Think of a bridge supported by more pillars to carry heavier traffic. That’s the idea behind All-on-6 implants. With six implants supporting a full-arch bridge, chewing forces spread out, redundancy increases, and long-term comfort can improve—especially in heavy bites or when bone varies from place to place. The result is a confident, fixed smile designed for everyday life.
The difference is simple: All-on-6 implants add two more anchor points compared with a classic four-implant concept. With more support, the bridge can distribute load more evenly. For patients who clench, enjoy tougher foods, or want even more stability, this plan makes practical sense.
Imaging and Design: We take 3D scans to map bone thickness, sinus areas, and nerve paths. We plan implant positions that respect those boundaries and support your smile line and speech.
Implant Placement: Six implants are placed with careful angulation. Many patients receive a same-day fixed provisional bridge. You leave with teeth.
Healing and Checks: Implants integrate over weeks to months. You follow a soft-food plan at first. We check your bite and make small adjustments to keep things comfortable.
Final Bridge: Your final bridge is precision-milled or layered for a lifelike result. The contours help you clean. The bite handles real life.
All-on-6 implants feel stable and predictable. There is no palate coverage. There is no rocking. You brush, you water-floss, and you go about your day. Most patients say they quickly forget they’re wearing a bridge at all—that’s the goal.
All three are excellent. All-on-4 is efficient. All-on-5 adds support. All-on-6 goes further for load sharing and redundancy. The “best” choice depends on your scans, bite, and goals. Your plan is tailored—not forced into a one-size template.
Final bridges may use zirconia or layered ceramics. Shades and textures are dialed in to suit your features. We test speech sounds to make sure words like “s,” “f,” and “v” feel easy. The aim is beauty without drama: natural teeth that match your face.
In implant dentistry education, All-on-6 implants are discussed for:
These advantages line up with what patients report after they settle into their new routine.
Does six mean a longer recovery? Not necessarily. Comfort depends more on technique and your personal healing.
Will I have a gap while healing? In many protocols, you’ll wear a fixed provisional bridge the same day.
How long does it last? With good home care and routine maintenance, implants can last for decades. Bridges are serviceable if they chip or wear.
If you want maximum support in a fixed full-arch smile, All-on-6 implants bring reassuring strength and everyday ease. Eat the foods you love. Speak with confidence. Smile without thinking twice.
