Are you struggling with multiple missing, damaged, or decaying teeth? Are you looking for a reliable and effective way to improve the function and appearance of your smile? All-on-6 dental implants could be a great restorative dentistry option for you! The experienced team at Complete Dental Care uses all-on-6 implants to restore patients' smiles in Greenville, TX, and we'd love to help you determine if this is your best dental solution.

What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?

All-on-6 dental implants are a type of dental implant that is used to support an entire arch of upper or lower teeth. Unlike traditional dental implants, which are placed individually in the jawbone, all-on-6 implants are placed in strategic locations along the arch of the mouth. This allows them to evenly distribute biting and chewing forces, making them a great option for patients who are missing all of their teeth or most of their teeth. 

What To Expect With All-on-6 Dental Implants

If you're considering all-on-6 dental implants, it's important to consult with an experienced dentist. The team at our dental practice will be able to evaluate your mouth and determine if this is the best option for you. During your consultation, we will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, take x-rays and 3D scans of your mouth, discuss your treatment options, and develop a personalized treatment plan. 

If you decide to move forward with all-on-6 dental implants, we will schedule a surgery date. The surgery usually takes about two hours, and patients are given local anesthesia to ensure their comfort. During this procedure, incisions will be made in the gums and the implants will be placed. It will take several months for the bone to fully fuse to the implants, during which time you will receive a temporary dental restoration. Once the implants are securely in place, your permanent arch of teeth will be placed on the implants.

Will I Get Anesthesia for All-on-6 Dental Implants?

Yes, you will be given local anesthesia to numb the area for all-on-6 dental implant surgery. You may also be prescribed pain medication to help manage any discomfort after the implant placement procedure. Most patients report only minor discomfort, swelling, and soreness after the implant placement that can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
