Schedule ConsultationMore Roots, More Support
Four Implants Can Hold an Arch. Six Spread the Load Across It.
All-on-6 rebuilds an entire upper or lower jaw of missing or failing teeth on six dental implants and one fixed set of teeth. It’s the same idea as All-on-4 — a full arch anchored on implants instead of resting on your gums — with two more roots doing the work.
Those two extra posts aren’t about selling you more. They change the physics. Six implants spread every bite more evenly across the arch, shorten the unsupported ‘cantilever’ ends that quietly stress a four-implant bridge, and give you redundancy — if one implant ever needs attention, five are still carrying the load. In softer or less dense bone, especially in the upper jaw, that extra support is often what turns a good plan into a durable one.
How many implants you get is decided by your 3D scan, not a menu: six implants cost more per arch than four, and your written quote shows the fee and the reason before anything is scheduled. Many patients get six simply because four isn’t enough for their bone. Weighing your options? Compare All-on-4 vs All-on-6 vs All-on-8 or read about our All-on-8 Robust protocol.

Six Implants vs Four. Where the Two Extra Roots Earn Their Keep.
Both rebuild a full arch on the same day. Here's honestly where a six-implant arch differs from a standard four-implant one — what the two extra roots add, and why your scan should decide.
Load distribution
All-on-6 (six implants)Six anchor points share the bite across the whole arch, so no single implant is overworked — closer to how a full set of natural roots carries force.
A standard All-on-4Four points carry the same arch. It works, but each implant and the bridge between them takes on more of every bite.
Cantilever stress
All-on-6 (six implants)More implants mean shorter unsupported ends behind the last post — less leverage working against the arch over the years.
A standard All-on-4Longer cantilevers at the back of the arch put extra strain on the rear implants and the framework over time.
Built-in redundancy
All-on-6 (six implants)If one implant ever needs attention, five others keep the arch stable — margin for the long haul.
A standard All-on-4With four, every implant is essential; there is less room to spare if one has a problem.
Softer or thinner bone
All-on-6 (six implants)The extra posts spread force where bone is less dense — often the difference-maker in the upper jaw.
A standard All-on-4Can be excellent in dense bone, but leaves less margin where the ridge is soft or resorbed.
What it costs you here
All-on-6 (six implants)We place six to eight whenever your bone calls for it, and your written quote shows the per-arch fee for that count before anything is scheduled.
A standard All-on-4At many centers, four is the fixed package, whatever the bone needs.
Timeline
All-on-6 (six implants)Fixed teeth the same day; final custom-milled teeth in about 72 hours from our on-site lab.
A standard All-on-4Same-day teeth as well — the day itself isn't longer; the difference is the foundation underneath.
Comparisons are general guidance; your plan is confirmed after an exam and free 3D CBCT scan. Individual results vary.
The Number Isn't a Package. It's What Your Bone Needs.
The Number Isn't a Package
Walk into most full-arch centers and the implant count is decided before they've seen your bone — four is the package. We start from the opposite end. Your free 3D CBCT scan shows exactly how much bone you have and where it's dense, and the plan follows the anatomy: some arches are solid on four, many are better on six, and some need eight.
Whatever that number turns out to be, your written quote shows the per-arch fee for it before anything is scheduled. Six or eight costs more than four, and the scan shows you why. That's how a family-owned, implant-only practice can put the engineering first — the same doctors plan it, place it, and build your teeth in our own lab.
An Engineer Plans the Load Path
An Engineer Plans the Load Path
A full arch on implants is, quite literally, a structure — and Dr. Sam Jain plans it like one. Before dentistry he earned a master's in mechanical engineering — a rare combination he puts to work on every arch. Bite forces, implant angles, torque, and the length of the cantilever behind the last implant aren't afterthoughts; they're calculated so your arch is built to last decades, not just to look right on day one.
That engineering mindset is why the six-versus-four decision here is about where the force actually travels, not a menu. Every case is planned on your own 3D scan and placed with guided navigation for precision. And because we mill your final teeth in our own on-site lab, the arch that goes in your mouth is made to the exact plan — no outsourced approximations. For arches where the bone has thinned, we graft, angle the implants, or place zygomatic implants in the cheekbone rather than compromise the foundation.
One Clear Fee Per Arch, Set By How Many Roots It Takes
Full-arch treatment is priced per arch with your fixed teeth included, not as an upgrade menu: All-on-4 is one fixed, all-included fee of $14,999 per arch, and an arch your bone says needs six or eight implants is quoted in writing after your scan. Because the surgery, the planning, and our zirconia lab share one address, the number you get is the number the work costs.
About 92% of our full-arch patients finance with a monthly plan sized to their quote and term, and prequalifying takes minutes with no impact on your credit. We’re in-network with many PPO plans. You’ll get an itemized number in writing at a free consultation with a 3D CBCT scan — together a $499 value — so you decide with your real anatomy and your real price in front of you.

Why Six And Not Four?The Questions Patients Ask Next
What's the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
The number of roots holding your arch. All-on-4 rebuilds a full jaw on four implants; All-on-6 uses six. Two extra posts sound minor, but they change how the bite is carried: six implants spread the force more evenly across the arch, shorten the unsupported ends that stress a four-implant bridge, and leave you with built-in redundancy. It's the difference between a table on four legs and one on six — both stand, but one is harder to rock.
Is All-on-6 better than All-on-4?
For many arches, yes — but it depends on your bone, not a sales tier. More implants mean more even load distribution and more margin for safety, which matters most in the upper jaw and in softer or less dense bone. That said, a well-planned All-on-4 is the right answer for plenty of patients. We don't decide from a brochure; we decide from your free 3D CBCT scan. And if the scan says four is genuinely enough, we'll tell you that too — the decision is anatomical, not commercial.
Do you charge more for six implants than four?
Yes — a six-implant arch costs more than a four-implant arch, because there are two more implants to place and restore. What that buys is support spread across six roots instead of four. We start from what your anatomy actually needs — often six to eight per arch — and your written quote shows the fee for that count before anything is scheduled.
How long does All-on-6 take, and when do I get teeth?
You do not leave without teeth. On surgery day, Dr. Jain or Dr. Gupta places the six implants with guided surgery and fits a fixed set of teeth so you walk out chewing — not in a removable denture. Because we design and mill your final arch in our own on-site lab rather than shipping it out, most full-arch patients receive their permanent, custom-milled teeth in about 72 hours. Your doctor confirms your exact timeline at your free consultation.
How much do All-on-6 dental implants cost?
Full-arch treatment here is priced per arch, with your fixed teeth included. All-on-4 is one fixed, all-included fee of $14,999 per arch; an arch your scan says needs six or eight implants is quoted in writing after the scan, with any extractions, grafting, sinus work, and sedation it needs itemized on that quote. Because the surgery, the planning, and our zirconia lab all live under one roof, there are no fly-in surgeons or outsourced-lab markups in your number, and your finished arch is backed by the written warranty in your treatment plan. About 92% of our full-arch patients finance, and prequalifying takes minutes with no impact on your credit. You get an itemized number in writing at your free consult.
What if my bone can't support six implants?
That's a case we take, not a reason to turn you away. When the ridge has thinned from years of missing teeth or denture wear, we bone-graft, place implants at an angle, or — for severe upper-jaw loss — anchor zygomatic implants in the dense cheekbone, which skips grafting entirely. Dr. Jain is an ICOI Master who also holds a master's in mechanical engineering, so he plans each arch around the bone you actually have. Many patients told 'no' elsewhere turn out to be candidates once we see the 3D scan.

My son has problems with his teeth for so many years until today. He finally got his new teeth. It looks wonderful. You should try it. You won’t be sorry from a loving mothers view.
Neil Cimino
I came into the office not knowing what to expect. I have had partials on my upper and lower teeth for years and been frustrated with the fit changing, parts falling off etc. so when I came to get a quote on implants I was hopeful. This place surpasses all that I could imagine. After the consult, I had my first appointment the next day. 3 days later I had all my teeth extracted. On the fifth day I had my new teeth. Unbelievable. I feel 20 years younger. Highly recommend. 5 Stars easy would give 10 if it was available.

I recently visited Center for Implant Dentistry after developing an infection around a crowned tooth. My regular dentist wasn't able to treat the problem and referred me to a specialist. A friend who had undergone a bone graft procedure there about a year ago recommended this facility, so I decided to schedule a free consultation. From the moment I arrived, I had a great experience. I met Neel, a very knowledgeable and friendly young gentleman who was easy to talk to. He explained the types of procedures they perform and how they specialize in dental implants and complex dental cases. After asking about my concerns, he quickly took some pictures using their advanced technology. Just a few minutes later, I met Dr. Jain. He took the time to discuss my dental problem and thoroughly explained the recommended treatment plan in a way that was simple and easy to understand. I really appreciated how clearly he explained everything and made sure I understood my options. Then came the biggest surprise! Dr. Jain asked if I wanted to proceed with the treatment that same day. I was shocked because I had only come in for a consultation! Since I was already off work, I decided to take care of the problem right away. Dr. Jain extracted my infected tooth, cleaned out the infection, and placed the implant--all in the same visit! I never expected to have everything done that day, but I was grateful that they were able to address the problem so quickly. I also found the cost reasonable, considering the complexity of the procedure and how quickly they were able to take care of my situation. They accepted my dental insurance and FSA, which helped save me a significant amount of money. Neel provided a detailed treatment plan and explained the costs, including what my insurance would cover. I really appreciated the transparency and the time he took to help me understand the financial side of my treatment. Because it was getting late, they weren't able to finish my temporary crown that day, so I had to return the following day to have it completed. Overall, I'm very grateful for the care I received at Center for Implant Dentistry. From Neel's excellent communication and helpful guidance to Dr. Jain's thorough explanation and treatment, the entire experience was reassuring and efficient. Kudos to all their staff . Very friendly and professional . I highly recommend this facility to anyone who needs specialized dental care or dental implants. They made what could have been a very stressful experience much easier than I expected!
