What are All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-6 is a dental procedure that is used to reconstruct a person’s mouth when they have lost a significant number of teeth in one or both jaws. This process allows an individual the option to replace all of their teeth with six natural-looking and feeling dental implants. All-on-6 implants typically do not require bone grafting, so they are the perfect solution for patients that have low bone density or volume in their jaw.
Benefits of All-on-6:
- Quick recovery
- Enjoy eating and speaking again
- Pearly white smile
- No need for removable dentures
How long does it take?
The entire procedure can be completed in just one day — it often ranges between 2–4 hours!
All-on-6 dental implants cost
As of 2017 the “All-on-6” costs an average of $20,000 — $31,000 per jaw in the United States. This price covers all pre-surgical work up including cone beam CT scan, the first set of All-on-6 and the last set of All-on-6. While Same Procedure with Imported Implant system like Noble Biocare or Straumann or Osstem Implants starts from 3000 USD to 4500 USD Per jaw at Dr Brijesh S Patel’s Brij Dental Clinic, Naranpura, Ahmedabad India.
Before the Procedure:
Though the all-on-6 procedure typically does not require a bone graft, it may be required depending on one’s bone density. No one mouth is the same, so it’s important for your dentist to thoroughly evaluate your mouth before beginning the procedure.
During the Procedure:
With the use of a local anesthetic, dental implants are placed into the jawbone. Provisional prosthesis can then be attached to the implants while they heal. Once the implants have healed, a permanent solution such as a dental bridge or removable over denture will be secured to the implants.
It’s that simple!
After the Procedure:
Post procedure care
In the first 3 months following the procedure, the mouth will be healing and the bone and gums are changing shape to adapt to the new fixture. During this time, patients should exercise caution in eating hard or very chewy foods.
Possible discomfort
Patients should expect some discomfort and swelling after the procedure. For the majority of patients, the most discomfort subsides after a week.
Routine visits to the dentist
Following the procedure, patients will need to make sure to check in with their dentists often — especially in the first 3 months. In order to prevent any complications or getting an infection, it’s crucial to contact your dentist right away if something doesn’t feel right. Once the dental implants have stabilized and there is no more discomfort or pain, check in visits to the dentist can decrease significantly.
- The concept of tilted implants was described by Paulo Malo, Lisbon, Portugal in his state of art All-on-4TMConcept. In this technique, the back implants are slanted distally to place the implant head at the second premolar or first molar position which helps to place longer implants,stabilizing their apices into the anterior higher bicortical bone, and reducing the distal cantilever of the prosthesis.
- In this technique four implants are used two straight implants are placed close to the midline and other two implants are placed anterior to the maxillary sinus (in maxilla) or mental foramen (in mandible) which are slanted distally to reach the second premolar or first molar position. A 10 to 12 unit screw-retained metal to acrylic (hybrid) splinted prosthesis is placed over the implants. But in few patients 10 to 12 unit prosthesis is inadequate due to reduction in mastication and cantilever is more. In such patients, two additional implants are placed posterior to the sinus into the tuberopterygoid bone in the maxilla to support 14 to 16 unit prosthesis. This will help facilitate a proper support for an acrylic prosthesis which can be immediately fixed over the implants to restore the esthetics and functions within few hours after the implant insertion.
- TTPHILTM concept (by dr P Nag) is the newer technique which not only overcomes limitations of axial implants but also disadvantages of All-on-4 concept. Tall (18mm-25mm), Tilted (TT) implants (30ᴏ-45ᴏ) are placed. Tall implants considered good for osseointegration as it provide more surface area and also engaged to the cortical bone i.e. bicortical anchorage. The implants are placed in Pinhole (PH) manner i.e.
flapless. All implants are immediately loaded (IL) within 48 hours after extraction. What is TTPHIL IMPLANTOLOGY?
