All-on-6 is a procedure in which a prosthesis is fixed on six implants, placed at specific angles, on the same day. It is for fully edentulous patients, meaning people with no teeth left.
This technique is used for patients who have lost all their teeth, or need to have them extracted, and who have no bone at the back of the jaw. For the patient, having fixed teeth on the same day is a big advantage. The patient must also have enough bone volume and no condition that rules out implant surgery. If there is not enough bone, sinus lift or grafting procedures are performed at our partner clinics.
What are the stages of All-on-6 treatment?
Before All-on-6 treatment, patients first have a detailed clinical and radiological evaluation. Computerised tomography (CT) scans are used to create a personalised treatment plan.
All-on-6 is a two-stage surgical and prosthetic procedure. On treatment day, the 6 implants are placed according to the plan and a temporary prosthesis is fixed to them the same day. After 3 months, the patient is fitted with permanent dentures.
