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.
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.

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.
