How All-on-4 and All-on-6 Work
All-on-4 uses just 4 implants to support a full arch restoration, a cost-effective solution for replacing an entire set of teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. For patients who need additional support, All-on-6 uses 6 implants for the same full arch approach, which your implant surgeon may recommend depending on your bone density and the number of teeth being replaced. Both options provide a stable, fixed solution for complete tooth loss in an arch, rather than a removable denture.
Your Planning and Treatment Timeline
Assessment and Imaging
A full exam and imaging to assess your remaining teeth, gums, and jawbone across the arch being treated.
Treatment Planning
Your implant surgeon confirms whether All-on-4 or All-on-6 suits your case, and whether any teeth need to be removed first.
Implant Placement
Done under local anaesthetic, your implants are placed to anchor the full arch restoration.
Healing
The implants fuse with your jawbone, timeline depends on your case, generally a few months.
Restoration
Your final fixed restoration is fitted once healing is confirmed.
Long Term Maintenance
Regular check-ups, the same care your natural teeth need, to protect your investment in the long term.
Why Choose Smiline for Full Arch Restoration
Full arch cases are led by our implant team, headed by Dr. Sunitha Nalluri, Founder and Implant Surgeon, working with our in-house restorative and maintenance team so your case is planned and followed up by people who already know it. This is the kind of complex, staged treatment where a coordinated team matters most, and it is what Smiline's implant care, across 30 years of founder-led practice, is built around.
Why the Staged Approach Matters
Breaking full arch treatment into clear stages is not just about the biology of healing, it is also about making a large treatment feel manageable. Knowing what happens at each step, and why, before you start, is often what turns 'too much to take on' into a plan you can actually follow through on, one stage at a time rather than one overwhelming decision.

What to Expect Living With a Full Arch Restoration
Once your final restoration is fitted, most patients describe eating and speaking as feeling close to natural within a short adjustment period, since the restoration is fixed in place rather than removable. Ongoing care is straightforward, daily cleaning around the restoration and regular check-ups, similar in principle to caring for natural teeth, so the improvement tends to hold up well over the years that follow rather than needing constant attention.
