Rediscover the joy of eating, speaking, and laughing with confidence. Schedule your consultation to see if All-on-6 is the key to reclaiming your smile.
What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-6 dental implants are a revolutionary full-arch restoration solution designed to replace all missing teeth in an upper or lower jaw. The treatment involves the strategic placement of six dental implants that act as prosthetic roots, providing a sturdy foundation for a custom-crafted, fixed bridge. This bridge is permanently attached, restoring your smile’s full function and aesthetics in a single, transformative procedure.
It’s the ideal, long-term solution for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth and want a stable, permanent alternative to the limitations of traditional dentures.
Purpose of the Treatment:
- Replace a Full Set of Teeth: Restore an entire arch of missing or failing teeth.
- Restore Natural Function: Regain near-normal biting and chewing power.
- Provide a Permanent Solution: Enjoy a non-removable, durable smile that doesn’t require adhesives.
Are You a Candidate for All-on-6 Dental Implants?
You might be an ideal candidate for All-on-6 if you are experiencing:
- Multiple missing or severely damaged teeth across an entire arch.
- Loose, uncomfortable, or ill-fitting dentures that cause sore spots.
- Significant jawbone loss that rules out individual implants for each tooth.
- Difficulty chewing your favorite foods or speaking clearly with your current teeth or dentures.
- Chronic gum disease that has led to widespread tooth loss or instability.
Ideal candidates are:
- Adults in good general and oral health.
- Non-smokers or those willing to quit before and after the procedure to ensure optimal healing.
- Individuals with sufficient bone density to support the implants (though strategic placement often avoids the need for extensive bone grafting).
The All-on-6 Dental Implant Procedure: A Step-by-Step Guide
At Macomb Dental Group, we guide you through every step of your smile transformation with precision and care.
- Consultation & Advanced 3D Planning: Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination. Dr. Doku uses digital X-rays and 3D CT scans to evaluate your jawbone structure and meticulously plan your implant placement for optimal results.
- Tooth Extraction (If Needed): Any remaining damaged or decayed teeth are gently and safely removed to prepare the arch for your new smile.
- Implant Placement Surgery: Six medical-grade titanium implants are surgically placed into your jawbone at precise angles to maximize support and stability.
- Temporary Prosthesis Attachment (Same Day): On the very same day as your surgery, a temporary, fixed bridge is attached to the implants. You will leave our Sterling Heights office with a brand new, fully functional smile.
- Healing & Osseointegration: Over the next 3 to 6 months, the implants biologically fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating an incredibly strong foundation, just like natural tooth roots.
- Permanent Bridge Placement: Once healing is complete, your custom-designed, high-quality permanent bridge is securely attached. This final prosthesis is crafted for unparalleled aesthetics, comfort, and long-term durability.
The Life-Changing Benefits of All-on-6 Implants
Choosing All-on-6 is an investment in your quality of life. The benefits extend far beyond a beautiful smile:
- A Permanent, Non-Removable Solution: Your new teeth are fixed in place, eliminating the hassle of removable dentures.
- Restores Full Chewing Ability: Enjoy steak, apples, corn on the cob, and all your favorite foods without a second thought.
- Prevents Bone Loss: The implants stimulate your jawbone, just like natural roots, preventing the facial collapse often associated with dentures.
- Improves Facial Aesthetics: By supporting your facial structure, All-on-6 can take years off your appearance.
- Rapid, Transformative Results: Walk in with failing teeth and walk out the same day with a complete, temporary smile.
- Unshakable Confidence: Speak, laugh, and socialize without worrying about your teeth slipping or clicking.
