If you are researching full mouth implants, you have probably come across both All-on-4 and All-on-6, and wondered which one is right for you. The honest answer is that both work very well. The difference is mainly about support.
All-on-6 places six implants in the jaw instead of four. Those two extra implants share the chewing load, so each implant carries less pressure. For people with good bone, a strong bite, or a habit of grinding their teeth, that extra support can mean a stronger and longer-lasting result.
At Designer Smiles in Vile Parle East, Dr. Kavita Bhat Kumar looks at your bone, bite, and budget together, and explains clearly whether All-on-6 gives you a real advantage over All-on-4 in your case. If it does not, you will be told that too.
01 / Overview
What are All-on-6 dental implants?
All-on-6 is a full mouth implant treatment where a complete arch of fixed teeth, upper or lower, is attached to six dental implants placed in the jawbone. The teeth are made as one fixed bridge that is screwed onto the implants. You cannot remove it at home, and it feels and works much like natural teeth.
Because there are six implants spread across the jaw, the biting force is shared more evenly. This gives the bridge more stability, reduces stress on each implant, and gives an extra safety margin over the long term. If one implant ever has a problem, the other five can often still support the teeth while it is managed.
All-on-6 usually needs more bone than All-on-4, as the implants are spread further back in the jaw. In some cases, a bone graft or sinus lift may be planned to make room for them.
It can be done on the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both.
02 / Signs
Who is All-on-6 suitable for?
All-on-6 may be the better choice for you if some of these apply. A consultation with digital imaging will confirm it.
- You have lost most or all of your teeth in one or both jaws, or your remaining teeth cannot be saved.
- You have good bone volume across the jaw, or are willing to have bone grafting if needed.
- You have a strong bite, or you clench or grind your teeth.
- You want the maximum support and stability for your new teeth.
- You want a zirconia full arch bridge, which benefits from extra implant support.
- You have a larger jaw, where six implants spread the load better than four.
- You are tired of a loose denture and want fixed teeth for the long term.
If your bone is limited and you want to avoid grafting, All-on-4 may be the simpler choice.
03 / Benefits
Benefits of All-on-6 dental implants at Designer Smiles.
- 01Extra support and stability. Six implants share the chewing load, so each one carries less pressure.
- 02Stronger bite. A good option for people who chew hard foods or have a strong bite.
- 03Built-in safety margin. With six implants, the teeth have backup support if any one implant needs attention later.
- 04Fixed teeth, not a denture. No slipping, no adhesive, no taking your teeth out at night.
- 05Suits stronger bridge materials. Six implants are well suited to a full zirconia bridge, which is strong and looks very natural.
- 06Better bone support. More implants spread across the jaw help keep more of the jawbone active and healthy.
- 07Natural look and fuller face. Your new teeth support your lips and cheeks, reducing the sunken look of long-term tooth loss.
05 / Your Visit
What your All-on-6 surgery day actually feels like.
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so the area is completely numb. You will feel pressure, but not pain. Every step is explained to you before it happens, and you can ask the team to pause whenever you need to. If you feel very anxious about a longer procedure, mention it at your consultation, and comfort options will be discussed.
You are treated in a private operatory with relaxing music, not a crowded open floor. After the surgery, you get the same comfort ritual every Designer Smiles patient remembers: a warm towel, a gentle neck and face massage, and time to relax before heading home.
06 / Recovery
Recovery and aftercare after All-on-6.
Swelling and some soreness for 3 to 5 days is normal after full arch implant surgery, and a little longer if bone grafting was done. It is managed with the medicines and instructions you are given. Most people return to light work within a few days.
While your implants heal:
- Eat soft foods like khichdi, dal rice, idli, upma, curd, and soups for the first 6 to 8 weeks.
- Avoid hard or chewy foods like nuts, chikki, bones, and hard rotis.
- Rinse gently with the mouthwash you are given and keep the gums clean.
- Avoid smoking completely during healing.
- Do not skip your review visits.
Once your final teeth are fixed, clean under the bridge every day with a water flosser or special brushes, and come for professional check-ups every six months. If you grind your teeth, a night guard may be advised to protect your new bridge.
04 / Our Process
How All-on-6 treatment works at Designer Smiles.
- Step 01
Consultation and Digital Imaging
Dr. Kavita examines your gums, bite, and facial profile, and uses digital imaging to measure the bone across the whole jaw. This decides whether six implants can be placed and whether any grafting is needed.
- Step 02
Treatment Planning
The six implant positions are planned to spread the load evenly. The shape, size, and shade of your new teeth are also planned to suit your face. You get a full timeline and a written cost before treatment begins.
- Step 03
Preparing the Mouth
Any remaining failing teeth are removed, and any gum treatment or bone grafting is done if your plan needs it.
- Step 04
Placing the Six Implants
Under local anaesthesia, six implants are placed across the jaw. The surgery is carefully planned to be precise and as gentle as possible.
- Step 05
Temporary Teeth
If the implants are firm and no major grafting was done, fixed temporary teeth can often be attached within a few days. In other cases, a temporary denture is given while the implants heal, so you are never without teeth.
- Step 06
Healing Period
Over about 4 to 6 months, the implants bond with the jawbone. You follow a soft diet at first and come for short review visits.
- Step 07
Final Fixed Teeth
Your final full arch bridge is made and screwed onto the six implants. Your bite is checked and adjusted so chewing feels natural and comfortable.
- Step 08
Aftercare and Recall
You get clear cleaning instructions and a recall schedule. During some check-ups, the bridge is removed by the dentist, cleaned professionally, and fixed back.
