Implant All-on-4, All-on-6
All-on-4, All-on-6 Implant technique is indicated for people who have lost all teeth, bone deficiency. Is an outstanding invention in the world to replace the traditional technique of making removable prostheses.
With this technique, only 4 or 6 Implant posts are needed and thanks to the support from the Multi unit Abutment, it helps to restore the entire number of teeth on one jaw. This method helps to save maximum costs compared to implanting individual Implants. Limit the number of surgeries. But still ensure perfect results in terms of aesthetics and chewing function.
The selected bone areas are good bone areas, not much bone loss, so the rate of requiring bone transplant or sinus lift will almost be very little. Finally, the prosthetic abutments are used to support the entire fixed bridge, consisting of about 12 teeth in each jaw.
What is an All-on-4 Implant?
All-on-4 prosthesis is the optimal solution for the case of total tooth loss, bone deficiency in the posterior teeth area; Helps restore aesthetics, pronunciation and eating functions like real teeth.
By using 4 Implant posts on 1 jaw. In which there are 2 straight Implants at the 2nd tooth position and 2 tilted Implants at the 5th tooth position with a maximum tilt angle of up to 45 degrees, along with the support of Multi unit Abutment, helping to restore over 04 Implant achieves 12 teeth/jaw. Usually, the All-on-4 technique is applied to the lower jaw. And if it is the upper jaw, it requires the jawbone to be strong.
What is an All-on-6 Implant?

After inserting 6 Implant posts, the doctor will put on a temporary jaw. The patient used this temporary restoration for a period of approximately 6 months before the final restoration was available. Performing Implant All-on-6 does not require bone grafting surgery as when inserting a single Implant. The new teeth also have many advantages compared to using conventional removable dentures: performing well the chewing function, achieving high aesthetics, the compatibility like real teeth is up to 90%.
