All-on-6 is a fixed prosthetic technique applied to patients with tooth loss by placing implants at specific angles.
It is one of the treatments most favoured by dentists in recent years, and involves 4 or 6 implants. This method can give successful results even for patients with advanced bone loss.
For the All-on-6 implant technique, first of all, the patient's lower and upper jaws are examined in detail. The treatment is then planned on the basis of these assessments. The biggest advantage of All-on-6 implants compared with the standard implant method is that they last longer. Another difference compared with classic implants is that the treatment process is much shorter.
In the classic method, at least 8 implants are usually needed. After these screws are inserted, it is necessary to wait at least 3 months before the artificial teeth are fitted on them. The All-on-6 method, on the other hand, gives patients the chance to have healthy teeth through a single procedure.
How is All-on-6 carried out?
All-on-6 implants are placed in the upper and lower jaws, with the implants at the front placed at a 90-degree angle and the others at the back at a 45-degree angle. On the same day, temporary artificial teeth are fixed onto the implants. With these temporary prostheses in place, the screws are expected to fuse with the bone over an average of 3 months. The treatment is then completed by attaching the permanent teeth for patients to use.
As well as creating an aesthetic result, All-on-6 treatment also removes the serious problems caused by advanced tooth loss. The best feature of this method is that it can be applied even in patients with severe bone weakness and advanced bone deficiency. All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant treatments, which dentists have used for about 10 years, have achieved a very high success rate.
What are the risks of the surgery?
There is no risk in this procedure. The likelihood of complications after the procedure, which is carried out under local anaesthesia, is extremely low
and almost non-existent.
The method has existed in the world of dentistry for many years, so today the process is very reliable with All-on-6.
Who can have it?
It is not a treatment for everyone. The basic requirement for this treatment is that the patient's general state of health is suitable for All-on-6.
Chronic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure are considered obstacles to treatment.
There is no upper age limit for treatment.
Successful results are achieved even in patients aged 80.
All-on-6 after treatment
The patient may feel mild pain on the first day after the procedure, and the painkillers provided by our doctors will easily control this. It is normal to see slight swelling and soreness in the first few days, but if these symptoms continue for a long time or get out of control, you should consult our doctors without delay. Patients should continue regular oral and dental care without interruption.
Ice, painkillers and the antibiotics provided by the dentist should be used during the first 7-10 days. You should not spit; you can gently rinse your mouth with water if there is bleeding.
One of the issues patients are most curious about is diet after treatment. After the All-on-6 implant procedure,
patients can start eating immediately. However, it is advisable to avoid very hard foods for 3 months while the temporary prostheses are in use.
If hard foods damage these prostheses, immediate intervention is needed to avoid losing the implants. After the permanent teeth are fitted, patients can easily eat any food.
