All-on-6

A six-implant full-arch approach when anatomy, bone and restorative planning support it.

Treatment names describe the range of options; the final indication is only confirmed after clinical assessment and diagnosis.

FROM TREATMENT NAME TO INDICATION

Start with the condition, not the technique name.

A six-implant full-arch approach when anatomy, bone and restorative planning support it.

DIAGNOSIS BEFORE INDICATION

What does a clinician assess before deciding?

Records are chosen to answer the clinical questions of the individual case; not every patient requires the same imaging, scan or procedure.

01

Location and number of missing teeth

02

Bone volume and soft tissue

03

Bite and functional loading

04

Condition of remaining teeth

05

Medical history and healing considerations

METHOD & DECISION LOGIC

A sound plan is made by how decisions are reached.

These are clinical decision branches, not a menu for self-prescribing treatment.

01

Six is not automatically better

Value depends on implant positions and prosthetic design, not count alone.

02

Distribution

Additional implants may improve support when anatomy allows useful positions.

03

Prosthesis design

One-piece vs segmented design follows passive fit and maintenance needs.

04

Loading protocol

Immediate, early or conventional loading follows stability and risk.

CLINICAL DECISION STANDARDS

Evidence before technology. Responsibility before speed.

Four principles help keep the plan consistent from diagnosis through maintenance.

Restorative-driven planning

The intended final tooth position should guide implant position, not bone availability alone.

3D anatomy

Bone, soft tissue and nearby anatomical structures can change the plan.

Conditional loading

Immediate or early loading is considered only when case-selection and stability criteria are met.

Maintenance

Hygiene access, occlusion and peri-implant review are part of treatment.

CLINICIANS & CREDENTIALS

Implant clinical leadership

Implant planning combines restorative and surgical responsibility. Win Smile publicly identifies Dr. Dinh Dinh Duc as the principal implant/surgery clinician and Medical Director.

RECORDS & TECHNOLOGY

Technology supports the decision — it does not replace the clinician.

Technology is explained by its clinical value rather than by machine names alone.

CBCT when indicated

Supports 3D assessment of bone and anatomical structures.

Intraoral scan

Connects surface anatomy and restorative design.

Guided surgery when appropriate

An adjunct to diagnosis and planning, not a replacement for clinical judgement.

Restorative records

Photos, bite and prosthetic set-up connect surgery to the final restoration.

CLINICAL CASE FRAMEWORKS

The same service can require a very different plan.

These case frameworks illustrate decision logic and are not presented as real patient records unless verified.

01

More bone available than All-on-4 needs

When anatomy allows useful implant positions beyond four, additional support can be added — but only when it genuinely improves the plan.

02

A wider arch needing extra support

Some jaw shapes distribute bite force in a way that benefits from two more implants than the standard four.

03

A patient wanting a one-piece, low-maintenance design

Fewer segments in the final prosthesis can simplify cleaning, though this depends on implant position and passive fit.

LONG-TERM PLAN

Treatment does not end on the day it is finished.

  • Maintain hygiene and risk-based reviews
  • Monitor bite, tissues and restorations/appliances according to treatment type
  • Keep records for long-term comparison
  • Seek review early when new symptoms or changes appear

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I choose the technique before an assessment?

You can research options, but a clinician needs to diagnose the condition before confirming a suitable and safe plan.

Can I have a pre-travel consultation?

Yes. Photos and records can support preliminary discussion; final indication still requires in-person assessment.

Is the treatment timeline fixed?

No. Timing depends on complexity, biological response and the stages required.

How is cost determined?

Cost should be estimated after understanding treatment scope, materials, number of stages and any specialist coordination.

Who makes the final clinical decision?

The treating clinician is responsible for diagnosis and indication; aesthetic experts and technology support rather than replace clinical responsibility.

What can change the plan?

Diagnostic records, tissue condition, bite, prognosis, biological response and medical factors.

What should I ask about risk?

Ask about case-specific risks, limitations, alternatives, warning signs and maintenance.

Do the scientific sources mean Win Smile is certified by those organisations?

No. They are scientific reference sources; individual credentials are listed only when published by Win Smile.

Is All-on-6 always better than All-on-4?

Not automatically. More implants can help in cases with suitable anatomy, but the right number depends on individual bone structure and prosthetic design, not a fixed rule.

Why would I need 6 implants instead of 4?

This depends on how your bite force is distributed and how much bone is available in useful positions. Not every patient benefits from the extra implants.

Does a one-piece prosthesis need different care than a segmented one?

Cleaning technique can differ slightly, and your dentist will show you the right approach based on your specific final design.
