All-on-6 Dental Implants in Aliso Viejo

- 6 implants per arch
- Six planned implant positions
- In-house lab
- IV sedation available
A Six-Implant Full-Arch Option
All-on-6 replaces a full arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed, non-removable prosthetic supported by six titanium implants. The two extra implants — compared with All-on-4 — may provide additional support when anatomy and restorative design make six implants appropriate.
It is not automatically better for every patient. Bone availability, implant position, hygiene access, bite forces, cost and the planned prosthesis all affect the choice.
- Fixed, non-removable teeth
- Additional implant support
- Case-specific restorative design
- May suit selected upper arches
- Natural, lifelike appearance
- Requires ongoing professional maintenance
Six Implants
Two additional posts vs. All-on-4 distribute stress and lock the bridge in place.
Additional Support
Two additional implant positions may support the planned prosthesis when clinically appropriate.
Zirconia Aesthetics
Custom-milled prosthetic mimics real enamel translucency and light reflection.
Long-Term Maintenance
Implants and prosthetic components need daily cleaning, professional maintenance and occasional repair or replacement.
All-on-4 vs. All-on-6 — Which Is Right for You?
