All-on-6 Dental Implants

If you’re looking for a robust and long-lasting solution for missing teeth, All-on-6 dental implants could be the perfect choice. At Purley Dental Care, we offer the advanced All-on-6 treatment, providing a full-arch restoration with six implants, placed strategically. This method offers enhanced stability and support for those with significant bone density loss, ensuring a confident and natural-looking smile.

Understanding the Difference Between All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dental Implants

When considering full-arch dental restoration, it's important to understand the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants. The distinction lies in the number of implants used to support the prosthetic teeth. All-on-4 implants utilise four optimally placed implants to anchor the entire arch, making it an excellent choice for patients with limited bone density. In contrast, All-on-6 implants employ six implants, providing enhanced stability and support. This additional support is particularly beneficial for patients with greater bone density or those seeking a more durable and long-lasting solution. Both methods offer secure, permanent replacements for missing teeth, but All-on-6 implants may deliver improved strength and a more even distribution of bite forces.

Benefits of All-on-6 Dental Implants

Enhanced Stability: With six implants anchoring the prosthetic teeth, All-on-6 provides superior stability, reducing the risk of movement or slippage during eating and speaking.

Increased Support: The additional implants offer better support for the jawbone, helping to preserve bone density and prevent further bone loss.

Natural Aesthetics: Custom-made prosthetic teeth are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Long-Lasting Solution: All-on-6 implants are designed to last many years, often a lifetime, with proper care and maintenance.

Comfort and Confidence: With a secure fit and natural appearance, All-on-6 implants restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

The All-on-6 Process at Purley Dental Care

The All-on-6 treatment involves a detailed, step-by-step approach to ensure the best possible outcome:

1

Initial Consultation

We begin with a thorough assessment of your dental health, which includes X-rays and digital scans, to determine your suitability for All-on-6 implants. We’ll discuss your goals and create a personalised treatment plan.

2

Implant Placement

During a single surgical procedure, six implants are strategically placed into your jawbone. These implants are positioned to maximise contact with the bone, providing a stable foundation for your new teeth.

3

Temporary Teeth

In many cases, following surgery, a temporary set of teeth can be immediately fixed to the implants, allowing you to leave with a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.

4

Healing Period

It takes some time for the implants to integrate with your jawbone, and this process is called osseointegration. This usually lasts a few months, during which your implants will form a strong, permanent bond with the bone.

5

Final Prosthesis

Once healing is complete, we’ll replace the temporary teeth with your custom-designed permanent prosthesis. These final teeth will be tailored to match your preferences, ensuring a perfect fit and natural look.

6

Follow-Up Care

We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor the condition of your implants and prostheses. We’ll also guide how to care for your new teeth to maintain their longevity and appearance.

Caring for Your All-on-6 Dental Implants

Proper care is essential for maintaining the health and function of your All-on-6 dental implants:

  • Daily Cleaning: Brush your implants twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Regular cleaning helps to prevent plaque build-up and gum disease.
  • Flossing and Interdental Brushes: Use floss or interdental brushes to clean between your implants and remove any food particles or plaque.
  • Regular Dental Visits: Schedule regular check-ups at Purley Dental Care to ensure your implants are in good condition and to address any issues early.
  • Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a balanced diet and avoid smoking, as these factors can affect the success of your implants and overall oral health.
