All on Six, is like All on 4, except that it uses an additional two implants when there is not enough bone to stabilise your final prosthetic.
Understanding All-on-6
All-on-4 is the standard treatment, using four implants anchored into the jaw to hold a dental bridge. Whereas All on 6 differs by the number of implants placed in the jaw for extra security.
All-on-6 rehabilitates an entire upper or lower jaw of missing teeth using six implants and a bridge. Using titanium implants that easily integrate into the jaw, the procedure allows for replacing 10-12 teeth per arch.
Improved advantages of All-on-6 include:
- Provides immediate results with temporary-loaded teeth after surgery
- Restores biting and chewing capabilities through the use of a non-removable, fixed bridge lasting over 20 years
- Short three-month recovery period with patients never experiencing sore spots or denture slippage again
- Work just like natural teeth – and patients can eat whatever they like
- Creates more balanced strength in the jaw compared to All on 4
- Simpler and faster than the conventional dental implant procedure
Is All-on-six right for you?
Everyone is a great candidate for All on Six, which cannot be said for conventional dental implants. All-on-6 is specifically targeted at patients who need a whole arch of teeth replaced and are looking for a fixed, permanent alternative to regular dentures.
As All on Six is stronger, providing extra strength in the jaw, they are better for patients who lead particularly active lifestyles and want to experience better eating and chewing.
All on 4 vs All on 6
- Two extra implants for strength and stability
- Pressure is more evenly distributed when biting down

All on 6 procedure
Every dental implant appointment begins with a consultation. Even though the procedure does not require an abundance of bone, we will still need to check the density with scans and the overall health of your gums. During the consultation, we will also explain the procedure in full to you, and introduce you to alternative procedures like All on 4, so you can make an informed decision at the end of your appointment.
If you’re ready to go ahead, we will schedule your surgery, which will typically take 3-4 hours per jaw. Patients can opt for local anaesthesia, general anaesthesia and dental sedation if they’re particularly nervous. On top of this, patients can have both jaws done in one day – in some cases, we might fit four implants in the lower jaw and six implants in the upper jaw. All are available on the same day.
Six screws will be fitted into your jawbone. Once in place, we will fit you with an overdenture, which is a temporary restoration made of resin – this will differ from your final restoration, which is custom-made, lighter and better fitting. The final restoration can be fitted typically three to six months post-surgery, once a specific amount of healing has taken place.
