All-On-6 dental implants in NYC use six individual implants as anchors to replace an entire row of damaged and decayed teeth. Learn about this procedure offered at the Dental Implant Center NYC, our New York City based dental practice. All-on-4 implants are generally used in the lower jaw, which has denser bone than the upper jaw.
Modern innovations have made it possible to replace an entire row of top or bottom teeth using All-On-6 dental implants in NYC. This is more commonly used in the upper jaw due to the softer bone found there than All-on-4 style restorations. It involves placing two more implants than All-On-4 but otherwise, they are very similar.
In this procedure, decayed and damaged teeth will be extracted, before a dental surgeon implants six titanium surgical posts in your upper jawline. The precisely placed implants are then used to support a full row of synthetic replacement teeth.
You’ll have a full and healthy smile that will last for years. Synthetic dentures can be made from acrylic, composite, or porcelain materials. Porcelain is the longest lasting and most natural-looking option, but it will attract a higher price. An advantage of implants is that they can help preserve bone, therefore limiting future facial deterioration to help maintain a more youthful and healthy appearance. They can be seen as the “Fountain of Youth”.
Dental implantation is often used to replace one or a few missing or damaged teeth. When an entire row (also referred to as an arch) is damaged or lost, All-On-6 surgery will be the most cost-effective restoration option, and when done correctly will provide the longevity of a beautiful smile.
You may need All-On-6 dental implants in NYC if:
All-On-6 implants are intended for extensive damage and late-stage decay and loss. If you are missing your natural teeth but want a permanent solution, it’s time to schedule your consultation.
You may have some uncertainty ahead of All-On-6 surgery. This is normal. Learning more about the procedure can help you to feel more comfortable with your decision. Except for having two more implants, the process is identical to All-On-4.
All-On-6 Dental implants usually give you temporary fixed teeth (teeth that don’t come out) on the day of surgery. While the final result requires a complex and long process, the results can be lifechanging, giving you confidence, and a life-style with a beautiful smile.
There is a three-layer system used to implant the roots, bridges, and fixtures for All-On-4 procedures.
All-On-6 dental implants in NYC are a recent innovation. Some of the longest studies have tracked prostheses that have lasted longer than ten years. You can expect your implants to last at least a decade with proper care. How long they last often depends on you. How well are you taking care of your new teeth? How often do you come in for a follow-up?
Follow the same care routine as you would for regular teeth while being careful not to skip brushing and mouth washing. You should brush at least twice a day or after every meal. A rubber gum stimulator can be used to remove debris around the gum line. Depending on your dentures, you may also use dental floss daily. We will develop a home care program that is personalized to you.
Antiseptic mouthwash can be used to assist in removing debris and bacteria. Regular visits for cleanings and checkups (every six months to a year) are recommended in most cases.
Dr. Condos will recommend specific after-care following your surgery.
