All-on-6 Implant Treatment: A Safe and Reliable Solution

All-on-6 implant treatment is a highly effective method for restoring missing teeth by placing a fixed prosthesis supported by six implants. This treatment is especially preferred for patients who are edentulous or have teeth that are no longer functional. It provides a durable and long-lasting solution, delivering a natural appearance and optimal chewing function. The six implants provide a stable base for the prosthesis, which closely resembles natural teeth in both form and function.

How Is All-on-6 Implant Treatment Applied?

The All-on-6 treatment process is carried out through detailed planning and the professional guidance of a dentist:

Examination and Radiological Imaging: Initially, the patient's jawbone structure is examined using digital imaging (3D tomography) to assess its density and suitability for implant placement.

Placement of Implants: In the first stage of the treatment, six implants are placed into the jawbone at determined angles. Two of the implants are placed at an angle in the posterior region, and four are placed vertically in the anterior region. This placement ensures even distribution of chewing forces and enhances the stability and balance of the prosthesis.

Temporary Prosthesis Placement: After implant placement, a temporary prosthesis is fixed in place on the same day. This allows patients to quickly adapt to their new teeth while the implants fuse with the bone.

Permanent Prosthesis Placement: Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone (around 3-6 months later), the permanent prosthesis is placed. This final restoration provides a natural appearance and full chewing function.

Advantages of All-on-6 Implant Treatment

There are several reasons why All-on-6 implants are favored:

• Natural and Strong Chewing Function: The use of six implants ensures that the prosthetic teeth have a strong and functional chewing ability.
• A More Durable and Long-lasting Solution: All-on-6 provides a robust, long-lasting solution for edentulous jaws. The prosthesis is securely supported by six implants, offering improved durability.
• Improved Aesthetic Appearance: The permanent prostheses are custom-designed to match the patient’s dental and facial structure, resulting in a natural look.
• Quick Procedure: Temporary prostheses are placed on the same day, allowing patients to return to their daily life without being without teeth.

Who Is All-on-6 Implant Treatment Suitable For?

All-on-6 is ideal for patients who have lost their teeth or whose remaining teeth are no longer functional. However, it is important that the jawbone is strong and healthy enough to support the implants. This treatment is typically recommended for:

• Patients who are completely edentulous in the upper or lower jaw
• Those who have experienced tooth loss and have sufficient bone density for All-on-6 implants
• Patients looking for a secure method to anchor their prostheses

Before the procedure, a thorough examination by your dentist will help assess your jawbone health and determine if any preparatory treatments are needed for optimal results.

Post-Treatment Care After All-on-6 Implant Placement

To ensure the success and longevity of the implants and prostheses, it is crucial to follow certain care instructions after treatment:

• Regular Brushing and Cleaning: Use a soft toothbrush and dental floss to keep the implants and surrounding tissues healthy. Maintaining oral hygiene is essential for long-term success.
• Routine Checkups: Regular visits to the dentist are necessary to monitor the condition of the implants and maintain oral health.
• Avoid Hard Foods: During the healing process, avoid hard and sticky foods to prevent unnecessary pressure on the implants. Stick to soft foods to facilitate healing.

Longevity of All-on-6 Implant Treatment

With proper care and regular checkups, All-on-6 implants can last for many years. As long as the jawbone and gum health are maintained, the implants will remain durable. Following the dentist’s recommended oral care routine and attending regular checkups will help maximize the longevity of the treatment.
