What is All-on-6?
All-on-6 is a full-arch dental implant treatment that replaces all the teeth in one arch using six strategically placed implants and a fixed, permanent bridge. The implants act like artificial roots, supporting a custom full-arch prosthesis that restores function, stability, and esthetics.
Compared to removable dentures, All-on-6 does not come in and out, does not rely on adhesive, and provides a solid biting surface. It is designed for patients who want a stable, long-term solution that feels as close as possible to natural teeth.
Why Six Implants?
Placing six implants provides additional support and load distribution across the jaw. This is especially helpful when:
- The patient has strong chewing forces or a heavy bite
- The arch has wider dimensions requiring reinforcement
- The goal is maximum long-term durability
- Bone volume allows for more implant sites without advanced grafting
More implants increase the overall stability of the restoration, reduce stress on each individual implant, and can improve how the prosthesis feels and functions day-to-day.
How it Differs From All-on-4®
All-on-4® and All-on-6 are both full-arch solutions. The difference is structural:
- All-on-4® uses four implants to support a full arch
- All-on-6 uses six implants for added support and force distribution
Both treatments are valid depending on bone quality, bite force, and restorative goals. Some patients are better suited for All-on-4®, while others benefit from the increased stability of All-on-6. We determine this with CBCT imaging, digital planning, and a full clinical evaluation.
The Goal
The purpose of All-on-6 is simple:
- Replace a full arch of missing or failing teeth
- Create a strong, comfortable, natural-looking smile
- Provide a fixed solution that supports everyday speaking, eating, and confidence
Why Choose All-on-6 at Smile Science Dental Spa?
Full-arch implant treatment is only as strong as its planning and execution. At Smile Science Dental Spa, All-on-6 is handled by a team that focuses heavily on implant dentistry, digital planning, and long-term restorative outcomes. The goal is not just to replace teeth, but to build a stable, functional, and attractive smile that performs well under daily use.
Digital Planning Comes First
We begin every full-arch case with:
- CBCT 3-D imaging
- Intraoral scanning
- Bite analysis
- Esthetic and facial proportion evaluation
This allows precise implant positioning and prosthetic design before any treatment begins. We do not guess. Every millimeter is planned.
Sedation Options for Comfort
Our in-house anesthesia partnership allows patients to choose the level of sedation that matches their needs and comfort. Most full-arch patients choose IV sedation so treatment feels relaxed, controlled, and predictable.
Immediate Function, Stabilized by Six Implants
By placing six implants, we distribute bite forces across the arch. This is particularly valuable for:
- Patients with strong chewing habits
- Patients who want the most stable long-term solution
- Patients who require greater reinforcement due to arch shape or occlusion
The prosthesis is secured the same day, so patients leave with a fixed smile rather than a removable denture.
Custom Prosthetics Designed for Your Face, Not Templates
We do not use generic shapes. Your provisional and final teeth are designed to fit:
- Your lip support
- Your facial structure
- Your bite and speaking patterns
- The esthetic look you want, whether natural or bold
This is where most full-arch cases succeed or fail. The prosthesis has to look right and function comfortably.
Materials Built for Longevity
We offer multiple final prosthesis options, including high-strength milled zirconia and titanium-reinforced frameworks. These materials are chosen for their durability, precision, and wear resistance. They are engineered to handle real-world function, not showroom photos.
Follow-Through and Maintenance
Full-arch treatment is not a one-day event. We guide patients through healing, restoration, and long-term maintenance. You are not left to figure it out alone. Our team monitors function, tissue health, occlusion, and prosthetic integrity over time.
Considering a Second Opinion?
Full-arch treatment is significant and permanent. It is reasonable to compare recommendations before you decide. We frequently provide second opinions for patients who have been told they need full extractions, grafting, or a specific implant approach.
If you would like another perspective, bring your treatment plan or previous imaging. If you don't have a CBCT yet, we will take one here and review your options together. No pressure. No obligation. Just clarity and a plan that makes sense.
| Treatment | Implants per Arch | Fixed or Removable | Typical Price | Our Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All-on-6 | 6 | Fixed | $25,000+ | $14,999 | Patients who want maximum long-term stability, stronger bite support, or have uneven bone distribution. Ideal when we want to future-proof the restoration. |
| All-on-4® | 4 | Fixed | $20,000+ | $14,999 | Patients with adequate bone volume where four implants still provide full support and immediate loading. |
| Snap-in overdenture | 2–4 | Removable (snaps on implants) | $12,000+ | $5,995 | Patients who prefer a removable solution or want a lower-cost option with some added stability. |
The best treatment depends on your bone anatomy, bite forces, medical history, and esthetic goals. We determine this with CBCT imaging and a full clinical assessment.
How All-on-6 Works
Your Surgery Day at a Glance
- ~30 minutes
We confirm your medical history and consent forms, verify your customized plan, and take any final photos/scans. You'll meet the surgical and prosthetic team, review expectations, and ask last-minute questions.
Check-in & Final Review
Anesthesia & Comfort
10–20 minutesBased on your plan, we'll use local anesthesia, oral sedation, or IV sedation. We monitor you throughout. You'll be comfortable and won't feel pain during the procedure.
- 1–2 hours per arch
Using your CBCT and digital guide, we remove any non-restorable teeth (if needed), prepare the sites, and place six implants. We confirm primary stability and position for the future bridge.
Implant Placement
Provisional Try-in & Bite Check
30–60 minutesWe fit your same-day provisional (PMMA) or an immediate healing prosthesis, check your bite/occlusion, and make comfort/phonetic adjustments. If we're doing upper + lower, we balance your bite so chewing forces are distributed evenly.
- ~15 minutes
You'll receive written instructions, medication guidance, a soft-diet guide, and hygiene tips for the first weeks. We schedule your first check-in visit and answer any final questions.
Post-Op Instructions & Kit
Head Home!
Same dayMost patients leave the same day with a fixed provisional and a soft-diet plan while the implants integrate. You'll still smile and speak normally. Same-day delivery depends on start time, case complexity, implant stability, and in-house lab capacity. When same-day isn't feasible, we deliver your provisional within 24–48 hours.
Candidacy
Am I a Candidate For All-on-6?
All-on-6 is designed for patients who are missing most or all teeth in an arch, or who have teeth that cannot be predictably restored. The key is having enough bone support for six implants to be placed in stable positions.
Missing Most or All Teeth
Multiple failing teeth, widespread decay, or advanced periodontal bone loss that makes individual restorations impractical.
Want a Fixed Solution
Prefers non-removable teeth that function like natural teeth -- no adhesive, no nightly removal, no instability.
Strong Bite Forces
Moderate to strong chewing habits or uneven bone distribution that benefits from the wider support of six implants vs. four.
Good General Health
No uncontrolled systemic conditions that contraindicate outpatient oral surgery or sedation. Managed diabetes and most medications are fine.
Adequate Bone Volume
Sufficient bone to support six implant sites. Some patients told they are not candidates elsewhere qualify with proper 3D planning.
The Only Way to Know for Certain
Candidacy is confirmed through CBCT imaging, digital implant planning, bite analysis, and a medical history review. There is no guessing -- we show you the scan and walk through the plan together.
Book a Free ConsultWhen All-on-4® May Be More Appropriate
All-on-4® is sometimes used when bone density is sufficient only in specific anterior or angled support zones, or when the goal is a streamlined surgery with fewer implant sites. Both treatments are valid -- the difference is force distribution over time and what best protects the final prosthesis. We determine which is right for you at consultation.

Risks & Benefits of All-on-6
Like any implant procedure, All-on-6 comes with benefits and risks. Understanding both helps you make a well-informed decision.
Benefits
- Fixed, non-removable teeth for daily function and speaking.
- Wider force distribution across six implants improves long-term stability.
- Helps maintain bone levels where implants are placed.
- Stronger chewing function vs. dentures or snap-in overdentures.
- Custom smile design tailored to facial proportions and esthetic goals.
- Same-day fixed provisional teeth in most cases.
Risks & Considerations
- Surgical recovery includes temporary soreness, swelling, and bruising.
- Implant failure can occur if bone does not integrate as expected.
- Additional procedures may be needed if bone or gum support is insufficient.
- Provisional bridge may require adjustment or repair during healing.
- Final prosthesis requires maintenance and periodic evaluation over time.
- Not all patients are candidates; suitability confirmed through CBCT and clinical planning.
How We Work to Reduce Risk
- Every case is planned digitally using CBCT imaging and implant simulation.
- Implant stability is verified before attaching same-day teeth.
- We monitor bite, tissue health, and healing at scheduled intervals.
- The provisional stage allows refinement before the final prosthesis is made.
Materials & Prosthesis Options
All-on-6 treatment involves two phases:
- A provisional (temporary) bridge worn during healing.
- A final prosthesis designed for long-term strength, esthetics, and comfort.
Provisional Bridge
- Made from high-strength PMMA
- Worn for 3 to 6 months during osseointegration
- Allows us to refine bite alignment, lip support, speech patterns, and esthetics.
- Designed to be strong enough for daily function during healing
This stage is intentional. It ensures your final prosthesis fits correctly and feels natural.
Final Prosthesis
When choosing the right final prosthesis, we consider:
- Bite force and parafunctional habits
- Bone support and implant distribution
- Facial esthetics and smile line position
- Desired tooth shape, shade, and texture
- Long-term maintenance expectations
There is no single "best" material.
The correct choice depends on your functional needs and esthetic goals, which we plan during the healing phase.
Most Popular
Full-Contour Zirconia
A single milled block of ceramic. Very high strength and fracture resistance with natural translucency and polish.
Best for: Patients who want a durable, highly esthetic long-term result.
For Heavy Biters
Titanium-Reinforced Hybrid
Zirconia or nano-ceramic layered over a titanium bar. Excellent structural stability and load distribution with highly customizable esthetics.
Best for: Patients with strong bite forces or parafunction who need additional reinforcement.
Budget Option
Acrylic / PMMA Hybrid
Reinforced acrylic over a metal bar. Lower long-term wear resistance with acceptable esthetics.
Best for: Patients seeking a lower-cost final prosthesis or planning a future upgrade.
We will review material options in detail during your design appointments and help you choose the prosthesis that supports both function and esthetics long term.
Maintenance and Long-Term Care
Routine Checkups
A full-arch implant restoration is a long-term treatment. Like natural teeth, it requires ongoing care to protect the implants, prosthesis, and surrounding tissues. Proper maintenance ensures comfort, function, and stability over time.
We schedule maintenance visits at regular intervals to evaluate:
- Implant stability
- Tissue health and inflammation
- Bite alignment and wear patterns
- Prosthesis integrity
These visits help prevent small issues from developing into larger problems.
Professional Cleaning
The prosthesis does not decay, but plaque and biofilm can still accumulate around the implants. Not all dental offices are equipped to clean full-arch restorations correctly.
At Smile Science Dental Spa:
- We have a hygiene team specifically trained in maintaining All-on-6 and full-arch prostheses.
- We use implant-safe instrumentation and protocols to protect the prosthesis and the implant surfaces.
- Our hygiene team routinely cares for full-arch patients who were treated at other implant centers that do not offer ongoing maintenance.
This is a meaningful part of your long-term outcome.
Home Care
Your daily routine will include:
- Brushing twice per day with a soft brush
- Using a water flosser to clean under the prosthesis
- Rinsing with a non-alcohol antimicrobial rinse as recommended
These steps reduce inflammation and support long-term implant health.
Monitoring and Adjustment
Over time, we may make small adjustments to your bite or prosthesis. This is normal. These adjustments help distribute forces evenly and maintain comfort.
Replacement Expectations
A final prosthesis is long-term, but not permanent in the same sense as natural enamel. Materials can wear or chip over many years of use. With proper care, full-arch restorations are designed to function for many years before any component needs repair or replacement.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Smile Science Dental Spa, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and service provided by the entire team. Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke are both incredibly skilled and made me feel completely at ease throughout my procedures. Their professionalism, combined with their gentle approach, made me feel comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. I was especially impressed that I was able to get a same-day crown(apparently their first ever!), which exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t believe how quick and seamless the process was. It really saved me time and made the experience even more convenient. Cindiray and Angeles, the dental assistants, were equally wonderful. They were not only friendly and attentive but also thorough in explaining everything and made sure I was relaxed during each phase of my visit. Lastly, a big thank you to Litzy at the front desk, who greeted me with a smile and helped with scheduling and any questions I had. She made the entire check-in process a breeze. From start to finish, my experience at Smile Science Dental Spa was exceptional. I'll be returning for sure. I highly, highly, highly recommend them for anyone looking for high-quality dental care.

Honestly I’ve never been so happy to go to the dentist. I came in (late due to Lyft) and was still taken care of and treated with care. Even without insurance (kicking in within the next month) prices for an extraction on my infected tooth were more than reasonable. I was able to get more than expected done in the same visit. Dr. Dawson and his team made me feel so comfortable and taken care of. Won’t go anywhere else.

Myself and my family had previously gone to Dr. Turk at another dental office that he worked at. He had relocated and we did not know where he had gone to until this week. Today I got in with Dr. Turk and he took the time to look at my x-rays carefully . I was having pain from a tooth and some other issues. The previous Dentist I went to that I saw just a few days earlier, he did not find any issues with my tooth which I had pain in. Dr. Turk identified infection and referred me to an endodontist. He is very gentle as a wonderful disposition and my self and my family are thrilled to be able to get back with him. The office is lovely, relaxing music, heat and massage chair.I have always been very nervous and some anxiety going to dentist as I have had bad reactions with the anesthesia. I am confident that Dr. Kirk will help me get through my next appointment just fine. “The staff are very kind and attentive. I am looking forward as I have quite a bit of work to be done, and I know I’m in good hands with Dr. Turk and his staff. Five stars!⭐️ Sherry

I recently moved to Arizona and had an issue with a tooth repair from 15 years back. Not knowing anyone here in my new home, I searched dentists close to me. I chose Smile Science much like pinning the tail on the donkey and my selection couldn't have been better! What a terrific staff! Dr. Turke was concerned the tooth would need to be extracted, but said he wanted to take a shot at saving it..and that's just what he did! After setting a temporary crown, I was on my way with an appointment to install the permanent crown in the following two weeks. That evening I received a call I've never received from a dentist. Dr. Turke had taken the time to follow up with me to make sure I wasn't in any discomfort..I was completely caught off guard by this kind of attention to detail and caring for my well being. The permanent crown is now in place, it fits and feels fantastic, the job and treatment are first class! Thank you, Dr. Turke and staff for taking in this stray and giving me a home dentist! I'd like to say that I'm just good at selecting blindly, but the truth is I am very lucky..and I'll take lucky over being good any day of the week! Thank you, again and Happiest of New Year's in 2026, Science Smile!!

Interactive candidacy assessment
Are you a candidate for dental implants?
Walk through the same screening questions a real implant consult covers — bone, gum health, medical history, lifestyle — and we’ll tell you what tier you fall into and which treatment path fits your situation. Most patients finish in under three minutes.
- 10questions
- ~3minutes

- In-housesurgical team
Final candidacy is confirmed by a clinical exam and 3D imaging. This tool gives you the same screening framework a real consult uses, so you arrive informed and ready to ask the right questions.
Reference
The five candidacy tiers
Every implant consult places you into one of five candidacy tiers. The interactive tool above predicts your tier from your answers; a clinical exam confirms it.
Good Candidate, with Prep
A strong candidate after addressing one or two factors first — typically a deep cleaning for mild gum issues, a simple bone graft for minor bone loss, or stabilizing a medical condition.
Needs Bone Grafting First
The bone in the implant area has shrunk too much to support a standard implant directly. A bone graft (sometimes combined with a sinus lift) builds the site back up over 4–6 months, after which implants are placed normally.
Specialist Case (All-on-4 / Zygomatic)
Full-arch tooth replacement combined with severe bone loss. Specialty options like All-on-4, All-on-6, or zygomatic implants (anchored in the cheekbone) make implants possible when traditional placement isn't. Most general practices refer these out — Smile Science places them in-house.
Not the Right Next Step Right Now
A factor blocks implants safely right now — typically uncontrolled diabetes, IV bisphosphonates, recent head/neck radiation, active periodontitis, or being under 18. The right next step is a planning consult to identify the blocking factor and map out a path that resolves it.
Frequently Asked Questions
At Smile Science Dental Spa, All-on-6 starts at $14,999 per arch — the same price as All-on-4®. This is all-inclusive: implants, surgery, provisional bridge, and final restoration. The exact fee depends on materials selected, any additional bone management needed, and the number of arches being treated. A written treatment plan with full cost breakdown is provided after your free consultation and CBCT scan.
For most patients who qualify, yes. All-on-6 provides a fixed, non-removable full-arch restoration that functions like natural teeth. It preserves jawbone, restores chewing strength, and eliminates the inconvenience of removable dentures. Whether it is the right choice depends on your bone anatomy, bite force, and long-term goals — all of which we evaluate at your consultation.
Neither is universally better. All-on-4® uses four implants and may be preferred when bone support is adequate and surgery should be streamlined. All-on-6 uses six implants and is chosen for patients with wider arches, stronger bite forces, uneven bone distribution, or when maximum long-term stability is the goal. We determine the best approach using CBCT imaging and a full clinical evaluation — not a formula.
All-on-6 requires surgery and a healing period of 3–6 months. Implant failure is possible, especially with smoking or uncontrolled medical conditions. More implants mean a slightly longer surgical appointment. Cost is higher than removable denture options. Bone grafting may be needed in some cases. The provisional bridge may require minor adjustments during the healing phase. A thorough evaluation helps identify these risks before treatment begins.
The surgical appointment typically takes one to two hours per arch. Patients often leave the same day with a fixed provisional bridge. The full treatment process — from implant placement to final bridge delivery — spans approximately 3–6 months to allow proper osseointegration. Final prosthesis delivery requires two to three additional appointments.
Traditional Medicare does not cover dental implants. Some Medicare Advantage plans include limited dental benefits, but full-arch implant treatment is rarely covered. Most dental insurance plans also do not cover implants or provide only partial coverage for specific components. We recommend calling your insurer directly to confirm. We offer multiple financing options — including Cherry, Proceed Finance, Sunbit, and CareCredit — to make treatment affordable.
We offer full-contour zirconia, titanium-reinforced hybrid frameworks (zirconia or nano-ceramic over a titanium bar), and acrylic or PMMA hybrid options. The right material depends on your bite force, esthetic goals, bone support, and maintenance expectations. We review all options in detail during your design appointments and help you choose the prosthesis that best supports function and esthetics long term.
Bone loss does not automatically disqualify you. Many patients with significant bone loss qualify for All-on-6 using tilted implants, bone grafting, or advanced anchorage techniques such as zygomatic or pterygoid implants. Patients with strong bite forces often benefit specifically from six-implant support, as the added implants distribute force more evenly across the arch. A CBCT scan is required to determine your options.
Daily cleaning under the bridge with a water flosser and soft brush, plus professional maintenance every 3–4 months. At each maintenance visit, we check implant stability, tissue health, bite alignment, and prosthesis integrity. Wearing a night guard as prescribed and attending all scheduled visits protects your investment and helps implants last for decades.
Yes. We offer all levels of sedation — from oral conscious sedation to IV sedation and general anesthesia administered by a board-certified dental anesthesiologist. Most full-arch patients choose IV sedation for a calm, controlled experience. You will be monitored throughout and will not feel pain during the procedure. Sedation options are reviewed at your consultation based on your medical history and preferences.
Medical Review & Evidence
The patient education on this page is aligned with current literature on six-implant full-arch therapy, immediate loading protocols, and prosthetic material selection. Key findings from published research include:
- Six-implant full-arch restorations demonstrate favorable long-term implant and prosthesis survival rates, with wider force distribution reducing per-implant stress compared to four-implant designs.[1,2]
- Immediate-function full-arch protocols (same-day provisional placement) show outcomes comparable to delayed loading when primary implant stability is verified at surgery.[3]
- Full-contour zirconia prostheses exhibit high fracture resistance and esthetic longevity in full-arch implant applications at medium- and long-term follow-up.[4]
- Long-term implant success is significantly associated with consistent professional maintenance at 3–6 month intervals and patient compliance with home hygiene protocols.[5]

Our Implant Warranty
Real Protection, Not Hype
You've probably seen other implant centers advertising "lifetime warranties." The reality is that those promises often sound better than they actually are. Dental implants can last many years, but they are medical devices that require ongoing care, and no one can guarantee a prosthesis for life.
We prefer to be clear and honest with you up front.
| What’s Covered | How Long | What it Means | Your Part |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implant Fixture (the titanium implant in bone) | 10 years | If the implant fails under normal use, we will replace the fixture. | Regular hygiene visits, good home care, proper nightguard use, no nicotine use, and follow your maintenance plan. |
| Prosthetic Restoration (bridge, full arch, or crown) | 5 years | Covers fractures or failures under normal use. We'll repair or replace as needed. | Routine scheduled checks, report issues early, wear a night guard as prescribed. |
| Surgical Complications | 3 years | If a fixture fails early despite proper healing, we'll replace it at no fee. | Follow post-op instructions and attend follow-up appointments. |
Why we don’t say “lifetime warranty”
- No dental prosthesis lasts forever without maintenance.
- Most “lifetime” promises exclude common causes of failure.
- If a clinic is sold or closes, those warranties typically disappear.
- Because trust matters. We believe being honest and transparent with our patients is the foundation of a long-term relationship built on real care, not marketing tactics.
Our approach
- Clear coverage and responsibilities.
- No hidden fine print.
- The same high standard of care years after treatment.
Bottom Line
You deserve a warranty that’s clear, not just clever wording. We choose transparency over marketing gimmicks, so you know exactly what’s covered, how long it’s covered, and what’s expected to keep it valid. Our patients trust us because we make straightforward promises and keep them.
