All-On-6 Dental Implants
All-on-6 dental implants are a restorative dental solution designed for individuals who need a complete arch of teeth replaced, utilizing six strategically placed implants for enhanced support. This technique offers improved stability compared to All-on-4 implants, particularly for patients with lower jawbone density, as it distributes the bite forces more evenly across the implants. The procedure typically involves the placement of the implants during a single visit, followed by the attachment of a fixed prosthesis, allowing patients to leave with a functional set of teeth the same day. All-on-6 implants not only restore aesthetics and function but also help maintain jawbone health by preventing bone loss.
Why Choose All-On-6 Dental Implants?
Here are four reasons to choose all-on-6 dental implants:
The use of six implants provides enhanced stability and support for the prosthetic teeth, making them less likely to shift or become loose compared to fewer implants.
All-on-6 implants distribute bite forces more evenly across the jaw, reducing stress on individual implants and minimizing the risk of complications.
By providing adequate support and stimulation to the jawbone, All-on-6 implants help maintain bone density and prevent the bone loss that often follows tooth extraction.
All-on-6 implants can be tailored to meet individual patient needs, allowing for custom prosthetics that closely match the appearance and function of natural teeth, enhancing overall satisfaction.
How Do All-On-6 Dental Implants Work?
Consultation and Planning
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation, including imaging studies to assess the jawbone's condition. The dentist creates a personalized treatment plan, determining the ideal placement of the six implants.
Implant Placement
During the surgical procedure, six dental implants are strategically placed into the jawbone. Local anesthesia or sedation is administered to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the process.
Temporary Prosthesis Attachment
After the implants are placed, a temporary prosthesis is attached, allowing patients to have a functional set of teeth while the implants heal and integrate with the bone.
Final Prosthesis Fitting
Following a healing period of a few months, during which the implants bond with the jawbone, the temporary prosthesis is replaced with a permanent custom-made prosthetic arch, restoring the patient's smile and function. Regular follow-up appointments ensure the proper fit and function of the implants.

FAQs
The All-on-6 procedure typically takes one day for implant placement and the attachment of a temporary prosthesis. The final prosthetic arch is fitted after the healing period, which usually lasts a few months.
Recovery can vary, but most patients experience mild discomfort for a few days. Many individuals can resume normal activities within a week, while full healing may take several months as the implants integrate with the jawbone.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, so patients should not feel pain during the surgery. Any post-operative discomfort is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medications.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, All-on-6 implants can last 10 to 15 years or more, making them a durable and effective solution for restoring a full arch of teeth.
