All on 6 Implant
All on 6 (All on Six) Implant Technique
All on 6 implant technique; It is based on the procedure of placing 6 implants in the upper jaw and 6 implants in the lower jaw.
With the “all on 6” implant technique, a permanent fixed prosthesis can be applied to the lower jaw in at least 5 weeks and the upper jaw within a minimum of 12 weeks. This method, which allows the dental prosthesis to be fixed on the same day, is an advanced technology technique. It is a suitable technique for our patients who had bone loss, especially in the posterior tooth areas, to use fixed teeth.
All on Six implants are a dental procedure used to reconstruct a person’s mouth when one or both jaws have lost a significant number of teeth. This procedure gives 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 with low bone density or volume in their jaws.
Not everyone may be candidates for all ten dental implants. If you are a smoker or have diabetes, you may not be an ideal candidate for this procedure.
