What is All-on-6 Implant Treatment? Why should it be preferred?

All-on-6 implant treatment is a fixed prosthesis technique applied to patients with tooth loss by placing 6 implants at certain angles. Thanks to this treatment method, even patients who have no teeth can get healthy teeth in one day. All-on implants, one of the most preferred treatments by dentists in recent years, include 4 or 6 implant applications. This method can give successful results even in patients with advanced bone loss.



For the All-on-6 implant technique, the patient's lower and upper jaws are first displayed in detail. As a result of this, the treatment process begins to be planned with the evaluations made. The biggest advantage of All-on 4 and 6 implant techniques compared to the standard implant method is that they last much longer. In addition, another disadvantage of conventional implants is that the treatment process is much longer. Generally, at least 8 implants are needed in the classical method. After these screws are placed, it is necessary to wait at least 3 months for the placement of dentures on them. On the other hand, the All-on-6 method offers patients the chance to have healthy teeth with a single procedure.

All-on-6 implants are placed in the upper and lower jaws, with the implants in the front at an angle of 90 degrees and the ones in the back at an angle of 45 degrees. On the same day, temporary prosthetic teeth are attached to the implants. It is expected that the screws will fuse with these temporary prostheses in an average of 3 months. Then, the treatment is completed by attaching the permanent teeth to be used by the patients. In addition to creating an aesthetic result, All-on-6 treatment also eliminates serious problems caused by advanced tooth loss. The best advantage of this method is that it can be applied even in edentulous patients with advanced bone deficiency. All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant treatments, which have been used by dentists for about 10 years, have a very high success rate.

There is no risk in this operation. The probability of developing complications after the operation performed under local anesthesia is extremely low and almost non-existent. Since All-on-6 is a method that has existed in the world of dentistry for many years, today it is a very reliable operation with the use of modern technology. However, All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants are not a suitable treatment for everyone. The primary condition sought for this treatment is that the general health status of the patients is appropriate. Chronic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure are barriers to treatment. Apart from this, there is no upper age limit for treatment. Successful results are obtained even in 80-year-old patients with All-on-6 dental implant treatment.

One of the issues that patients are most curious about is the diet after treatment. After the All-on-6 implant procedure, patients can start eating immediately. However, it will be beneficial to avoid very hard foods for 3 months when temporary prostheses will be used. In the event that hard foods damage these prostheses, immediate intervention is required to avoid loss of implants. After permanent teeth are placed, patients can easily consume any food.

A slight pain may be felt on the first day after the application, painkillers given by our physicians will easily control this problem. It is normal to see swelling and a slight pain in the first days, but if these symptoms last for a long time or get out of control, it is necessary to consult our physicians without losing any time. Patients should continue to apply their oral and dental care regularly without interrupting.

All-on-4 and All-on-6, which have many advantages over conventional dental implants, are also a less costly treatment. If you want to benefit from this treatment, you can call your personal consultant 24/7
