All on Six Dental Implants in London

What are All-on-6 dental implants?

All-on-6 dental implants are also known as full-arch teeth replacement. They provide better stability in teeth function during chewing to overcome slipping while chewing that occurs with traditional complete dentures. It gives a better aesthetic and durable solution for replacing the whole arch teeth. All-on-6 dental implants provide a stable base for the restorative prosthesis that resolves aesthetic and functional problems.

In All-on-6 dental implants, six biocompatible titanium implants are placed at the jaw bone to provide strong support. These implants fuse with surrounding bone with an osseointegration process. After healing restorative prosthesis, dentures are fixed over the implant with the help of a connector, providing durable, comfortable teeth function and a radiant smile.

What is the treatment plan for getting All-on-6 dental implants?

In the Dental Care Centre, our experienced dental surgeons make a personalised treatment plan to address missing teeth problems by complete mouth reconstruction according to individual health conditions and overall dental health.

• • Initial assessment and consultation: Our expert oral and implant specialists carefully examine all the minor details before implant surgery. Take complete dental and medical history, such as diabetes, hypertension, and other bone abnormal conditions. A comprehensive examination of jaw bone and estimate of overall oral health with the help of 3D scanners, cone beam CT scan, and OPG radiograph provides accuracy in implant placement. Our expert dental surgeon also evaluates the need for additional dental procedures such as extraction and bone augmentation.
  • Treatment plan: After evaluation, our expert implant specialist makes a treatment plan to place implants in the jaw. Six titanium implants are placed in each arch to keep an adequate gap between implants to provide maximum support and stability. Our experts will explain the All-on-6 Implant procedure and clear all the concerns related to the treatment. After this, our expert surgeon schedules an appointment for the surgical placement of the implant and gives all necessary pre-operative preparation instructions.
  • Implant placement: On treatment day, our oral and implant surgeon skillfully place the six implants in the jaw bone according to the treatment plan under local anesthesia or sedation. After surgery, interim dentures or temporary dentures are placed over the implant. Our dedicated implant team gives post-operative instructions such as taking a soft diet, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and maintaining good oral hygiene.
  • Osteo integration process: After successful implant placement, complete jaw bone healing requires 3 to 4 months. The implant is tightly attached to the surrounding bone with the help of the osteointegration process (fusion of the implant with the bone). Regular follow-up is necessary during the healing process to monitor proper healing.
  • Placement of restoration: After healing, our dentist designs a restoration that can be placed over the implant to restore teeth function and a radiant smile. The selection of restoration depends upon implant support and the jaw bone structure. All-on-6 implants provide flexibility in the restoration selection, including complete dentures and different types of bridges that can be placed over implants to restore the function that depends upon individual dental needs and preferences.
  • Follow-up: The durability and stability of All-on-6 Implants depend upon regular follow-up and maintenance of good oral hygiene. During your follow-up, our expert surgeon takes different radiographs to check the bone around the implants and examines the soft tissue to identify any early signs of implant failure.

What are the benefits of an All-on-6 implant compared to other implant options?

• Improve support: All-on-6 dental implants provide better support and stability to the restorative prosthesis with the help of secure foundations by placing six implants in the jaw bone that improve prosthesis stability and efficiently resolve denture slippage problems while chewing food.
• Better facial aesthetics: All-on-6 dental implants restore facial aesthetics more effectively than other teeth replacement options, especially by reconstructing the upper jaw bone. It gives a younger look by resolving sunken check problems.
• Distribute implant load: When all the functional loads of the denture or bridge are on four implants, this may affect implant durability. All-on-6 dental implants evenly distribute implant load, reduce bone resorption around the implant, and provide durable results.
• Maintain jaw bone density: Due to prolonged missing teeth, jaw bone may show resorption and decreased density. Placement of the implant in the jaw bone resolves the bone resorption and maintains its density.
• Flexible prosthetic options: All-on-6 dental implants provide a variety of restoration designed according to patient needs to restore better function and facial aesthetics due to stable support in the bone, such as a complete denture bridge.
• Durability: All-on-6 dental implants provide better stability and give long-term treatment results with proper oral hygiene practice and regular follow-up maintained All-on-6 dental implants for a lifetime.
