All on Six System with Megagen Implants
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
The All-on-Six dental implant system is a modern solution for patients needing a full arch replacement. It involves the strategic placement of six implants in the jawbone to support a full bridge, typically replacing an entire row of teeth in the upper or lower jaw. This approach has been designed to provide a more secure and long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures, offering stability and functionality that mimic natural teeth. Megagen implants, known for their innovative design and durable materials, are particularly suited for this procedure, providing excellent osseointegration (the fusion of the implant with the jawbone) and reducing the risk of implant failure.
In the All-on-Six system, six implants are placed in areas of the jaw where bone density is strongest, even if some bone loss has occurred. These implants serve as anchors for a fixed dental prosthesis, which resembles a natural set of teeth. The All-on-Six method can often be completed in a single surgical session, making it highly convenient for patients traveling internationally for treatment. This efficiency is achieved by using advanced diagnostic tools, such as 3D imaging and digital planning software, to ensure the precise placement of each implant.
One of the key advantages of Megagen implants in the All-on-Six system is their specific design features, such as the Xpeed surface treatment, which accelerates healing and enhances stability. This helps reduce the overall treatment time and improves the chances of a successful outcome. Megagen implants are also resistant to corrosion and offer greater load-bearing capabilities, making them ideal for patients seeking durable and robust full-arch restorations.
Procedure Duration
The All-on-Six procedure with Megagen implants can typically be completed in one or two stages, depending on the patient's oral health and bone density. The initial stage involves a thorough consultation, imaging, and treatment planning. The dental professional will evaluate the jawbone to determine the best placement for the implants, utilizing 3D scans for precision. This planning phase, which can often be completed within a day or two, is critical to the procedure’s success, ensuring the implants are positioned to optimize strength and stability.
The surgery itself usually lasts between two to four hours, during which the implants are placed into the jawbone. If the patient has sufficient bone density, the dental prosthesis (the full arch) can sometimes be placed on the same day, a procedure often referred to as "Teeth in a Day." However, in cases where bone grafting is necessary, additional time may be required for the bone to integrate and strengthen before the prosthesis can be attached. Generally, for such patients, there may be a healing period of three to six months before the final prosthesis is installed.
Recovery from the All-on-Six procedure varies, with most patients experiencing initial swelling and discomfort for a few days following surgery. Pain can typically be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers. The implants begin to integrate with the bone over the next few months, and patients are encouraged to follow specific post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing. Full recovery may take up to six months, after which the dental arch will be securely fixed in place, providing a long-lasting, natural-looking smile.

- Bone Loss: If the implants are not adequately integrated with the jawbone, there can be a risk of bone loss, leading to implant failure.
- Extended Healing Time: While some patients can receive implants and prosthetics in a single day, others may experience a longer healing period, especially if bone grafting is needed.
- Cost Variability: The cost of the All-on-Six procedure can vary widely based on the destination and the specific technology used, so it is crucial to consider all potential expenses, including travel.
- Post-Operative Discomfort: Patients may experience pain, swelling, or bruising after surgery, which generally subsides but may require ongoing pain management in the initial recovery stages.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
Selecting the right professional and facility is crucial for the success of the All-on-Six procedure with Megagen implants. First, look for dentists who specialize in implantology or oral surgery, as these fields require specific training and expertise in handling complex full-arch restoration procedures. Board certification, years of experience, and familiarity with the Megagen implant system are key indicators of a well-qualified professional. Additionally, online reviews, testimonials, and case studies can provide insight into the provider’s reputation and track record.
When choosing a hospital or clinic, prioritize facilities that use the latest in dental technology, such as 3D imaging and computer-assisted surgery, to ensure precision in the implant placement. It is also beneficial to confirm that the clinic adheres to international standards for cleanliness, sterilization, and patient care. Reputable clinics often offer consultations or virtual assessments before the patient arrives, providing a clear treatment plan and cost breakdown, which helps patients make informed decisions before embarking on their dental tourism journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
