What's Better: All-on-4 or All-on-6 Implants?

March 26, 2025

If you're missing most or all of your teeth and exploring permanent solutions, you've likely come across two common options: All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants. Both are revolutionary treatments that restore your smile using a full arch of prosthetic teeth supported by dental implants—but how do you know which one is right for you?

At SMILE HAUS, we understand that this decision can feel overwhelming. That’s why our expert team is here to break it down and help you understand the key differences so you can make the best choice for your health, comfort, and confidence.

What Are All-on-4 Implants?

All-on-4 implants use four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This technique is designed to maximize the use of available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting. It’s a great option for patients with some bone loss and offers faster treatment and recovery time.

Benefits of All-on-4:

Requires fewer implants

Shorter surgical time

Often allows for immediate placement of temporary teeth

Cost-effective compared to traditional implant options

What Are All-on-6 Implants?

All-on-6 implants, as the name suggests, use six implants to anchor the full arch. With more points of support, this option can provide added strength, stability, and long-term durability—especially beneficial for patients with higher bite force or who want extra peace of mind.

Benefits of All-on-6:

Increased support and stability

Better force distribution during chewing

May extend the lifespan of the prosthetic arch

Ideal for patients with adequate bone density

Which One Is Better?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—both treatments are highly effective, and the best option depends on your unique needs, anatomy, and goals. At SMILE HAUS, our multi-specialty team evaluates your bone structure, oral health, and lifestyle to recommend the right solution for you.

Generally speaking:

All-on-4 may be better suited for those with some bone loss or looking for a more streamlined, cost-conscious approach.

All-on-6 may be ideal for those with good bone density who want added stability and long-term durability.
