Supporting dentures with implants like All-on-6® is fast becoming a popular option in restorative dentistry. Traditional dentures have been used for decades by patients who have lost several teeth, but they do not always provide the degree of comfort or trust that ensures satisfactory function. Fortunately, advances in dental science and technology have resulted in the creation of a better alternative like All-on-6® implants for multiple teeth replacement, which comes with several benefits.
The benefits of the All-on-6 approach are many, both specifically related to oral health and indirectly related to other aspects of one’s wellbeing. Here are some of the most important advantages that patients can gain from dentures with All-on-6 implants:
The loss of bone in the jaw is one of the most common consequences of losing natural teeth. Since the implants are placed inside the jawbone and function similarly to the roots of natural teeth, the All-on-6 method can reduce the impact of bone loss. The pressure applied to the jawbone is similar to that exerted by natural teeth, helping preserve bone mass and keep the area strong.
The All-on-6 system is also great for patients who have suffered bone loss. There is a much lower chance of the need for a bone graft because the implants have such a stable sitting inside the jawbone. Recovery and treatment times are faster since a bone graft is not required.
Patients who undergo the All-on-6 implant procedure receive a full set of natural-looking teeth that sit firmly and comfortably in the mouth, allowing them to consume all of their favorite foods without fear that the dentures will slip. Patients can smile and talk confidently, knowing that their teeth will remain in place at all times, as they no longer have to worry about circumstances where loose dentures might cause embarrassment.
Maintaining All-on-6 implant dentures is easy and no different from the usual oral hygiene practices. Brushing, flossing, using mouthwash, and visiting the dentist regularly are all important practices. All-on-6 dentures often eliminate the need for messy or expensive adhesives typically required with conventional dentures.
One of the most significant advantages of All-on-6 dentures is that they are long-lasting and do not require the regular adjustment appointments like traditional dentures. Since the denture is firmly attached to the mouth by the implants, the attachment is not vulnerable to the same issues common with conventional dentures, like loosening and uncomfortable fitting resulting from gum recession. All-on-6 is a long-term teeth replacement option that provides the patient with more comfort and convenience.
Patients who have missing teeth need to remember that the longer they wait to get a replacement, the more likely they are to experience problems like gum recession, bone loss, and other oral health issues. Getting a denture with All-on-6 is an investment for oral health and overall well-being. To learn more about this option, book an appointment with our dental office.
