What Are All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are advanced dental implant solutions designed to replace a full arch of missing teeth using just four or six strategically placed implants. These implants support a fixed, full-arch bridge or denture — giving you a stable, natural-looking smile that stays in place.
Unlike traditional dentures, these implant-supported restorations are fixed in your mouth. You don't need to remove them for cleaning, and they won't slip or click while you eat or speak.
The Life-Changing Benefits of Fixed Implants
Eat Without Worry
Enjoy your favourite foods again. Implants provide the strength and stability to bite and chew naturally.
Smile with Confidence
Your new teeth look, feel, and function like natural teeth — no more hiding your smile.
Preserve Bone Health
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining your facial structure.
Speak with Ease
No more denture clicks or slips. Speak clearly and confidently in any situation.
Long-Lasting Solution
With proper care, All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants can last a lifetime.
Improved Quality of Life
Say goodbye to denture inconveniences and hello to a life without compromises.
All-on-4 vs. All-on-6: Which Is Right for You?
Both options provide a fixed, full-arch restoration. The main difference is the number of implants used and the level of support they provide.
🦷 All-on-4
Best for: Patients looking for a cost-effective, faster solution with good bone density.
How it works: Four implants are strategically placed — two at the front and two at an angle in the back — to maximise support using available bone.
Ideal for:
- Patients with moderate bone loss
- Those seeking a faster treatment timeline
- Patients looking for a more affordable fixed solution
🦷 All-on-6
Best for: Patients who need extra stability and support for their bite.
How it works: Six implants are placed along the jaw — two at the front, two in the middle, and two at the back — providing greater stability and distributing chewing forces more evenly.
Ideal for:
- Patients with heavier bites or teeth grinding habits
- Those with thinner bone who need additional support
- Patients seeking maximum long-term durability
The All-on-4 / All-on-6 Procedure
At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we combine advanced technology with a gentle, patient-focused approach to ensure your implant journey is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
We understand that dental surgery can be daunting. That's why we offer IV sedation for All-on-4 and All-on-6 procedures. You'll be completely relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure — many patients have little to no memory of the surgery afterwards.
Step-by-Step Process
🩻 Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation & 3D Imaging
We use advanced CBCT scanning to assess your bone density, sinus position, and jaw structure. This allows for precise treatment planning and optimal implant placement.
📐 Step 2: Customised Surgical Guide
Using your CBCT scan, we create a surgical guide to ensure implants are placed with pinpoint accuracy. This minimises the risk of complications and promotes faster healing.
🔧 Step 3: Implant Placement
Under local anaesthesia (and IV sedation if desired), Dr. Lisa Chong places the implants into your jawbone. Keyhole surgery techniques minimise trauma for a more comfortable recovery.
🦷 Step 4: Temporary Bridge
In many cases, we can attach a temporary fixed bridge on the same day, so you leave with a functional, natural-looking smile.
⏳ Step 5: Healing Period
Your implants need time to fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration). This typically takes 3–6 months. During this time, you'll wear a temporary restoration.
✨ Step 6: Final Restoration
Once your implants are fully healed and integrated, we attach your permanent, custom-crafted bridge. Your new smile is now complete and ready to last.
Do You Need a Bone Graft?
In some cases, patients don't have enough bone to support dental implants. Bone grafting is a common and highly effective solution.
Bone grafting may be recommended if:
- Insufficient Bone Volume: If your jawbone lacks the density or height needed for implants, bone grafting can build it up.
- Sinus Issues: For upper jaw implants, a sinus lift may be performed to create more space.
- Recent Tooth Extractions: Bone grafting can preserve the socket and prepare it for future implant placement.
Dr. Lisa Chong has extensive experience with bone grafting and sinus lifts, ensuring even complex cases can be successfully treated.
