All six dental implants
All six dental implants or all-on-6 dental implants is popular dentistry treatment to replace missing teeth or teeth that are badly decayed.
The all six dental implants method is used by Perfect Smile Dental Implant Centre Hungary for patients that have sufficient bone density.
All on 6 is exactly that.
All means a temporary dental prosthesis that is placed on top of the six implants on the first visit to the dental clinic.
After 4 months the six implants have blended with the jawbone.
The temporary prosthesis is removed and the permanent prosthesis is fitted with dental cement.
This means that the patient has a brand new set of beautiful teeth.
They will look amazing and work exactly like real teeth.
Who would benefit from all on six dental implants
There are a number of situations where all on six implants could be of benefit to patients, for example:
- Patients with no teeth
- Individuals with bone loss unable to do bone grafting
- Patients with teeth affected by gum disease
- Individuals with badly decayed or damaged teeth
How does all 6 dental implants differ from all on 4?
The all on six dental implant treatment is different from the all on 4 technique in one important aspect.
In the all on 6 scenario the patient will have enough jawbone to take the implants.
In the all on 4 scenario the patient will not have sufficient jawbone to stand up to the daily pressure of biting and eating.
So all on six dental implants is a better solution in this situation.
Basically as the name implies, all six dental implants requires the fitting of 6 implants into the patient’s jaw.
The theory being the more implants the stronger the foundation for the dental bridge.
The structural integrity for new teeth becomes more stable.
Because the pressure is more evenly distributed to more implants and to the jawbone itself.
Which is the best, all six or all 4 implants.?
Its not as simple as saying, the more implants there are the better it is for the patient.
The patient must have enough bone structure in the jaw and strength to be able to support the planting of dental implants.
In essence, where more implants are needed to be placed, more bone structure needs to be readily available.
Therefore, the all six dental implants procedure may at the start require what we call bone augmentation treatment.

Implantation-the surgical phase
The first phase of the all six dental implants procedure involves extracting any teeth that are in bad shape.
This step can be done in Wexford allowing a period of time for gums to heal.
The next step involves the surgeon placing six implants at an angle in the jawbone, three on either side of the mouth.
The surgeon will check in great detail that the six implants are correctly placed and that the entire structure is sufficiently stable.
The patient has a temporary prosthesis fixed to the implants.
Then the patient is allowed to go back home to Ireland to allow the six dental implants to bond with the bone.
This process takes about 4 months.
Post surgery
During the following four months its important to get the implants checked.
Hungarian dentists in Wexford will give the patient an appointment in order to check the progress of the six implants.
The progress of the new implants determines when the patient will return to Perfect Smile Dental Implant Centre for the final dental prosthesis.
Does the all six dental implants procedure hurt?
The all six dental implants procedure is performed under local anaesthetic.
Because of this, the patient doesn’t feel any type of pain during the implant placement time.
The all six implants are placed directly into the jawbone just like one dental implant application.
The all-on-6 method can easily be applied to both jaws with a sufficient amount of jawbone.
