What Are All on 6 Dental Implants?
All on 6 is a full-arch dental implant approach that uses six strategically positioned implants to support a complete upper or lower arch of fixed teeth.
The additional implants may provide broader support and load distribution when the patient's bone, bite, anatomy, and treatment plan make six implants appropriate. All on 6 is not automatically better than All on 4—the right configuration depends on the individual patient.
How All on 6 Works
-
Six implants support a complete arch of fixed teeth
-
Implant positions are planned using 3D imaging
-
Additional implant support may be appropriate for certain
anatomy
or bite forces -
Fixed teeth are securely attached to the implants
All on 4 vs All on 6
| Feature | All on 4 | All on 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Implants | 4 per arch | 6 per arch |
| Fixed teeth | Yes | Yes |
| Main goal | Full-arch fixed restoration | Full-arch fixed restoration |
| When used | When four implants provide appropriate support | When anatomy/treatment plan favors additional implant support |
| Better? | Depends on the individual case | Depends on the individual case |
Our goal is to use the fewest implants needed to provide strong, predictable support—typically four when clinically appropriate—rather than add implants unnecessarily.
