Six-implant full-arch concept · Bavdhan, Pune
All-on-6 Dental Implants
in Bavdhan, Pune
All-on-6 describes a fixed complete-arch bridge supported by six dental implants in one jaw. At Hi Smile Dental Clinic in Bavdhan, Dr. Sagar Borse first reviews remaining teeth, gum health, bone distribution, bite, facial support and cleaning access. Six implants can provide a different support pattern from four implants, but the number alone does not determine whether the plan is suitable.

Quick answer
What are All-on-6 dental implants?
All-on-6 supports a full arch of fixed teeth on six implants, which can spread chewing load more widely than four. Whether it suits you depends on your bone, gums and bite. At Hi Smile Dental Clinic in Bavdhan, Pune, Dr. Sagar Borse examines these first and explains the options.
The six implants are distributed according to available bone and the proposed restoration. Their position, angulation and spacing matter more than simply reaching a particular number.
All-on-6 is not the only complete-arch option. Four-implant concepts, other fixed distributions, implant overdentures and conventional dentures should be compared when relevant.
Individual assessment
Who may consider All-on-6 dental implants in Bavdhan?
Assessment may be appropriate for a fully edentulous jaw or when most remaining teeth in one arch have a poor prognosis and a fixed replacement is a clear goal. The prognosis and treatment options for each tooth should be documented before extraction.
Medical conditions, smoking, diabetes control, medicines, gum disease, oral hygiene, available bone and bite affect suitability. The patient must be able to clean beneath a full-arch bridge and attend long-term maintenance.
Implant distribution
How do All-on-6 and All-on-4 dental implants differ?
Both concepts support a complete fixed arch. All-on-6 uses six implants, while All-on-4 uses four. Additional implants can change load distribution and restorative options, but they also require suitable bone, spacing and surgical access.
A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis reported broadly high implant survival for both approaches, but study designs, follow-up and patient selection vary. Implant count should follow the restorative and anatomical plan rather than a marketing label.
Complete-arch choices
Which alternatives to All-on-6 may be discussed?
Different fixed distribution
A four-implant or another full-arch design may better match the anatomy and repair strategy.
Implant overdenture
A removable restoration may replace more lost gum volume and can simplify some cleaning tasks.
Conventional denture
A complete denture avoids implant surgery and remains a reasonable option for selected patients.
Restoration-led design
How are All-on-6 dental implants planned?
Planning records proposed tooth position, smile line, lip support, speech, bite and restorative space before implant locations are finalised. Indicated three-dimensional imaging evaluates bone and nearby anatomical structures.
The six positions need adequate separation and a cleansable bridge contour. The opposing arch, bite forces and any parafunctional habits influence material choice and the provisional and definitive designs.
Treatment sequence
What happens during All-on-6 dental implant treatment?
Diagnosis
Health, tooth prognosis, anatomy and alternatives are reviewed.
Bridge planning
The planned teeth and bite guide the six implant positions.
Surgical stage
Extractions, grafting and implant placement are sequenced as indicated.
Loading decision
Stability and risk determine whether an early provisional bridge is suitable.
Definitive stage
Fit, bite, speech, appearance and cleaning access are checked.
Provisional treatment
Are fixed teeth fitted immediately with All-on-6?
Not automatically. Immediate provisional loading requires adequate stability across the implant distribution, a controlled bite and a restoration designed to protect healing. The decision is confirmed at surgery.
When those conditions are not met, delayed loading may reduce risk. An immediate bridge is usually provisional and requires dietary and cleaning instructions before the definitive restoration is made.
Already have a treatment plan from another dentist?
Bring your X-rays, reports and the plan you were given. Dr. Sagar Borse will go through them with you, explain what they show and what he would check again, and discuss other options for All-on-6 dental implants.
Protect the full arch
How are All-on-6 dental implants cleaned?
Brush the bridge and clean the gum-facing surface around every implant using suitable interdental brushes, floss threaders, irrigation or another advised aid. The contours should permit access without injuring the tissues.
Reviews assess plaque, bleeding, bone, bite, screws and restorative materials. Professional removal may sometimes be needed for inspection or repair. Movement, chipping, persistent bleeding or pain should be checked promptly.
Informed consent
What are the risks and limits of All-on-6 treatment?
Surgical risks include infection, delayed integration and site-specific nerve or sinus complications. Biological problems include peri-implant inflammation and bone loss. Screws, teeth or bridge materials can loosen, wear, chip or fracture.
Six implants do not promise complication-free treatment. A compromised implant can affect the connected bridge, and more implants also create more sites that require cleaning and monitoring.
What to expect
What happens at an All-on-6 consultation?
At Hi Smile Dental Clinic, Dr. Sagar reviews why teeth are missing or failing, which teeth may still be maintainable and how the upper and lower arches meet. Existing dentures and patient priorities help define the restorative goal.
The discussion compares fixed and removable approaches, likely records, provisional teeth and maintenance. A final implant count follows examination and indicated imaging.

About Dr. Sagar BorsePatient information
Common patient questions in Bavdhan
Does All-on-6 mean six implants for the whole mouth?
No. Six implants generally refer to one complete arch. The upper and lower jaws need separate assessment and may receive different designs.
Is All-on-6 always better than All-on-4?
No. Suitability depends on bone, implant distribution, restorative space, bite, hygiene and repair strategy. A higher implant count is not automatically better.
Will I receive a bridge on the day of surgery?
An immediate provisional bridge is possible only when implant stability, distribution, bite and clinical risk permit. Delayed loading may be recommended.
Is the first bridge the final bridge?
Usually not. An early bridge is provisional. The definitive bridge follows healing, review and updated restorative records.
Does All-on-6 avoid bone grafting?
Not always. Grafting depends on available bone and the implant positions required by the restoration. Another design may sometimes reduce augmentation.
How do I clean beneath the bridge?
Use the brushes, threaders or irrigation aids selected for the bridge contours and clean around every implant each day.
Can an All-on-6 bridge need repairs?
Yes. Teeth, surfaces, screws and other components can loosen, wear, chip or fracture and may need professional repair.
What should be reviewed long term?
Reviews assess the gums, bone, plaque control, bite, implant stability, screws and restorative materials.
