About All-on-6 Dental Implants

All-on-6 replaces a full arch of teeth using six titanium implants instead of the four used in All-on-4. The two extra posterior implants distribute bite force more evenly across the jaw, which is especially valuable for patients with stronger bite pressure, those who grind their teeth, or anyone whose posterior bone density supports the additional placement. The fixed prosthesis is attached the same day in most cases, and the final zirconia or hybrid restoration is placed after 4-6 months of osseointegration. All-on-6 is generally preferred over All-on-4 when bone volume in the posterior maxilla or mandible is adequate, and the added stability is considered a cost-effective long-term investment for patients prioritizing chewing performance and prosthesis longevity.

Procedure Steps

1Comprehensive consultation with CBCT 3D imaging and digital treatment planning
2Extraction of any remaining non-restorable teeth (if needed)
3Surgical placement of six implants per arch under local anesthesia or sedation
4Same-day attachment of a temporary fixed prosthesis
5Final zirconia or hybrid prosthesis placed after 4-6 months of osseointegration

Ideal Candidate

Good candidates have adequate posterior jawbone density, are missing most or all teeth in an arch, are non-smokers (or willing to quit), and want maximum bite-force support and prosthesis stability over a single-arch lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-6 Dental Implants

How much does All-on-6 cost in Houston?

All-on-6 dental implants in Houston cost between $22,000 and $42,000 per arch in 2026. Pricing varies based on materials (zirconia vs. acrylic-titanium hybrid), whether bone grafting or extractions are needed, and the surgeon's experience level. Most Houston implant specialists offer financing through CareCredit and in-house payment plans.

All-on-6 vs All-on-4 — which one should I choose?

All-on-6 uses two additional posterior implants for better bite-force distribution and prosthesis stability, while All-on-4 uses four angled implants and is more cost-effective when posterior bone is limited. Patients with strong bite pressure, bruxism, or adequate posterior bone density often benefit from All-on-6. Your Houston implant specialist will recommend which is appropriate based on your CBCT scan.

How long do All-on-6 dental implants last?

All-on-6 implants are designed to last 25 years or more with proper care, and many patients keep them for life. The titanium implants themselves have a 96-98% success rate over 10 years. The prosthesis (the visible teeth) typically lasts 10-15 years before needing replacement, depending on materials and wear.

Will I have teeth the same day as the All-on-6 surgery?

Most Houston All-on-6 patients leave the surgical appointment with a temporary fixed prosthesis attached the same day — meaning you walk out with functional teeth. The final zirconia or hybrid prosthesis is fitted after 4-6 months of osseointegration, once the implants have fused with the jawbone.

Is the All-on-6 procedure comfortable?

The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and sedation options are available for patient comfort. Most patients report less discomfort than expected, with post-operative soreness managed by over-the-counter ibuprofen for 3-5 days. Houston specialists offer oral and IV sedation for patients with dental anxiety or those who prefer to be relaxed during the procedure.
