What are "All on 6" implants?
"All on 6" dental implants are a form of dental implant therapy in which six implants are used to support an entire arch of replacement teeth. This procedure is comparable to the "All on 4" procedure, but it employs six implants to offer additional stability and support for the replacement teeth.
What is the purpose of "All on 6" dental implants?
A entire arch of lost or damaged teeth is replaced with "All on 6" dental implants. They are a wonderful option for patients who are missing most or all of their natural teeth, have a small amount of remaining jawbone, or desire a stronger and more robust support for their replacement teeth. They can also support a whole set of dentures.
How are "All on 6" implants positioned?
The placement of "All on 6" dental implants normally requires the following steps:
• Consultation: The dentist will check your teeth and jaw to assess if you are a good candidate for the treatment and will explain the best alternatives for your specific scenario.
• Planning and preparation: X-rays and CT scans will be used by the dentist to arrange the implant placement.
The implants are surgically implanted into the jawbone. The two implants in the back are positioned to take advantage of the denser portion of the jaw and to preserve as much jawbone as feasible.
• Healing and integration: The implants are given many months to heal and integrate with the jawbone.
• Restoration: Once the implants have bonded with the jawbone, an abutment (a small connector post) is inserted atop the implant and a full arch of replacement teeth is connected to the abutment.
What advantages do "All on 6" dental implants offer?
"All on 6" dental implants have numerous advantages, including:
• Enhancement of appearance: "All on 6" dental implants can improve the appearance of discolored, malformed, or gapped teeth.
• Improved function: "All on 6" dental implants can enhance the capacity to chew and speak, in addition to preserving the remaining natural teeth.
• Enhanced self-esteem: "All on 6" dental implants can enhance self-esteem and confidence by restoring a smile that seems natural.
• Durability: "All on 6" dental implants are built from sturdy materials that can resist regular daily wear and tear.
• Greater stability and support: Typically, "All on 6" dental implants provide greater stability and support for the replacement teeth than "All on 4" implants.
Who can receive "All on 6" dental implants?
"All on 6" dental implants are appropriate for patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth, have a limited quantity of remaining jawbone, or desire a stronger and more stable support for their replacement teeth. However, a person's eligibility for "All on 6" dental implants may be affected by a number of reasons. These consist of:
• Individuals with severe tooth decay or periodontal disease
• Individuals with a forceful bite or practice of teeth grinding
• Individuals with thin tooth enamel
• Individuals with uncontrolled diabetes
• Individuals who have received radiation therapy to the head or neck
How do I maintain my "All on 6" implants?
The maintenance of "All on 6" dental implants is comparable to the maintenance of "All on 4" dental implants and natural teeth. It is essential to:
• Brush and floss your teeth routinely
• See your dentist periodically for checkups and cleanings
• Never utilize tobacco goods
• Restrict your consumption of sweet and starchy meals
By adhering to these easy steps, you can prolong the life of your "All on 6" dental implants.
As a result of the additional components and attachments, "All on 6" implants may require more maintenance than standard implants. Your dentist may recommend routine exams and cleanings to maintain the health of the abutments and attachments.
