Frequently Asked Questions
All-on-6 uses six implants per arch instead of four, providing more support and stability. It may be recommended for patients who need extra anchorage or have specific bone conditions.
All-on-6 distributes biting force across more implants, which can reduce stress on each implant. However, All-on-4 is sufficient for most patients and costs less.
Initial recovery takes 1-2 weeks. Full osseointegration (implants fusing with bone) takes 3-6 months, during which you wear a temporary prosthesis.
