The “All-on-6” treatment is a dental implant procedure used to replace a full arch of teeth. It involves placing six dental implants in the upper or lower jaw, which act as a stable foundation for a fixed prosthesis, typically a bridge or dentures.
It’s a popular option for patients with significant tooth loss who want a permanent solution.
As Miss Endo Dental Team, we specialize in the All-on-4 dental implant procedure, leveraging our extensive experience to successfully manage complex cases, and we are committed to helping our patients restore their beautiful smiles.
Benefits of All On 6
💫With six implants supporting the prosthesis, the structure is highly stable, making it ideal for long-term use and preventing shifting or slipping, unlike traditional dentures.
💫The prosthetic teeth look and feel like natural teeth, offering a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile.
💫Restores full chewing capacity and allows patients to eat a wider variety of foods with comfort, improving overall oral function.
💫The implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss, which commonly occurs after tooth loss, preserving facial structure over time.
💫Since the prosthesis is fixed and doesn’t need removal, it provides greater comfort compared to removable dentures, eliminating gum irritation.
💫Many All-on-6 procedures allow patients to receive a full set of teeth in a shorter time compared to traditional implant treatments, offering an efficient and effective solution.
💫Compared to placing individual implants for each missing tooth, All-on-6 offers a more cost-efficient option for full arch rehabilitation.
💫With proper care, All-on-6 implants can last for many years, providing patients with a durable, reliable solution.
Who Is Not Suitable for All On 6?
While All-on-6 implants are an effective solution for missing teeth, they may not be suitable for everyone. Here are some circumstances where they might not be recommended:
1. Insufficient Bone Density: Patients with significant jawbone loss may not have enough bone to support the implants. In some cases, bone grafting may be needed before the procedure can be considered.
2. Chronic Health Conditions: Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune diseases, or severe osteoporosis can affect healing and increase the risk of implant failure.
3. Smoking: Heavy smokers may face higher risks of complications or implant failure due to reduced blood flow and slower healing in the gums and bone.
4. Periodontal Disease: Active gum disease can affect the success of implants, as healthy gums are necessary for proper healing and integration of the implants.
5. Age and Growth: For younger patients whose jawbone is still growing, dental implants may not be recommended until bone growth is complete.
6. Poor Oral Hygiene: Patients who struggle to maintain good oral hygiene may face higher risks of infection or complications, reducing the long-term success of the implants.
7. Severe Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Chronic teeth grinding can place excessive force on the implants, potentially leading to damage or failure.
Before proceeding with All-on-6 implants, a thorough consultation with a dentist or oral surgeon is essential to determine if the treatment is the right option.
All On 6 is surgical treatment influenced by various general and local health factors. It is essential to carefully consider all these factors during the planning phase.
