All on 6 dental implants represent a highly customized, biomechanically driven approach to full arch tooth replacement. By using six strategically placed implants, this treatment provides enhanced load distribution, long-term stability, and greater restorative flexibility—especially in complex cases or revision scenarios.
At 1Smile Dental, All on 6 is not a standardized procedure. It is a comprehensive prosthetic rehabilitation planned around bone quality, bite forces, facial support, and long-term function.
Our team is trained in advanced implant techniques that allow us to treat patients who have been told they are not candidates or who are dealing with failing All on 4 or All on X restorations.
While All on 4 and All on X are excellent solutions for many patients, All on 6 may be recommended when:
Six implants provide increased surface area, improved force distribution, and greater redundancy—important factors in long-term implant success.
One of the key distinctions at 1Smile Dental is our ability to incorporate specialized implant techniques when traditional implant placement is limited by bone anatomy or prior failures.
Pterygoid implants anchor into dense bone behind the upper jaw, eliminating the need for sinus grafting in many upper-arch cases. These implants provide posterior support where bone is often lacking.
Transnasal implants engage dense nasal floor bone to stabilize upper arch restorations in patients with advanced bone loss. This technique is especially valuable in revision cases and complex maxillary anatomy.
In select cases, mini implants may be used to enhance stabilization, support provisional restorations, or assist in transitional phases of full-arch rehabilitation.
These advanced techniques allow us to:
All on 6 treatment requires more than placing additional implants. It demands advanced surgical judgment and prosthetic planning.
Our doctors have extensive training in:
Because surgical and restorative phases are managed under one roof, we maintain full control over outcomes and avoid fragmented care.
Your first visit focuses on diagnosis, education, and planning. We evaluate not just whether implants can be placed, but how they should function long-term.
Implants are placed using digitally guided surgical protocols for precision and safety.
When conditions allow, a fixed temporary prosthesis is delivered the same day. This temporary phase protects implants, restores function, and allows us to evaluate bite, speech, and comfort.
Over approximately three months, the implants integrate with the bone while we closely monitor tissue response, comfort, and bite stability.
This phase allows us to identify potential complications early, fine-tune prosthetic design, and ensure long-term implant health.
Before final teeth are delivered, we intentionally refine:
Final restorations are selected based on functional needs and esthetic goals and may include zirconia full-arch prostheses, layered zirconia, or hybrid designs when indicated.
Each restoration is designed for durability, hygiene, and long-term success.
A significant portion of our All on 6 cases involve revision dentistry. We routinely treat patients experiencing fractured prostheses, poorly positioned implants, bite instability, chronic discomfort, inflammation, or esthetic dissatisfaction.
Our ability to place advanced implants and redesign prosthetics in-house allows us to correct—not just replace—prior failures.
Complex implant cases require contingency planning. At 1Smile Dental, we are equipped to manage implant failure, prosthetic wear or fracture, bite discrepancies, tissue complications, and long-term maintenance.
We proudly provide advanced full-arch implant care for patients throughout Northwest Indiana and surrounding communities, including:
