All teeth are replaced with implants for patients with a complete absence of teeth in the oral cavity.

Full-mouth dental implants are installed in a dental clinic by an implantologist. After successful fixation and engraftment, prostheses are installed on them.

4 to 6 implants are installed in each jaw, on which prosthetic structures are fixed. This method is indicated for patients with moderate bone loss. If bone augmentation is necessary, osteoplasty is performed simultaneously with implantation. The method's main advantage is the possibility of prosthetics immediately after the installation of implants or after 3–4 days.

All-on-4 and All-on-6 Implantation Methods

These are implantation methods with immediate loading, allowing prosthetic jaws immediately after implant placement.

They are based on the installation of 4 or 6 implants in each jaw, on which bridges will then be fixed. In case of insufficient bone volume, its growth is carried out during the installation of implants.

The Stages of All-on-4 and All-on-6 Implantation

Consultation

At the consultation, the implant dentist will conduct a thorough examination of the oral cavity and suggest that you undergo a computed tomography of the jaws to assess the degree of bone tissue atrophy. If necessary, a consultation with related specialists and additional research methods are prescribed;

Implantation process

  • Exfoliation of the gums.
  • Creation of a bed for implants.
  • Drilling holes for implants with a special bur.
  • Installation of implants together with the abutment.
  • Installation of a permanent or adaptive prosthesis.

After the surgery, you will immediately put on bridges. You will be able to chew and lead a normal life in the first days after the procedure.

Replacement of an adaptive prosthesis with a permanent one

If, after the installation of the implants, you wore a temporary adaptive prosthesis, then after 3-4 months, you need to come for a second consultation with the doctor. After X-ray diagnostics and assessment of the degree of engraftment of implants, the doctor will make a conclusion about the possibility of replacing adaptive prostheses with permanent ones. They are made of cermet, zirconium dioxide, or metal composite.

The Indications for Full Mouth Dental Implants

Replacement of all teeth with implants is carried out:

  • With complete loss of teeth in the upper and lower jaws.
  • If there are rotten teeth in the oral cavity that require removal.
  • With traumatic damage to the jaws without the possibility of preserving dental units.
  • With the discomfort of using removable prosthetic structures or the presence of contraindications to their use.

Contraindications for Implantation

Contraindications to implantation are malignant neoplasms, mental disorders, alcohol abuse, tuberculosis, blood diseases, decompensated cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, and uncompensated diabetes mellitus.

It is recommended to postpone the procedure during pregnancy and lactation, acute infectious processes, and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity.

Which Implant Method to Choose

After examining the oral cavity, and conducting the necessary diagnostic methods, doctors will talk about all possible methods of treatment, taking into account your individual situation, financial capabilities, and wishes. They will provide a detailed treatment plan with an indication of the exact cost.
