What to know
All-On-4 & 6 Dental Implants, explained.
What it is, how it works and how it helps, in plain words.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 replace a full arch of upper or lower teeth with a fixed bridge supported by four or six dental implants. They're an option for people missing most or all of their teeth, or whose remaining teeth can't be saved.
After 3D imaging and planning, the implants are placed in the jaw, with the back implants often angled to make the most of the available bone. Depending on your case, you'll wear a temporary set of teeth while the implants heal and fuse with the bone, and then your final bridge is made and secured.
Unlike removable dentures, the bridge is fixed in place, so there's no slipping, no adhesive, and nothing covering the roof of your mouth. Patients can typically eat a wider range of foods, and the implants help preserve the jawbone that supports the face.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Common questions about all-on-4 & 6 dental implants.
Both replace a full arch with a fixed bridge. Six implants spread chewing forces across more support points, which may be recommended depending on your bone, your bite, and which jaw is being treated.
Often, yes. Angling the back implants lets them use the denser bone toward the front of the jaw, which can reduce or avoid the need for bone grafting in many patients, and a 3D scan will show what's possible in your case.
The bridge is fixed to the implants and can only be removed by your dentist, typically during maintenance visits for a thorough cleaning. At home, you'll clean around it with a water flosser, special floss, and a toothbrush.
