What is All-on-6?
For individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth, or who are confronting complex dental issues, the All-on-6 treatment presents a transformative solution. This advanced procedure addresses challenges like widespread decay, advanced gum disease, or diminished bone, providing a path to reclaim a complete, functional smile. By strategically placing six implants, we can securely attach a full set of teeth, restoring not only your ability to eat and speak with confidence but also your facial aesthetics and long-term oral health.
The All-on-6 approach is part of a family of full-arch implant therapies. Whether six or four implants are recommended depends entirely on a personalized assessment of your jawbone structure and specific needs. To understand how All-on-6 compares to its counterparts like All-on-4, we invite you to explore our detailed comparison guide.
How is the process of getting All-on-6 Dental Implants in China?
What are the components of the All-on-6?
-
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a medical-grade titanium fixture that serves as a replacement for a natural tooth root. Through a process called osseointegration, it fuses directly with your jawbone after placement. This creates a stable and enduring attachment point for a custom dental crown, bridge, or denture (the prosthetic superstructure), restoring both function and aesthetics.
-
Abutments
An abutment is a critical component that serves as the precise interface between the dental implant fixture and the final prosthesis. It is custom-selected or fabricated to ensure a passive fit, optimal load distribution, and the secure mechanical retention of the artificial tooth or teeth.
-
Fixed Dental Prosthesis (Full Arch)
The definitive prosthesis is the custom-crafted, visible set of teeth that replaces an entire arch. Meticulously designed to mimic the aesthetics, texture, and function of natural dentition, it restores your smile and full masticatory capability. It is fabricated from high-performance materials such as acrylic resin for adaptability, monolithic zirconia for extreme strength, or layered porcelain for premium aesthetics, based on individual clinical requirements and aesthetic goals.
Provisional (Temporary) vs. Definitive (Permanent) Prosthesis
-
Provisional or Temporary Prosthesis (Immediate Loading)
Following your implant surgery, you will receive a temporary set of teeth. This provisional prosthesis acts as a functional and aesthetic bridge during your healing period (which lasts several months for osseointegration). It allows you to eat, speak, and smile confidently while your jawbone securely fuses with the implants. Crafted from a specially designed dental acrylic, it is lightweight and can be easily adjusted for comfort. Think of it as both a protective guard and a “test drive” for your future permanent smile.
-
Definitive or Permanent Prosthesis
The journey culminates in receiving your permanent smile. After the essential healing period (usually 3-6 months for the implants to fully bond with your bone), we craft your final prosthesis from premium materials such as zirconia or ceramic. These are chosen not only for their strength and natural beauty but because they allow us to create a custom, long-lasting restoration tailored to you—one that truly feels, functions, and shines like your own teeth for years to come.

Complementary procedures alongside the All-on-6 treatment
What is Sinus Lift?
A sinus lift addresses insufficient bone height in the upper back jaw, a common issue following long-term tooth loss. To securely place implants, this procedure gently creates space within the sinus area and adds bone grafting material. This effectively builds up the bone to properly support your future implants.
The purpose
This procedure performs bone augmentation in the upper jaw to establish a stable foundation for dental implants.
When need the Sinus Lift?
This procedure is considered when the sinus cavity has expanded too close to the jawbone, or when substantial bone resorption has occurred in the upper jaw, compromising the site for implants.
Treatment Time Impact
It extends the overall treatment timeline, as a necessary integration period of about 3 to 6 months is required before implants can be inserted.
What is bone grafting?
To ensure dental implants have a solid foundation, bone grafting can regenerate bone in areas where it has diminished. Bone loss often results from extractions, gum disease, or wearing dentures. During this procedure, grafting material is placed to create a framework for your body to build new bone, effectively preparing the site for successful, long-lasting implants.
The purpose
Bone grafting rebuilds bone where it is thin or weak, ensuring dental implants have the secure, long-lasting support they need.
When need the Bone Grafting?
When bone has been lost due to missing teeth or severe gum disease, grafting is performed to restore lost volume and contour.
Treatment Time Impact
If needed, bone grafting adds a healing period of 3 to 6 months to your treatment timeline. Though advanced procedures like All-on-6 frequently minimize this need, in certain cases it is a valuable investment to ensure your implants have the best foundation for lasting durability.
