Full-mouth rehabilitation with Implant All-on-6 at Phuong Thanh Dental Clinic

Complete tooth loss does not only significantly affect chewing function but also leads to many changes in facial aesthetics, speech, and overall quality of daily life. In cases of long-term tooth loss or when the remaining teeth have a poor prognosis, full-arch rehabilitation requires careful evaluation to select a more suitable and stable long-term solution.

At Phuong Thanh Dental Clinic, one patient presented with infected teeth, multiple mobile teeth, and jawbone resorption, which clearly affected both chewing ability and confidence in communication.

Pre-treatment condition

Through clinical examination and radiographic assessment, the doctors identified multiple complex issues affecting both arches, including:

• Dental infection
• Multiple mobile teeth
• Jawbone resorption
• The remaining dentition no longer had a favorable long-term prognosis

In cases like this, the treatment goal is not only to replace missing teeth or teeth that can no longer be preserved, but also to restore chewing function, occlusal stability, and overall facial aesthetic harmony.

Treatment solution: Immediate full-arch Implant All-on-6 for both jaws

After a comprehensive analysis of the jawbone, soft tissue, and restorative potential, the doctors recommended immediate Implant All-on-6 treatment for both arches.

This method restores a full arch using 6 Implant fixtures per arch to support the prosthetic teeth above. In suitable cases, the procedure may be carried out following the protocol of tooth extraction – Implant placement – immediate provisional restoration, based on a carefully planned treatment strategy.

The treatment steps in this case included:

• Comprehensive examination and radiographic evaluation of both arches
• Treatment planning and determination of suitable Implant positions
• Extraction of mobile or non-restorable teeth
• Implant placement into the jawbone
• Immediate placement of a provisional prosthesis on the Implants

Following this treatment protocol helps the patient avoid a prolonged edentulous period after surgery in cases that meet the proper clinical indications.

What is the significance of immediate provisional restoration on Implants?

One of the important highlights of this case was that the patient received an immediate provisional full-arch prosthesis on Implants after surgery, according to clinical indication.

This is highly meaningful because it helps the patient:

• Have temporary teeth for early communication
• Support chewing at an appropriate level during the initial healing phase
• Maintain facial aesthetics and smile appearance
• Reduce the feeling of being toothless after removal of the old teeth

However, not every full-arch Implant case is suitable for immediate provisionalization. This indication must be carefully evaluated by the doctor based on:

• Primary stability of the Implant fixtures
• Condition of the jawbone
• Occlusion
• The overall treatment plan

Full-arch Implant rehabilitation does more than improve chewing

Beyond replacing missing teeth, full-arch rehabilitation on Implants can also bring significant improvements to facial appearance and quality of life, especially in patients who have been edentulous for many years.

Some improvements that may be observed after rehabilitation include:

• More stable chewing function
• Clearer speech in many cases
• Better support for the lips and surrounding soft tissues
• Help restore facial balance and harmony
• Improve self-confidence in daily communication

When full-arch tooth loss persists for a long time, the face often tends to show:

• Sunken lips
• Reduced support around the mouth
• An appearance that may feel older or less vibrant

Restoring the proper supporting structures through full-arch rehabilitation can help the face appear fuller, more harmonious, and more youthful in many suitable cases.

Treatment process and results after rehabilitation

This case was carried out according to a planned protocol by the surgical and prosthodontic team at Phuong Thanh Dental Clinic. After surgery, the patient received an immediate provisional prosthesis on Implants, helping support daily activities, communication, and adaptation during the initial recovery period.

After completing the initial rehabilitation phase, the patient showed clear improvements in:

• Smile
• Communication ability
• Comfort in daily activities
• Greater self-confidence after long-term tooth loss

Full-arch Implant rehabilitation at Phuong Thanh Dental Clinic

At Phuong Thanh Dental Clinic, cases of full-arch tooth loss or remaining teeth with poor prognosis are carefully evaluated by the doctors based on clinical findings, radiographic imaging, and actual jawbone conditions to create an appropriate treatment plan. In suitable cases, the option of Implant All-on-6 combined with immediate provisional restoration can be a solution that helps restore chewing function, aesthetics, and quality of life at an earlier stage.
