What is the main difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

All-on-4 uses four implants per arch and suits patients with reduced bone density, while All-on-6 uses six implants for extra load distribution and long-term stability.

How long does All-on-4 or All-on-6 treatment take?

Implants are placed and a temporary fixed bridge is fitted on day one; after a 3-6 month healing period, the permanent bridge is fitted on a final visit.

What Do All-on-4 and All-on-6 Mean?

Both All-on-4 and All-on-6 are full-arch dental implant solutions that replace an entire row of missing or failing teeth using a fixed bridge supported by either 4 or 6 titanium implants. Both are placed and loaded with a temporary bridge in a single visit, so you don't leave without teeth.

Prices in this article are approximate ranges based on typical case complexity and are provided for general guidance only. Your exact cost depends on the number of teeth treated, material choice and any preparatory work needed — you will receive a written, itemised quote after a free consultation.

Which One Is Right for You?

All-on-4 is often recommended when bone density has reduced after years of missing teeth, since the implants are angled to use the strongest available bone without needing a bone graft. All-on-6 distributes chewing force across more implants, which some dentists prefer for patients with strong bite forces or when maximum long-term stability is the priority.

The right choice depends on a 3D scan of your jawbone — this is assessed for free during your consultation before any commitment.

Procedure and Recovery Timeline

Day 1: 3D scan, implant placement, temporary fixed bridge fitted the same day
3–6 months: healing period while implants integrate with the jawbone (you return home with functional temporary teeth)
Final visit: temporary bridge replaced with your permanent, custom-made bridge

All-on-4 vs All-on-6 FAQ

Can I switch from All-on-4 to All-on-6 later?
In some cases additional implants can be added later, but this is assessed individually — it's best to plan the right option from the start based on your bone scan.

Do both options use a fixed or removable bridge?
Both All-on-4 and All-on-6, as offered at Moon Smile Clinic, use a fixed bridge that is not removed by the patient, unlike a denture.
