Restore Your Smile with All-on-6 Dental Implants
If you have lost most or all of your teeth, traditional dentures may not provide the stability and confidence you want. All-on-6 dental implants offer a full-arch tooth replacement option using six strategically positioned dental implants to support a fixed restoration.
At Diamond Dental Bundoora, we provide personalised implant consultations to understand your oral health, concerns and treatment goals. Our dentist will assess your teeth, gums and jawbone before explaining whether All-on-6 or another implant solution is suitable for you.
We take the time to explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision about your smile.
What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-6 dental implants are a full-arch implant treatment designed to replace most or all teeth in an upper or lower jaw.
The treatment uses six dental implants that are strategically positioned within the jawbone to support a full arch of replacement teeth. The implants provide a stable foundation for the restoration while helping restore chewing function and the appearance of your smile.
All-on-6 can be considered for patients who need extensive tooth replacement and are looking for an alternative to conventional removable dentures.
Who May Be Suitable for All-on-6?
All-on-6 dental implants may be considered for patients who:
- Are missing most or all teeth in an upper or lower arch
- Have multiple severely damaged or failing teeth
- Have extensive tooth decay or tooth loss
- Experience difficulty chewing with missing or unstable teeth
- Find conventional dentures uncomfortable or difficult to manage
- Want a fixed full-arch tooth replacement
- Have sufficient bone to support dental implants
However, All-on-6 is not suitable for everyone. Our dentist will assess your teeth, gums, jawbone and overall oral health before recommending treatment. If another option is more appropriate for you, we will explain the alternatives.
What is the All-on-6 Dental Implant Procedure?
At Diamond Dental Bundoora, we take a personalised approach to full-arch implant treatment. Our team will guide you through each stage of the process.
Consultation and Assessment
Your treatment starts with a comprehensive consultation. Our dentist will discuss your dental history, concerns and treatment goals before assessing your teeth, gums and overall oral health.
We will also explain the available tooth replacement options based on your individual circumstances.
3D Imaging and Treatment Planning
Detailed treatment planning is an important part of implant dentistry.
We may use advanced dental imaging to assess your jawbone, anatomical structures and potential implant positions. This allows our dentist to develop a treatment plan based on your individual needs.
Implant Placement
Once your treatment plan has been confirmed, six dental implants are strategically positioned in the jawbone to provide support for the full-arch restoration.
Our dentist will explain the procedure and provide you with appropriate instructions before and after treatment.
Temporary Teeth
Depending on your treatment plan, temporary teeth may be provided while your implants heal.
Our team will explain how to care for your temporary restoration and any dietary or activity restrictions during your recovery.
Healing and Implant Integration
The implants need time to integrate with the surrounding jawbone. This process is known as osseointegration.
During this period, our team will monitor your progress and let you know when your implants are ready for the next stage.
Final Full-Arch Restoration
Once your implants have healed and their stability has been assessed, we can proceed with your final restoration.
Our dentist will check the fit, bite, appearance and function of your new teeth to ensure they are comfortable and appropriate for your needs.
Differences Between All-on-4 and All-on-6
- Number of implants : All-on-4 uses four dental implants, while All-on-6 uses six strategically positioned implants to support the full-arch restoration.
- Additional support : The two additional implants used in All-on-6 may provide greater support and stability for the replacement teeth.
- Force distribution : All-on-6 provides additional points of support, which can help distribute biting forces across the full-arch restoration.
- Treatment cost : All-on-6 may have a higher treatment cost than All-on-4 because it involves two additional implants and may require different treatment components.
- Cleaning and maintenance: Both treatments require careful cleaning around the implant-supported restoration. Our dental team will show you the appropriate cleaning and maintenance routine.
- Suitability : The right option depends on your jawbone, oral health, bite and individual treatment needs. Our dentist will assess your situation and recommend the most suitable treatment option.
frequently asked questions
Can All-on-6 replace all my teeth?
Yes, All-on-4 may be an option for patients who have already lost all their teeth. Our dentist will assess your jawbone, gums and overall oral health before recommending treatment.
Is All-on-6 dental implant surgery painful?
We use appropriate anaesthesia to keep you comfortable during treatment. Some swelling, tenderness or discomfort may occur afterwards as part of the normal healing process.
How long does All-on-6 treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on your oral health and individual treatment plan. Our dentist will provide a personalised timeline after your consultation and assessment.
How do I clean All-on-6 dental implants?
Our dental team will show you how to clean around and underneath your implant-supported restoration. Regular brushing, professional maintenance and dental check-ups are important.
Are All-on-6 implants better than dentures?
All-on-6 provides implant-supported teeth, while conventional dentures are removable. Our dentist can compare both options based on your oral health and treatment goals.
Are All-on-6 implants suitable for older adults?
Age alone does not necessarily prevent someone from having implant treatment. Our dentist will consider your oral health and individual circumstances when assessing suitability.
