All on 6 and 8 Dental Implants Abroad
All-on-6 and 8 dental implants abroad are a low cost option for replacing missing teeth in the entire arch. It is a pocket-friendly option with 60-70% savings on the price back home. They are gaining popularity because it is a fixed replacement.
What are all on 6/8 and All on 4 dental implants?
6 implants are placed in the entire upper or lower jawbone. These will support a complete set of teeth on top of them. In comparison, all on 4 procedures have only 4 implants placed in the jaw. Alternatively, another option is the All-on-8 implants with eight implants.
The “all-on” procedures help maintain the health of your bone and gums and reduce the hassle of a removable prosthesis.

Am I a Candidate for All on 6 implants?
When considering all-on-six dental implants abroad, you need to find out if you are a candidate for them. Here are some things to look out for:
- All your teeth in at least one arch should be missing.
- A failing dentition, where the remaining teeth have a poor prognosis, all-on-6/8 could be a good option. Post-extraction, the all on 6 procedure is carried out.
- Certain medical conditions also hamper your chances of getting All-on-6/8 dental implants.

- Although implants in uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension are not contraindicated[1]Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal.
Indications and contraindications of dental implants in medically compromised patients
“The survival rate of dental implants placed in MCP who suffer from controlled systemic diseases or smoke, does not indicate a total or partial contraindication for the placement of dental implants..”
View in Article. But it is advisable to get the written consent of your medical practitioner. - Other issues, like cancer, ongoing radiotherapy, or some heart conditions, are absolute contraindications.
Components of an All on 6/8 Implant System
1. Implants
- 6 or 8 implants are placed after a thorough examination.
- The primary function of implants is anchorage and load distribution.
All on 6 Dental Implant System
2. Abutments
- An abutment is a part that connects the underlying implant to the overlying crown.
- Nowadays, one-piece implants are also available. These have a single unit that includes both the implant and the abutment instead of two separate components.
3. Bridge
- A 12-unit fixed bridge, i.e., 12 replacement teeth in the form of a bridge, is placed on top of these six implants.
- The full arch bridge is a replacement for your natural tooth crowns. It can be made of porcelain crowns.
All on 4 vs All on 6 Dental Implants
As their name suggests, the difference between the two is the number of implants placed. But which is better, all-on-4 or all-on-6 dental implants? All-on-4 employ four implants, whereas all-on-6 use six implants. In all on 6, the two additional implants lead to better strength and stability by distributing the chewing forces evenly over the jaw. Moreover, they provide a long-term benefit by keeping the jaw bone healthy.
Although both are used to replace teeth in an edentulous arch (having no teeth), there are some more differences between the two systems.
| Difference | All on 4 | All on 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Number | Four implants | Six implants |
| Gum Replacement | The prosthesis has a part that mimics the gums. | Only tooth crowns. No gum replacement component. |
| Angulation | Back implants are inclined at a 45-degree. | All implants are placed vertically. |
| Bone Grafting | Graftless procedure. | Bone grafting can be done if needed. |
All on 6 Dental Implants Procedure
This procedure usually takes a total of two visits, typically spread over 3-6 months. After a physical assessment of your jaws, a treatment plan is made to place 6 implants. Further, a customized dental bridge unit is firmly attached to these implants. This procedure ensures you get a long-lasting set of teeth.
Consultation (VISIT 1)
- To assess your case, your dentist will do a physical examination of your oral cavity.
- Usually, a CT scan is done to get a 3D imaging of your upper and lower jawbones.
- This helps them to get a clear picture of the amount, the density, and the height and width of bone present.
Consultation
Treatment Plan (VISIT 1)
- The proposed dental plan is then discussed with the patient.
- This is when you can ask doubts regarding the materials used, the cost, or the procedure itself.
- Only after both the patient and the dentist are satisfied with the plan will the process go any further.
Pre-Treatment oral prophylaxis (VISIT 1)
Many patients don’t see the relevance of pre-treatment procedures in the whole scenario of getting implants. To prevent the implant from failing, this is a significant consideration. An unhealthy environment in the mouth can make it difficult for the implant to survive.
- If you have some existing teeth in your jawbone, which have a poor prognosis, extractions are recommended.
- Teeth that cannot be saved are extracted.
- Scaling is also recommended before the procedure.
Pre-Implant Checkup
Implant Placement (VISIT 1)
- Six implants are strategically placed in the jawbone for the maximum load distribution.
- This prevents the bone from becoming weaker under undue stress.
- A temporary removable bridge is placed on these implants until the second appointment.
Healing Period and Osseointegration (Back Home)
- This is a period of 3-6 months where the bone and gums heal.
- Osseointegration[2]PubMed Implants and Osseointegration “Osseointegration was originally defined as a direct structural and functional connection between ordered living bone and the surface of a load-carrying implant.” View in Article is the fusion of the bone and implant surface.
- This process is very crucial for the success of the procedure.
Osseointegration in implants – typically takes 3-6 months.
Permanent Fixed Bridge (VISIT 2)
- After the healing is complete, a permanent fixed bridge is placed on the implants.

Why are All on 6 Implants Cheaper in Dental Tourism Destinations?
If you are missing teeth in both your upper and lower jaw, all-on-six implants can be an excellent solution for you. 4 implants are placed in the front of your jaw, and 2 are placed at the back for additional stability. They support a full bridge of the replacement teeth.
All-on-6 dental implants abroad save you about 60% of what you would pay in the U.S., Canada, or Australia. But why is this procedure pocket-friendly overseas?
- Taxes, labor costs, operating costs, and the cost to build a practice are all lower in these countries.
- Dentists in many dental tourism destinations don’t have to repay massive student debt, unlike their counterparts in the US.[3]STUDENT LOAN PLANNER
Dentistry is the Number 1 Job in America for Debt
“For many graduating with over $4,00,000 in negative net worth, the only way to make dentistry worth it is through practice ownership…”

The quality of the procedure is the same as back home, but the lower cost makes the technique beneficial overseas.
All on 6 dental implants: Problems
All-on-six dental implants is an extensive surgical procedure. Implant failure and infection are some of the commonly encountered problems.
Implant failure
During the whole treatment process (3-6 months), there are chances of implant failure. But what does it mean when an implant “fails”? When the implant becomes loose and wobbly, it is known as implant failure.
Ways to minimize it are:
- Follow your dentist’s post-care instructions.
- Avoid smoking, hard and sticky food.
- Eat a soft diet.
- Maintain good oral hygiene
Infection
In any surgical procedure, infection is a common possibility. Generally, there is a low risk of infection with implants. Peri-implantitis is the term used for gum disease that arises when the implant is infected. Pain, pus, fever, bleeding on brushing, wobbly implant, red and puffy gums are signs of an infection.
Ways to minimize it are:
- Follow your dentist’s post-care instructions.
- Inform the clinic as soon as you see any signs.
- Maintain good oral hygiene.
- Schedule regular checkups every six months.
If the infection is caught in time, the dentist can save the implant. As time passes, the condition may worsen, leading to the loss of an implant.
Choosing the right dental provider hence becomes a crucial aspect while getting the treatment. Thus, before opting for this procedure abroad, you should research well. Nonetheless, with the latest technology and experienced dentists, the problems with this treatment are minimal.
Pros and Cons of All on 6 and 8 Dental Implants
Each dental treatment has its own set of pros and cons. The same goes for all on 6 and 8 dental implants.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| It is a less invasive technique compared to placing a single implant for each missing tooth. | If sufficient bone density is not available, all on six implants might not be advised. In some cases, a bone graft might be needed, making the procedure extensive. |
| The implants firmly hold the denture/bridge; hence it does not slip while chewing or talking, giving it a natural feel. | It is an expensive procedure that may be heavy on your pocket if insurance does not cover it. |
| The implant preserves the jawbone by preventing bone from dissolving, therefore maintaining strength and stability. | Complications like pain, swelling, bleeding, or even implant mobility may arise if you do not choose an experienced dentist. |
It is a good practice to discuss and outweigh the various advantages and disadvantages with your dentist before opting for the procedure.
All on 8 Dental Implants
Another type of “All-on” procedure is the All-on-8 system. It includes full arch implants. It involves placing eight implants in a single arch, to support a full set of teeth. This procedure is generally indicated when the person has lost more than 80% of their teeth.
4 implants are placed in the front of the jaw, and 4 are placed at the back. They are anchors for the fixed replacement bridges that can be made of hybrid, zirconium, or porcelain material.
Your dentist generally makes the selection of an all-on 4/6/8 after a complete examination. The additional implants in all-on-6 and all-on-8 offer greater stability and give you long-lasting confidence.
All on 8 Dental Implants
All on 8 in Case of Severe Bone Loss
Although this technique is more extensive than the All-on-4, its indications are also different. It will hold onto the bone very firmly, preventing the risk of failure of the system.
The procedure of All-on-8 Implants is the same as All-on-6, except for the number of implants used.
In case of severe bone loss, bone grafting is done before the placement of dental implants. The rest of the procedure is the same.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How soon after surgery will I be able to work?
- Most of our patients go back to work within a week of surgery. However, we suggest you take at least 5-7 days of complete rest.
- If you have other medical issues, or if there are any complications, do not stress your body by going to work until and unless your surgeon tells you to.
Is the All on 8 or 6 procedure painful?
- Dental implant procedures are usually done under anesthesia.
- Usually, conscious sedation or general anesthesia is given in case of All-on-6/8 surgeries.
- Even after the surgery, appropriate painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication is given to deal with the pain and swelling.
- Mild pain after surgery is normal. However, in case you experience excruciating pain, feel free to contact your surgeon immediately.
Can I smoke after getting dental implants?
Smoking is very harmful to the process of osseointegration. To ensure the success of your implant, you must quit smoking at least for a few weeks after the procedure.
Which is better, all on 4 or all on 6 dental implants?
The fundamental difference between all on 4 and all on 6 dental implants is the number of implants used. They use 4 and 6 implants, respectively. The two additional implants give extra stability and strength to the jaw by evenly distributing the chewing forces. This ensures a longer-lasting dental arch.
How much do all on 6 dental implants cost?
All on 6 dental implants range from $6,000 to $12,000, depending on the country you choose for your dental tourism. The cost of dental implants in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Thailand can save you upto 60-70% on what you would pay back home. To know more about the prices, check out the cost comparison table above.
I have diabetes. Can I still get implants?
- Diabetics are at a very high risk of infections. During implant surgery, the patient’s tissues are exposed to the external environment. This makes them vulnerable.
- To avoid such complications, taking your medications on time is essential.
- Written consent from your medical practitioner is also required if you have any underlying medical conditions.
How long are the implants going to last?
Implants are a permanent solution for replacing natural teeth. With proper dental care and regular visits to the dentist, they can last you a lifetime. The implant screw in your jawbone can is a permanent fixture. The crown on top might require replacement in 10-15 years due to wear and tear.
All on 6 dental implants ensure the long-lasting smile and confidence you want. Contact us now for more information on high-quality yet low cost All on 6 and 8 dental implants abroad.
