All on Six
“All-on-6” dental treatment is a specialized implant treatment method for individuals who are edentulous or experiencing tooth loss. This treatment involves the placement of four implants for either the upper or lower jaw. These implants serve as replacements for the natural teeth, providing support for a fixed prosthesis or a set of teeth.

Considerations:
- Assessment and Planning: The first stage involves the dentist and dental prosthesis specialist assessing the patient’s condition and creating an appropriate treatment plan. During this stage, the locations of the implants and the treatment process are determined.
- Implant Placement: The second stage involves the surgical placement of six implants into the jawbone. These implants are strategically positioned, often using a special technique, to provide a stable foundation.
- Temporary Prosthesis: After the implants are placed, a temporary prosthesis can be attached. This prosthesis supports the healing process of the implants while addressing the patient’s aesthetic and functional needs.
- Permanent Prosthesis: Once the healing is complete, the permanent prosthesis is attached to the implants. This prosthesis provides a stable and functional jaw structure that aesthetically resembles natural teeth.
Advantages:
- Increased Support: All-on-6 treatment provides greater support and stability by using six implants. This is particularly crucial for restoring a toothless jaw.
- Strength and Durability: The use of six implants typically results in a stronger jaw structure, enhancing the long-term durability of the treatment.
- Aesthetic Results: All-on-6 treatment delivers aesthetically satisfying results, helping the patient achieve a natural smile.
Considerations:
- Patient Selection: All-on-6 treatment may not be suitable for every patient. It’s essential to consult with a specialist dentist to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you.
- Maintenance: Implants require regular care, similar to natural teeth. Emphasis should be placed on good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
