All-on-6 dental prosthetics: a reliable solution for restoring the upper jaw
All-on-6 is a modern technique for complete restoration of the upper jaw using only six implants, to which a fixed prosthesis is attached.
All-on-6 dental implantation is recommended for those who have lost a significant number of teeth in the upper jaw, as well as for patients who want to get rid of uncomfortable removable dentures.
All-on-6 requires much less financial investment compared to traditional implantation and at the same time guarantees complete restoration of the functionality and aesthetics of the upper jaw.
In addition, the attachment of a non-removable prosthesis on 6 implants significantly improves the quality of life:
- the palate remains completely open
- all taste and temperature sensations are preserved
- easy hygiene and secure attachment of the prosthesis allow you to forget about discomfort forever
The All-on-6 method for restoring the upper jaw is similar to the All-on-4 method for the lower jaw. Two additional implants are needed here to compensate for the force of gravity acting 24/7 on the fixed upper jaw prosthesis.
The doctors at Club 32, a family dental clinic in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, have extensive experience in restoring the upper jaw with 6 implants in patients of all ages. Our clinic has all the necessary equipment to perform this procedure.
Indications and contraindications for the installation of a prosthesis on 6 implants
Indications:
- Complete or partial absence of teeth in the upper jaw
- Discomfort when using removable dentures
- Insufficient bone tissue for the installation of 8–10 implants
Contraindications:
- Severe forms of diabetes mellitus
- Cancer in the active stage
- Serious blood clotting disorders
- Severe inflammatory processes in the oral cavity
- Harmful habits (smoking can slow down the implant healing process)
Stages of upper jaw dental prosthetics on 6 implants
Stage 1: Consultation and diagnosis
Stage 2: Implant placement
Stage 3: Fixation of a temporary (adaptive) prosthesis
Stage 4: Osseointegration
Stage 5: Installation of a permanent prosthesis
Thanks to the All-on-6 dental implant method, patients do not remain toothless even during the implant healing period.
Types of prostheses for installation using All-on-6 technology
Temporary prosthesis options
Frameless prosthesis:
Lightweight, affordable, but less durable
A frameless temporary prosthesis is soft and lightweight, but it distributes the chewing load less effectively, which can lead to loosening of the implants.
Features:
- The most budget-friendly option
- Suitable for patients who want to save money during the temporary prosthesis stage
- Requires careful handling until the implants are fully integrated
- Average service life is 6–12 months
Adaptive prosthesis with a frame:
More durable, average service life – up to 3 years
This prosthesis has a reinforced frame, which makes it more reliable and durable.
Frame materials:
- Titanium beam – manufactured using high-precision equipment, ensures a perfect fit and high strength
- Metal beam – a more affordable option, but the low quality of the alloy may cause allergies or an unpleasant taste in the mouth
Temporary acrylic denture:
Optimal price-quality ratio
Acrylic is one of the most popular materials for temporary dentures, but it can cause allergic reactions in some patients.
Features:
- Lightweight and affordable
- Modern technologies minimize the risk of allergies
- Requires careful maintenance
- Average service life is 3–5 years
Temporary plastic dentures:
The most budget-friendly option, but with low wear resistance
Disadvantages of plastic:
- Quickly loses its aesthetic appearance
- It scratches easily, causing plaque to accumulate
- Needs to be replaced every 2–3 years
Crowns for temporary prostheses
Plastic crowns:
They are economical, but wear out quickly
Important: replace before complete wear to avoid disrupting your bite.
Ceramic composite crowns:
- Durable and aesthetic, they look like natural teeth
- Average service life is 3–5 years
- Easy to clean, but more expensive than plastic
All-on-6 permanent prosthesis
After the implants have healed, the temporary prosthesis is replaced with a permanent one:
- Prosthesis with a reinforcing bar (titanium or metal) – more durable and long-lasting
- Can be made of acrylic, ceramic composite, or zirconium dioxide:
- Service life – 10–15 years or more
Advantages of installing a non-removable prosthesis on 6 implants
- Speed – new teeth in 1–2 days
- Reliability – a permanent prosthesis lasts 20+ years
- Safety – minimal tissue trauma
- Affordability – lower cost than traditional implants
- Aesthetics – a fixed denture on 6 implants looks as natural as possible
- Comfort – no discomfort, unlike with removable dentures
Price of All-on-6 prosthesis
The cost of upper jaw dental prosthetics on 6 implants depends on several factors:
- Type of implants (Nobel, Straumann, Osstem, etc.)
- Type of temporary and permanent dentures
- The need to remove remaining teeth
- Additional procedures (gum treatment, sinus lift)
