01 Quick Answer

All-on-6 Dental Implants in Mahim — Quick Answer

All-on-6 is a full-arch implant protocol that uses six implants, rather than four, to support an entire fixed set of replacement teeth. The extra two implants spread bite forces across more support points and add redundancy — if one implant ever needs attention, the other five continue supporting the arch. It's one of two full-arch options offered at PlanDental, alongside All-on-4.

02 Overview

How the All-on-6 Protocol Works

All-on-6 follows the same basic principle as All-on-4 — a small number of implants supporting a full fixed arch — but with two additional implants for extra support. This can be a good fit for patients with stronger bite forces, those who want more redundancy built into the plan, or cases where the extra implants make better use of the available bone across the arch.

The extra two implants in All-on-6 are mainly about additional support and redundancy, not a fundamentally different technique from All-on-4.
03 Candidacy

Is All-on-6 Right for You?

Often a good fit

  • Most or all teeth missing or failing in a jaw
  • Adequate bone volume across the arch
  • Wanting extra long-term redundancy and support
  • Stronger bite forces to distribute

Needs more discussion

  • Reduced bone volume — see All-on-4, which often needs less
  • Wanting the simpler four-implant approach
  • Uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking
All-on-6 generally asks for a bit more available bone than All-on-4 — your imaging determines which protocol genuinely fits.

05 Procedure

How All-on-6 Works at PlanDental: Step by Step

Assessment and imaging

Detailed imaging confirms bone volume across the arch and plans the position of all six implants.

Implant placement

Six implants are placed at planned positions spanning the jaw.

Healing period

The implants integrate with the bone over several months before final loading.

Fixed arch fitted

A full fixed replacement arch is attached to the six healed implants.

The extra implants add planning steps but follow the same overall assessment-to-fixed-arch sequence as All-on-4.
06 Cost

How Much Does All-on-6 Cost in Mumbai?

All-on-6 cost in Mumbai is generally higher than All-on-4, since it involves two additional implants, plus the materials used for the final prosthetic arch. PlanDental doesn't publish a fixed figure here — call or WhatsApp and the clinic will talk you through it after the assessment.

Tends to push the estimate up: two extra implants vs All-on-4, both jaws treated, premium prosthetic materials.
Tends to keep it simpler: one jaw only, adequate existing bone.

This section describes what affects cost, not a quotation. Actual cost is confirmed only after the assessment.

07 Aftercare

All-on-6 Aftercare: What to Expect

First few days

Soft-food diet and mild swelling are expected right after surgery.

Healing period

Regular check-ups monitor integration of all six implants.

Once restored

The fixed arch functions much like natural teeth for eating and speaking.

Ongoing

Periodic professional cleaning around the implants and prosthesis is important.

Long-term studies on multi-implant full-arch protocols report strong survival rates when patients keep up with hygiene and follow-up visits.
08 Limits

What to Know Before Choosing All-on-6

Generally needs more available bone across the arch than All-on-4 — this is confirmed at assessment.

Involves placing and monitoring two more implants than All-on-4, which can mean a somewhat longer surgical visit.

Uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can affect how well the implants integrate.

All-on-6's extra support is a genuine advantage for the right case — it's not automatically "better" than All-on-4 for everyone.

11 FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-6

What's the advantage of six implants over four?

Six implants spread bite forces across more support points and add redundancy — if one implant ever needs attention, the rest continue supporting the arch.

Do I need more bone for All-on-6 than All-on-4?

Generally, yes — All-on-6 typically needs adequate bone volume across more of the arch, while All-on-4's angled placement can work with less. This is confirmed with your imaging.

Is All-on-6 always better than All-on-4?

Not automatically — it depends on your bone volume, bite forces, and priorities. Both are well-established, genuinely good options.

Is the result fixed or removable?

Fixed. The prosthetic arch is attached to the implants and isn't designed to be removed by the patient day to day.

How long does All-on-6 treatment take?

From placement to the final fixed arch, it typically spans several months to allow proper healing and integration of all six implants.

Can All-on-6 be done on both the upper and lower jaw?

Yes — many patients have All-on-6 on one jaw, others on both, depending on which arch needs it.
