All-on-6 is an approach using six implants to support a full-arch prosthesis in one jaw. Implant number alone does not determine the outcome. Bone support, implant distribution, prosthesis design and the ability to maintain hygiene are assessed together.

What is assessed before treatment?
The assessment examines space for implant placement, anatomical structures and whether existing teeth can be retained. Bite forces, a history of grinding, health conditions and medicines are considered. Limited bone may lead to discussion of additional procedures or a different restorative approach.
How is treatment planned?
Planning considers how the prosthesis will be supported and cleaned. Healing after implant placement is monitored at clinical reviews. The timing of temporary and final restorations involves separate decisions. Early loading is considered only where stability and clinical conditions allow.
Alternatives and limitations
Alternatives include All-on-4, other implant-supported designs and removable options. Six implants are not universally better than four. Increasing the number may change surgical, bone and cleaning requirements; selection should be individualised.
Risks and follow-up
Surgical risks such as infection, bleeding, injury to nearby structures and implant loss must be discussed. Wear, fracture or screw problems can occur in the prosthesis. Cleaning aids, review intervals and management of grinding are tailored to the patient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does All-on-6 mean six implants for the whole mouth?
The term refers to a full-arch plan for one jaw. Upper and lower jaws are assessed separately.
Does it remove the need for bone grafting?
No. Grafting requirements depend on bone volume and planned implant positions.
Are follow-up visits needed?
Yes. The tissues, prosthetic connections and cleaning routine need ongoing review.
