All-on-6 involves the cases when the specialist inserts 6 implants instead of 4.
Six is the right number of implants, for it to be able to place the titanium fixtures (or screws) straight, because it is not too high (10 would be too many and could be risky for aesthetics), nor too low.
What is All-on-6?
What are the advantages of All on 6?
Very often these patients use removable, total prostheses, the so-called dentures. This solution,
although still widely-used, causes various inconveniences such as discomfort and mobility.
The reasons that make it more preferable to use the All-on-4 and All-on-6 techniques are different, as they are well-known in the dental clinics where they’re applied.
- The reasons are as the following:
- Eliminates waiting times for osteo-regeneration;
- Significant time savings: it is possible to finish the job even in a single session;
- Minimal invasiveness of intervention;
- Possibility of applying the technique to a large number of cases;
- Optimal aesthetic result: the teeth will seem natural-looking, perfectly matched to the palate, without noticing any difference
- Valid alternative to dentures. Especially in younger patients to whom the denture could represent a shock, this method is an excellent solution; moreover, there is no risk of exposing
oneself to bad figures as it could happen with a mobile denture. - Solves chewing problems.
How does the All-on-6 treatment work?
The technique is the same as that used at the All-in-4 treatment, but in this case we always aim for the patients who suffer from total edentulism, but who also want to have a complete dental arch.
How long does it take for All-on-6?
The intervention is minimally invasive and gives immediate results. Within a few days, the patient resumes his daily life, alongside with his previous diet, without any type of decompensation.
