All-on-6
What is All-on-6?
"All-on-6" is a dental restoration technique used to replace all missing teeth in the mouth with a single implant bridge. The All-on-6 procedure provides an effective treatment option for patients experiencing tooth loss, offering complete dental restoration. However, since each patient has different needs and conditions, the treatment plan should be customized for each individual.

How long does the recovery process take for All-on-6?
Immediate Post-Operative Recovery: After the placement of implants, symptoms like mild swelling, pain, and bleeding may be experienced. This is normal and usually subsides within a few days.
Implant Integration: Implants must form a strong bond with the jawbone, a process called "osseointegration," which can take several months. Once the healing and fusion process between the implants and the jawbone is complete, a stable foundation is established, and the prosthetic bridge is attached.
Temporary and Permanent Prosthesis Placement: After the integration of the implants is complete, a temporary prosthetic bridge can be placed. This temporary prosthesis helps the patient regain chewing function and achieve an aesthetic appearance during the healing phase. Subsequently, the permanent prosthetic bridge is placed and secured over the implants.
Check-ups and Care: Throughout the healing process, patients should regularly visit their dentist for check-ups. During these visits, the condition of the implants and prosthetic bridge is evaluated, and adjustments are made if necessary. Additionally, patients are instructed on the proper care and hygiene of the implant and prosthetic bridge.
Number and Location of Implants
As the name suggests, All-on-6 requires the placement of six implants in the lower jaw. These implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone and are typically positioned at specific angles using a special arrangement.
Prosthetic Restoration
After the implants are placed, a prosthetic bridge is attached to the implants. This bridge consists of a series of artificial teeth placed over the implants. The prosthesis is either screwed or cemented onto the implants and can be removable or fixed.
Surgical Procedure
The All-on-6 procedure typically requires a surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. Since the placement of implants involves surgery, the recovery process is crucial.
Application Advantages
All-on-6 provides complete dental restoration for patients experiencing tooth loss. Other advantages include the use of fewer implants, rapid recovery, reduced surgical requirements, and cost benefits.
Aesthetic and Functional Aspects
The All-on-6 procedure offers an aesthetic appearance similar to natural teeth for the patient. Additionally, the prosthetic bridge placed over the implants restores chewing function, allowing the patient to eat safely.
Am I a suitable candidate for the All-on-6 procedure?
- All-on-6 may be a suitable solution for individuals who have lost all or a significant number of their teeth. People experiencing tooth loss but having adequate jawbone volume may be suitable candidates for the All-on-6 procedure.
- Sufficient healthy jawbone is required for the placement of implants. Adequate jawbone volume is essential for the stable placement and successful integration of implants.
- Generally, All-on-6 may be more suitable for healthy individuals with good healing capabilities. Particularly, individuals with chronic health issues like diabetes may require extra care before and after dental implant procedures.
- Smoking can negatively affect the successful healing and integration of implants. Smokers should consult their dentist to determine if they are suitable candidates for the All-on-6 procedure.
- The All-on-6 procedure is designed to meet both aesthetic and functional expectations. Candidates may expect to achieve a natural look similar to natural teeth and regain chewing function.
