Full-Arch Implant Solutions
All-on-6 Dental Implants
A secure, modern solution to replace an entire upper or lower arch with strength and stability.
All-on-6 dental implants restore a full row of teeth using six strategically placed implants to support a fixed bridge. This advanced approach provides a natural look, strong bite function, and long-lasting stability—often with fewer procedures than replacing each tooth individually.
Your First Choice for Cosmetic Dentistry
What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-6 dental implants are a full-arch restoration solution designed to replace all teeth on the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Instead of placing one implant for every missing tooth, six dental implants are inserted into the jawbone to support a custom-made bridge of teeth. Over time, these implants integrate with the bone, creating a stable and durable foundation.
This solution is ideal for patients experiencing extensive tooth loss, failing teeth, or weakened dental structure who want a fixed, non-removable alternative to traditional dentures.
Why Choose All-on-6?
If you have multiple missing or damaged teeth, All-on-6 offers a streamlined and technologically advanced way to rebuild your smile. The procedure is carefully planned using advanced imaging and digital impressions to ensure precision and long-term success.

Medical & Functional Advantages
Compared to placing multiple individual implants, All-on-6 can simplify treatment when many teeth need replacement. Because six implants support an entire arch, the overall procedure may be more efficient while still delivering strong structural support. In many cases, patients can receive a temporary fixed arch immediately after implant placement, allowing for early function during healing.
The implants are positioned to maximize bone contact, helping promote stability and long-term durability as healing progresses.
What Does the Procedure Involve?
Treatment begins with a comprehensive examination, including digital imaging and 3D scans to evaluate bone structure and plan implant placement. If extractions are needed, they are typically completed during the same surgical appointment.
Six implants are strategically placed in the jaw—generally four toward the front and two toward the back for enhanced support. A temporary arch is often attached the same day to assist with healing and function. After a healing period, your final custom restoration is placed, completing your smile transformation.
Aftercare & Maintenance
All-on-6 dental implants should be cared for like natural teeth. Daily brushing, flossing, and routine professional checkups are essential to maintain gum health and protect the longevity of your implants.
At Southland Dental Care, we carefully design each full-arch restoration to provide strength, comfort, and natural esthetics—helping you smile confidently again.
All-on-6 Dental Implants FAQ
- What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
- Both options replace a full arch of teeth. All-on-6 uses six implants instead of four, which may provide additional structural support depending on bone quality and bite forces.
- Are All-on-6 implants permanent?
- They are designed as a long-term, fixed solution. With proper care and regular dental visits, they can provide many years of reliable function.
- Will I receive teeth the same day?
- In many cases, a temporary fixed arch can be placed on the same day as implant surgery, allowing you to leave with functional teeth while healing occurs.
- Is the procedure painful?
- Local anesthesia or sedation options are used to maintain comfort during the procedure. Most patients report manageable soreness afterward.
- How long does the surgery take?
- The procedure length depends on whether one or both arches are treated and if extractions are needed. Your treatment plan will outline the expected timeline.
- Do I need bone grafting?
- Strategic implant placement often reduces the need for bone grafting, though individual cases vary based on bone density and structure.
- How do I clean All-on-6 implants?
- Daily brushing and flossing are essential. Special cleaning tools may be recommended to maintain gum health around the restoration.
- Am I a candidate for All-on-6?
- Ideal candidates have multiple missing or failing teeth and sufficient bone support. A comprehensive evaluation determines if this solution is right for you.
