Advances in modern dentistry have made it possible for those with removable dentures or missing teeth to have a bright smile and the comfort and stability of natural teeth.
All-on-6 Dental Implants even make it possible for patients with limited jaw bone tissue to enjoy a full set of fixed teeth with only six dental implants. Unlike traditional dental implants that often require bone grafting in individuals with limited bone, the All-on-6 procedure utilizes a patient’s existing available bone, placing the six implants in the areas with the greatest bone density to better distribute the pressure placed on the teeth. The implants are attached to the bridge the day they are implanted. A temporary immediate set of teeth is created for use by the patient while the implants grow into the patient’s jawbone, usually within six months. At that time the permanent teeth are then installed.
The All-on-6 can be used with nearly all stages of tooth loss and decayed bone tissue.
Patients enjoy many advantages with All-on-6 dental implants, beginning with the fact that there is virtually no need for bone grafting. There is also a fast recovery time. Unlike with removable dentures, there is no need to take them out, or for denture adhesive or daily soaking. Removable denture wearers will especially notice a big difference when they eat. Removable dentures have only 20 percent of the chewing power of implants, which are equal to natural teeth. Additionally, because the patient is able to eat more, the stimulation of the jaw bone helps to keep it from degenerating, which typically takes place with removable dentures.
Daily cleaning of the All-on-6 dental implants is easy. All-on-6 dental implants also have a proven track record with a high success rate…read more
