Dental implants are one of the best alternatives to removable dentures in replacing missing teeth. In Dr. Carl E. Misch’s book-Contemporary Implant Dentistry, he writes, “Patients wearing dentures day and night place greater forces on the hard and soft tissues, which accelerates bone loss.”1
Dental implants have the same strength and stability as natural teeth. They will also feel like natural teeth.

What’s even better is that the All on 6 and 8 are a same-day procedure. A second visit would be required after 3-8 months, when the implants have fused completely with the jawbone.

Patient’s Guide: All on 6 & 8
If you have multiple missing teeth and are fed up with the inconvenience of wearing dentures, then “All-on” dental implants are a good solution for restoring your smile.
These are dental procedures which are used to reconstruct a person’s mouth when they have lost a significant number of teeth in one or both jaws or are edentulous.
Imagine all of your teeth being connected and only having 6 or 8 roots that go into your jaw.
This is what these procedures offer rather than needing an implant for each missing tooth. These dental procedures are done in two stages.
Planning Your Treatment
Before the procedure, the dental implant surgeon will do an initial consultation. They will take your medical and dental history into account.
According to a research study by M. Gargari and colleagues published in the journal Oral Implantol (Rome), planning and correct diagnosis are crucial factors for successful restoration with six implants.4
The dentist will determine if you are a candidate for dental implants, and will design a treatment plan for you.
Placing the Dental Implants
If you do not require any preparatory procedures such as a bone graft, the implantologist may schedule your implant surgery soon after your consultation. 6 to 8 dental implants will be placed into the socket in the jawbone of the missing teeth.
Typically, multiple implant placement takes two to three hours. You will be sent home with a temporary bridge so that you do not go back with missing teeth.
Your Recovery and Restoration
It takes about 3 to 4 months for your jawbone to fuse with the implant. This process is called osseointegration.
According to Per-Ingvar Brånemark, the inventor of these implants, osseointegration “is the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing implant.”5
Once your recovery is complete, you will return to have your custom-made restoration placed. In case of replacement of multiple teeth, the dentist will place a full arch implant-supported prosthesis.
All-on-4 Vs All-on-6 Dental Implants
Both these procedures are similar in many ways. Both are effective dental solutions for people who have lost a significant number of teeth. Both treatments involve placing dental implants in your jaw. Typically, these implant surgeries last for 2-3 hours.
The All-on-4 procedure is typically used on patients who may have less available jawbone. It is also a shorter and simpler procedure, which usually means a shorter healing time.
The All-on-6 procedure is recommended to patients who don’t have perfect jawbones, but have sufficient bone to support six implants. While in an All-on-4 procedure, remaining healthy teeth are removed, in the All-on-6 procedure, these teeth are retained.
This procedure provides more support to the jaw which helps in an improved bite as compared to All-on-4 implants. Placing additional implants also helps in evenly distributing the pressure exerted by a bite or the act of chewing.
Still confused? You need to consult a dentist to decide which procedure is best suited to your individual needs.
Are you the right candidate?
- Unfortunately, not everyone is a candidate. If you have too much bone loss, grafting may not be feasible.
- If you have diabetes, then your healing process will be hindered.
- If you smoke, nicotine can cause your implants to fail during the healing process. Therefore, you will have to get your smoking habit under control.
Pre-Requisites for All-On-6 and All-On-8 Implants:
Treatment of Gum Disease: Any gum disease should be treated before the surgery. It interferes with the healing process and leads to implant failure.
Bone Quality: When more bone is present at an implant site, the chances of implant success increases.
Overall Oral Health/Medical History: A patient undergoing all on 6 and 8 implants must have good oral health. One must disclose medical history to the dentist during the initial consultation. We will be requiring the following initially:
- X-Rays and Panoramic X-Rays
- 3D Imaging
- List of medications currently taken
- Dental health records (if any)
All-on-6 Dental Implants in Los Algodones: FAQs
Will I be charged a consultation or diagnosis fee?
No, this is done free of charge.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
One may experience minor swelling and bruising post surgery. Anesthesia is given to the patient so that they do not feel the pain during the procedure. Post the surgery, antibiotics, and painkillers are given to ease the pain.
How long do implants last?
If one maintains proper oral hygiene, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Poorly cared implants may develop plaque and calculus which can lead to gum infection, bleeding and discomfort.
Regular dental checkups and adequate home care will determine how long will they last.
How long does it take to heal?
Healing may take up to 3-6 months. In general, healing time for implant depends on the quality of the patient’s bone.
Take extra care in the initial few weeks post your surgery. Eat a soft diet, rinse with salt water and avoid touching the incision area to minimize the risk of infection.
Is sedation dentistry offered at the clinic in Los Algodones?
Yes, we can provide sedation if desired. The clinic uses Nitrous Oxide or IV Sedation for this purpose.
