All-on-6 implantation

If you want to forget about the inconvenience of removable dentures and confidently smile again, schedule a consultation at Dynasty Stomatology dental center in Czech Republic. Here, you can undergo implantation using six implants or choose other treatment methods. After an examination, an experienced dentist will select the optimal solution tailored to your needs, preferences, and budget.

What is All-on-6?

All-on-6 is an implantation method involving the placement of six implants in one jaw to support a fixed denture. This allows for full dental restoration even with complete tooth loss (edentulism). The implants are strategically placed throughout the jaw, providing reliable fixation and stability for the prosthesis. This approach is especially suitable for patients who find removable dentures uncomfortable or who have significant bone loss.

Benefits of All-on-6 Protocol and Disadvantages

The All-on-6 implantation method is considered one of the most reliable and effective implant treatments even for full arch tooth loss.

Indications for All-on-6 Implantation

The All-on-6 method opens new possibilities for restoring the full arch of missing teeth in cases of complete or multiple edentulism. This dental implant technique is especially relevant when traditional prosthetic solutions are impossible or inconvenient.

Indications for implantation and prosthetic treatment on 6 implants:

• complete edentulism of the upper or lower jaw;
• multiple missing teeth (absence of most teeth);
• unsatisfactory experience with removable dentures;
• inability to restore teeth with traditional bridge prostheses;
• desire for a reliable permanent solution with a natural appearance;
• moderate bone and gum atrophy, where the all-on-6 implant method is still applicable.

Contraindications

Despite the high effectiveness and versatility of the all-on-6 implant procedure, certain conditions may temporarily or completely prevent implant placement.

Contraindications include:

• severe inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity (gingivitis, active periodontitis);
• oncological diseases (during treatment);
• uncontrolled diabetes mellitus;
• serious cardiovascular diseases;
• mental disorders preventing compliance with medical recommendations;
• alcohol and drug addiction;
• significant bone and gum deficiency without possibility of augmentation;
• pregnancy (relative contraindication).

Before any surgical intervention, the implantologist at our dental clinic conducts a thorough examination to exclude risks and guarantee the safety of the all-on-6 dental implant procedure.

Prosthetic Methods According to the All-on-6 Protocol

All-on-6 implantation can be performed using one of two protocols depending on the clinical situation and the condition of the jawbone. Both methods allow full arch restoration in cases of complete or multiple edentulism.

Main prosthetic methods of all-on-6:

1. One-stage (immediate) implantation. Remaining damaged teeth are extracted on the day of implantation, followed by placing the implants immediately. Temporary teeth (prostheses) are attached to the implants within 72 hours. This method ensures minimal treatment time and fast aesthetic and functional rehabilitation.
2. Two-stage implantation. Implants are placed in the bone tissue, followed by a healing period (3 to 6 months). After full integration with the jawbone, final dental prosthetics are installed. This method is used in cases of severe bone deficiency or complex clinical situations.

Our dental clinic specialists will help you choose the optimal all-on-6 procedure for full or partial edentulism, considering your health specifics and personal preferences.

Stages and Timeline of Implant Placement According to the All-on-6 Protocol

The all-on-6 method involves placing implants through several sequential steps. Thanks to innovative technologies and precise planning, patients seeking a solution for missing teeth can restore their smile and return to a full life within days after the intervention. The sequence of the procedure is as follows:

1. Consultation and dental examination. Oral cavity inspection, computer tomography (CBCT), 3D imaging, and jaw impressions are performed. The dentist evaluates bone condition and designs an individual treatment plan.
2. Preparation. Oral hygiene and sanitation are carried out to ensure successful integration of 6 implants and to prevent inflammation or complications. Removal of carious teeth, old fillings, treatment of inflamed gums, and any infection foci are performed along with professional cleaning from plaque and tartar.
3. 3D modeling and surgical template creation. Based on CBCT data, a precise three-dimensional surgical guide is made, allowing implants to be placed without incisions and sutures, minimizing trauma to the gums.
4. Surgical stage. Implants are placed into the bone through small openings. The all-on-6 implant procedure takes 1-2 hours and is done under anesthesia. If necessary, remaining teeth are extracted beforehand.
5. Temporary prosthetics. Temporary teeth are attached immediately after surgery, ensuring aesthetics and chewing function, allowing patients to enjoy normal life without prolonged discomfort.
6. Permanent prosthetics. After the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone (3-6 months), a new impression is taken and the dentist fixes the final dental prosthesis (bridge or denture), ensuring durability and natural appearance.

The entire all-on-6 work with all stages takes from 3 to 6 months, depending on the implantation method and patient’s health condition.

Service Life and Care

The service life of implants depends on many factors, including the quality of materials, the professionalism of the dentist, the condition of the jawbone, and the patient’s adherence to dental hygiene recommendations. On average, structures made from zirconia and other materials can last from 10 to 20 years, provided good hygiene is maintained and regular dental check-ups are done. However, the lifespan may be shorter if the patient neglects oral hygiene or has serious chronic diseases affecting periodontal health.

Proper care for implants plays a key role in maintaining their durability and successful integration. Failure to follow basic hygiene rules can lead to inflammation, plaque buildup, infection, and even loss of the prosthesis.

Care recommendations for All-on-6 implants:

1. Regular home dental hygiene. Brush teeth and dentures at least twice a day using a soft-bristle brush and toothpaste without abrasive particles.
2. Use of dental floss. Always use dental floss or special interdental brushes to clean the spaces between teeth and implants.
3. Rinse the oral cavity with antiseptic solutions. This helps reduce the risk of gum inflammation and tartar formation.
4. Regular dental check-ups. Visit your dentist every 6-12 months to monitor the condition of implants and their integration.
5. Avoid chewing hard foods and objects. For example, nuts, ice, or hard candies, and avoid opening bottles with your teeth.
6. Quit smoking. Nicotine slows healing and can cause implant rejection.
7. Proper nutrition. Try to avoid excessively hot or cold foods and products that may overload teeth and gums.

Following these simple recommendations will help you keep your all-on-6 implants and complete set of teeth in excellent condition for many years.

Cost of All-on-6 Dental Implantation and Prosthetics
