What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-6 dental implants are a full-arch tooth replacement solution designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. The treatment uses six strategically placed dental implants to support a fixed bridge that replaces an entire upper or lower arch of teeth.
Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-6 restorations are securely attached to dental implants, providing greater stability, comfort, and function. The implants act as artificial tooth roots, helping support the restoration while also preserving the jawbone.
For many patients, All-on-6 offers a long-lasting solution that looks, feels, and functions much like natural teeth.

How Does All-on-6 Differ from All-on-4?
Both All-on-4 and All-on-6 are full-arch dental implant solutions, but they differ in the number of implants used to support the restoration.
All-on-4 uses four implants to support a full arch of teeth, while All-on-6 uses six implants. The additional implants can provide increased support and may distribute biting forces across a larger area of the jaw.
The ideal treatment depends on factors such as bone availability, bite forces, oral health, and overall treatment goals. During your consultation, Dr. Alan Martinez will determine which option is best suited for your situation.
While both treatments are designed to restore a full arch of teeth, All-on-6 may offer additional support for patients who have adequate bone volume and strong bite forces. The two additional implants can help distribute chewing pressure more evenly across the jaw, which may reduce stress on individual implants and provide enhanced stability for the restoration. However, more implants do not automatically mean a better solution. In some cases, All-on-4 may be the more appropriate treatment based on bone anatomy, treatment goals, and overall oral health.
Patients choosing All-on-6 treatment may select either an acrylic or zirconia full-arch restoration depending on their goals and budget
For All-on-6 cases, guided dental implant surgery may be recommended to help plan implant angle, depth, and position with greater precision.
Benefits of All-on-6 Dental Implants
All-on-6 dental implants offer numerous advantages compared to traditional dentures and other tooth replacement options.
Benefits include:
- Fixed, non-removable teeth
- Improved chewing ability
- Enhanced stability and support
- Natural-looking appearance
- Preservation of jawbone health
- No denture adhesives required
- Improved speech clarity
- Greater confidence when smiling
- Long-term durability
Many patients report that All-on-6 allows them to enjoy foods they had previously avoided due to loose or uncomfortable dentures.
Patients seeking a more stable alternative to removable dentures may also wish to learn about implant-supported dentures, which offer improved retention and comfort.
Some patients exploring advanced implant options, and oral surgery, may also want to learn about zirconia dental implants. If you’re traveling from the United States for dental implants, our Zona Río patient travel guide explains how to reach the clinic, use our border shuttle, and plan your stay.
Who Is a Candidate for All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-6 may be an excellent option for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth or who have failing teeth that require extraction.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Are missing an entire arch of teeth
- Have multiple failing or severely damaged teeth
- Currently wear dentures
- Want a fixed alternative to removable dentures
- Have adequate bone volume to support implants
- Are in good overall health
Even patients with some bone loss may still qualify for treatment after procedures such as bone grafting or a sinus lift.
The most important factor is not the number of implants used, but selecting the treatment that best matches your individual needs. Dr. Alan Martinez uses advanced 3D imaging and treatment planning to evaluate bone quality, implant positioning, and long-term function before recommending either All-on-4 or All-on-6 dental implants. This personalized approach helps ensure the most predictable and successful outcome for each patient.
Patients who are missing several teeth—but not an entire arch—may be better candidates for multiple dental implants rather than a full-arch restoration.

The All-on-6 Treatment Process
The All-on-6 procedure begins with a comprehensive evaluation using advanced digital imaging and 3D treatment planning.
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
A CBCT scan is performed to evaluate bone quality and determine ideal implant placement.
Step 2: Implant Placement
Six dental implants are strategically positioned within the jawbone to support the future restoration.
Step 3: Healing Phase
The implants integrate with the surrounding bone during a process known as osseointegration.
Step 4: Final Restoration
A custom-designed full-arch prosthesis is attached to the implants, creating a strong and natural-looking smile.
Every treatment plan is customized based on the patient’s anatomy, goals, and clinical needs.
As one of several full mouth dental implant solutions, All-on-6 can restore an entire arch of missing teeth with a fixed, natural-looking restoration.
All-on-6 vs Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures rest on the gums and may shift or move during daily activities. Over time, they do not prevent bone loss, which can cause dentures to become loose and uncomfortable.
All-on-6 dental implants provide a stable foundation that is anchored directly to the jawbone. This creates a more secure fit and helps maintain bone volume over time.
Compared to traditional dentures, All-on-6 offers:
- Better chewing efficiency
- Improved comfort
- Greater stability
- Reduced bone loss
- A more natural feel
- Increased confidence
Many patients consider All-on-6 to be a life-changing improvement over removable dentures. The process for full-arch treatment differs somewhat from replacing a single tooth. You can also review our dental implant procedure guide for a closer look at the basic stages of implant placement and healing.
How Much Do All-on-6 Dental Implants Cost in Tijuana?
The cost of All-on-6 dental implants depends on several factors, including the condition of the jawbone, whether extractions or grafting are required, and the type of final prosthesis selected.
Many patients choose Tijuana because they can often save significantly compared to treatment costs in the United States while still receiving high-quality implant care.
During your consultation, Dr. Alan Martinez will provide a detailed treatment plan and explain all available options.
Even patients with some bone loss may still qualify for treatment after bone grafting helps rebuild areas of the jaw that have deteriorated following tooth loss.
For patients missing upper teeth, a sinus lift procedure may be recommended when additional bone height is needed to support dental implants.

Both All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants can replace an entire arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed restoration that is supported by dental implants rather than resting on the gums. The primary difference is the number of implants used. All-on-4 uses four strategically positioned implants, while All-on-6 uses six implants to provide additional support and distribute biting forces across more points in the jaw.
All-on-6 can be an excellent choice for patients who have adequate bone and want the added stability and support of two additional implants. However, more implants are not automatically better for every patient. Bone volume and quality, anatomy, bite forces, and the location of available bone all influence which approach is most appropriate. After evaluating your jaw with 3D imaging, we can determine whether All-on-4 or All-on-6 offers the best combination of stability, function, and long-term predictability for your individual situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-6 Dental Implants
How many implants are used in an All-on-6 restoration?
As the name suggests, All-on-6 treatment uses six dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. These implants are strategically placed within the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for the restoration.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
The primary difference is the number of implants used to support the full-arch prosthesis. All-on-4 uses four implants, while All-on-6 uses six. The additional implants may provide greater support and help distribute chewing forces more evenly across the jaw. The best option depends on your bone structure, oral health, and treatment goals.
Am I a candidate for All-on-6 dental implants?
Many patients who are missing most or all of their teeth may be candidates for All-on-6 treatment. Ideal candidates generally have sufficient bone volume to support six implants and are in good overall health. A CBCT scan and consultation with Dr. Alan Martinez can determine whether All-on-6 is right for you.
Can All-on-6 replace an entire upper and lower arch?
Yes. All-on-6 can be used to restore a full upper arch, a full lower arch, or both arches. Patients who need complete smile restoration may receive treatment on one or both jaws depending on their individual needs.
Are All-on-6 dental implants removable?
No. All-on-6 restorations are fixed to the implants and are not removed daily like traditional dentures. Only your dentist can remove the restoration during maintenance visits if necessary.
Will I be able to eat normally with All-on-6 implants?
One of the biggest advantages of All-on-6 is improved chewing ability. Many patients can enjoy a wider variety of foods than they could with removable dentures. Once healing is complete and the final restoration is placed, most patients experience significantly improved function and comfort.
How long do All-on-6 dental implants last?
With proper care and regular dental checkups, the implants themselves can last for decades. The prosthetic teeth may eventually require maintenance, repair, or replacement over time, but All-on-6 is considered a long-term tooth replacement solution.
Is the All-on-6 procedure painful?
The implant placement procedure is performed using local anesthesia, and sedation options may be available for some patients. Most patients report that the procedure is more comfortable than expected. Mild swelling and soreness are normal during the healing period.
How much do All-on-6 dental implants cost in Tijuana?
The cost varies depending on the complexity of the case, whether extractions or bone grafting are needed, and the type of final restoration selected. Patients often choose Tijuana because they can save significantly compared to similar treatment costs in the United States.
How many trips to Tijuana are required for All-on-6 treatment?
Most patients require at least two visits. The first visit typically includes evaluation, treatment planning, and implant placement. After a healing period, patients return for the final restoration. Treatment timelines may vary depending on individual healing and clinical requirements.
Can I get temporary teeth while my implants heal?
In many cases, temporary teeth may be provided during the healing phase. Dr. Alan Martinez will determine whether immediate provisional teeth are appropriate based on implant stability and your specific treatment plan.
Why choose All-on-6 instead of traditional dentures?
Unlike traditional dentures, All-on-6 implants are fixed in place and help preserve jawbone health. They provide greater stability, improved chewing efficiency, enhanced comfort, and a more natural feel. Many patients find that All-on-6 offers a significant improvement in quality of life compared to removable dentures.
