All-on-6 is a full-arch implant solution that uses six strategically placed titanium posts to anchor a complete set of fixed, non-removable teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gum surface, All-on-6 implants integrate directly into the jawbone, mimicking the natural structure of your teeth from root to crown. The six-implant design provides a greater distribution of bite force compared to All-on-4 implants, making it a preferred option for patients who have experienced more significant bone loss or require additional stability.

The prosthetic arch attached to the implants is custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your facial structure, giving you a smile that looks natural, feels secure, and functions like healthy, permanent teeth. Patients are able to eat, speak, and laugh with confidence from the moment their final restoration is placed.
Who Is a Candidate for All-on-6?
Not every patient is the same, and candidacy for All-on-6 is determined through a thorough evaluation of your oral and overall health. Ideal candidates typically share several key characteristics. Most patients who do well with this procedure have experienced significant tooth loss or are dealing with failing teeth that cannot be saved with conventional restorative options.Â
Â
They may also have a moderate degree of bone loss that makes a four-implant approach less stable, though sufficient bone volume still needs to be present to support six implants. Good systemic health, including controlled blood sugar and non-smoking status, contributes to better outcomes. Patients who are committed to maintaining their restored smile with proper hygiene and routine visits are also well-positioned for long-term success.
A comprehensive consultation, including digital imaging and a full review of your health history, allows us to determine whether All-on-6 is the right path or whether another approach, such as our dental implants options, may better suit your individual needs.
