Questions 2
Because dentures are designed to fit over the gums, they cannot stop the process of bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing. As a result, the jaw changes shape and dentures become loose. This is why they need to be replaced from time to time.
Implant-supported bridges, on the other hand, are permanently secured in place by four or six strategically placed dental implants. As a result, they act just like your natural teeth and are never at risk of them falling out or becoming dislodged.
While it is true that conventional dentures offer a clear initial cost-benefit ratio to an edentulous patient, remember that they must be replaced approximately every 5 years. Therefore, compared to All-On-6 dental implants, Barcelona patients may be better off opting for implant-supported dentures, which are designed to last for several decades and more.
- They suffer from loose dentures
- They suffer from severe periodontal gum disease
- They have severe bone loss and have been told they cannot have dental implants.
- They have bridges and crowns that fail
- They have been told that they need a bone graft for the implants
There is no need to wear a removable prosthesis while the teeth heal, a fixed bridge is provided on the same day the implants are placed.
The technique can avoid the need for expensive bone grafts and sinus lifts in most cases.
It is cheaper than traditional full arch fixed bridge techniques
Helps prevent further bone loss in the jaw
Restores functionality by improving speech and the ability to eat any food
The All-on-6® treatment concept is an effective and efficient technique that uses four dental implants in the upper or lower jaw to secure a set of replacement teeth. These dental implants not only support the replacement teeth, but also act as replacement roots that connect to the jawbone. This allows for a long-term, permanent solution that promotes strong, resilient support and a natural smile.
The All-on-6® treatment concept was introduced and trademarked by Nobel Biocare. As a result of extensive clinical research, the procedure uses the smallest number of implants possible, avoids the need for bone graft surgery (where replacement bone is added) and offers a permanent, natural-looking solution in a very short time.
Yes. As with any other medical procedure, the quality of the products used is critical to success. The implants and components used in the All-on-4® treatment concept are permanently in your body, so they must be scientifically tested and of the highest quality.
