All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implants are two of the most effective full-arch restoration options for people who have lost multiple teeth. This guide explains the differences, benefits, costs, ideal candidates, and why Worldwide Dental Hospital is a trusted destination for full-mouth implant treatment in Vietnam.

Understanding Full-Arch Implant Solutions

Why Full-Arch Implants Are Growing in Popularity

Many patients who suffer from complete tooth loss or severe dental problems look for a permanent solution that restores both function and aesthetics. Traditional dentures are affordable, but they are often unstable, uncomfortable, and less natural in appearance. Full-arch implant systems, such as All-on-4 and All-on-6, provide a fixed, long-lasting alternative that feels remarkably close to natural teeth.

What Are Full-Arch Implant Bridges?

Instead of replacing each missing tooth individually, full-arch implant systems support an entire row of teeth using just 4 or 6 strategically placed implants. This approach allows patients to chew better, smile confidently, and maintain healthy bone structure without the discomfort of removable dentures.

What Is the All-on-4 Implant System?

How All-on-4 Works

The All-on-4 concept uses four implants placed in specific angles to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Two implants are placed vertically at the front of the jaw, and two are inserted at an angle at the back to maximize bone contact.

Advantages of All-on-4

Fewer Implants Required
Only four implants are needed, making the procedure less invasive and reducing overall cost.
Suitable for Patients With Low Bone Density
The angled back implants often reduce the need for bone grafting.
Faster Treatment
Many patients can receive a temporary fixed bridge within 24–72 hours.
More Affordable
Since it uses fewer implants, the All-on-4 system typically costs less than All-on-6.

Limitations of All-on-4

Less Support Compared to All-on-6
With only four implants, the distribution of chewing force is more limited.
Not Ideal for Severe Bite Forces
Patients with strong clenching or grinding habits may need more implants for stability.
Less Suitable for Severe Bone Loss
Although angled implants help, patients with extreme bone resorption may still require additional procedures.

The All-on-4 method uses four strategically placed implants, making it ideal for patients with reduced bone density or those seeking a faster, more cost-efficient option.

What Is the All-on-6 Implant System?

How All-on-6 Works

The All-on-6 solution uses six implants placed across the jawbone. This increases stability, distributes bite pressure more evenly, and provides a stronger foundation for the final bridge.

Advantages of All-on-6

Greater Stability and Strength
Six implants offer more balanced support, especially for long-span bridges.
Better Long-Term Durability
More implants mean better load distribution, reducing the risk of implant overload.
Ideal for Patients With Adequate Bone Density
Patients with healthy bone levels benefit from increased implant contact and improved function.
Higher Chewing Efficiency
The additional implants allow for stronger bite force and better chewing performance.

Limitations of All-on-6

Higher Cost
More implants result in a higher total treatment fee.
May Require Bone Grafting
Patients with insufficient bone may need sinus lift or grafting before placing additional implants.
Slightly Longer Surgical Time
Placing six implants requires more precision and time compared to four.

All-on-6 provides additional stability by placing six implants, offering stronger biting force, better long-term support, and a more evenly distributed load across the jaw.

Key Differences Between All-on-4 and All-on-6

Number of Implants

All-on-4: Four implants
All-on-6: Six implants

The additional implants in All-on-6 provide enhanced stability.

Stability and Load Distribution

All-on-6 distributes the biting force more evenly across the jaw, reducing the risk of overload and complications.

Bone Requirements

All-on-4 is often recommended for patients with reduced bone density because the angled implants compensate for bone loss. All-on-6 requires more bone support.

Longevity

While both systems can last decades, All-on-6 generally provides greater long-term predictability thanks to better load sharing.

Treatment Cost

All-on-6 is more expensive due to the additional implants and potential need for grafting.

Which Treatment Is Right for You?

All-on-4 May Be Best If You:

Have moderate bone loss
Want to avoid bone grafting
Prefer a lower-cost full-arch solution
Need a faster treatment timeline
Are looking for a minimally invasive option

All-on-6 May Be Best If You:

Want maximum stability and longevity
Have sufficient bone volume
Want the highest level of chewing function
Prefer a more durable and robust structure
Want better long-term implant distribution

Worldwide Dental Hospital provides full diagnostic evaluations—including CBCT imaging—to determine the safest and most predictable option for each patient.

At Worldwide Dental Hospital, 3D CT scans and digital planning are used to assess bone quality and determine which option provides the safest and most predictable outcome for each patient.

Step-by-Step Procedure for Both All-on-4 and All-on-6

Step 1: Consultation and Diagnostic Imaging

Full oral examination
CBCT scan to assess bone structure
Bite evaluation and digital treatment simulation
Discussion of options and expected outcomes

Step 2: Treatment Planning

The dental team creates a detailed plan that includes implant positions, bone support, and prosthetic design. Digital planning reduces surgical risk and improves accuracy.

Step 3: Implant Placement Surgery

Local anesthesia or sedation
Removal of damaged teeth (if needed)
Placement of 4 or 6 implants
Immediate placement of a temporary bridge (when applicable)

Step 4: Osseointegration

Implants fuse with the bone over 3–6 months. Patients receive instructions on dietary care, oral hygiene, and follow-up visits.

Step 5: Final Prosthetic Placement

After healing, the final bridge is designed using premium materials such as zirconia or hybrid ceramic for maximum strength and aesthetics.
