All-on-6 takes the proven concept of full-arch implant reconstruction and adds two additional implant points for enhanced stability and force distribution. For patients with adequate bone or those seeking the most robust possible foundation for their new teeth, six implants can provide greater long-term security and allow for a wider range of prosthetic designs.
At Newpoint Family Dental in Unionville, CT, Dr. Tabai evaluates each patient individually with 3D imaging to determine whether four, six, or more implants will deliver the best outcome for your specific anatomy and lifestyle.
Why Choose All-on-6 Over All-on-4?
Both approaches deliver exceptional results. All-on-6 may be recommended when:
- You have sufficient bone density to support additional implants
- You want the maximum chewing force and long-term durability
- Your jaw anatomy benefits from a wider spread of support points
- You prefer the security of more anchor points for your prosthetic arch
The extra implants distribute biting forces more evenly, which can reduce stress on individual implants and potentially extend the life of the prosthetic components.
The Process
After comprehensive 3D imaging and treatment planning, Dr. Tabai places six titanium implants in carefully mapped positions throughout your jaw. In many cases, a temporary set of teeth is attached the same day. Over the next 3 to 6 months, the implants fuse with your bone through osseointegration. Once healed, your final custom prosthetic arch is made and placed — permanent, non-removable teeth that look and function like your own.
Life After All-on-6
Patients consistently describe All-on-6 as life-changing. You eat whatever you want, smile without self-consciousness, and care for your new teeth with regular brushing and dental visits — much like natural teeth. No adhesives, no soaking, no restrictions. Patients from across Farmington Valley come to Newpoint for full-arch solutions because we keep the entire process — from planning through final restoration — under one roof.
