This type of implant treatment makes it possible to immediately place temporary false teeth after implant surgery. In the past, patients would not be offered a temporary set of teeth to wear over their implants, making tooth replacement with implants much less appealing.
This implant system is also compatible with patients who have very little jawbone remaining (jawbone structure can start to recede when teeth are missing). As the implants are placed to maximise the jawbone’s capabilities, less jawbone matter is needed to adhere to the implants. The All-on-4/All-on-6 implant system significantly reduces the need for a bone graft for this reason, speeding up treatment for patients with lower jawbone densities by several months.
