How Does the All-on-6 Treatment Process Work?

The treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and imaging. After evaluating bone structure, six implants are placed strategically. A temporary prosthesis is attached during the healing phase. Once healing is complete, permanent prosthetics are fitted. Each stage is carefully managed by our team.

What Are the Stages of All-on-6 Treatment?

The All-on-6 implant application is planned specifically for each individual's oral and jaw structure. The general stages are as follows:

Examination and Evaluation: The treatment process begins with a detailed examination performed by a specialized dentist. The mouth, teeth, and jaw structure are evaluated.
Imaging and Planning: Advanced technologies such as radiographic imaging and 3D tomography are used to determine the areas where the implants will be placed.
Surgical Placement: Six implants are placed into the jawbone. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so no discomfort is felt.
Temporary Prosthesis: A temporary fixed prosthesis can be attached on the same day or within a short period.
Healing Process: On average, within 3-6 months, the implants integrate with the bone.
Permanent Prosthesis Application: Finally, long lasting fixed prostheses are mounted onto the implants.

Who is Suitable For All-on-6 Implants?

Those who have lost all their teeth or have a large number of missing teeth.
Those who are uncomfortable using removable dentures.
Those seeking a more stable and aesthetic solution.
Individuals with suitable jawbone volume.

A well planned All-on-6 application can significantly improve the quality of life.

Who Is All-on-6 Not Suitable For?

While All-on-6 treatment is a great solution for many, it might not be suitable or could be risky in some situations:

Insufficient Bone: Individuals without enough bone volume for implant placement.
Uncontrolled Diseases: Those with uncontrolled systemic conditions like diabetes or severe heart problems.
Heavy Smokers: Smoking significantly harms the healing process.
Severe Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Unmanaged bruxism can damage implants.
Poor Oral Hygiene: People who don't maintain good oral hygiene face a higher risk of infection.
Certain Medications: Individuals taking specific medications that affect bone or blood.
Pregnant Individuals: Treatment is usually postponed during pregnancy.

For a definitive decision in these cases, it's crucial to consult with a specialized dentist.

What Does Placing 6 Implants on the Upper Jaw Mean?

Placing 6 implants on the upper jaw enables the creation of an infrastructure capable of supporting a fixed prosthesis in individuals with complete tooth loss. Thanks to implants positioned at special angles, maximum support is obtained from the bone structure. This system provides a satisfying result both aesthetically and functionally.

Differences between All-on-6 and All-on-4

All-on-4 uses four implants per arch, while All-on-6 offers additional support with six implants. This allows for better load distribution and increased durability. Based on your needs and bone condition, our specialists will recommend the most suitable option.

All-on-6 Oral Hygiene Routine

Maintaining a consistent oral hygiene routine after your All-on-6 implant procedure is crucial for the longevity and health of your implants. Here are the essential steps you should follow:

Daily Brushing: Brush at least twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Gently clean all surfaces of your prosthesis and the areas where it meets your gums.
Use of Special Cleaning Tools: It's critical to use tools like interdental brushes, specialized implant floss, or a water flosser to clean under your prosthesis and around your implants. These tools reach areas that a regular toothbrush cannot, effectively removing food particles and plaque.
Mouthwash: Regularly use an antiseptic mouthwash recommended by your dentist. This helps reduce bacterial load and lowers the risk of oral infections.
Regular Dental Check-ups: It's mandatory to attend regular check-ups with your dentist (typically twice a year). These visits are essential for monitoring the health of your implants and prosthesis, performing professional cleanings, and detecting any potential issues early.

Following this simple yet effective routine will help ensure your All-on-6 implants remain healthy and functional for many years.

What to Consider After All-on-6?

After the implants are placed, the healing process begins. Some points to consider during this period include:

Soft and nutritious foods should be consumed. (Fish, scrambled eggs, tofu, and protein-rich yogurt are recommended.)
Oral hygiene must be maintained, and the dentist's recommended care routine should be followed.
Excessive physical exertion and hard foods should be avoided.
Scheduled check ups should not be neglected.

This period is crucial for the implants to be long lasting and healthy.

What Should Your Diet Be Like After All-on-6 Treatment?

Immediately after surgery, you'll need to be extremely careful with your diet to support healing in the surgical area and prevent irritation.

You should primarily consume:

Cool or Lukewarm Liquids: Water, herbal teas (lukewarm), broth (lukewarm), milk, strained compote.
Pureed, Smooth Foods: Yogurt, ayran (a savory yogurt drink), kefir, pudding, pureed soups (without chunks), fruit purees (like banana or apple puree).
Nutritional Drinks: Protein shakes or liquid meal replacements.

What to Avoid After All-on-6 Treatment?

To ensure proper healing and prevent irritation after your All-on-6 treatment, you should avoid:

Very hot or very cold foods/drinks: Extreme temperatures can increase sensitivity.
Acidic beverages: Drinks like orange juice or soda can irritate the surgical site.
Using a straw: Sipping through a straw can create negative pressure, dislodging the blood clot (leading to dry socket).
Alcohol and smoking: These negatively affect the healing process and increase infection risk.
Spicy foods: They can cause irritation.

Does the All-on-6 Implant Procedure Cause Pain?

Yes, it's normal to experience mild to moderate pain and swelling after the procedure. This is usually well-controlled with prescribed pain medication and typically subsides within a few days.

Is It Hard to Take Care of All-on-6 Implants?

Care after All-on-6 implant treatment is not as difficult as commonly believed, but it does require a regular and diligent approach. It's fundamentally similar to caring for your natural teeth, with a few extra considerations due to your prosthesis's unique structure.

Healing Period: In the first few months, follow your dentist's dietary recommendations (soft foods) and pay extra attention to oral hygiene.
After Permanent Prosthesis: In addition to daily brushing, it's crucial to use special brushes or a water flosser to clean under the implant and prosthesis.
Regular Check-ups: Consistent routine check-ups with your dentist are vital for the long-term health of your implants.

What is the average lifespan of All-on-6 implants?

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, All-on-6 implants can last a lifetime. They have a very high success rate and offer long-term durability.

Is All-on-6 Implant Treatment Risky?

All-on-6 implant treatment is generally a safe method with a high success rate. However, like any surgical procedure, it can involve some risks and potential complications. These risks are typically low and can be minimized when performed by an experienced surgeon.

What Are the Potential Risks After All-on-6 Implant Placement?

Potential risks following All-on-6 implant placement include:

Infection: There's a risk of infection at the implant site, which can be significantly reduced with proper sterilization, post-operative care, and antibiotics.
Implant Failure: The implant may fail to integrate properly with the jawbone (osseointegration). This can happen due to poor bone quality, smoking, inadequate oral hygiene, or certain uncontrolled systemic diseases.
Sinus Problems: For implants placed in the upper jaw, there's a rare risk of sinus perforation due to proximity to the sinus cavity. An experienced surgeon minimizes this risk through careful planning.
Nerve Damage: Though rare, nerve damage leading to numbness or pain can occur if a nerve is too close to the implant site. This risk is reduced with detailed surgical planning.
Excessive Bleeding or Swelling: While mild bleeding and swelling are normal, excessive amounts are rare but may require dental intervention.
Prosthesis Complications: Issues like breakage, loosening, or poor fit of the temporary or permanent prosthesis can occur, but these are usually resolved with adjustments or repairs.
