All on 6 Dental Implants: Full-Arch Restorations

Introduction

All on 6 dental implants are becoming one of the most trusted ways to replace a full set of missing teeth. This method uses six implants to support a fixed full-arch bridge, giving patients a stable, comfortable, and natural-looking smile.

For dentists, the success of an All-on-6 case depends not only on accurate implant placement but also on how well the final restoration is made. That’s why choosing an experienced dental implant lab is so important.

At SF Dental Lab, we focus on high-quality, implant-supported restorations such as All-on-6 and All-on-4 prostheses. Using a fully digital workflow, CAD/CAM technology, and skilled technicians, we create restorations that fit precisely, look natural, and last for years. Our goal is to help dental clinics around the world deliver reliable, esthetic results for every patient.

 

What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?

All-on-6 dental implants are a full-arch restoration method designed to replace all missing teeth in either the upper or lower jaw using six dental implants. These implants act like the roots of natural teeth and support a fixed bridge of replacement teeth.

Compared with removable dentures, All-on-6 restorations feel more natural and stay firmly in place — no slipping or discomfort when speaking or eating. They also provide stronger biting force and help prevent bone loss in the jaw.

The All-on-6 system is similar to the All-on-4 concept but offers two extra implants for better load distribution and long-term stability. This makes it ideal for patients who need extra support due to stronger chewing habits or a larger jaw shape.

In short, All-on-6 implants combine strength, function, and esthetics, allowing patients to regain confidence and live more comfortably with a full set of fixed teeth.

 

How the All-on-6 Treatment Works

The All-on-6 treatment involves teamwork between the dentist, the surgeon, and the dental lab. Each step must be carefully planned to make sure the final result looks natural, fits perfectly, and functions like real teeth.

Here’s how the process usually works:

1. Consultation and Planning
   The dentist examines the patient’s oral condition and bone quality. Using digital scans and X-rays, the implant positions are planned precisely to support the full arch.
2. Implant Placement
   Six implants are placed in the jawbone — four near the front and two slightly angled at the back for maximum stability. After healing, these implants become strong anchors for the new teeth.
3. Temporary Restoration
   While the implants heal, a temporary bridge is placed so the patient can eat and smile normally.
4. Final Restoration by the Dental Lab
   Once healing is complete, the dentist sends digital impressions or scans to the dental implant lab. At SF Dental Lab, our technicians design and mill the final bridge using CAD/CAM systems. Materials can include zirconia, titanium, or hybrid options, depending on the patient’s needs.
5. Delivery and Final Adjustment
   The final bridge is attached to the six implants. The dentist makes final bite and fit adjustments to ensure comfort and function.

This close coordination between the clinic and the dental lab is key to achieving a precise, long-lasting, and esthetic All-on-6 restoration.

 

Advantages of All-on-6 Restorations

All-on-6 dental implants offer many advantages for both patients and dental professionals. This treatment combines long-term stability with natural esthetics — making it one of the most reliable full-arch solutions available today.

1. Strong and Stable Support

With six implants supporting the bridge, the restoration distributes chewing forces more evenly across the jaw. This reduces stress on each implant and improves overall strength, especially for patients with strong bite forces.

2. Natural Look and Feel

All-on-6 restorations are fixed — meaning they don’t move like removable dentures. Patients can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, enjoying a natural and lifelike appearance.

3. Better Bone Preservation

Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that normally happens after tooth loss. With six implants, the bone support is even more balanced and stable.

4. Long-Term Durability

When designed and fabricated correctly, All-on-6 restorations can last for many years. Materials like zirconia or titanium frameworks ensure excellent strength and wear resistance.

5. Improved Quality of Life

Patients regain normal chewing function and clear speech, often reporting a major boost in self-confidence after treatment.

 

All-on-6 vs. All-on-4 – Key Differences

Both All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants are designed to replace a full arch of missing teeth with a fixed bridge supported by implants. However, they are not exactly the same. The main difference lies in the number of implants and the amount of support each method provides.

Here’s a simple comparison:

Feature	All-on-4	All-on-6
Number of implants	4	6
Support & stability	Good	Excellent
Force distribution	Moderate	More balanced
Bone requirement	Works even with limited bone	Requires stronger bone
Long-term durability	High	Higher
Recommended for	Standard edentulous cases	Patients with larger jaws or strong bite forces

 

In short, All-on-4 is a great option when bone volume is limited, while All-on-6 offers extra support and stability when bone conditions allow. For many clinicians, All-on-6 is the preferred choice for long-term reliability and patient comfort.

At SF Dental Lab, we work with both All-on-4 and All-on-6 cases, providing customized designs and precision frameworks that match each treatment plan perfectly.
