DISADVANTAGES
Cost: The All-on-six procedure can be more expensive than traditional dentures or other tooth replacement options, primarily due to the number of implants and the complexity of the procedure.
Surgical Procedure: The All-on-six surgery is a surgical procedure that requires anesthesia and involves some level of risk, such as infection or nerve damage.
Healing Time: While the initial recovery period is relatively short, it can take several months for the implants to fully integrate with the jawbone before the final prosthetic teeth can be attached.
Maintenance: Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential to maintain the health and longevity of the All-on-six implants.
Not Suitable for Everyone: Some patients may not be suitable candidates for All-on-six surgery due to underlying medical conditions or insufficient bone density in the jaw.
