All-on-6 dental implants are a modern full-arch tooth-replacement solution for patients who need a fixed, durable alternative to missing or failing teeth. By placing six precisely positioned implants within the jaw, this treatment provides strong bite support, improved chewing function, and a secure foundation for full-arch restoration for a full set of upper or lower teeth.
At Mooroopna Family Dental Care, All-on-6 treatment is carefully planned using advanced diagnostics and personalised assessment. Every treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s bone structure, oral health, and functional needs. Careful planning helps achieve comfortable function, natural appearance, and reliable long-term outcomes
All-on-6 is a fixed implant-supported bridge solution designed for full-mouth tooth replacement. It is a full-mouth rehabilitation technique in which six dental implants are placed in the jawbone to support a fixed bridge of prosthetic teeth. These implants act as anchors, replacing the function of natural tooth roots and providing a secure foundation for a complete smile restoration.
Compared to traditional dentures, All-on-6 implants are fixed in place and do not shift or move while speaking or eating.
Choosing the right full-mouth restoration depends on comfort, stability, and long-term results. All-on-6 is a fixed implant-supported solution that offers strong, natural-looking teeth designed for daily function and durability.
All-on-6 vs Full Dentures: Unlike removable dentures, All-on-6 is permanently fixed, providing superior stability, improved chewing ability, and greater confidence when speaking or eating.
All-on-6 vs All-on-4: Both restore a full arch, but All-on-6 uses two additional implants for enhanced strength, better bite force distribution, and long-term support.
All-on-6 vs Individual Implants per Tooth: All-on-6 replaces a full arch using six implants, avoiding multiple surgeries for each missing tooth efficiently.
All-on-6 vs Implant-Retained Overdenture: All-on-6 is a fixed solution offering improved stability, comfort, and function compared to removable overdentures.
All-on-6 may be recommended for patients who:
A detailed clinical assessment, including 3D imaging, is required to determine suitability.
A full oral assessment is completed using dental history, medical review, X-rays, and CBCT scans. A personalised plan and detailed cost estimate are provided before treatment begins.
Damaged teeth are removed, and six implants are placed in one procedure where suitable. A temporary fixed bridge is often attached immediately, restoring basic function and appearance.
Over three to six months, implants integrate with the jawbone for stability. Patients wear a temporary bridge and follow dietary instructions to support safe healing and comfort during recovery.
After healing, a custom-made permanent bridge is fitted. It is crafted from durable porcelain fused to titanium or zirconia, ensuring long-lasting strength, function, and a natural-looking aesthetic.
Regular check-ups are scheduled to maintain implant health, clean around the implant areas, and monitor the condition of the prosthesis, ensuring long-term stability, comfort, and consistent oral health.
Recovery after implant placement may include mild swelling, tenderness, and short-term dietary changes for one to two weeks. Prescribed pain relief helps effectively manage discomfort. Most patients are surprised by the immediate improvement in function and appearance, even with the provisional bridge, well before receiving their final prosthesis.
All-on-6 is a comprehensive, high-skill treatment that represents a significant long-term investment in oral health. Costs vary depending on case complexity, the number of arches treated, the extractions required, and the prosthesis materials used. Detailed written estimates are provided after consultation. Some private health funds may offer partial implant coverage, and we assist with claims.
Dr. Ashish Gulati is a certified All-on-X provider who has completed specialised training in full-arch implant restoration. We use only premium implant systems (Zimmer Biomet, Osstem, Straumann) and custom-crafted prostheses. Most importantly, we understand that All-on-6 treatment can significantly improve quality of life — and we take that responsibility seriously.
All-on-6 is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, ensuring comfort during surgery. Mild post-operative discomfort is normal and usually managed effectively with prescribed medication during recovery.
On the day of surgery, teeth are removed if required, implants are placed, and a temporary fixed bridge is often attached, allowing patients to leave with functional teeth immediately.
The surgical procedure is completed in one visit, while full healing and final prosthesis placement typically take three to six months, depending on individual recovery.
Yes, All-on-6 offers fixed, stable teeth that do not move, providing improved chewing ability, comfort, and confidence compared to traditional removable dentures in daily life.
All-on-6 implants are a strong, dependable long-term tooth-replacement option that can last many years, often decades, with good oral care and regular dental checks.
