6 Implant Supports
Six implants are strategically positioned when clinical conditions support this design.
Full-arch implant rehabilitation
All-on-6 Dental Implants
For selected patients, six strategically positioned implants can provide additional support for a complete fixed dental arch. The right number depends on bone, anatomy, bite and restorative planning.
The right foundation
Your Case. Your Anatomy. Your Treatment Plan.
The goal is not to place more implants. It is to create the appropriate foundation for your new teeth after diagnosis and restorative planning.
Understand the solution
How All-on-6 Supports a Full Arch
Six supports may be considered when anatomy and the restorative plan benefit from additional implant distribution.
Distributed Support
Additional distribution may benefit the planned prosthetic foundation in selected cases.
1 Fixed Full Arch
A complete restoration is connected to the implant foundation and is not removed by the patient.
Candidate considerations
All-on-6 May Be Considered When…
The decision follows three-dimensional evaluation and restorative planning.
Most Teeth Are Missing
A complete arch requires rehabilitation.
Teeth Are Failing
Multiple teeth have a poor prognosis after clinical evaluation.
Dentures Are Unsatisfactory
You want to explore a fixed implant-supported alternative.
A Fixed Solution Is Desired
Your goals include a full-arch restoration not removed by the patient.
Anatomy Allows Six Supports
Available bone and anatomical structures permit an appropriate distribution.
The Plan Benefits From Distribution
The restorative design may benefit from six implant supports.
Six implants are not automatically better than four; the diagnosis determines the foundation.

Which Is Better: All-on-4 or All-on-6?
Neither is automatically better. Bone quality, anatomy, bite forces and prosthetic design shape the recommendation.
| Feature | All-on-4 | All-on-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Implant supports | Four | Six |
| Anatomy | May be considered when four implants provide appropriate support | May be considered when anatomy allows six supports |
| Distribution | Strategic four-implant distribution | Additional implant distribution |
| Decision basis | CBCT, bite and prosthetic plan | CBCT, bite and prosthetic plan |
The goal is not to place more implants. The goal is to create the right foundation for your new teeth.
Treatment process
Your Journey to Fixed Teeth
Actual stages and visit timing are individualized after evaluation.
- 01
Virtual Consultation
Send photographs, X-rays or an existing CBCT scan for preliminary review.
- 02
3D CBCT Evaluation
Bone, anatomy and existing teeth are evaluated in three dimensions.
- 03
Personalized Plan
Review appropriate options, proposed stages and an individualized estimate.
- 04
Implant Surgery
Implants are placed according to the surgical and restorative plan.
- 05
Provisional Fixed Teeth
When conditions allow immediate loading, a provisional fixed restoration may be delivered.
- 06
Healing and Integration
The implants are allowed to integrate with bone and are clinically monitored.
- 07
Final Restoration
After healing and evaluation, the definitive restoration can be fabricated.

Common questions
All-on-6 Questions
These answers support preparation and do not replace an individual examination.
Am I a candidate for All-on-6?
Candidacy depends on oral health, anatomy, bite, medical history and restorative needs.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
They use different numbers and distributions of implants. The appropriate approach depends on diagnosis and prosthetic planning.
What if I have severe bone loss?
Imaging helps determine whether conventional or advanced implant options may be considered.
Can I receive fixed teeth immediately?
A provisional fixed restoration may be possible when clinical conditions allow immediate loading; it cannot be guaranteed beforehand.
How many trips will I need?
The number and length of visits depend on treatment stages, healing and the definitive restorative plan.
What is the difference between provisional and final teeth?
A provisional supports the initial phase. The definitive restoration follows healing and clinical evaluation.
Why is CBCT necessary?
CBCT can show three-dimensional anatomy relevant to implant positioning and surgical planning.
How much does All-on-6 cost?
Cost depends on anatomy, extractions, surgical requirements and prosthetic design. A personalized estimate follows case review.
