All-on-6 Dental Implants
All-on-6 Dental Implants in Forest Hills, Queens
Traditional dentures or “false teeth” in everyday speech, are often uncomfortable to wear. They are affordable but require special care and can cause problems with the gums or the oral cavity, such as irritation and swelling.
All-on-6 teeth replacement technology will be a more convenient, reliable, and durable alternative for those who have lost all their teeth. Such dentures are attached to gums with the help of implants; Therefore they do not move, do not rub the oral mucosa, cannot fall out, and do not require special care. Thanks to the unique attachment technology, there is no gap between the denture and the gum. The risk of food leftovers getting into hard-to-reach places and causing infectious diseases is reduced to zero.
What is the Essence of All-on-6 Dental Implants?
Prosthetic treatment under the all-on-6 protocol involves the installation of six dental implants in a patient’s upper and/or lower jaw to restore lost teeth. Over time, implants located in the jaw fuse with the jawbone, representing natural roots.
Two implants are installed in the frontal jaw zone. The remaining four are placed on both sides in the area of canines and molars (teeth intended for chewing). The posterior implants are set at an angle. This is an important point in cases when a part of the jawbone is atrophied or loose. This also allows for avoiding damage to the nerve ending or sinus membrane.
All-on-6 dental implants often do not require bone grafting. Also, a bridge with a gingival mask typically eliminates the need for post-implant surgery, such as a sinus lift. Each specific case is discussed with a prosthodontist individually.
Benefits of All-on-6 Dental Implants
- You can safely eat your favorite solid food as well as talk and smile without fear that the prosthesis will fall out.
- The implants are made of titanium while the dentures are most often made of porcelain or ceramic. Whichever the material, the artificial teeth do not change shade over time. This means that the smile will remain snow-white even after a while.
- Putting such a prosthesis in place of missing teeth restores the natural features and contour of the face. Thanks to this, the person looks several years younger.
- The installation procedure requires several visits to a dentist over a couple of weeks. The recovery period is quite fast.
- It is a life-term solution. Dental implants are usually a permanent solution to missing teeth.
- The prosthesis does not need to be cleaned and washed after eating. Nor does it need to be removed at night. The care is as simple as possible — it is enough to brush your teeth twice a day as usual.
Who is a Good Candidate for All-on-6 Implants?
This dental treatment will help to solve the problem of completely lost teeth. It is also suitable for patients with partially missing teeth who want to receive a full-arch prosthesis by replacing existing teeth. It is possible to resort to all-on-6 implants if a patient has progressive periodontitis and the bone that holds the natural teeth roots is destroyed.
According to the recommendations of the International Team for Implantology (ITI); It is necessary to reconstruct the dental arch up to and including the sixth tooth (12 teeth in each jaw) if the teeth are lost completely. This method fully restores both the function of the jaw and the aesthetics of the smile. The procedure is divided into two stages; The first is the installation of implants and the second is teeth replacement.
