All-on-6 Maximum Stability,
Full Arch.

Six anchor points share chewing force, each implant takes roughly 30 percent less load than in an All-on-4 configuration. Particularly useful for heavy chewers and patients with strong bite forces.

The rear of an All-on-4 bridge cantilevers off the back implant, which can flex under heavy load. With six implants, the cantilevers are shorter or eliminated entirely, giving the bridge more rigidity.

If one implant ever needs replacement decades down the line, the bridge can still be supported by five. With All-on-4, all four are load-bearing. The redundancy matters in younger patients with decades of expected function.

Patients with strong bite forces or grinding habits put substantially more load on the bridge. Six implants distribute that load and reduce per-implant stress, improving long-term outcomes.

Decades of expected function ahead means decades of cumulative load. The redundancy of six implants gives a safety margin if one ever needs replacement.

If your CBCT shows sufficient bone at all six implant sites without major augmentation, the cost-to-stability trade-off favours All-on-6.

The lower jaw typically has dense bone supporting the additional implants. A 6-implant lower bridge with shorter cantilevers performs measurably better under load than a 4-implant equivalent.

Limited bone volume in the upper jaw, sinus pneumatisation requiring multiple lifts to fit six implants, budget-conscious patients prioritising the proven 4-implant protocol.

Common: All-on-6 in the lower jaw (dense bone, long span benefits) plus All-on-4 in the upper jaw (softer bone, sinus considerations). Often the most rational choice.

Soft food, no smoking, no straws, no vigorous rinsing. Mild swelling normal, peaks day 3. Antibiotics and pain relief as prescribed. Provisional bridge in place.

Provisional worn while six implants integrate. Soft-to-normal diet progression. WhatsApp check-ins with our team if you have travelled home.

Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush. A water flosser is the single most useful tool for cleaning under the bridge. Interdental brushes around each implant head.

Professional cleaning of the bridge, soft-tissue check around each of the six implants, visual inspection. Six implants take longer to clean than four, plan for slightly longer recall appointments.

Standard 12-month X-ray to confirm bone levels around each implant are stable. Standard practice for all implant patients globally.

Smoking is the single biggest threat to implant longevity. Untreated peri-implantitis is the second. Hard objects (ice, pen caps, fingernails) are unkind to bridges and implants alike. Heavy grinders should wear a night guard.

Long-term clinical literature consistently reports implant survival in the 98 percent range over 10 years for healthy patients placed by experienced clinicians, confirmed by the systematic review of Moraschini et al. (2015) covering more than 14,000 implants across 23 studies. Full-arch protocols (All-on-4, All-on-6) show comparable survival.

Failure to integrate at one of the six positions (rare, the bridge can usually still be supported by the remaining five). Peri-implantitis from poor hygiene under the bridge. Bridge fracture (replaceable). Anaesthesia-related complications (mitigated by hospital-based delivery).

CBCT 3D imaging before every surgery. Autoclave sterilisation. Medical history screening. Genuine brand fixtures only. Surgical planning reviewed before any incision. On-site emergency medical support at our hospital-partner branches.

If an implant fails to integrate within 6 months, we re-place it at no additional cost. If a bridge fractures within the warranty period, we replace it. We don't invoice you to fix our own work.

Smoking roughly doubles implant failure risk and significantly increases peri-implantitis. With six implants in play, the cumulative risk is meaningful, we strongly recommend stopping at least 2 weeks before surgery and remaining smoke-free for 8 weeks after.

If one of six implants ever fails decades down the line, the bridge can be modified to function on the remaining five while the failed position is re-treated. With four implants, all are load-bearing, and a single failure typically means full bridge replacement.

Four strategically placed implants supporting a full-arch bridge. Faster, more economical, designed to use available bone, often without grafting.
