I want to have All on Six upper and lower. My friend had hers done a month ago, and her acrylic temporary arches keep breaking. The very 'reputable' surgeon also doesn't appear to be correcting her overbite, which he said he could. In fact, her temporary bridges are both protruding, and she has a hard time talking/chewing. Is this all a normal part of the process for this procedure???? After seeing her nightmare, I'm worried.
Answer: All on 4 healing phase can be a challenge There are many providers to choose from for All on Four treatment (All on Six in this case), and there are many methods. Most clinicians end up at the same result, but not always. Even if the result is the same, the experience can vary tremendously, even with the same provider. The challenges/complications your friend has doesn't mean you will have the same things happen to you.

Answer: Concerns about complications from All-on-6 implants Hello, without photos and seeing your friend it is impossible to answer your question. However, with properly placed implants and a good prosthetic dentist who will be making the teeth fitting over the implants, there is no reason you should not get a good result.

Answer: Complication concerns Unfortunately fracture of the temporary or interim prosthetic is a known and realistic complication. It is more common when the patient has a history of bruxism, clenching, grinding. We ask patient to remain on a very soft diet during the healing phase which helps protect them from fracturing the temporary.

Answer: Breakage of temporaries is a warning Hello. Temporary acrylic prostheses are softer materials than permanent prosthesis materials such as zirconia or porcelain fused metal.

Answer: All on 6 Hi, It is possible for the initial acrylic to sometimes break. It is a temporary measure but usually they don't. I would request a PMMA or an acrylic version made prior to the final to make sure the teeth and bite is aligned and looks great then I would sign off on them making the final which should be significantly improved.
