All-on-6 is a similar concept to All-on-4, but with six dental implants used to support a full set of teeth instead of four. This option is often chosen for patients who may need a bit more stability or have less bone density in their jaw than those opting for All-on-4.

Here’s more about All-on-6:

1. Number of Implants:
As the name suggests, six dental implants are placed in the jawbone—three at the front and three at the back. This provides additional support, especially in cases where there may not be enough bone in the back of the jaw.

2. Procedure:
– Similar to All-on-4, the implants are placed strategically in areas with the best bone density.
– Once the implants are placed, a temporary set of teeth can often be attached the same day, allowing y…

– More natural function: With more points of support, the fixed bridge feels even more stable, which can improve chewing function and speech.

4. Who’s a Candidate?:
All-on-6 is typically a good choice for:
– Patients with extensive tooth loss or damage across a full arch.
– People who have adequate jawbone to support six implants, or who might need extra stability.
– Those who are looking for a more permanent, fixed solution compared to dentures.

5. Recovery and Aftercare:
– Recovery time is similar to All-on-4, although it might be a bit longer due to the additional implants.
– Proper oral hygiene and follow-up visits are essential to ensure the implants integrate properly and avoid complications.

6. Cost:
The cost of All-on-6 is usually higher than All-on-4 because of the additional implants and possibly the complexity of the procedure. However, it is still more cost-effective than traditional implant placements for each individual tooth.

7. When to Consider All-on-6 Over All-on-4:

– If your bone density is lower in the posterior region of your jaw, as All-on-6 can provide better distribution of pressure across the implants.
– If you want extra peace of mind and a more secure restoration.
