The All-on-6 treatment concept is an advanced solution in dental implantology designed for patients who need a complete replacement of missing teeth using six implants. This technique offers a stable and durable solution for those who have lost most or all of their teeth or have severe tooth decay.
What is All-on-6?
All-on-6 is a dental implant procedure that uses six implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This approach ensures maximum stability and support for the prosthetic teeth, often providing a more secure and durable result compared to methods with fewer implants.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Stability: The use of six implants provides superior stability and support for the prosthesis, making it a robust solution for full arch replacements.
- Immediate Results: Many patients can receive a temporary set of prosthetic teeth on the same day as the implant placement, offering immediate aesthetics and function.
- Minimally Invasive: Although more implants are used than in the All-on-4 procedure, the overall approach remains minimally invasive compared to traditional methods.
- Customizable: The All-on-6 technique can be tailored to fit various clinical situations and patient needs, ensuring an optimal fit and function.
Procedure:
Initial Consultation: A comprehensive examination, including X-rays and possibly a 3D scan, is conducted to assess bone density and determine the best treatment plan.
Treatment Planning: Detailed planning is carried out to determine the ideal placement of the six implants and the design of the prosthetic teeth.
Implant Placement: Six dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. The placement is designed to maximize the use of available bone and provide excellent support for the final prosthesis.
Temporary Prosthesis: A temporary set of teeth is often fitted immediately after the implants are placed, allowing patients to enjoy functional and aesthetic benefits while the implants integrate with the bone.
Healing Period: The implants undergo a healing process known as osseointegration, during which they fuse with the jawbone over several months.
Final Prosthesis: After the healing period, a permanent set of prosthetic teeth is crafted and placed on the implants, providing a natural appearance and full functionality.
Considerations:
- Bone Density: Adequate bone density is necessary for the success of the implants. If bone loss is present, additional procedures such as bone grafting may be required.
- Oral Hygiene: Proper oral hygiene is essential to maintain the health of the implants and surrounding tissues.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up appointments are important to ensure the implants and prosthetic teeth remain in good condition.
Pricing: For challenging cases with sufficient bone, the price for 1 arch , which includes:
- 6 Implants per Arch
- Immediate Temporary Prosthesis (PMMA)
- Free Replacement of the Prosthesis (in case of breakage)
- Hygiene and Check-Up
