What is All-on-6?

The All-on-6 treatment is an innovative dental procedure designed for patients who are either completely edentulous (without teeth) or need all their remaining teeth extracted. This method involves placing a fixed prosthesis on six strategically positioned dental implants within a single surgical session. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients seeking a durable and aesthetic solution with a shorter treatment timeline.

How is All-on-6 Performed?

The All-on-6 procedure begins with a comprehensive clinical and radiological examination, often involving 3D dental tomography. Based on these assessments, a customized treatment plan is developed. If the patient has remaining teeth, these are extracted under local anesthesia. Six implants are then placed at specific angles to maximize bone support and stability. A temporary prosthesis is attached immediately after the implants are placed, and a permanent prosthesis is installed after a healing period of about three months.

Stages of All-on-6 Treatment

  1. Initial consultation and 3D imaging.
  2. Development of a personalized treatment plan.
  3. Extraction of remaining teeth under local anesthesia.
  4. Placement of six dental implants at strategic angles.
  5. Attachment of a temporary fixed prosthesis.
  6. After a healing period, placement of a permanent prosthesis.

Advantages of All-on-6 Treatment

  • Immediate restoration of dental function and aesthetics.
  • Shorter treatment time compared to traditional implants.
  • Easy maintenance and cleaning.
  • Cost-effective compared to standard implant treatments.
  • High success rate with long-term outcomes.
  • Customized aesthetic appearance and smile design.

Who is Suitable for All-on-6 Treatment?

All-on-6 treatment is ideal for:

  • Patients with no teeth or those needing full extractions.
  • Patients dissatisfied with removable dentures.
  • Individuals without contraindicating health conditions for dental surgery.
  • Those seeking a quicker and more affordable solution than traditional implants.

Healing Process After All-on-6 Treatment

The recovery period for All-on-6 is typically smooth and uneventful. Key points include:

  • Maintaining rigorous oral hygiene.
  • Avoiding hard, sticky, hot, and cold foods for a few days.
  • Using prescribed medications as directed by the dentist.
  • Following a soft food diet initially.
  • Attending all follow-up appointments for optimal healing and implant integration.

Duration of All-on-6 Treatment

The entire All-on-6 procedure typically spans 2-3 sessions over approximately 10 days, depending on the patient’s specific oral health and jawbone structure.

Post-Treatment Care for All-on-6

After undergoing the All-on-6 procedure, patients should:

  • Avoid eating or drinking for the first two hours post-treatment.
  • Refrain from consuming extremely hot or cold foods and drinks for a few days.
  • Stick to a diet of liquids and soft foods initially.
  • Take medications as prescribed by the dentist.
  • Follow dietary recommendations provided by the dental team.
  • Return to a normal diet after the 3-month healing period, following the dentist’s approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

The All-on-6 treatment is a dental procedure where six implants are placed to support a full, fixed prosthesis, providing a durable and aesthetic solution for edentulous patients.
All-on-6 uses six implants instead of four, offering increased stability and support, particularly beneficial for patients with less bone density.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so patients do not feel pain during implant placement. Mild discomfort and swelling may occur post-procedure, which can be managed with prescribed painkillers.
The treatment typically spans 2-3 sessions over approximately 10 days, depending on the patient's oral health and jawbone structure.
The All-on-6 procedure has a very high success rate in long-term follow-up, provided that patients adhere to post-treatment care guidelines.
Ideal candidates are those without teeth or those needing full extractions, who do not have any health conditions that contraindicate dental surgery.
Recovery involves maintaining oral hygiene, avoiding certain foods, using prescribed medications, and attending follow-up appointments. Most patients experience a straightforward recovery.
Yes, patients receive a temporary fixed prosthesis on the same day as the implant placement, with a permanent prosthesis placed after the healing period.
Care involves regular brushing, flossing, using mouthwash, avoiding smoking, and attending regular dental check-ups.
Yes, All-on-6 is generally more cost-effective because it uses fewer implants and requires fewer visits compared to traditional multi-stage implant treatments.
