All-on-6 dental implantation at Astra Dent in Warsaw

“All-on-6” prosthetics is a modern method of restoring the dentition in the case of partial and complete absence of teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Six implants are installed in the area of permanent teeth on the lateral part of the row. The load on the structure is distributed evenly, increasing its service life.

“All-on-6” dental implantation is considered an improved version of the “All-on-4” method. It is used in more complex cases, when 4 artificial roots cannot provide high-quality fixation of the prosthesis. As a result, there is no need for plastic surgery even with moderate bone atrophy.

Astra Dent in Warsaw specializes in implantation using the “All-on-6” method, using high-quality materials: titanium alloy, acrylic composite, metal-ceramic, zirconium dioxide. The medical center employs more than 20 qualified dentists, many of whom have over 10-15 years of experience. The high level of service is confirmed by the victory in the prestigious ORŁY Stomatologii competition, which covers about 50,000 dental institutions in Poland.

What are All-on-6 dental implants?

“All-on-6” is an innovative prosthetics method that allows us to restore all the teeth in one jaw using six titanium implants. The main idea of the approach is to use strategically placed supports that evenly distribute the load.

One of the advantages of the technique is the stability of the structure. Thanks to additional supports in the lateral areas of the jaw, the prosthesis is better held, which is extremely important for patients with well-developed chewing muscles. Compared to “All-on-4” and traditional implants, “All-on-6” provides a long-lasting result and reduces the risk of loosening of the prosthesis in the future.

There are several approaches to implantation according to the “All-on-6” protocol. The choice depends on the condition of the bone tissue, the presence of residual teeth and the anatomical features of the jaw.

Navigational implantation with a surgical template

This is a high-precision technology using computer modeling. The doctor creates a 3D model of the jaw in advance and calculates the optimal implant placement points. Among the advantages of navigational implantation:

• minimal damage to soft tissues;
• elimination of errors during installation;
• avoidance of contact with nerves and maxillary sinuses.

According to studies, the average deviation when using surgical templates is only 1.2 mm in the coronal (upper) and 1.5 mm in the apical (lower) part of the implant.

One-step implantation after tooth extraction

If the patient needs to remove teeth before implantation, the surgeon can install dentures immediately after extraction. The technique allows us to reduce treatment time, reduce the volume of surgical intervention and bone atrophy.

Classic method with gingival detachment

The doctor makes a surgical incision to open the bone, after which they install the implants. Rehabilitation takes longer than in the first two cases, but provides a reliable result in difficult clinical situations.

The classic method of implant placement “All-on-6” allows for bone grafting within one procedure. Suitable for patients with severe jaw atrophy.

Differences between All-on-6 and All-on-4 and traditional implants

Implantation methods differ in the number of implants, stability of the structure, indications for use and overall effectiveness:

The choice of technique depends on the individual characteristics of the patient, the condition of the bone tissue and financial capabilities.

Who needs the All-on-6 system?

Dental implantation “All-on-6” is an improved version of “All-on-4”, which is used in complex cases. The following are considered indications for the procedure:

• complete or significant tooth loss;
• a sharp deterioration in the condition of the teeth;
• atrophy of bone tissue;
• traumatic tooth loss;
• unsuccessful wearing of bridge-shaped prostheses;
• inability to use removable dentures.

Before installing implants, the patient undergoes a dental examination to assess the condition of the bone tissue, treat caries, gingivitis and other diseases of the oral cavity. Specialists analyze the general state of health, checking for chronic inflammatory processes that can affect the healing of implants. Habits are corrected by giving up smoking and hot drinks, as this slows down the engraftment of prostheses to the bone tissue.

Advantages of All-on-6

Restoration of the dentition should be aesthetic and functional at the same time. It is important that the structure withstands chewing loads, provides comfort during conversation and serves for many years. All this is possible thanks to the use of six supporting implants.

The main advantages of “All-on-6”:

• Strength and stability. Additional implants in the lateral areas of the jaw improve fixation of the prosthesis and reduce the risk of overloading individual areas.
• Maximum chewing efficiency. The system allows you to fully chew food, even hard foods. Chewing pressure is distributed evenly, which provides comfort and naturalness during eating.
• Improved diction. A properly fixed prosthesis does not shift during conversation, which eliminates problems with pronunciation of sounds typical of removable dentures.
• Natural appearance and comfort. Thanks to modern materials, the structure looks like natural teeth. The absence of removable elements adds comfort, and the tight fit allows you to forget about unpleasant sensations.
• No need for bone grafting. Due to the location of the implants at a certain angle, the system is suitable even for patients with some forms of bone atrophy.
• Durability. Proper care and regular monitoring by a dentist allow you to save implants for decades, while removable dentures need to be changed every 5-7 years.

The six-implant system combines reliability, durability and comfort. This is a modern solution for those who want to get a natural smile without compromising on functionality.

All-on-6 system installation procedure

Implantation is a complex process that involves diagnostics, preparation and postoperative care. Astra Dent in Warsaw uses modern equipment and safe methods, which reduces treatment time and recovery time after surgery.

Initial consultation and diagnosis

The doctor conducts an examination, analyzes the condition of the gums, the presence of residual teeth and the general condition of the oral cavity:

• 3D scanning and computed tomography. Digital diagnostics are performed, which allows us to accurately calculate the places for implant placement. This reduces the risk of complications and the time of the operation.
• Procedure planning. An individual treatment plan is developed, taking into account the anatomical features of the patient. If there is a need to remove teeth, this is taken into account in further preparation.

If necessary, additional tests and consultations with related specialists are recommended. Wishes regarding prosthetic materials and possible anesthesia options are discussed.

Implant placement and temporary restoration

The doctor, under local anesthesia or sedation, places six implants at strategic points in the jaw. Thanks to the use of computer navigation technologies, implantation is performed with jeweler’s precision:

• Fixation of the temporary prosthesis. Immediately after the operation, a temporary structure is installed. It has an aesthetic appearance and allows the patient to use their teeth immediately.
• Comfortable recovery. Modern implantation methods minimize swelling and pain. In most cases, patients return to their usual lifestyle the next day.

The procedure lasts 2-4 hours, depending on the individual characteristics of the patient’s jaw. After the operation, slight discomfort is possible, which disappears within a few days.

Final fixation of the prosthesis and further observation

After 3-6 months, when the implants are fully integrated into the bone tissue, a permanent prosthesis is installed:

• Bite correction and adaptation. The doctor performs fine-tuning of the prosthesis to ensure the correct bite and comfort during eating and talking.
• Regular examinations. The patient is recommended to undergo control visits every 6-12 months. This allows you to prevent possible complications and maintain the condition of the implants in excellent condition.

Astra Dent uses minimally invasive procedures, 3D templates and modern equipment, which ensure maximum accuracy of manipulations. The “All-on-6” system allows us to restore your dentition in a short time and without complex preparation.

Price policy and offers

Astra Dent has a transparent price policy, which allows us to calculate the costs of “All-on-6” implants in advance and choose the optimal treatment option. The final cost depends on several factors:

• bone tissue condition;
• need for additional procedures;
