If you have been planning to get Dental Implants, you would have come across All-on-4 and All-on-6 types of procedures for implants. The significant difference between the two types of dental implants is the number of implants used in each set. A dentist would recommend one type or the other of implants for patients according to their needs. The type of implant is also chosen according to which suits the patient the best to provide a favorable outcome. At Amaya Dental, our patients are informed about All-on-4 and All-on-6 in detail before the treatment begins.
The procedure for both types of dental implants is similar. The only difference is the number of implants planted during the treatment. An All-on-4 treatment uses four implants, while an All-on-6 utilizes six implants. The dentist chooses the right type of implant for the patient, considering their requirements. Patients who require major dental reconstruction will require All-on-6 dental implants, which provide more stability and strength to the patient's jaw structure.
The dentist initiates the process by conducting a comprehensive examination of the dental condition of the patient. This includes a digital X-ray and 3D Cone Beam CT-Scan that helps the dentist study the mouth's internal anatomical structures.
Impressions of the mouth are then taken through a digital imaging system. The patient is then sedated using anesthesia, after which the implants are planted into the jawbone through a small incision in the gums. After proper healing of the gums, the prosthesis like dentures is mounted on the implants.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant types provide structural integrity to the mouth following tooth loss.
