All-on-6 Dental Implants

All-on-6 is a full-arch dental implant technique that replaces a whole row of missing or failing teeth with a fixed bridge supported by six implants rather than four. The six titanium implants are spread across the densest parts of the jawbone, where they act as artificial roots and carry a complete arch of teeth without needing an implant for every tooth. Adding two more support points than the four-implant version spreads chewing forces more evenly and gives the bridge extra stability, which is especially useful when there is enough bone to place all six. In many cases a temporary fixed bridge can be attached the same day, so a person leaves with a full set of teeth rather than a removable denture. Because it rebuilds an entire upper or lower arch in one planned treatment, All-on-6 has become one of the most sought-after treatments for people travelling abroad to restore their smile.
