What is the direct answer?

All-on-6 uses six dental implants in one jaw to support a full-arch prosthesis when bone, gums, bite, and general health allow that plan.

What does this question mean?

Each implant is a biocompatible fixture in jawbone; after healing, abutments connect it to a bridge of artificial teeth. Imaging assesses bone and anatomy.

What can you do next?

Planning may include disease control, implant placement, a temporary bridge, healing reviews, and a definitive prosthesis. Clean around implants as instructed.

When should you seek dental care?

Seek care for persistent pain, swelling, bleeding, mobility, a loose bridge, altered bite, or difficulty cleaning; spreading swelling needs urgent care.

What should you ask the dentist?

Ask why six implants are recommended, whether teeth can be preserved, what imaging is needed, and which temporary and final prostheses are planned.

Frequently asked questions

Is it six separate crowns?

No. It is usually one full-arch prosthesis supported by several implants.

What determines suitability?

Bone, gum health, remaining teeth, bite, hygiene, medical history, and the planned prosthesis matter.
