Advanced Full Arch Restoration
All-on-6 Dental Implants London
Six strategically placed implants. Maximum stability, superior bite distribution and a natural chewing experience. All-on-6 is the preferred full-arch solution for patients with sufficient bone volume who want the strongest possible foundation.
What Is All-on-6?
Six Implants. Exceptional Stability.
All-on-6 is an advanced full-arch implant technique designed for patients who have lost all their teeth but retain sufficient jawbone volume to support six implants. Unlike All-on-4, which uses angled placement to compensate for bone loss, All-on-6 implants are placed vertically throughout the jaw — providing the maximum possible distribution of bite force and long-term structural stability.
The additional two implants compared to All-on-4 provide greater surface contact with the bone, reduce the load on each individual implant and support a more natural chewing experience. For patients with healthy bone volume, All-on-6 represents the gold standard in fixed full-arch restoration.
A temporary fixed prosthesis is placed within 48 hours of surgery. You leave the clinic with teeth — and you are never without them at any point during treatment.

Key Advantage vs All-on-4
Superior Strength & Stability
Six vertical implants distribute bite force more evenly across the entire arch, reducing the mechanical load on each implant and providing a more naturally balanced chewing experience.
For patients with sufficient bone volume, All-on-6 offers a stronger and more durable foundation than All-on-4 — and is the recommended choice where bone health permits.

FAQ
Common Questions
What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
All-on-6 uses six vertically placed implants compared to four in All-on-4. This provides greater bite force distribution, superior long-term stability and a more natural chewing experience. All-on-6 is recommended for patients with sufficient bone volume, while All-on-4 is better suited to those with significant bone loss.How much does All-on-6 cost in London?
At DentAkademi London, All-on-6 starts from £11,000 per arch, carried out entirely by our specialist implant team. A full written treatment plan with itemised costs is provided before any surgery begins, and 0% finance options are available.Do I need bone grafting for All-on-6?
All-on-6 requires adequate bone volume, as all six implants are placed vertically. Where sufficient bone exists, no grafting is needed. If bone volume is insufficient, your surgeon may recommend All-on-4 instead, which uses angled placement to work around reduced bone density.How long does All-on-6 treatment take?
Implant surgery takes place on day one, and a temporary fixed prosthesis is placed within 48 hours. After approximately three months of osseointegration, the permanent zirconia prosthesis is fitted. You are never without teeth at any stage of treatment.Is All-on-6 surgery painful?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia. Sedation or general anaesthesia is available for anxious patients. Most patients report manageable discomfort for 2–3 days post-surgery, controlled with standard pain relief.
