All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dental Implants
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are specialized procedures for replacing a full set of teeth using only four or six implants, respectively, either on the bottom or top jaw. The All-on-4 method uses four implants, with two placed at an angle to optimize bone usage, supporting a full set of teeth. All-on-6 includes six implants, providing greater stability and support, especially beneficial for those with significant bone loss or needing robust support for their new teeth. Both methods offer a complete smile using fewer implants than traditional approaches.
What Are All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dental Implants?
Preparation for All-on-4 and All-on-6 involves a thorough examination, including X-rays and 3D scans to assess bone health and oral condition. Surgeons perform the implantation under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia. They place four titanium implants in the All-on-4 method and six in the All-on-6 method for enhanced support. After setting the implants, dentists attach a temporary set of teeth on the same day. Over the following months, the implants integrate with the bone, and once healed, a custom-made permanent set of teeth is fitted, providing durable and comfortable results.
Who is Suitable for Implant Solutions?
These restorations suit patients who have lost most or all of their teeth due to decay, gum disease, or trauma. They are ideal for individuals with weak bone density, as the angled implants in All-on-4 often eliminate the need for bone grafts. All-on-6 offers additional support for those with severe bone loss or who need a more robust solution. These implants appeal particularly to older patients or anyone seeking a long-term, permanent dental solution, provided they commit to maintaining good oral hygiene.
