All-on-6 Dental Implants in Aliso Viejo, CA

What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?

At Aliso Creek Dental, we offer All-on-6 as an advanced option for patients who need a full arch of teeth replaced with maximum stability and long-term durability. All-on-6 uses six strategically positioned implants to support an entire arch of fixed, natural-looking teeth, distributing bite force more evenly than techniques that rely on fewer implants. This added support makes All-on-6 an excellent choice for patients with higher bite forces, additional bone loss, or a desire for the strongest possible foundation for their new smile. Like our other dental implant solutions, All-on-6 is built around each patient's unique anatomy and long-term oral health goals.

Why Choose All-on-6

All-on-6 is designed for patients who want the closest possible replication of natural tooth function and long-term stability. Advantages include:

  • Six implants spread across the arch for enhanced load distribution and stability
  • A strong foundation for patients with higher bite force or a history of denture failure
  • Added support in areas of the jaw with reduced bone density, sometimes reducing the extent of bone grafting needed
  • A fixed, non-removable prosthetic that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth
  • A durable alternative to removable dentures or multiple individual dental bridges
  • Long-term preservation of jawbone structure and facial support

The All-on-6 Treatment Process

Treatment is carefully sequenced to protect oral health at every stage while restoring full arch function as efficiently as possible.

  1. Initial consultation and 3D imaging to evaluate bone density, bite alignment, and overall candidacy for All-on-6.
  2. Extraction of any remaining compromised teeth, coordinated as part of a tooth extraction visit when necessary.
  3. Surgical placement of six implants, performed comfortably under sedation dentistry. Implant surgery is led by our in-house specialists, including Dr. Austin Burnett, our oral surgeon.
  4. Placement of a temporary fixed prosthetic so patients leave with functional teeth the same day as surgery.
  5. A healing period allowing the implants to fully fuse with the jawbone.
  6. Delivery of the final, custom-designed permanent prosthetic once healing is complete.

For patients with more extensive restorative needs, All-on-6 can also be incorporated into a broader full mouth reconstruction plan.

Who Is a Candidate for All-on-6?

All-on-6 is often recommended for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth in an arch and want additional implant support beyond what All-on-4 provides, particularly those with a stronger bite, larger arch, or moderate bone loss in specific areas. It's also a strong option for patients who want extra reassurance in the long-term durability of their new smile. A consultation allows our team to compare All-on-6 against other dental implant options and recommend the best fit for each patient's oral anatomy.

Financing and Insurance for All-on-6 Implants

Because All-on-6 is a meaningful investment in long-term oral health, we help patients understand their options before beginning treatment. Patients can review available financing options, confirm accepted insurance information, and complete new patient forms in advance of their appointment.

How is All-on-6 different from All-on-4?

Both techniques restore a full arch of teeth with a fixed prosthetic, but All-on-6 uses two additional implants for greater support and load distribution. This can make All-on-6 a better fit for patients with higher bite forces, a larger arch, or certain patterns of bone loss.

Do All-on-6 implants require more recovery time than All-on-4?

Recovery timelines are similar between the two techniques. Most patients experience some soreness and swelling for a few days to a couple of weeks, while full integration of the implants with the jawbone takes several months.

Will I need bone grafting for All-on-6?

Not necessarily. All-on-6 implants are placed to make efficient use of available bone, and the additional implants can sometimes reduce the need for extensive grafting compared to other restoration methods.

How long do All-on-6 dental implants last?

With proper home care and regular dental visits, All-on-6 implants are built to last for decades, and often a lifetime. The prosthetic teeth may need periodic adjustment or replacement due to normal wear over time.

Is the All-on-6 procedure uncomfortable?

The procedure is performed under sedation for a comfortable experience. Mild soreness during the initial healing period is normal and is managed with standard aftercare instructions.
