Although indispensable for human survival, not everyone is graced to have a full set of natural functional teeth. This could be due to health conditions, age or genetics, but whatsoever be the cause, all-on-6s could definitely provide a solution.
Very similar to the all-on-4 procedure, this process involves the placement of 6 dental implants per jawbone. These implants will serve as foundation to carry and support the crowns, for teeth restoration. This is mostly practiced within patients of total tooth loss, gum disease, or jaw bone decay.
The process starts with thorough consultation and oral health assessment by your dental specialist. After assessment and approval of the treatment plan, the operation can begin.Â
Firstly, your dental specialist will administer a few doses of anesthesia or sedatives, depending on the outcome of your consultation. When the numbing effect kicks in, your dental specialist now has to fit in the posts. The post is the downer part of the implant, screw-like in shape, and which replaces the teeth roots. If going for an all-on-6, you will need 4 posts per jawbone.
To fit these in, your dentist will create cavities in the jawbone, in which he will fixate the posts. Once fitted, the posts will be covered with a few stitches, and left to heal for about 3-4 months. During this period, the post fuses with the jawbone through osseointegration, permitting it to effectively replace teeth roots.Â
After osseointegration is achieved, it is time to place the crowns and complete the process. If you had provisional crowns on, they will then be replaced with the permanent ones. Once placed, your dentist will check for biting abilities, comfort, and overall aesthetics.
Once all double checking is done and your expectations met, you will receive aftercare recommendations. This will involve dos and don’ts to ensure your results last as long as possible. You will then be able to go home with your newly found confidence, and smile at the world.
Â
Not only will you have teeth afresh, but they equally will be as solid and reliable as the natural ones.
Â
Unlike traditional implants which require 6 months healing before crown placement, all-on-6s have you rocking crowns immediately. You get to go home with provisional crowns while osseointegration takes place, so your mouth keeps some aesthetic while at it.Â
Â
Your confidence will experience a huge boost after the all-on-6 procedure, due to the dashing effect they’ll add to your smile.Â
Â
With the completion of the all-on-6 procedure, you will regain full function and usage of your teeth and mouth. This means you will be able to bite, chew, talk, and play instruments like you did with your natural teeth.

The fixation of provisional crowns during osseointegration makes the overall procedure a little pricey. However, these provisional implants are strictly for esthetic purposes, and are not mandatory.
All-on-4s/6s have been proven to stand the test of time, with over 99% of them lasting over 25 years. However, this lasting period could vary depending on crown choice and oral hygiene, since they play a huge part in longevity. A few aftercare recommendations for improved longevity include brushing and flossing, routine checkups, and wearing mouth guards during sports.
