Are you struggling with the discomfort and insecurity of missing most or all of your teeth? Traditional dentures can be unstable, making it difficult to eat and speak with confidence. All-On-6 dental implants offer a revolutionary, permanent solution for a full arch restoration. At Mathew Dental Group in Smithtown, NY, Dr. Bilu Mathew utilizes his advanced surgical training to provide this life-changing procedure. If you’re looking for a stable, natural-feeling alternative to dentures, this guide will explain everything you need to know about the All-On-6 procedure, its benefits, and the cost of All-On-6 dental implants.
What Are All-On-6 Dental Implants?
All-On-6 dental implants are an advanced tooth replacement technique that uses six strategically placed dental implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This innovative approach provides a fixed, non-removable solution that feels and functions like natural teeth. Unlike dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort, the All-On-6 implants are securely anchored to your jawbone, offering unparalleled stability.
How the All-On-6 Procedure Works?
The process involves the surgical placement of six titanium implants into the jawbone. These implants act as artificial tooth roots. After a healing period where the implants fuse with the bone, a custom-crafted bridge of teeth is permanently attached. This bridge is designed to match the shape and color of your natural smile, providing a seamless and aesthetic result.
Key Benefits of All-On-6 Implants
Choosing All-On-6 dental implants offers a significant improvement in quality of life:
- Permanent & Fixed Solution: No more worries about slipping or removing dentures.
- Restores Full Functionality: Enjoy your favorite foods, speak clearly, and laugh without hesitation.
- Preserves Jawbone Health: The implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs with tooth loss.
- Natural-Looking Smile: Achieve a beautiful, confident smile that looks completely authentic.
Am I a Good Candidate for All-On-6 Implants?
If you are facing the prospect of dentures or are struggling with a mouthful of damaged, decayed, or missing teeth, the All-On-6 procedure can be a life-changing solution. This advanced treatment provides a permanent, full-arch restoration that feels and functions like natural teeth.
You may be an excellent candidate for All-On-6 implants if:
- You are missing most or all of your teeth in one or both arches.
- You wear traditional dentures and are frustrated with slipping, discomfort, or dietary restrictions.
- You are looking for a permanent, non-removable tooth replacement option.
- You have experienced significant jawbone loss and want to avoid or are not a candidate for complex bone grafting, often required by other implant methods.
- You are in good general health and do not have uncontrolled periodontal disease.
- You are a non-smoker or are willing to stop to ensure optimal healing.
- You desire a long-term, stable solution to restore your smile, eating ability, and facial structure.
The All-On-6 technique is specifically engineered to maximize existing bone, making it a viable option for many patients who have been told they don’t have enough bone for implants. The only way to know for sure is with a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Mathew will use advanced 3D imaging to assess your unique anatomy and determine if All-On-6 is the best way to reclaim your smile and quality of life.

FAQ
What’s the difference between All-On-6 and All-On-4 implants?
All-On-6 uses six implants per arch, while All-On-4 uses four. The two additional implants in the All-On-6 procedure can provide greater stability and distribution of force, which can benefit long-term success, especially in cases with less bone density.
What if I don’t have enough bone for implants?
Dr. Mathew is highly skilled in bone grafting and sinus lift procedures, which can often create the necessary foundation for implants.
How do I care for my All-On-6 implants?
Care involves brushing around the implants and using specialized tools like water flossers or superfloss to keep the area under the bridge clean. Regular professional cleanings are essential.
When can I eat normally?
After a brief period of eating soft foods, you will gradually be able to return to a normal diet, enjoying a wide variety of foods with confidence.
How long do All-On-6 implants last?
The implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime. The prosthetic bridge may need replacement due to wear and tear after 15-20 years, depending on your oral hygiene and habits.
