, bite and hygiene access support that design.
