An all-on-6 dental implant is similar to All-on-4, here we use 6 dental implants in place of 4 unlike in All-On-4 implants. If you don't replace your natural teeth once they start to fall out, you eventually lose the underlying bone as well. In the absence of tooth structure, the bone tends to resorb as it loses its function. Bone resorption is accelerated by some systemic conditions, such as diabetes. In such circumstances, the underlying bone would not provide appropriate support for the denture.
The All-On-6 Dental Implant Surgery gives a permanent prosthesis with six dental implants. These six dental implants act as the anchor for a bridge and are implanted in the lower or upper jaw to permanently anchor prosthetic teeth in place. We evaluate the anatomical structures in the mouth by conducting Cone Beam Computer Tomogram (CB-CT) scans and intra-oral scans.
Depending on the bone density of the patient, grafting is done if needed. We examine and evaluate your mouth and advise you accordingly before starting the All-On-6 Dental Implant Surgery.
Dentists place the implant after all the scans are made. The implant is placed in the jaw bone and is covered with gums. It is a complete Zero pain surgery as the treatment is performed under LA or IV sedation. (any other specific information about step 2 can also be added)
It might take around 3 months to heal completely depending on your jaw strength. During this time, the jaw bone and gums shape themselves and bond with the new dental implants. You need to take utmost care till they are completely healed. Once the dental implants are completely fused into the jawline a permanent prosthesis is sealed on the dental implants.
All-on-6 dental implant surgery requires only 6 dental implants to have a complete arch of teeth per jaw rather than 10 - 12 implants in traditional dental implants.
All-on-6 dental implants require only one surgery.
All-on-6 dental implants are often regarded as the most effective replacement for dentures or damaged teeth with a 98% success rate.
To complete all-on-6 dental implant surgery for one arch takes not more than 3.0 hrs.
In All-on-6 dental implant surgery, the prosthesis is firmly fixed into place at an angle to allow more contact support with your natural bone and as a result bone grafting is not necessary.
After having All-on-6 dental implant surgery one can recover within a week. As there is no need for additional surgeries and follow-up appointments you can save money and time as well.
You must keep your new teeth clean and clear from bacteria and plaque for your implants to last long. They can induce infection in the tissues and are the most common causes of implant failure. The maintenance of proper oral hygiene cannot be overstated.
Effective hygienic tips include:
Years of Experience
Patients Treated
Complex Root Canals Treated
Dental Implants
There are various benefits of getting All-on-6 Dental Implant done: a. This solution lasts a long time. b. Recovery time is short. c. There's absolutely no need for removable dentures. d. One can freely speak again and can bite, chew food again, just like natural teeth.
Patients with a full arch of missing teeth might consider the All-On-6 dental implant therapy. It is also for people who have several missing teeth and want to replace them with a complete arch dental implant. The All-On-6 Dental Implant method is a long-term, secure alternative to conventional dentures.
Patients will need to check in with their dentists often — especially in the first three months — and then two to three times annually or as recommended by the dentist. Continuous care along with proper oral hygiene will result in a perfect smile and excellent oral health once the dental implants have been established.
The difference is the number of implants that will be strategically positioned on the upper and lower jaws, respectively.
