All-on-6 Dental Implants

When Additional Support Is Appropriate.

Discover how All-on-6 compares to All-on-4 and why some patients may benefit from additional implant support.

At Art of All-on-4, every treatment plan begins with a simple principle:

The right solution is the one that is biomechanically appropriate for your anatomy. Not the one with the highest number of implants.

Our role is to determine which foundation will provide the greatest long-term stability, function, and longevity.


Not Every Full-Arch Case Is the Same.

Many patients researching full-mouth dental implants assume that more implants automatically mean a better result.

In reality, successful implant dentistry is not determined by quantity.

It is determined by planning.

For many patients, All-on-4 provides exceptional stability, function, and long-term success.

For others, additional support through All-on-6 may be recommended based on anatomy, bone density, and functional demands.

The key is choosing the right foundation for your unique situation.

What Is All-on-6?

All-on-6 is a full-arch dental implant solution that uses six strategically placed implants to support a fixed bridge of permanent teeth.

Like All-on-4, the restoration is fixed and non-removable.

The difference lies in the number of implants supporting the arch.

In certain situations, the additional implants can provide increased load distribution and structural reinforcement.

The goal is not simply to place more implants.

The goal is to create the most predictable long-term outcome possible.

All-on-4 vs All-on-6

All-on-4


✔ Uses four strategically placed implants

✔ Excellent solution for most full-arch cases

✔ Often avoids the need for extensive bone grafting

✔ Allows immediate fixed temporary teeth in many cases

✔ Proven long-term success

All-on-6


✔ Uses six implants for additional support

✔ May improve load distribution in certain cases

✔ Can provide additional reinforcement when anatomy allows

✔ Recommended selectively based on individual needs

✔ Designed for enhanced stability in specific situations
