The All on 4 / All on 6 jaw implant procedure is one of the most popular procedures in the field of oral and dental medicine and surgery, due to its great results that have made many people want to undergo it to support their oral tissues. What are the stages of this procedure? And what should we follow after the procedure?

What are the stages of full jaw implantation?

There are five main stages through which the full jaw implantation process is carried out, which we follow at Smile Art Center with high quality. The following is an explanation of these stages.

Anesthesia

Here, local anesthesia is applied inside the mouth to the entire jaw to be implanted, and some rare cases may require general anesthesia.

Anesthesia here helps prevent the patient from feeling pain, especially since this procedure is considered highly surgical.

Surgical incision

The doctor first makes sure that the anesthesia used has fully taken effect, to avoid the patient feeling any pain during the procedure.

After confirmation, a simple surgical incision is made with specific specifications to expose some areas of the jawbone, the areas where the implants are intended to be placed.

Placement of implants

After ensuring that all areas targeted for implantation have been exposed, the implants are placed in specific directions that were accurately calculated earlier during the design of the treatment plan.

Close the crack

After ensuring that the implants are accurately placed in their correct positions within the jawbone, the incision is closed again with surgical sutures in a manner appropriate for this procedure.

After completing the full jaw implant and closing the incision, you must wait for a period determined by the doctor until the wound is completely healed. Then, you can begin the steps to make the implants that are placed on the implants and fixed to them.

formula work

After ensuring that the oral tissues are completely healed, the implants are in their correct places, and the wound is in a healthy position, a structure is designed to be placed on the jaw in general, fixed with these implants.

This is done by taking impressions of the jaw, including the implants, and relying on them in the design.

One of the things that greatly affects the final composition is the accuracy of these impressions, and we at Smile Art Center always strive to take the utmost care when taking these impressions.

Tips after full jaw implant

After the jaw implant is completely completed, there are many tips that you must adhere to during the recovery period; to achieve complete recovery, and thus contribute to the success of this procedure in general.

What we always advise our clients at Smile Art Center is the following:

• You should not think about tampering with the implant sites using anything, so as not to cause an infection to be transmitted to these sites and the failure of the implant of the lower or upper jaw.
• During the first few days after the implants settle into the jawbone, it is always best to stick to soft foods, and to avoid sticky foods as much as possible.
• All medications prescribed by the doctor must be taken correctly to reduce any pain that may be felt, in addition to increasing the body’s degree of protection from infection.
• It is important to drink enough water, as the resulting hydration helps speed up the healing process.
• Your doctor will usually tell you what you may feel, especially during the first period; do not worry about that; but if any other symptoms appear, inform him of them, especially if they are severe or unbearable.

Here we have finished talking about all the stages of the full jaw implant process, which we follow at the Smile Art Center with high accuracy. We also pointed out the most important tips that must be adhered to after completion.
