dental implants bone loss

Is it possible for me to get dental implants with bone loss?

Dental implants are attached to the jawbone during placement. However, what happens when the patient has suffered loss of the jawbone and needs dental implants with bone loss?

There are patients who think that there is no viable solution for their case and give up on getting dental implants. However, there are different state-of-the-art techniques, performed by experts in the field of advanced implantology, that allow for the placement of dental implants with bone loss.

Dental implant techniques for patients with bone loss

At Dental Asensio, we want everyone to have a great smile, which is why we have different state-of-the-art techniques and highly qualified staff for cases of patients with bone loss.

Maxillary sinus lift

This technique increases the density of the bone so that the placement of the dental piece is possible.

Bone graft for dental implants with bone loss

For cases where there is a lot of bone deficit, the bone regeneration technique is performed using a synthetic bone graft or autologous grafts (taken from the patient themselves) in the maxilla or jaw to gain bone volume to place the implants.

The patient needs a day of rest in the post-operative period, but it usually does not cause much discomfort for the patient.

Cigomatic dental implants

Cigomatic implants or cigoma are longer dental implants than conventional implants and are placed in the cheekbones. These bones have greater density and hardness to place the implants.

This technique has the advantage of being faster than regenerative methods, greatly benefiting patients by providing immediate results.

All on 4 dental implants cost

ALL-ON-4 DENTAL IMPLANTS ABROAD

All-on-4 dental implants abroad is a full-arch rehabilitation technique that replaces all the teeth in one jaw using just four strategically placed implants — with fixed provisional teeth fitted on the same day as surgery. For patients from the UK who have lost most or all of their teeth, All-on-4 in Spain offers the same Nobel Biocare implants used in British clinics at 55% to 70% lower cost, with a lifetime guarantee on materials.

Living with unstable dentures that move when you speak or eat significantly affects quality of life. Many patients are told they need extensive bone grafting before they can have fixed teeth again — adding cost, recovery time and complexity. All-on-4 is specifically designed to work with the available bone by angling the posterior implants, which means most patients can have fixed teeth without grafting, in a single trip to Valencia.

At Asensio Advanced Dentistry the All-on-4 procedure is planned and performed by Dr. Lucía Asensio Romero, a specialist in implantology and oral surgery with over 30 years of experience and more than 5,000 implants placed. We use 3D digital planning and guided surgery to achieve precise implant positioning and predictable results.

What is All-on-4 and how does it work?

All-on-4 uses four implants per arch — two placed vertically at the front and two angled at 45 degrees at the back. The angled posterior implants maximise contact with available bone and avoid anatomical structures such as the maxillary sinus or the mandibular nerve. This design provides immediate stability strong enough to support a fixed provisional prosthesis on the same day.

Unlike conventional full-arch rehabilitation that may require 6, 8 or more implants and often bone grafting, All-on-4 achieves excellent results with fewer implants in less time. After a healing period of 3 to 6 months, the provisional prosthesis is replaced with the definitive restoration.

All-on-4 abroad vs All-on-6: which is right for you?

Treatment Indicated for Main advantage
All-on-4 Full arch loss, limited bone Less invasive, most cost-efficient, avoids grafting
All-on-6 Full arch loss, good bone volume More implant support where anatomy allows

The right choice depends on your bone volume, bite force requirements and overall clinical situation. Both options are assessed during the free first consultation using a 3D CT scan. View our full dental implants abroad page for an overview of all implant options.

The All-on-4 procedure step by step

Stage What happens Visit required
1. Free consultation OPG X-ray, 3D CT scan, personalised treatment plan Yes (or remote assessment)
2. Surgery day Extractions, 4 implants placed, fixed provisional teeth fitted same day Yes
3. Osseointegration 3–6 months healing at home in the UK with provisional fixed teeth No
4. Final prosthesis Definitive restoration fitted — designed for long-term function and aesthetics Yes

Most All-on-4 cases require two trips to Valencia. The consultation and surgery can be scheduled on consecutive days, and the osseointegration period is spent at home in the UK with fully functional provisional teeth. Find out more about how our dental tourism process works.

Why choose Asensio for All-on-4 abroad?

We use exclusively Nobel Biocare and Klockner implants — the two most clinically validated implant brands in the world — and back every case with a lifetime guarantee on materials. Our ISO 9001 certification from AENOR means our clinical processes are independently audited to the same standards as major European hospital groups.

We also accept complex cases that other clinics have rejected, including patients with significant bone loss. In cases of severe maxillary atrophy where standard All-on-4 is not viable, we offer zygomatic implants as an alternative. Call us free on 0800 048 8058 or email office@dentalasensio.co.uk to discuss your case.

Frequently asked questions about All-on-4 abroad

How much does All-on-4 cost abroad in Spain?

A single arch All-on-4 at Asensio costs £6,480 including all extractions, four Nobel Biocare or Klockner implants and fixed provisional teeth on the same day. Both arches cost £12,960. View the full breakdown on our prices page.

Can I get All-on-4 if I have little bone?

In most cases yes. The angled posterior implants are specifically designed to maximise available bone and avoid grafting. For severe bone atrophy we assess whether All-on-4 is viable or whether zygomatic implants are more appropriate. Every case is evaluated with a 3D CT scan.

How many trips to Spain does All-on-4 require?

Typically two trips. The first covers the consultation and surgery — these can be scheduled on consecutive days. You return home with fixed provisional teeth and come back 3 to 6 months later for the definitive restoration.

Is All-on-4 painful?

The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia. Conscious sedation with nitrous oxide is available for patients who prefer it. Most patients report manageable postoperative discomfort rather than severe pain, and return to normal activity within a few days.

How long does All-on-4 last?

With proper maintenance and regular professional reviews the implants can last for many years. The prosthesis may require maintenance or renewal over time depending on materials and wear. All implant materials carry a lifetime guarantee at Asensio.
