Maximum stability.
All-on-6 restores a complete upper or lower arch using six titanium implants rather than four, distributing bite forces more evenly across the arch. The additional implants provide enhanced long-term stability, greater load-bearing capacity, and superior support for the final porcelain restoration.
Six implants provide superior force distribution and long-term stability
All-on-6 uses six implants per arch — typically two at the front, two in the mid-arch, and two at the rear — to create a more evenly distributed support framework for the full-arch restoration. The additional implants reduce the mechanical load on each individual implant, which is particularly beneficial for the upper jaw where bone density is typically lower.
The six-implant approach also provides a degree of redundancy — even if one implant were ever to fail, the remaining five continue to support the arch. This makes All-on-6 the preferred choice for patients who want the highest level of long-term structural confidence, or those with lower bone density in the posterior upper jaw.
- Full arch tooth loss with lower bone density — Six implants distribute forces better in patients with softer or less dense bone
- Upper arch restoration — The maxilla typically has lower bone density than the mandible — additional implants compensate
- Patients wanting maximum long-term confidence — Six implants provide structural redundancy and superior load distribution for life
- Heavier bite force patients — Patients who clench or grind benefit from the additional implant support that All-on-6 provides
- All-on-4 with insufficient bone at rear sites — When posterior bone is inadequate for angled All-on-4 placement, additional anterior implants are added
Both techniques restore a complete arch of teeth on a small number of implants. All- on-6 uses two additional implants for greater force distribution and long-term stability — particularly advantageous in the upper jaw. All-on-4 is more cost-effective and requires less bone. Dr Kozor assesses your specific anatomy to recommend the best approach.
All-on-6 is designed for patients who have lost or are planning to lose all teeth in one or both arches, and who want the most stable and durable full-arch solution available.
The extra implants are particularly valuable in the upper jaw where bone is typically softer. Six implants compensate for lower individual implant integration strength.
For patients who want the best possible structural outcome and are prepared for a slightly longer treatment timeline, All-on-6 provides the most robust full-arch implant foundation.
All-on-6 is major oral surgery. Cardiovascular health, absence of uncontrolled diabetes or immune conditions, and non-smoking status all improve outcomes and are assessed at consultation.

Six implants require a slightly longer

Six implants spread bite forces more evenly across the arch, reducing stress on each individual implant —particularly important in the upper jaw where bone is less dense.
If one implant were ever to fail or require attention, the remaining five continue to support the arch without compromise — providing a degree of long-term security not possible with four.
The upper jaw presents unique challenges due to lower bone density and sinus proximity. All-on-6 addresses these anatomical factors and consistently delivers superior upper arch implant outcomes.

Thinking about all-on-6 dental implants? Here are the questions we hear most. Call us if yours isn’t here.
What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
All-on-4 uses four dental implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth, while All-on-6 uses six implants for additional support and stability. The best option depends on your bone health and treatment goals.
How much does All-on-6 cost in Sydney?
The cost varies depending on your treatment needs, whether one or both arches are being treated, and if additional procedures are required. Your dentist will provide a personalised quote after your consultation.
Does All-on-6 require bone grafting?
Not always. Many patients can have All-on-6 without bone grafting, but it depends on the amount and quality of your jawbone. Your dentist will assess this during your consultation.
How long does recovery take after All-on-6?
Most patients recover from the surgery within a few days to two weeks, while the implants typically take 3–6 months to fully heal and integrate with the jawbone before the final restoration is placed.
