All-on-4® & All-on-6® Implants

As mentioned, the first step of the process before considering implants will be to make sure you are the right candidate.  Ensuring that patient criteria is fully met and adequate stability is achieved is essential.  If you are have failing bridges and crowns, All-on-4® & All-on-6® implants would be the next logical step.  Likewise, if you’ve had dentures for a long time that haven’t been secured or you’ve been told that you can’t have dental implants for one reason or another.  It is likely that you’ll be an ideal candidate for this patient-friendly, scientifically proven, full-arch rehabilitation treatment with All-on-4® & All-on-6® implants.

After the initial consultation to identify if you are a suitable candidate, the next stage of treatment will be offering sedation – if you are a nervous patient and feel like you require it.  Generally speaking, All-On-4® and All- On-6® implant treatment doesn’t tend to cause much pain but can be uncomfortable for some patients during the healing period.  Once you are ready and comfortable, we will remove any teeth, if required, and replacing them with implants.  Initially, four implants are placed with a ‘provisional bridge’ .  This means you won’t need to wear a denture during the healing period.  Following the healing period, the provisional bridge is replaced by the final permanent bridge, which is made of acrylic or porcelain.   This is designed to look and feel just like healthy, natural teeth and gums. Our experienced and knowledgeable dentists will then create your new provisional teeth to fit perfectly before they are fitted.

Implants can normally take anywhere between 4-12 months to be fully integrated into your jaw and bite function once they are fitted.

If patient criteria are met and adequate stability achieved  – our implants can be loaded with a fixed provisional restoration on the day of surgery.

All in all, there isn’t that much difference between All-on-4® & All-on-6® dental implants.  Perhaps the main difference is the fact that the All-on-6® dental implants provide you with an extra two implants which is beneficial for patients who may be lacking that much-needed strength and stability in their mouth.  By adding the extra two implants, the pressure and bite down is distributed more evenly, providing greater comfort enabling you to be able smile, eat, talk and live your life with confidence.
