All On Six
“All-on-6” is a dental implant procedure that, like the All-on-4 technique, is designed to provide a complete set of new, non-removable teeth for individuals who have lost all or most of their natural teeth. The key difference lies in the number of implants used to support the full arch of teeth. Instead of using four implants, the All-on-6 technique involves the placement of six dental implants in each arch—either the upper or lower jaw.
Here are some key features of the All-on-6 dental implant procedure:
1. Six Implants: All-on-6 involves the strategic placement of six dental implants to support a full arch of teeth. This provides additional stability and support compared to the four-implant All-on-4 procedure.
2. Immediate Solution: Similar to All-on-4, the All-on-6 procedure often allows for immediate solution, where a temporary set of teeth can be attached to the implants on the same day as the surgery.
3. Stability and Strength: The use of six implants distributes the biting forces more evenly, potentially providing increased stability and strength to the full arch restoration.
4. Versatility: All-on-6 can be a suitable option for individuals with varying degrees of bone loss. The additional implants can help compensate for reduced bone density.
5. Full Arch Restoration: Like the All-on-4 procedure, All-on-6 aims to restore an entire arch of teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.
6. Fixed Prosthesis: The final restoration is a fixed bridge or prosthesis that is securely attached to the six implants, offering a permanent and non-removable solution.
The All-on-6 procedure is often recommended for individuals who may benefit from the additional support provided by the extra implants, especially in cases where bone density is a concern. As with any dental implant procedure, individual suitability is determined through a thorough examination by a qualified dental professional based on factors such as oral health, bone density, and overall health.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Geeignete Kandidaten für All-on-6 sollten im Allgemeinen in guter Gesundheit sein und über ausreichende Knochendichte im Kiefer verfügen. Eine umfassende Untersuchung durch einen Zahnarzt ist erforderlich, um die individuelle Eignung festzustellen.
The primary difference is the number of implants used. All-on-6 uses six implants per arch, providing additional stability and support compared to the four-implant All-on-4 procedure.
Suitable candidates for All-on-6 should generally be in good overall health and have adequate bone density in the jaw. A comprehensive examination by a dental professional is necessary to determine individual eligibility.
All-on-6 is designed to provide additional support in cases where bone density is a concern. In some instances, bone grafting may still be necessary, and this determination is made during the pre-treatment evaluation.
The duration of the All-on-6 procedure can vary, but it is designed to be an efficient process. Immediate loading of temporary teeth on the same day as the surgery is a characteristic feature.
No, the final restoration in the All-on-6 procedure is a fixed bridge or prosthesis that is securely attached to the six implants. It is not removable and functions much like natural teeth.
With proper care and maintenance, All-on-6 prosthetics can last for many years. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene practices, and avoiding habits that may damage the restoration contribute to its longevity.
