Fabricating an entire row of teeth
"All on 6"
What is "All-on-6"?A full row of teeth in the upper or lower jaw is created and fixed with six implants.This is a treatment method that uses a different shape than dentures, but gives you the comfort of natural teeth.
"All-on-4" is a type of treatment technique called "ALL-on-XNUMX" (fixing all teeth in a row with at least four implants) developed by Dr. Paulo Malo in Lisbon, Portugal. It is said that the stronger the jawbone, the fewer the number of implants needed to support the teeth, and the safer it is.At our clinic, we recommend "All-on-6", which is suitable for Japanese people, whose jawbones are not as strong as those of Westerners.doing.
The main advantages of this treatment are:It can dramatically improve your appearance in a short period of time and also allow you to chew properly.If you are hearing about it for the first time, you may imagine it to be a major operation, butSince only a small number of implants are required, costs and physical strain can be significantly reduced.In addition, there is no pain during the surgery, no need to stay in hospital, and fixed temporary teeth are placed on the same day.
What to do if you have remaining teeth
During surgery, any remaining teeth will be extracted and the implants will be placed at the same time.
All-on-6 treatment process
STEP.1 Counseling
We will review your medical history, current illnesses, requests, and dental condition.
STEP.2 Inspection
We will check the condition of your jawbone with CT scans and X-rays.
STEP.3 treatment plan
Based on the results of counseling and examinations, we will develop and propose a treatment plan.
STEP.4 Primary surgery
Six implants are placed into each hole. If the gums are cut with a scalpel, they are sutured together with thread, and finally temporary artificial teeth are attached.
STEP.5 Integration period (3 to 6 months)
After surgery, you will need to wait a period of rest until the implant has bonded with the bone.
STEP.6 Fitting artificial teeth
Once we have confirmed that the implant has been fixed, we attach the connection between the implant and the cap. We then attach the cap and make any final adjustments.
STEP.7 Maintenance
To ensure the implant lasts a long time, regular maintenance is required.
