All-on-6 dental implants use six strategically placed titanium implants in the jawbone to support a fixed bridge or full-arch denture. This advanced technique ensures greater stability and distributes biting forces evenly, making it an excellent solution for those with multiple missing teeth or a desire to upgrade from traditional dentures.
With six implants, there’s more room for flexibility in design and customization of the final restoration. This creates a lifelike appearance and a highly functional replacement for natural teeth.
The Benefits of All-on-6 Dental Implants
- Exceptional Stability
Six implants provide superior anchorage compared to fewer implant setups, ensuring your restoration stays secure while eating, speaking, or smiling. - Bone Preservation
The implants stimulate jawbone tissue, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure, often eliminating the sunken look associated with missing teeth. - Enhanced Aesthetics
Custom-designed prosthetic teeth mimic the appearance of natural teeth, delivering a youthful and confident smile. - Minimal Need for Bone Grafting
Unlike other techniques, All-on-6 often bypasses the need for additional bone grafting, saving time and reducing complexity. - Improved Quality of Life
With restored dental function, patients can enjoy a broader diet, clearer speech, and enhanced confidence.
What to Expect During the All-on-6 Process
1. Initial Consultation
Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, review your medical history, and take X-rays or CT scans to assess bone quality and gum health.
2. Treatment Planning
A detailed treatment plan is created, outlining implant placement and prosthetic design for a tailored solution.
3. Implant Placement
Using advanced surgical techniques, six implants are precisely placed in the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation.
4. Healing Period
During osseointegration (3-6 months), the implants fuse with the jawbone to create a durable foundation. Temporary teeth may be provided for functionality during this phase.
5. Final Restoration
After healing, your custom prosthetic bridge is securely attached, offering a permanent and natural-looking solution.
