All-on-6 is a full-arch approach in which six implants support a fixed restoration. It may be considered when the available bone and overall treatment design allow an appropriate distribution of support. The number of implants is only one part of the decision. Your remaining teeth, bite, cleaning needs and expectations all help shape a plan that is appropriate for you.
The appropriate implant number is a clinical decision made after a complete assessment.
What this treatment can offer
- Full-arch treatment planned as one connected restoration
- Implant positions tailored to the available anatomy
- Personalised attention to tooth shape and bite
What to expect
Assess the foundations
Clinical examination and imaging evaluate the bone and existing teeth. The team discusses fixed and removable alternatives before recommending an approach.
Create a staged plan
Surgical and restorative appointments are coordinated. Any grafting, temporary teeth and healing periods are explained before treatment begins.
Complete and review
The final arch is checked for fit, speech and bite. You receive guidance on daily cleaning and a schedule for maintenance visits.
Comparing All-on-6 options and costs
Six implants are not automatically the right choice for every arch. Your assessment considers the available bone and planned restoration before comparing costs. A written plan should explain implant positions, provisional and final teeth, appointment stages and maintenance requirements.
Your questions, answered
Are six implants always necessary?
No. Some patients need fewer, more or a different restoration. The recommendation follows the anatomy and prosthetic needs rather than a preset package.
Can I have both arches treated?
Both arches can be assessed together, but the sequence and implant plan may differ between the upper and lower jaw.
Will the final teeth look natural?
Shape, shade and tooth arrangement are discussed during planning and fitting. The aim is a balanced appearance suited to your facial features.
