Connect With the Right Full-Arch Implant Specialist
All on 6 Dental Implants
Living with missing teeth, loose dentures, or failing dental work can affect far more than your appearance. Everyday activities like eating, speaking, and smiling can become uncomfortable, while long-term tooth loss may also impact jawbone health and overall confidence.
For many patients looking for a fixed full-arch solution, all on 6 dental implants offer an advanced treatment option designed to provide excellent stability and long-term function. Instead of replacing every missing tooth individually, this approach uses six strategically positioned dental implants to support a complete arch of replacement teeth.
At Open Implant Chair, we don’t perform implant procedures ourselves. We help patients connect with OIC-certified implant providers who can assess their oral health, explain available treatment options, and determine whether all on six dental implants are suitable for their individual needs.
Our consultation-first approach makes it easier to compare treatment options, receive transparent pricing, and find an experienced implant provider based on your location, treatment goals, budget, and personal preferences.

What Are All on 6 Dental Implants?
All on 6 dental implants are a full-arch tooth replacement solution that uses six dental implants to support a fixed prosthetic arch. Rather than placing an implant for every missing tooth, six implants are carefully positioned throughout the jaw to create a stable foundation for an entire upper or lower arch of replacement teeth.
This treatment is commonly recommended for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth or who have multiple failing teeth that require comprehensive restoration.
Because the restoration is fixed securely to the implants, patients do not remove it for everyday use like traditional dentures. The result is a restoration designed to provide stability, functionality, and a natural appearance.
However, not every patient requires six implants. During your consultation, your matched provider will determine whether dental implants all on 6, All-on-4, or another implant-supported solution is the most appropriate option for your smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants All on 6
Excellent Arch Stability
Six implants distribute biting forces across more support points, creating a secure foundation for the full-arch restoration.
Fixed Teeth
Unlike removable dentures, implant-supported restorations remain securely attached, eliminating the need for adhesives or daily removal.
Natural Smile Appearance
Each restoration is custom-designed to complement your facial features, bite, and smile.
Comfortable Everyday Function
Many patients appreciate improved comfort while speaking, eating, and smiling compared to traditional removable dentures.
Why Some Patients Choose Six Implants Instead of Four?
Every patient’s smile is different, which means every treatment plan should be personalized.
While All-on-4 and All-on-6 both restore an entire dental arch, the difference lies in the number of implants supporting the final restoration.
Some providers may recommend six implants because they offer additional support across the jaw, particularly for patients with favourable bone quality or those who generate stronger biting forces.
Your provider may recommend all on six dental implants when additional implant support is expected to provide long-term benefits based on your individual anatomy and treatment goals.
The decision is never based on a standard formula – it is made following a detailed examination using advanced diagnostic imaging.
Who May Be a Candidate?
Not everyone requires six implants to restore a full arch, and not every patient qualifies for immediate treatment. The best way to determine eligibility is through a professional consultation with an experienced implant provider.
During your appointment, your provider may assess:
Bone Quality
Healthy jawbone support helps determine the most appropriate implant approach.
Number of Missing Teeth
Patients missing most or all of their teeth are often evaluated for full-arch treatment options.
Existing Dental Health
Remaining teeth, gum health, and previous dental work all influence treatment planning.
Medical History
General health, medications, and lifestyle factors may affect implant recommendations.
Personal Treatment Goals
Every treatment plan considers the patient's expectations, budget, timeline, and desired outcome.

Your All on 6 Dental Implants Treatment Journey
Every smile is unique, so every treatment plan is personalized. While individual recommendations vary, most patients can expect the following journey.
Step 1 – Comprehensive Consultation
Your provider begins by reviewing your dental history, oral health, medical background, and treatment goals. Advanced 3D imaging may also be used to evaluate bone quality and determine whether all on 6 dental implants are the most appropriate treatment option.
Step 2 – Digital Treatment Planning
Using advanced planning software, your provider carefully maps implant placement before surgery begins. This digital approach helps optimize implant positioning while creating a treatment plan designed specifically for your smile.
Step 3 – Implant Placement
During the surgical appointment, six dental implants are strategically placed within the jaw according to your personalized treatment plan. The procedure is carefully planned to maximize support for your future restoration while promoting long-term stability.
Step 4 – Temporary Restoration
If your provider determines you’re a suitable candidate, temporary fixed replacement teeth are attached shortly after implant placement. This allows many patients to leave the appointment with improved appearance, function, and confidence while the implants continue to heal naturally.
Step 5 – Healing and Implant Integration
Over the following months, the implants gradually bond with the surrounding jawbone through a natural healing process called osseointegration. During this period, your provider will monitor healing and provide guidance on oral hygiene, dietary recommendations, and follow-up care to help support successful long-term outcomes.
Step 6 – Your Permanent Full-Arch Restoration
Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, your provider will replace the temporary restoration with your custom-designed permanent teeth.
Every permanent restoration is created to complement your facial structure, bite, and smile while providing long-term strength and durability. Depending on your treatment plan, your provider may recommend high-quality materials designed to deliver a natural appearance and everyday functionality.
At this stage, you’ll also receive guidance on maintaining your implant-supported smile through good oral hygiene, routine dental visits, and regular professional maintenance.
Understanding All on 6 Dental Implants Cost
One of the first questions patients ask is about all on 6 dental implants cost. While it’s natural to compare prices online, every treatment plan is different, making it impossible to provide one standard figure that applies to everyone.
The overall investment depends on several clinical and personal factors, including the condition of your oral health, the number of arches being restored, the materials selected for your final restoration, and whether any preparatory procedures are required.
Instead of relying on generic estimates, Open Implant Chair connects you with an OIC-certified provider who can perform a comprehensive assessment and provide transparent pricing based on your individual treatment needs.
Your consultation gives you the opportunity to understand exactly what is recommended before making any commitment.
What Can Influence Your Treatment Cost?
- Number of Dental Arches: Some patients require restoration of only the upper or lower arch, while others may benefit from treatment for both arches.
- Jawbone Condition: Bone quality plays an important role in treatment planning. Some patients may require additional procedures before implants can be placed.
- Complexity of the Case: Existing dental conditions, previous restorations, and overall oral health can all affect treatment complexity.
- Restoration Materials: Your provider will recommend restoration materials that balance durability, aesthetics, and long-term performance.
- Digital Planning and Technology: Advanced diagnostic imaging and digital treatment planning contribute to accurate implant placement and personalized treatment.
All on 6 Dental Implants vs All-on-4
Many patients compare these two popular full-arch solutions before attending their consultation.
Although both approaches replace an entire arch of missing teeth, they differ primarily in the number of implants used to support the final restoration.
| Feature | All on 4 | All on 6 Dental Implants |
|---|---|---|
| Implants Supporting Each Arch | 4 | 6 |
| Full-Arch Restoration | ✔ | ✔ |
| Fixed Replacement Teeth | ✔ | ✔ |
| Personalized Treatment Planning | ✔ | ✔ |
| Suitability Determined by Consultation | ✔ | ✔ |
Neither solution is automatically better than the other.
Some patients achieve excellent results with four implants, while others may benefit from the additional support provided by six implants. The right recommendation depends on bone quality, bite forces, anatomy, and long-term treatment goals.
Why Professional Assessment Is So Important
Choosing between different implant treatments should never be based solely on online information or advertised pricing.
A comprehensive consultation allows your provider to evaluate factors that cannot be assessed without diagnostic imaging and a clinical examination. During your consultation, your provider will assess:
- Existing oral health
- Bone density
- Medical history
- Gum condition
- Bite alignment
- Long-term treatment objectives
Only after completing this assessment can they determine whether dental implants all on 6 represent the most appropriate treatment option for your smile.
