All on 6 Dental Implants
The “All-on-6” dental implant technique is a restorative approach similar to the All-on-4 but involves the placement of six dental implants to support a full arch of teeth. This technique provides additional stability and support, particularly in cases where more implant posts are beneficial.
About All on 6 implants
Technique
- Initial Assessment: The process begins with a thorough dental evaluation to assess the patient’s oral health, jawbone condition, and specific needs.
- Treatment Plan: A personalized treatment plan is developed based on the initial assessment. The plan outlines the steps for the All-on-6 procedure.
- Implant Placement: Six dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as anchors for the prosthetic arch. The implant placement locations are strategically chosen for optimal stability and support.
- Temporary Prosthesis: A temporary, fixed prosthesis is often attached to the implants immediately after surgery. This temporary prosthesis provides immediate restoration of function and aesthetics.
- Healing and Osseointegration: Over several months, the implants integrate with the jawbone through osseointegration, ensuring a strong and stable foundation for the final prosthetic arch.
- Final Prosthesis: Once osseointegration is complete, a permanent fixed prosthesis is custom-designed and attached to the implants. The prosthesis closely resembles the patient’s natural teeth in color, shape, and size.
Benefits
- Restored Functionality: All-on-6 implants provide excellent chewing and speaking abilities, similar to natural teeth.
- Aesthetics: The prosthetic arch enhances the patient’s smile and facial appearance, offering a natural and lifelike look.
- Strong Support: The use of six implants provides strong support for the prosthesis, ensuring stability and longevity.
- Reduced Bone Grafting: All-on-6 implants often require less bone grafting or augmentation compared to other implant methods.
- Quick Solution: Patients receive a temporary prosthesis immediately after implant placement, allowing them to avoid the inconvenience of removable dentures.
