About

What Is All-on-6 Dental Implant Treatment?

A full-arch restoration on six implants — more support points than All-on-4.

All-on-6 places six implants in the jaw to support a single continuous full-arch bridge. More anchor points distribute bite force more evenly than All-on-4, and the extra implants provide additional backup if one ever fails over time.

Metro Dental’s licensed 3-on-6™ protocol uses the same six-implant count but replaces the single continuous bridge with three separable porcelain bridges — making individual repair possible without rebuilding the full arch. At consultation, Dr. Fedorenko or Dr. Ford reviews both options with you so you can choose the right fit.

Why Patients Choose All-on-6

  • More implants than All-on-4 | 6 anchor points distribute bite force more evenly across the arch.
  • Redundancy if one fails | Extra implants act as backup support over time.
  • Fixed, non-removable teeth | Screw-retained bridge — no adhesives, no removal, no slipping.
  • Often same-day temporary | A temporary bridge can often go in on surgery day.
  • Implant-focused care | Implant placement and gum care performed in-house by Dr. Fedorenko and Dr. Ford.
  • Financing available | CareCredit + Proceed Finance + in-house plans for any case size.

Insurance We Work With

Honest note about the "$399" and "$1,000 dental implant" ads you'll see elsewhere: those prices are almost always for a single implant post — not the abutment, not the crown, not the preparatory work (extractions, bone grafts, sinus lifts). A complete tooth replacement is a multi-component treatment.

At Metro Dental, every estimate is written down with line-item pricing before we begin — so you know exactly what you're paying for, and why. If someone else quotes you a single number that sounds too good to be true, ask them what's included. That's the honest way to compare.

FAQ

Answers About All-on-6 Implants

All-on-6 uses 6 implants instead of 4 — broader bite-force distribution and redundancy if one ever fails. Both use a single continuous bridge.

Both use 6 implants. 3-on-6™ replaces the single continuous bridge with three separable bridges, so individual sections can be repaired without rebuilding the full arch.

Pricing depends on bone condition and preparatory work. You receive a written estimate before any treatment begins.

In most cases yes — a temporary bridge is placed the same day. Final bridges are placed 3–6 months later.

With proper care, implants themselves often last 20+ years. The bridge is maintained or replaced over that period.

Sometimes — your CBCT scan at consultation answers this definitively. If grafting is needed, we plan it as part of the treatment path.

With All-on-6, the remaining 5 implants provide support while the failed implant is replaced. With the single-bridge design, some bridge rework may be needed.

Next Step

Six Implants, Right Protocol

All-on-6 and our licensed 3-on-6™ protocol both use six implants — but the bridge design differs. At consultation, Dr. Fedorenko or Dr. Ford walks you through the tradeoffs so you pick the right long-term fit.
