All on 6 dental implants: The Comprehensive Solution
Are you looking for a transformative solution to restore your smile? All on 6 dental implants offer a revolutionary approach for patients who have lost many teeth in one or both jaws. This innovative procedure involves securing a full arch of prosthetic teeth using just six strategically placed implants, providing a strong foundation that mimics the look and feel of natural teeth. In this article, we will explore the benefits, process, and maintenance of All on 6 dental implants, helping you make an informed decision for your dental health.
What are Hybrid All On 6 Dental Implants?
All on 6 dental implants are a treatment option for replacing an entire arch of teeth using six strategically placed dental implants. This hybrid prosthesis restores the whole of the upper or lower teeth, providing patients with permanent and natural-looking dental restorations.

All on 6 dental implants are used to replace missing teeth or partially missing teeth throughout the entire jaw. This restoration is also considered a solution to eliminating a single implant for each missing tooth, helping to shorten surgery time and the healing process.
Another further point to make is that 6 abutment implants stimulate jawbone dentistry to prevent jawbone loss over time. It acts as an anchor for a bridge or overdenture, positioned in the lower or upper jawbone to anchor prosthetic teeth in place permanently. Over time, implants placed in the jawbone will integrate with the jawbone, representing natural tooth roots and providing a natural smile.

All On 6 Dental Implants Procedure
The standard procedure for performing all on 6 implant dental is as follows:
Initial Consultation and Examination
Like all dental treatments, the all-on-6 dental implant workflow begins with proper patient assessment. The dentist will discuss and perform an oral health examination to assess your suitability for all on 6 dental implants. Then, they will then discuss your dental history, any concerns you may have, and your treatment goals.
What is the procedure for an all-on-6 dental implant?
Implant Surgery
During the treatment session, the dentist will administer anesthesia and place 6 implants into the jawbone at predetermined locations, serving as the “roots” for the new teeth. After the implants are placed, the patient will need 3 to 6 months for the jawbone to heal and integrate with the implants. During this waiting period, the dentist may provide a temporary bridge at the clinic so the patient can eat and communicate normally.
Diagnostic Imaging and 3D Scanning
The dentist takes impressions using traditional impression techniques or digital methods to create physical or digital dental models to send to the laboratory.

All-on-6 Dental Implants Fabrication
The lab will use the impressions provided by the dentist to create hybrid implant dentures. This process can take 1 to 2 weeks and includes design, fabrication, and testing. As mentioned earlier, the All on 6 dental implants require high aesthetics and good functionality, so we pay close attention to designing the shape, color, translucency, and overall function of the denture to create a natural tooth-like feel. It also preserves facial structure and bone density.
Next, the bite alignment check is also an important step that is specially monitored. Proper bite alignment will help achieve optimal aesthetic and functional results, thus improving oral health and boosting confidence.
Final Restoration
The completed full-arch bridge is sent to the dentist, who will then remove the temporary dentures, clean the area, and attach the All on 6 to the patient’s jaw. During this process, the dentist will check the bite, fit, chewing ability, and speech, ensuring that the appearance closely resembles natural teeth.
