What Are All on 6 Dental Implants?
All on 6 dental implants are a modern solution for patients who need full-arch teeth replacement. This technique involves placing six strategically positioned dental implants in the upper or lower jaw to anchor a complete set of prosthetic teeth. The added stability from the six implants makes this treatment ideal for patients with complex dental needs or those seeking a durable alternative to traditional dentures.
Compared to All on 4 implants, All on 6 provides enhanced support and longevity, particularly for those with sufficient jawbone density.
