Immediate Loading with All-on-6 Implants

The concept of immediate loading in dental implantology is changing the way full-arch restorations are performed, allowing patients to restore smile and dental function within a day. This approach is especially appealing to medical travelers and those looking for highly effective treatment with minimal impact on daily life. In this article, we look at immediate loading techniques with a focus on All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants, explaining who can benefit from this treatment, what the procedure entails, and what can be done during the recovery process. What to expect.

What is immediate weight-bearing?

 

Immediate loading is the process of placing temporary dentures on the day the implants are placed. This differs from traditional methods, where patients must wait several months for the implants to integrate with the bone before receiving their final restoration. Immediate weight-bearing allows patients to leave the dental office with fully functioning teeth that allow them to chew and smile with confidence from day one.


All-on-6 Implant Systems


All-on-6 are innovative dental implant technologies designed to support a full arch of teeth using only six strategically placed implants. These methods often do not require bone grafting, making them especially beneficial for patients with severe edentulism or low bone density.

All-on-6: This technique places six implants, providing additional support and potentially better load distribution. This is especially beneficial for patients with high bone density or who need increased stability. 


Benefits of immediate weight bearing


1.Reduced Treatment Time: One of the most important benefits of immediate weight bearing is the reduction in total treatment time. Patients can have their implants placed and receive their temporary prosthesis in a single visit, making it ideal for patients traveling abroad for treatment.

 

2.Immediate Function: Immediate weight bearing allows patients to chew, speak and smile with confidence on the day of implant surgery. This can result in significant psychological and functional improvements, especially for patients who have suffered from missing teeth.

 

3.Minimize Bone Loss: Traditional dentures lack stimulation and can lead to accelerated bone loss. Immediately placed implants stimulate the jaw bone from the start, helping to maintain bone density and facial structure.

 

4.Reduced Surgical Procedures: Because the prosthesis is implanted immediately, patients can avoid multiple surgeries, such as bone grafting, which would extend treatment and recovery time.

 

5.Improved Esthetics: The temporary prosthesis used for immediate weight bearing is aesthetically designed, allowing patients to enjoy a natural-looking smile immediately after surgery.

 

Who is suitable for immediate weight bearing?

 

Immediate weight bearing has many benefits, but it is not suitable for all patients. Suitability is determined by several factors, including:

 

Bone quality and quantity: Adequate bone density is important for implant stability. Digital diagnostics such as 3D imaging are used to assess bone quality before determining suitability.

 

General health: Patients should be in good overall health and free of uncontrolled chronic diseases that may impede healing, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

 

Oral health: Good oral hygiene and the absence of active infections in the mouth are important for successful implant placement.

 

Non-smokers: Non-smokers are good candidates for immediate weight-bearing, as smoking impedes healing and increases the risk of implant failure.

 

At Vickong Dental Chain, we use state-of-the-art digital imaging and planning tools to thoroughly assess each patient's suitability for immediate weight-bearing to ensure the best possible outcome.

 

Procedure: Expected results

The immediate weight-bearing procedure begins with a comprehensive assessment, including digital scanning and imaging to plan precise placement of the implant. On the day of surgery:

 

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

 

Implants: Dental implants are placed in a pre-planned location in the jawbone.

Temporary prosthesis: A custom-made temporary prosthesis is attached to the implant immediately after placement. The prosthesis is functional and allows normal chewing and speech.

Healing and Osseo integration: Over the next few months, the implant will integrate with the bone. This is a process called Osseo integration. During this time, the patient must follow specific care instructions to ensure the success of the treatment.


Final restoration: Once Osseo integration is complete, the temporary prosthesis is replaced with a permanent restoration to achieve optimal esthetics and function.

Recovery and aftercare


Immediate restoration of weight-bearing with All-on-6 implants is usually quick. Patients may experience discomfort and swelling for a few days, which can be controlled with prescription medications. During the early stages of healing, it is important to follow a soft diet and follow all post-operative care instructions provided by the clinic.


Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure the implant is well integrated with the bone. After the final restoration, patients should have regular dental check-ups and maintain good oral hygiene to keep their new smile for a long time.
