All-on-4 vs. All-on-6 Dental Implants: Key Differences Explained

For individuals in California suffering from extensive tooth loss, dental implants offer a life-changing solution. Among the most popular full-mouth restoration options are All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants. But how do they differ, and which one is right for you?

Structural Differences: All-on-4 vs. All-on-6

All-on-4 Dental Implants

• Uses four strategically placed titanium implants to support a full arch of teeth.
• The two posterior implants are angled at 30-45 degrees to maximize contact with the bone, reducing the need for bone grafting.
• Suitable for patients with mild to moderate bone loss.
• Offers a quicker recovery and often lower cost than All-on-6.

All-on-6 Dental Implants

• Utilizes six implants per arch, providing extra stability and support.
• Implants are evenly distributed, improving load-bearing capacity and durability.
• Recommended for patients with better bone density who seek enhanced long-term support.
• Slightly higher cost due to additional implants and potential surgical complexity.

Stability & Longevity: Which Option Lasts Longer?

At ORA4X Dental Implant Studio, we ensure that our patients understand the longevity and effectiveness of both options:

• All-on-4 implants work efficiently for most patients, but they rely on fewer implants, making them slightly less stable over time.
• All-on-6 implants provide better stress distribution across the jaw, reducing long-term wear and tear.
• Studies indicate that All-on-6 can extend the lifespan of the prosthetic arch by 5-10 additional years compared to All-on-4.

During your consultation at ORA4X Dental Implant Studio, Dr. Dalla will evaluate your unique dental structure to recommend the best option for you.
