Full Arch Dental Implants – All-on-4 – All-on-6 – All-on-X

Full Arch Dental Implants is a Full Mouth Reconstruction treatment, that can be done in the mandible (lower arch) and maxilla (upper arch), although there are important anatomical differences that interfere with the planning of dental implant surgery. Fixed prostheses on dental implants can be made of Zirconia, Pure Zirconia, Porcelain(metal-ceramic), as well as Resin.

This treatment is also known as Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis or Implant-Supported Denture. This type of implant treatment for all teeth, allows patients to regain their smile and chew.

Dental implant surgery is currently a fairly straightforward operation, carried out in an office or hospital environment, with hospitalization for the patient’s comfort. Implants make it possible to replace missing teeth even in large areas of the arch, including in patients with all their teeth compromised by periodontal disease.
They can also be used in patients with bone loss, who may need bone grafting before or during the installation of the dental implant.

It is important to note that there are currently different types of dental implants, and the most modern ones, cone morse implants, allow for faster healing.

Full Arch Dental Implants . Implant-Supported Denture step by step

With regard to the end result, the aim is to obtain fixed dental prostheses that will remain supported on the implants. This will allow the patient to regain their masticatory function and aesthetics.

Of course, as Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis are screwed onto dental implants, the result is a very efficient dental prosthesis for chewing, as well as excellent aesthetics and comfort.

It is therefore a much better solution than a removable prosthesis, as it provides excellent fixation and stability. In the upper arch, the full arch dental implants treatment has the added advantage of completely uncovering the palate (roof of the mouth), which improves patient comfort.

Unlike removable prostheses (dentures), which cover the roof of the mouth to allow them to be fixed and make it difficult to perceive the taste of food, All-on-X prostheses with implants are thin and occupy only the region of the dentition, leaving the rest of the mouth free, similar to the situation found when there are natural teeth. Currently, the most modern materials are the Zirconia Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis and the Porcelain Prothesis on a Full Arch DentalTreatment.

Full Arch Dental Implants .Examinations and planning

After radiographic examinations and a CT scan of the jaws, the dental implant specialist will be able to analyze the ideal planning for the case and thus indicate bone complements such as grafts to better prepare the bone if necessary.

The jaw bone (lower arch) is more rigid and resistant, so dental implants can be installed in most cases. The upper jaw bone, on the other hand, is less dense and delicate and has a more complex anatomy.

Certainly the proximity to the nose, the maxillary sinus cavities and the greater bone loss require further study.

Full Arch Dental Implants With or Without Bone Graft ?

If bone grafting is necessary, don’t be alarmed – it’s very common. Of course, dental grafting for full archa implants is not necessarily complicated, invasive or large. On the contrary, most of the time the bone graft for a full arch implant is simple, small and restricted to the position of the implant.

Less invasive implant surgery: in our clinic we use current concepts of minimally invasive surgery for dental implants, which make the procedure faster and offer greater comfort during the procedure and especially during the healing phase of the dental implant.

Computer-guided implant surgery: this is a type of dental implant surgery offered at our clinic that is planned by computerized scans of the jaws.

For example, computed tomography, in conjunction with a digital mold of the arch (scanner), generates guides for the quick and safe positioning of implants. Click here to learn more about guided surgery for total implants.

Full Mouth Reconstruction Prosthesis and other types

Certainly the most common prosthesis for implanting all the teeth in a full arch is the so-called protocol prosthesis. This is a resin prosthesis with a metal reinforcement bar inside.

Over time, however, more modern ways of making complete implant prosthesis have emerged. At the ImplArt Dental Clinic, we offer more technological implant materials, which are completely made on our premises and in our own dental prosthesis laboratory (see more):

Metal-ceramic crowns and prostheses – traditional porcelain

Metal-ceramic crowns and prostheses are a classic option for people who have lost one or more teeth, to fully or partially cover a damaged crown or to improve the appearance, shape or alignment of teeth. Porcelain dental crowns are the popular name for metal-ceramic crowns, but today there are other types of porcelain for dental crowns.

Advantages of metal-ceramic prostheses

The positive points of metal-ceramic crown technology are their strength, high level of durability and appearance. With the new generations of different porcelain formulations, they look very similar to natural teeth. In their final finish, porcelain prostheses are given a special shine so that they don’t darken under the effect of black light.

How crowns are made from this material

A metal-ceramic crown consists of an internal metal structure, which is then veneered with porcelain (ceramic).

metalloceramic crown vs. zirconia crown
Front and inside view ofmetal+ceramic crown (metal inner layer) vs. porcelain crown with zirconia inner structure

Metal-ceramic crowns have a great ability to blend in with the natural coloring of neighboring teeth. They can be used, for example, to replace a large restoration, protect a weakened tooth, make prostheses for one or more teeth, restore a dental implant or a full prosthesis to replace all the teeth in an arch. In short, when making a prosthesis, the patient and the dentist will decide on the best option for each person.

Zirconia crown vs. metalloceramic crown
Which material is better? The zirconia crown (left) or the metalloceramic crown (right). The strength of the pieces is similar, but there is a great advantage in the aesthetics of the crown which contains no metal inside.

If it’s a metal-ceramic prosthesis, the specialist will choose the correct color so that it matches your natural teeth. Before your permanent porcelain crown is made, you will receive a temporary dental crown. In some cases where natural teeth are reconstructed using porcelain crowns, the root canal-treated teeth will need an internal reinforcement pin called a dental core.

Disadvantages of the metal-ceramic crown

The structural metal of the metal-ceramic is the main strength of the metal+porcelain prosthesis (resistance), but it is also its main disadvantage. The internal metal of the prosthesis or dental crown can make the work less aesthetic because:

  • A dark spot may appear on the tooth due to the translucency of the metal.
  • Dentures can turn gray
  • A metal-ceramic porcelain crown can show metal on its edge, leaving the gums dark
  • The porcelain of dentures can detach one day, leaving the bare metal exposed
  • They are difficult to repair in the event of a fracture
  • They are less living than natural teeth or more modern prostheses such as dental zirconia.

What if I don’t want metal in my mouth?

Another option to metal ceramics can be metal-free porcelain, which is very suitable for front teeth or for people who are allergic to metals. Nowadays there are several types of metal-free crowns, including computer-made crowns, in which the molds are not made with putty but with digitized molds.

ImplArt Odontologia has its own dental laboratory within the clinic. This certainly facilitates communication between dentists and prosthodontists and reduces the time it takes to make the prosthesis. The in-house prosthetic laboratory is fully equipped with digital technologies and 3D tooth printers. If you have any questions, please contact our team or book an appointment with our specialist team. We’d be delighted to hear from you!

Computerized metal-free porcelain crown

The metal-free porcelain crown provides aesthetics combined with strength and durability

What is a porcelain crown?

A porcelain crown is an artificial tooth – a dental prosthesis – that resembles in form and function a natural tooth that has been damaged. Porcelain crowns can also be grouped together to make fixed bridges or fixed porcelain prostheses. Here at the ImplArt Dental Clinic in Brazil, we make metal-free crowns using completely computerized systems. We therefore offer our patients the most modern systems and the most advanced results.

What is dental porcelain?

Porcelain is a material that resembles glass and is used to reconstruct teeth. It has a natural color and high resistance. It is also called dental ceramic.

Types and materials of porcelain crowns

In short, there are different types of materials used to make porcelain crowns: the older materials use metal and the more modern ones are metal-free. Porcelain crowns with metal internal structures are called metal-ceramic and crowns with a white structure such as zirconia are called metal-free.

There are also crowns that do not use internal structures and are made using computerized methods. In addition, covering a destroyed natural tooth with a ceramic crown is essential for oral health, as it will restore the patient’s chewing ability and even allow them to eat hard foods.

The advantage of the metal-free porcelain crown is that it is more aesthetic, since pure porcelain is a white material. As a result, the structure is not visible inside the crown even in brightly lit environments. The new generations of porcelain crowns are made using cad/cam methods according to computerized designs and don’t even require layers of internal reinforcement like metal and zirconia. They are made from a single (monolithic) material. These are digital, metal-free porcelain crowns whose main advantages are aesthetics and speed of production.

Translucent zirconia

Another innovative material for making a new porcelain crown is translucent zirconia, a material that is up to 10 x stronger than ordinary porcelain crowns. For this reason, they are highly recommended for the oral rehabilitation of back teeth and in patients with bruxism. Oral rehabilitation with crowns can be carried out on implants, on roots with root canal treatment and on natural teeth without root canal treatment.

full arch dental implants

Fitting dental crowns requires preparation (tooth wear) so that the crown fits correctly. The main digital technique we use is Cerec 3D, an intraoral molding system with scanners and robotic tooth production.

Before a permanent prosthesis is made, we will make a temporary prosthesis so that you don’t lose your tooth. After the rehabilitation treatment, you will be able to lead a normal life, eat hard food and clean your teeth every day with a toothbrush and dental floss. The ImplArt Clinic specializes in dental prostheses and can offer you a porcelain crown with state-of-the-art technology.

Porcelain crown: advantages and indications

Porcelain crowns are fixed dental prostheses that mimic the shape and appearance of natural teeth. When a tooth is badly damaged, it may be necessary to have root canal treatment and a porcelain crown. By Dr. Roberto Markarian, graduated dentist and specialist in dental prostheses and dental implants in São Paulo, Brazil.

What is dental porcelain?

Choosing the ideal dental prosthesis can lead to confusion when faced with a number of options. Fixed dental prostheses must meet both functional and aesthetic needs. These are the main objectives that determine the choice of the ideal material. Before choosing the material, it is first necessary to understand the differences between the types of porcelain dental crowns. The main one is the reinforcement technique, which is the part required for masticatory efforts. Understand the differences better:

Metal-ceramic crown

The porcelain dental crown is built on a metal structure. It is durable and aesthetic, and can be used on both anterior and posterior teeth. However, in some cases, it may not achieve the best aesthetic result on anterior teeth, because the dark metal inside the prosthesis can leave the crown looking darkened when subjected to intense lighting.

Porcelain crown with metal-free zirconia

This is a porcelain crown mounted on a white zirconia structure, which is therefore metal-free. It is highly durable and has excellent aesthetic results, as the white zirconia of the internal structure leaves the crown with a natural appearance very similar to the natural tooth. The porcelain crown with zirconia can also be fixed on dental implants and is completely computer-engineered and made on a 3D tooth printer. It is also an indication for people with metal allergies.

Pure porcelain crown

It has excellent aesthetic results and great resistance. The material used is lithium disilicate or feldspathic ceramic. Because this ceramic is very translucent, it is not normally suitable for use on darkened teeth or on metal posts.

How much does a porcelain crown cost?

Treatment prices can only be given after a face-to-face dental consultation. This is because the patient needs to be thoroughly assessed so that our team can understand their functional and aesthetic needs. Only then can we recommend the most appropriate treatment. In many cases, our team will offer a number of treatment options and respective outcome expectations, and the patient is free to choose.

Porcelain crowns can be made quickly in our clinic using our Day Clinic method for porcelain crowns. At the end of the porcelain crown treatment, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by flossing daily and brushing regularly.

If you are far away, it is possible to have an online consultation, also known as a teleconsultation. This preliminary consultation takes place with our clinical director, Dr. Roberto Markarian, who will be able to make a preliminary assessment of your case and make recommendations for your treatment. This also applies to those who need dental implants, as we can plan your dental implant surgery remotely.

Will I lose my dentures during dental bone grafting?

Before answering this question, it is necessary to explain that there are different dental bone grafting techniques, each with its own complexity and extent. This directly influences the guidelines for the post-operative period and recovery time.

In most cases it is possible to use a prosthesis while the graft heals

Dental bone grafting to allow the placement of just one implant, where the patient has teeth to be used as support for the prosthesis, is not the same as block grafting to place several implants in a full arch, which is considered more complex.

However, in many cases, it is possible to attach a temporary resin prosthesis, which is suitable for helping the tooth graft recover and heal, as well as allowing the patient not to be without teeth for the duration of the treatment.

After the recovery period, the temporary prosthesis is replaced by a permanent prosthesis made from the material chosen jointly by the patient and the dentist (resin, metal-ceramic or fully esthetic zirconia).

Types of tooth graft

Particulate Graft

Particulate grafting is used in small reconstructions, such as filling in a site where there has been bone loss or in the maxillary sinus lift technique. The biomaterials used in particulate bone grafting are implanted to replace or repair atrophied tissue.

They can be of natural origin (a small amount of crushed human bone from the patient themselves or from a tissue bank for transplants, or freeze-dried bovine bone powder).

genox_enxerto_osseo

The particulate graft can also be made of synthetic material produced in the laboratory, fully biocompatible with osteoconductive properties (attraction of bone tissue-forming cells) or synthetic vitreous materials (synthetic hydroxyapatite).

The particulate dental graft is deposited in situ and then covered with a collagen membrane. In favorable cases, the dental implant can be placed on the same day as the graft, followed by a temporary prosthesis.

Block Grafting

This technique is indicated for more extensive reconstructions. The block-shaped tooth graft can be taken from another part of the patient’s body. When only one block is needed, it can be taken from the mandible.

dental graft

When more blocks are needed, they can be taken from the pelvis or skullcap. None of the donor sites suffer from bone loss. The blocks are fixed in the jawbone with titanium screws and will thus allow more dental implants to be placed.

The possibility of using a prosthesis in this type of graft is therefore assessed on a case-by-case basis. The ImplArtDental Clinic has extensive experience in dental bone grafting techniques.

Fixed prosthesis on teeth can be replaced by crowns and implants

Fixed dental prostheses on teeth are a solution for providing function and aesthetics to the smile of a person who has lost or fractured teeth. This type of prosthesis is also known as a bridge.

Fixed prosthesis on teeth to replace missing teeth

Sometimes it is installed glued over remaining neighboring teeth or attached by staples. Although this is a great solution for filling gaps, it can cause some inconvenience over time.

One of them is that this type of prosthesis is unable to stop bone resorption at the site, especially under the suspended element.

This is because the body progressively absorbs bone volume at the site of a tooth extraction without immediate replacement. In this respect, rapid dental implantation would be more appropriate.

The prosthesis doesn’t follow this movement and the tendency is for an unsightly gap to appear between it and the receding bone tissue.

This can leave the prosthesis out of place over time and the wearer may experience discomfort when chewing. Staples, on the other hand, can hurt the oral mucosa and damage the aesthetics of the smile if the metal is visible.

Another drawback of fixed prostheses on teeth is that they require wear and tear on the supporting teeth, which can make them more fragile and susceptible to diseases such as tooth decay and infiltration of canals or gum inflammation.

Replacing bridges over teeth with bridges over implants or single crowns therefore has many benefits, the main one being that it stops bone resorption. When the implant pins are installed in the bone, they function as tooth roots and the body understands that this bone is still useful.

Dental implants have other advantages:

  • Preserves the integrity of neighboring teeth (which do not need to be worn down);
  • Protects bone and gum tissue against periodontal disease and infiltration;
  • It is more resistant and durable;
  • It restores masticatory function and gives you the confidence to speak and smile;
  • Extremely aesthetic result. The prosthetic crown mimics the color, texture and shape of neighboring teeth. There is the aesthetic advantage of having no metal points from the staples.
  • When crowns are individualized, they make it possible to floss (note that the fixed prosthesis on teeth is one piece and it is not possible to floss between the teeth).

Dental implants offer several other advantages in addition to stopping bone resorption. They provide stability and security when chewing and speaking, as well as helping to preserve facial bone structure. In addition, single crowns or bridges on implants offer a more natural aesthetic, promoting a more harmonious smile.

See examples of aesthetic and implant treatments.

Changing your dentures

If you have been wearing a fixed prosthesis on your teeth for many years and would like to replace it with a dental implant, you will need to undergo a professional assessment that will identify whether there is advanced bone loss or bruxism.

In some cases, bone grafting can be a solution for reconstructing lost volume. Find out more about bone grafting.

Ideally, people should try to have this replaced as soon as possible to avoid bone loss, but in cases where the gums are not healthy, the procedure may be contraindicated.

Prior periodontal treatment would then be necessary. It is important to remember that, once treatment has been completed, you should visit the dentist every 6 months for prophylaxis and to monitor the results of the treatment.

How important are the tests for dental implants?

Of course, periapical radiographic images are essential for visualizing teeth, dental crowns, roots, periodontal ligaments and alveolar bone (bone around teeth/implants) in detail. The periapical image is the best radiographic view for identifying certain types of lesions, infections, diseases, anomalies or fractures in any of these anatomical structures. In addition, panoramic radiography and computed tomography are necessary to plan implant surgery.

Prosthetics and restorations in one day with Cerec

The state-of-the-art Cerec 3D system means that, in some cases, prostheses and dental restorations can be designed and made in just one day. This speed is only possible because of the Cerec 3D system with German technology.

Technology at the service of dentistry to make prostheses and restorations quickly

It has a machining unit (its own prosthetic laboratory) that sculpts the shape of the prosthesis in a ceramic block, according to the digital design previously made on a computer using CAD/CAM technology.

The prostheses designed and sculpted by the Cerec 3D System fit perfectly and are in harmony with each patient’s needs. The prostheses that can be made in one day at Cerec 3D:

Complete dental implants improve chewing, self-esteem and aesthetics

A complete dental implant is a fixed dental prosthesis on implants that makes up for the absence of all the teeth and improves chewing, speech and the look of the smile. It is called a protocol prosthesis and aims to re-establish the patient’s chewing function by inserting a dental implant in the upper or lower arch.

There are currently many types of protocol prosthesis to be installed on dental implants. Among them is translucent zirconia, which is the most modern option because it uses a computerized system for its execution, which improves precision, speeds up results and allows for superior aesthetics combined with high resistance.

The dental implant, on the other hand, can be made of titanium, or even ceramic, in Straumann‘s modern version, Pure Ceramic, or even the fast-healing titanium version, Slactive. There is also a national dental implant option, Neodent.

Complete dental implants to improve chewing and self-esteem

We are currently working with materials that are very comparable to natural teeth, both in terms of function and aesthetics. Patients who have lost their teeth for various reasons can have consequences that affect their health and well-being.

The absence of natural teeth (edentulism) hinders the ability to chew food, compromising the intake of essential nutrients for health and quality of life.

In addition, the person with total edentulism has their social life affected because they can’t smile and speak confidently in front of other people. As a result, they tend to become reclusive and have low self-esteem.

Undeniably, treatment with implants improves the patient’s quality of life, raising their self-esteem and allowing them to eat comfortably.

Advantages of a fixed prosthesis over a removable prosthesis

The fact that the prosthesis is fixed on implants makes it more comfortable and safer for the wearer to chew and speak than a mobile prosthesis, which can sometimes become maladjusted and move or even hurt.

Implants can be placed in different ways, as it varies according to the patient’s condition, especially if they have been edentulous for many years.

The most common method is to place six titanium implant pins in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. A temporary prosthesis is also always planned so that the patient doesn’t lose teeth.

After the healing period (which varies according to each case), dental prostheses can be attached to the implants for complete oral rehabilitation.

Titanium implants replace lost tooth roots, while prostheses are similar in shape, color and strength to natural dental crowns.

Learn more about the full-arch implant.

Natural result of implants for all teeth

The complete dental implant is very similar to natural human teeth. As a result, the patient’s smile is once again harmonious and difficult for other people to distinguish as a prosthesis.

Social interaction is restored and the patient has more confidence to smile and speak. When the patient receives a complete dental implant, they are able to chew food that they couldn’t chew before.

This is a way of ensuring a richer, more nutritious diet and that the food reaches the stomach properly prepared for digestion. ImplArt Odontologia specializes in dental implants, in titanium or ceramic, and modern computerized prostheses, Zirconia or Cerec porcelain, in addition to traditional methods.

Fixed dental prosthesis – Specialist clinic

Fixed dental prostheses are an excellent treatment for replacing missing teeth, combining aesthetics and chewing ability, taking advantage of your original teeth.

Implart Odontologia specializes in aesthetic and conventional fixed dental prostheses.

A fixed prosthesis is a type of dental prosthesis that cannot be removed by the wearer. It differs from dentures, for example, which can be removed whenever the person wants. It is indicated for various types of restorations and rehabilitations, from the replacement of a single tooth to the rehabilitation of a complete arch.

It can, for example, be installed on a tooth or fixed on dental implants. Implart specializes in dental prostheses because it has its own dental prosthesis laboratory with a team specializing in prostheses and 3D printers that sculpt various types of prostheses in ceramic material.

The Cerec and Ceramill Motion 2 printers are some of the most modern tooth printers in the world. In this way, prostheses are made with greater speed and precision, without the need to send molds elsewhere. Some facial aesthetic treatments can be used in conjunction with dental prostheses to achieve even more impressive results: such as Botox, wrinkle fillers and lip fillers.

Types of fixeddentalprosthesis

Single tooth reconstructions

Also known as dental blocks, onlays or inlays, they serve to restore a tooth when the crown is partially compromised, usually by decay. The prosthetic piece covers only the decayed part of the dental crown. It is bonded with dental cement after the site has been cleaned and prepared.

There are different materials used to make fixed partial dentures, the most common being metal alloy – metalloceramics, resin, porcelain and 3D zirconia (considered the most aesthetic material).

A prosthesis that replaces the dental crown when it has completely decayed. In these cases, the root can still be maintained with root canal treatment or removed and replaced with a dental implant. The prosthetic dental crown is made of resin or porcelain.

When the root can still be maintained, the prosthetic crown is then bonded to the prepared tooth or to an abutment installed inside the treated canal. When an implant is indicated to replace the root, the prosthetic crown is screwed onto the implant.

Fixed Bridges – Fixed Dentures

Multiple crown prosthesis to fill a larger space. It can also be fixed on implants or on previously prepared teeth used as abutments. The indication depends on tooth and root decay.

Dentures for all teeth – full mouth / rehabilitations

It replaces the complete absence of teeth from the arches. For a long time, dentures were the only way to make up for this absence, but there are some known discomforts with this type of prosthesis, such as mobility due to the lack of complete adhesion and possible injuries.

The fixed full denture has come as a solution because it is completely stable in the mouth for the elderly, giving them the security to speak, chew and smile.

Fixed dental prostheses on dental implants can be made of resin (Bränemark protocol), porcelain with a metal internal structure or metal-free zirconia.

After having extensive dental prostheses, the patient can have an even better result with aesthetic harmonization treatments or lip fillings.

It is always important to remember that, once treatment has been completed, you should visit your dentist every 6 months for prophylaxis and to monitor the results of your treatment.
