For patients seeking maximum stability, strength, and durability in a full-arch restoration, All-on-6 dental implants represent the premier standard. Similar to the All-on-4 protocol, this advanced technique replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth. However, by utilizing six strategically positioned dental implants instead of four, it provides additional structural support and distributes biting and chewing forces more evenly across the jawbone. Dr. José Moguel, a leading board-certified periodontist in Los Algodones, Mexico, specializes in this high-stability technique, utilizing European and US-grade titanium implants to deliver outstanding results.
The placement of six implants is highly recommended for patients who have a stronger bite, wider jaw structure, or sufficient bone density to support the additional posts. By spreading the load across six points, the All-on-6 protocol reduces the stress on each individual implant and the surrounding bone, which can contribute to greater longevity and reduced risk of implant failure. It also provides an incredibly robust foundation for a fixed zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal bridge, allowing patients to enjoy their favorite foods, including tough meats and crunchy vegetables, without any worry.
In Mexico, Dr. Moguel utilizes advanced digital surgical guides and 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to map out the exact position, depth, and angle for each of the six implants. This ensures optimal bone-to-implant contact and minimizes surgical risks. While the cost of All-on-6 implants is slightly higher than All-on-4 due to the additional implants and components, patients traveling to our Los Algodones clinic still save up to 60% compared to the prices in the United States and Canada.
An All-on-6 restoration behaves exactly like natural teeth. It does not require messy adhesives, never slips out, and is brushed and cared for just like your original smile. By restoring the natural stimulation of the jawbone, All-on-6 prevents the bone resorption and subsequent facial sagging associated with traditional dentures. This keeps you looking youthful, healthy, and fully functional for years to come.
