All-On-6 Dental Implants in Tijuana
All-on-6 dental implants use six implants to support a fixed full-arch restoration. At Smile 4 Ever Mexico in Tijuana, the number of implants is determined according to your bone, anatomy, bite, and individual treatment needs.
What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-6 is a full-arch treatment in which six dental implants are used to support a fixed prosthetic restoration. It may be considered when a patient’s bone, anatomy, bite, and treatment plan allow six implants to be placed in appropriate positions.
However, more implants do not automatically mean a better treatment. The goal is to use the number and position of implants that provide appropriate support for each individual case.
All-on-4 vs. All-on-6: What's the Difference?
Both All-on-4 and All-on-6 use dental implants to support a fixed full-arch restoration. The main difference is the number of implants used per arch.
| Factor | All-on-4 | All-on-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Implants per arch | 4 | 6 |
| Restoration | Fixed full-arch | Fixed full-arch |
| Implant positions | Planned according to available bone and anatomy | Requires appropriate positions for six implants |
| Best option | Determined individually | Determined individually |
Six implants are not necessary for every patient. In some cases, four or five well-positioned implants may provide an appropriate foundation, while other patients may benefit from six. The final recommendation is made after clinical evaluation and 3D imaging.
The Benefits of All-On-6 Dental Implants
Additional Implant Support
When six implants can be placed in favorable positions, the additional implant support can help distribute forces across the full-arch restoration.
Fixed Full-Arch Restoration
All-on-6 supports a fixed restoration that remains in place during normal daily use and is designed to restore chewing function and a complete smile.
Individualized Implant Distribution
Using six implant positions may provide additional restorative options in selected cases, depending on available bone, anatomy, and prosthetic design.
How We Determine If All-on-6 Is Right for You
3D Bone & Anatomy Evaluation
CBCT imaging allows our team to evaluate available bone, anatomical structures, and potential implant positions before surgery.
Bite & Restorative Planning
Your bite, jaw relationship, smile, and final restoration are considered when determining implant number and position.
Implant Number & Position
The goal is not simply to place the greatest number of implants. Our team determines whether four, five, or six implants provide the appropriate foundation for your individual treatment plan.
How Much Do All-on-6 Dental Implants Cost in Tijuana?
All-on-6 dental implant treatment at Smile 4 Ever Mexico ranges from $11,500 to $12,500 for a single arch. Full-mouth All-on-6 treatment for both arches is $24,000.

| Full-Mouth All-on-6 — Both Arches | $65,000 | $24,000 |
U.S. pricing is an estimated average based on publicly advertised prices from dental clinics in the United States. Actual costs vary by provider, location, materials, and individual treatment needs.
Why Can the Single-Arch Price Vary?
The final cost depends on the individual treatment plan, restorative requirements, and any additional procedures that may be needed for your case.

All-on-6 Dental Implant Treatment: Step by Step
Consultation & 3D Treatment Planning
Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation, CBCT imaging, and digital planning. Our team evaluates your bone, anatomy, bite, and restorative needs before confirming the number and position of implants.
First Trip: Implant Placement & Temporary Teeth
During the first treatment phase, any required extractions are completed and the implants are placed. When adequate stability is achieved, a fixed temporary restoration may be provided while the implants heal.
Healing & Osseointegration
The implants require time to integrate with the surrounding bone before the final restoration is completed. Healing time varies according to the individual case and surgical conditions.
Second Trip: Final Fixed Restoration
After healing, you return for the restorative phase. Digital records, bite verification, and try-ins are used to refine the fit, function, and appearance before the final fixed restoration is completed.
Immediate Teeth vs. Final Teeth
All-on-6 treatment may allow a temporary fixed restoration to be placed shortly after surgery when the implants achieve sufficient initial stability. These temporary teeth are designed for the healing phase and are not the same as the final restoration.
The final restoration is completed after the implants have healed and the restorative team can evaluate the bite, fit, esthetics, and relationship between the implants and prosthesis.
Cleaning & Maintaining All-on-6 Dental Implants
All-on-6 restorations are fixed, but they still require daily cleaning around and underneath the prosthesis. Proper hygiene helps control plaque around the implants and maintain healthy surrounding tissues.
Your dental team will show you how to clean your restoration using appropriate hygiene tools. Regular professional evaluations and maintenance are also important for monitoring the implants, bite, and prosthesis over time.
Patients who prefer a restoration they can remove themselves for easier direct cleaning may also want to learn about Snap-On dentures.

All-on-6 Dental Implants Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Do All-on-6 Dental Implants Cost in Tijuana?
How Long Does All-on-6 Treatment Take?
All-on-6 is typically completed in two treatment phases with a healing period between them. The first phase includes implant surgery and temporary teeth when clinically appropriate. After the implants have healed, the second phase is used to complete the final fixed restoration.
How Many Trips to Tijuana Are Needed for All-on-6?
Most All-on-6 patients require two trips to Tijuana. The first trip is for evaluation, implant surgery, and the temporary restoration, when appropriate. The second trip takes place after healing and is used to complete the final fixed teeth.
Can I Fly to San Diego for All-on-6 Treatment in Tijuana?
Yes. Many of our U.S. patients fly domestically to San Diego International Airport and continue to Tijuana for treatment. Smile 4 Ever Mexico is located just minutes from the U.S. border, making return visits easier to plan.
Is All-on-6 Right for Me?
Whether All-on-6 is right for you depends on your oral health, available bone, anatomy, bite, and restorative needs. A clinical evaluation and 3D imaging help our team determine whether All-on-6 or another full-arch implant option is appropriate for you.
Is All-on-6 Better Than All-on-4?
Not necessarily. All-on-6 uses six implants instead of four, but more implants do not automatically mean better treatment. The appropriate number depends on your bone, anatomy, bite, implant positions, and restorative plan.
Do I Really Need Six Implants?
Not every patient needs six implants per arch. After clinical evaluation and 3D imaging, our team determines whether four, five, or six implants provide the appropriate foundation for your full-arch restoration.
Can I Get Temporary Fixed Teeth After Surgery?
In many cases, temporary fixed teeth may be possible when the implants achieve sufficient initial stability. If immediate loading is not clinically appropriate, an alternative temporary restoration may be recommended during the healing period.
