Discover the All on 4 / 6 / 8 treatments
Wave goodbye to removable dentures, and say hello to permanent fixed prostheses that’ll last you a lifetime.
The best choice for your dental prostheses in Albania hinges on how much bone is left in your jaw.
When a tooth goes AWOL, the jawbone in that area tends to dwindle rapidly.** If you lose multiple teeth, the bone loss can become quite significant. The treatment you choose to get your teeth back depends on how much bone you’ve got left.
For most clinics, the only solution here is a removable denture.** But actually, there’s another option: zygomatic implants.
Total Mouth Rehabilitations
Protocol 1
With over 6mm of bone, you’ve got a bit more leeway, and you can pick from various options for dental prostheses in Albania, like All on 4, All on 6, and All on 8.
The best bets are definitely All on 6 and All on 8, as they offer the most stability, the best aesthetic results, and guarantee top-notch masticatory functionality.
Protocol 2
In this scenario, the best course of action is to go ahead with a sinus lift to make sure the implants are properly placed in the jaw, usually opting for All on 6 or All on 8. If you decide against the lift, All on 4 is your only option, but the implants will only be placed at the front, as there isn’t enough bone elsewhere in the jaw. As a result, the prosthesis is fixed only at the front, which brings about obvious issues with stability and functionality, not to mention the constant risk of breakage.
Protocol 3
When you’re down to less than 3mm of bone, there’s only one path to follow for dental prostheses in Albania: zygomatic implants, a special type of dental implant. Zygomatic implants are anchored in the zygomatic bone (the cheekbone) instead of the jaw. They’re typically longer and have a curved shape to suit the structure of the zygomatic bone. The surgical procedure for inserting these implants is more complex compared to traditional dental implants and requires a higher level of expertise from the implant surgeon.
A sinus lift is a surgical procedure used to increase the amount of bone available in the back of the upper dental arch. It’s necessary for patients who’ve lost bone in the rear area of the upper dental arch due to missing teeth or other factors.
San Marco Dental’s prostheses offer personalised solutions like All on 4, All on 6, and All on 8, ensuring both a great look and optimal masticatory functionality. They’re designed for different bone conditions, ensuring durability and reliability. These treatments blend quality with adaptability to meet the unique needs of each patient.
The main difference between All on 4, All on 6, and All on 8 is the number of implants used to support the dental prosthesis. All on 4 uses four implants, while All on 6 and All on 8 use six and eight implants, respectively, offering more stability and a better look.
The amount of bone available in your jaw is crucial when choosing a dental prosthesis. If there’s a decent amount of bone (more than 6mm), several prosthesis options are available. If there’s less bone, you might need to consider more advanced treatments, such as zygomatic implants.
