People with edentulism (total or partial loss of their teeth) no longer have to have an implant for each piece they want to place. Thanks to the All on 4 (all over 4) and All on 6 (all over 6) techniques, it is now possible to perform only 4 or 6 implants on which a single titanium arch will then be fixed with all the teeth needed to return to wear a beautiful smile. It helps improve the chewing function, aesthetics, speech and self-esteem of the user.
How do you decide whether to apply an All on 4 or an All on 6?
In general, the All on 6 treatment is recommended for people with lower bone density (greater wear) and All on 4 for people with higher bone density. But it will be the implantology specialist who always determines 1) if it is possible to perform one of these treatments after evaluating factors such as the state of soft tissue or available alveolar bone and 2) the most advantageous technique of the two after assessing each particular case.
These techniques far outweigh traditional dental implants:
As it is only necessary to perform 4 or 6 implants, and not one for each tooth to be placed, the number of interventions is considerably reduced. In fact, on the same day of the implant surgery, the specialist already places the entire arch.
Minor invasion
With fewer perforations and interventions, the pain is infinitely less and the recovery, much faster: about 3 days with some discomfort and 3 weeks for full recovery on average in those patients with a good general state of health.
Stability
This technique achieves a lot of stability and solidity, both in the upper and lower jaw, even in those patients with a quality and quantity of bone deficit.
Durability
The results of the All on 4 and All on 6 implants can last a lifetime, thanks to the fact that they have a longer length that maximizes the contact with the bone and the bone, and the use of high-quality materials biocompatible with the bone and the gum.
Saving
The prices of All on 4 and All on 6 are lower than other dental implants that require a greater number of implants or the application of more complex techniques or surgeries (for example, with grafts). In short, we are facing one of the best options to restore lost or damaged teeth, and recover a natural appearance and chewing function. Do you have any questions?
