The All-on-6 is a variation of the All-on-4 technique based on the same concept but instead of four, it uses six implants that are placed in areas of the mouth with the highest bone volume. This treatment is designed for patients with enough bone structure and is an alternative to traditional dental implants because it maximises bone potential.
