All-on-6 Implants Near You for a Stronger Full-Arch Foundation
When most or all teeth in an arch are missing or cannot be predictably maintained, replacing each tooth individually isn't always the most practical approach. All-on-6 dental implants at Progressive Dental Arts use six strategically placed implants to support a full-arch restoration in appropriately selected patients. Serving Newark, Christiana, and Pike Creek, DE, the treatment provides an implant-supported approach to rebuilding an entire arch while taking your jaw structure and individual dental needs into account.
How All-on-6 Dental Implants Work
All-on-6 treatment uses six dental implants as anchors for a complete arch of replacement teeth. The implants are placed within the jawbone and provide the foundation for a fixed full-arch prosthesis.
Before treatment, your dentist evaluates the condition of your teeth, gums, jawbone, bite, and supporting structures. Dental imaging can help assess available bone and identify anatomical factors that influence implant placement.
For patients with remaining teeth that are severely damaged or no longer predictable to maintain, extraction may be incorporated into the overall treatment plan. The implants are then placed according to the surgical plan, followed by healing and integration with the surrounding bone. The final restoration is completed once the appropriate stage of healing has been reached.

Strategic Implant Placement for Full-Arch Restorations
The six implants are positioned strategically rather than simply distributed beneath each replacement tooth. Their location and angulation depend on your individual anatomy and the design of the planned restoration.
Dr. Rodney Kryzhanovskiy, D.M.D. and Dr. Lavinia Wu, D.M.D. can assess your oral health and discuss whether All-on-6, another implant-supported solution, or a different full-arch replacement option is appropriate for you.
Why Choose All-on-6 Implants?
A full-arch restoration can be supported by different implant configurations. For patients with suitable anatomy, using six implants can provide multiple points of support for the replacement arch.
Compared with conventional dentures, which rest primarily on the gums, an implant-supported restoration is anchored to implants within the jaw. This can provide a more stable foundation during normal chewing and speaking.
All-on-6 isn't automatically the right choice simply because more implants are being used. Bone availability, gum health, bite forces, existing dental conditions, and restoration requirements all need to be considered when determining the most appropriate treatment design.

All-on-6 Dental Implants FAQ's

Yes. An All-on-6 restoration is designed to replace an entire upper or lower arch rather than replacing each missing tooth with an individual implant.
Candidates need adequate conditions for implant treatment, including suitable jawbone and healthy or appropriately treated oral tissues. A clinical examination and dental imaging are necessary to determine candidacy.
The final full-arch restoration is designed to remain fixed in place and is not intended to be removed by the patient for routine daily activities.
