PromotionAll-on-6 Implants
What are All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-6 dental implant treatment is a specialised procedure that involves the placement of six dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The procedure is similar to the All-on-4 dental implant treatment, but with the placement of two additional dental implants for extra support and stability.
During the All-on-6 dental implant procedure, the dentist will place six dental implants in strategic locations in the jawbone. These implants will serve as the foundation for a custom-made bridge or denture that will be attached to the implants to restore your missing teeth.
The All-on-6 procedure typically requires two or three appointments over the course of several months. The first appointment involves a thorough examination and consultation to determine your eligibility for the procedure. During the second appointment, the dental implants are placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia. After the implants are placed, there will be a healing period of several months to allow the implants to fuse with the jawbone. During this time, you may wear temporary dentures or bridges. The final appointment involves the attachment of the permanent bridge or denture to the implants.
Advantages and Disadvantages of All-on-6 Dental Implants
Advantages
1. Enhanced Stability: With the placement of six dental implants, the All-on-6 treatment provides enhanced stability and support for the replacement teeth, making it a great option for patients with a more severe case of tooth loss.
2. Improved Functionality: The All-on-6 treatment allows patients to eat, speak, and smile with confidence and comfort, as the replacement teeth are securely attached to the dental implants.
3. Natural Appearance: The replacement teeth in the All-on-6 treatment are custom-made to match the patient’s natural teeth, providing a natural and aesthetically pleasing smile.
4. Immediate Results: Patients can receive their final bridge or denture on the same day as the implant procedure, which means they can leave the dental office with a fully restored smile.
Disadvantages
1. Cost: The All-on-6 treatment can be more expensive than traditional dentures, although it is often less expensive than traditional implant procedures.
2. Healing Time: The All-on-6 treatment requires a healing period of several months to allow the implants to fuse with the jawbone, which can be a long process.
3. Not Suitable for Everyone: Not everyone is a good candidate for the All-on-6 treatment, as the procedure requires a healthy jawbone and good oral hygiene habits.
4. Potential Complications: Like any dental procedure, All-on-6 can have potential complications, such as implant failure or infection.
