Titanium All-on-6 implants are the answer for those with extensive tooth loss.
Are you fed up with unstable dentures or concerned about the cost and time involved in full mouth restoration?
What are Titanium All-on-6 Implants?
Titanium All-on-6 implants are a full arch restoration technique using 6 titanium implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This permanent solution gives you improved stability, bone preservation and aesthetics for those missing most teeth in either jaw. The process involves implant surgery, temporary bridge and final prosthesis.
The Components of Titanium All-on-6 Implants
Impianti in titanio
Titanium implants are the foundation of the All-on-6 system. These biocompatible posts are surgically placed into the jawbone and act as artificial tooth roots.
Titanium is the material of choice because of its strength and ability to osseointegrate with bone tissue(1).
Studies have shown that titanium implants have a 98% success rate over 10 years(2).
The implants used in All-on-6 are 10-15mm in length and 3.5-4.5mm in diameter for full arch restoration.
Abutments
Abutments are the connective pieces that attach to the top of the implants and protrude above the gum line.
These pieces are the link between the implants and the prosthetic teeth.
Abutments can be made from titanium, zirconia or other biocompatible materials.
The choice of abutment material can affect the aesthetic and long term success of the restoration.
Research shows titanium abutments have excellent long term stability and tissue compatibility(3)
Prosthetic Teeth (Dental Bridge)
The final piece is the full arch prosthesis, also known as the dental bridge.
This custom made appliance replaces the entire arch of teeth and is attached to the abutments.
Modern prostheses are made from high strength dental materials like zirconia or acrylic resin with porcelain teeth.
These materials offer durability and natural aesthetics.
A study of 245 patients with All-on-4 and All-on-6 restorations found zirconia prostheses had a 95.8% survival rate after 5 years(4)
The prosthesis is designed to look and feel like natural teeth, so you get a restored smile and improved chewing ability.
| Componente | Descrizione |
|---|---|
| Impianti in titanio | Biocompatible posts surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. They are typically 10-15mm in length and 3.5-4.5mm in diameter, providing optimal stability for full-arch restoration. |
| Abutments | Connective components that attach to the top of the implants, protruding above the gum line. They serve as the link between the implants and the prosthetic teeth. |
| Prosthetic Teeth (Dental Bridge) | Custom-made full-arch prosthesis that replaces an entire arch of teeth. Typically crafted from high-strength materials like zirconia or acrylic resin with porcelain teeth, designed to mimic natural teeth in appearance and function. |
Titanium All-on-6 Implant Process
Initial Consultation and Diagnostic Tests
The All-on-6 process starts with a full consultation and assessment.
Your dentist will assess your oral health, bone density and medical history.
Advanced diagnostic tools like X-rays and 3D scans are used to plan the implant placement(5)
These tests will help create a customised treatment plan taking into account sinuses and nerve positions(3)
The plan will outline the procedure, timeline and preparation required.
Implant Surgery
The surgery is done under local anaesthesia for patient comfort.
Six titanium implants are placed into the jawbone, evenly spaced for maximum stability(2)
The implants are placed at an angle to get the most bone and avoid sensitive structures(6)
Immediate loading may be possible in some cases for same day teeth(5)
Temporary Bridge
A temporary prosthesis is fitted during the same day as implant placement.
This interim solution is based on 3D images of your treated jawbone(2)
It allows patients to have aesthetics and some functionality during the healing phase.
The temporary bridge protects the implant sites and helps with gum healing.
Montaggio finale della protesi
After 3-6 months of healing the final prosthesis is attached.
This custom made bridge is designed to match your natural teeth in colour and shape(3)
The prosthesis is fixed to the implants for a permanent solution.
With proper care All-on-6 implants can last up to 30 years and provide long term oral health benefits(5)
Titanium All-on-6 Implant Benefits
Stability and Functionality
All-on-6 implants are more stable than traditional dentures or All-on-4 implants(6)
The 6 implants spread the chewing forces more evenly, reducing the risk of implant failure(2)
Studies show All-on-6 can restore up to 90% of natural chewing ability(3)
Patients report improved comfort and confidence when eating, speaking and smiling(5)
Conservazione delle ossa
All-on-6 implants help preserve jawbone density by osseointegration(1)
This prevents bone resorption which is common with traditional dentures(5)
The implants act as artificial tooth roots, preserving facial structure and preventing a sunken appearance(3)
Research shows All-on-6 implants can reduce bone loss compared to removable dentures(2)
Benefici estetici
The prosthetic teeth are custom made to match the patient’s natural teeth in shape, colour and texture(1)
All-on-6 implants look more natural than removable dentures(6)
The fixed implants eliminate the worry of dentures slipping or falling out(7)
Patients report increased self confidence and better quality of life after the procedure(3)
Quick Treatment
All-on-6 implants can be immediately loaded, patients can get temporary teeth on the same day as surgery(2)
Fewer appointments than individual implant placements(6)
Most patients can get back to normal life within a day or two after the initial surgery(4)
The whole process from consultation to final prosthesis is designed to be quick and minimally invasive to the patient’s life(3)
Who is suitable for Titanium All-on-6 Implants
Paziente ideale
All-on-6 implants are suitable for patients with multiple missing or failing teeth(4)
Patients with good overall health are the best candidates(4)
Those looking for an alternative to removable dentures benefit from All-on-6(6)
Adequate bone density is required, but bone grafting can be an option for some(4)
Non smokers or willing to quit have better outcomes with All-on-6(4)
Controindicazioni
Patients with uncontrolled diabetes may not be suitable due to impaired healing and regenerative abilities(5)
Those undergoing radiation therapy to the jaw area should not have All-on-6(4)
Those with severe, untreated gum disease are not ideal(4)
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are absolute contraindications for dental implant procedures(5)
Patients with hemophilia or on blood thinning medication need special consideration(5)
Patients under 16 are not eligible as their jawbones are still developing(3)
Recent cancer treatment (within the last 5 years) may affect implant integration(3)
Patients with alcohol or drug dependency may have complications during the healing process(5)
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune disorders may have higher risks(5)
| Candidati ideali | Controindicazioni |
