All-on-Four vs. All-on-Six: Differences and Advantages
The All-on-Four and All-on-Six protocols have become the most advanced solutions for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. Both techniques allow the placement of fixed teeth supported by implants, restoring full function, aesthetics, and confidence.
At Smile Clear 3D Miami, we perform full-mouth rehabilitations using 3D technology and digital planning, serving both local residents and international patients. In this article, we explain in detail the differences between both systems to help you choose the best option.
What Is All-on-Four?
All-on-Four consists of placing four dental implants in the upper or lower jaw to support a complete fixed prosthesis.
It is characterized by:
• 2 vertical front implants
• 2 angled posterior implants to better utilize available bone
Advantages of All-on-Four
• Fewer implants required
• Faster procedure
• Lower investment
• Ideal for patients with limited bone volume
• Easier recovery
What Is All-on-Six?
All-on-Six uses six implants per arch to support a complete fixed prosthesis.
Advantages of All-on-Six
• Greater stability and support
• More balanced load distribution
• Higher long-term durability
• Ideal for patients with sufficient bone
• Excellent support for longer bridges
Which Treatment Is Best for Me?
It depends on:
• Quantity and quality of available bone
• Age
• Habits (such as bruxism)
• Overall medical condition
• Aesthetic and functional goals
At Smile Clear 3D Miami, we perform a complete digital evaluation to determine the most appropriate protocol.
