All on 6 dental implants
Achieve a Complete Smile with All on 6 Dental Implants
Elite Dental Tours in Costa Rica specializes in All on 6 dental implants, providing a full-arch restoration solution that offers enhanced stability and durability. This advanced procedure is perfect for those looking for a secure, cost-effective, and aesthetically appealing way to restore missing teeth while enjoying the beautiful surroundings of Costa Rica.
What is All on 6?
In the All on 6 procedure, six implants are strategically placed to provide additional stability compared to All on 4, making it suitable for patients with moderate bone loss or those requiring more support. The process begins with a thorough evaluation and diagnostic imaging, followed by the placement of six implants. Temporary teeth are attached during the same appointment, and after a 3-6 month healing period, during which the implants integrate with the bone, a final permanent set of teeth is fitted, offering greater durability and comfort.
Why Choose All on 6 Dental Implants?
Patients choose All on 6 dental implants for a variety of reasons, including:
- Cost-Effective Dental Solutions: At Elite Dental Tours, we offer high-quality All on 6 implants at a fraction of the cost compared to U.S. prices. Patients can save up to 60-70% on their dental care by traveling to Costa Rica.
- Enhanced Stability: The All on 6 procedure uses six strategically placed dental implants to provide superior support for a full arch of teeth, making it ideal for patients with moderate to severe bone loss.
- Long-Lasting Results: With six implants supporting your new teeth, this method ensures greater durability, giving you a more comfortable and functional smile for years to come.
Aesthetic Enhancement: Not only does this procedure restore dental functionality, but it also offers a full smile makeover, dramatically improving your appearance and confidence.
All-on-6 Dental Implants Procedure
The All-on-6 procedure is an advanced full-arch restoration technique that offers a durable, functional, and natural-looking solution for patients with missing or severely damaged teeth. It involves the placement of six dental implants in the upper or lower jaw to anchor a full set of fixed prosthetic teeth. At Elite Dental Tours, we offer access to top-rated dental clinics in Costa Rica that specialize in All-on-6 procedures, combining expert care with unmatched cost savings.
What Is the All-on-6 Procedure?
The All-on-6 procedure is similar to the All-on-4 system but uses six implants instead of four, providing enhanced stability and support—especially beneficial for patients with lower bone density or those who want additional strength for long-term use.
This technique is ideal for:
- Patients with significant tooth loss or decay
- Those seeking a permanent alternative to dentures
- Individuals with moderate to good jawbone density
All-on-6 Procedure Steps:
- Initial Evaluation & Treatment Planning
The dentist conducts a full oral examination with digital imaging, 3D scans, and medical history review. A personalized treatment plan is created based on your needs and bone structure. - Implant Placement Surgery
Six titanium implants are strategically inserted into the jawbone. These act as anchors for the future prosthetic arch. Temporary teeth are often attached on the same day. - Healing & Osseointegration
Over the next 3–6 months, the implants fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration, ensuring a solid foundation.
Abutment & Final Prosthetic Placement
After successful healing, abutments are placed on the implants, followed by the attachment of your custom-made permanent prosthetic arch, designed for aesthetics and functionality.
How Long Does the All-on-6 Procedure Take?
If you’re wondering how long the All-on-6 procedure takes, here’s a general timeline:
- Surgical Time: 3 to 4 hours per arch (including temporary teeth placement)
- Initial Stay in Costa Rica: Typically 5 to 7 days for consultation, surgery, and post-op care
- Healing Period: 3 to 6 months for osseointegration
- Final Visit: A follow-up trip for placing the permanent teeth (usually a 3 to 5-day visit)
Thanks to modern techniques and expert planning, many patients can walk out with a new smile on the same day of surgery, returning later for their final restoration.

All on 8 Dental Implants
For those needing maximum stability, All on 8 dental implants are recommended. This method uses eight implants to secure a full arch of teeth, offering unparalleled support and longevity for patients with more advanced dental health issues.
