All-on-6 vs All-on-4 – Which Is Right for You?

When it comes to full-arch dental implant solutions, two of the most popular treatments are All-on-4 and All-on-6. Both provide fixed, natural-looking teeth supported by implants, but there are important differences that may determine which is best for you.

What Is All-on-4?

All-on-4 dental implants use four implants per arch, strategically placed to support a full set of teeth.

Advantages:

• Lower cost compared to All-on-6.

• Faster surgery and recovery time.

• Can often be placed without bone grafting.

Disadvantages:

• Less stability than All-on-6.

• If one implant fails, the entire arch is compromised.

• The bridge may be more prone to fractures over time.

What Is All-on-6?

All-on-6 uses six implants per arch, providing additional support and stability.

Advantages:

• Stronger foundation for chewing and biting.

• Better pressure distribution across the jaw.

• Lower risk of failure compared to All-on-4.

Disadvantages:

• Higher cost than All-on-4.

• Requires more bone density to place the extra implants.

Key Differences Between All-on-4 and All-on-6

• Stability: All-on-6 is generally more stable and long-lasting.

• Cost: All-on-4 is more budget-friendly but may not be as durable.

• Bone Requirements: All-on-4 works better for patients with less bone density, while All-on-6 is best for those with adequate bone volume.

Which Option Should You Choose?

Your choice depends on your oral health, bone structure, and personal goals. If you want a faster and more affordable solution, All-on-4 may be right for you. If you prefer maximum stability and durability, All-on-6 is the stronger option.
