All-on-4 vs All-on-6 Comparison Tool

Four questions about your jaw, your priorities and your bite, and the tool shows which full-arch plan is usually recommended — with the trade-offs written out rather than hidden.

A comparison, not a prescription. The number of implants your jaw can carry is decided from a CT scan, not from a questionnaire.

How to read the result

  • The recommendation is a tendency, not a verdict: many people are suitable for both, and then the choice is genuinely about budget and how much redundancy you want.
  • Upper jaws lean towards six implants more often than lower jaws, because the bone is softer and the bite forces are carried differently.
  • If you grind your teeth, treat that as the strongest single argument for more implants — and tell the clinic before, not after.

Frequently asked questions

What is the real difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

Two implants and how the load is shared. All-on-4 places four implants per jaw, tilting the two at the back so they anchor in bone that is still solid and grafting can often be avoided. All-on-6 spreads six implants across the arch, which distributes chewing force over more anchor points and gives the bridge a margin of safety. Both carry a full fixed arch of teeth and both are usually loaded with temporary teeth the same day; the difference shows up over years rather than weeks.

Is All-on-6 worth the extra cost?

It depends on two things you can answer honestly: how much bone you have and how hard you bite. If a scan shows good bone across the arch, if you grind your teeth, or if you are treating the upper jaw where bone is softer, the extra implants buy real redundancy — one failure does not end the case. If bone is limited and the alternative is a graft that adds months and cost, All-on-4 exists precisely for that situation and has decades of published follow-up behind it.

Can I decide this before I travel?

You can narrow it, but not settle it. A clinic can give you an indicative plan from a panoramic X-ray you already have, and that is enough to compare quotes. The final number of implants is decided from a CT scan and, occasionally, in the operating room when the surgeon sees the actual bone quality. Ask any clinic quoting you what happens to the price if the plan changes on the day — a straight answer to that question tells you a lot.
