All On 6 Dental Implants
Dr. Peter Doherty Explains The All On 6 Treatment
All-on-6 dental implants are a viable solution for people with failing or missing teeth. They're also a permanent solution and offer more stability than dentures.
We typically recommend All-on-6 implants when a patient is younger or has low bone density in their jaw, as they provide more support and can ensure the implants last long into the future.
Dental implants are a lasting investment if you want to transform your smile permanently and enjoy better oral health.

What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?
Lindsey Feeney's Life Changing Testimonial
All-on-6 implants use six titanium implants placed strategically into the jaw bone. The implants are anchors for artificial teeth, and the gums gradually fuse to them, ensuring stability.
Dental implant surgery is a long-lasting solution, making it popular for people who want to enhance their smile. If your natural teeth are missing, cracked or impact your aesthetic appearance, 3Dental can help you build confidence and improve oral functionality with same day teeth.

How Much Do All-on-6 Implants Cost?
Trisha Lawton's Life Changing Testimonial
Dental implants are an investment, and installing six implants costs more than the All-on-4 treatment. Their stability and ability to function as natural teeth would make implants a popular decision.
Your treatment costs depend on whether you require bone grafting before implant placement.
Prices start at €13,200 per arch, but 3Dental clients can take advantage of convenient payment plans, including Humm finance.

What Are The Next Steps?
Dr. Peter Doherty Discusses The Free Consultation & Treatment Process
To determine your suitability for treatment, we offer free consultations as well as a discounted CT scan.
During your consultation, we’ll be able to determine whether you have sufficient bone quality to take implants.
Once we know this, we’ll be able to provide you with a quotation and walk you through everyhting that’s involved. As well as answer any questions you may have.
We’ll also take scans of your face and mouth - this is for aesthetic reasons - to make sure your smile correctly matches your face and smile.
Watch Peter’s video on this panel for more information.
What Should I Expect When I Get All-on-6 Implants?
A New Smile In One Day!
Most patients can enjoy a full set of teeth on the same day as their implant placement.
Enjoy A Wide Range Of Food!
Unlike dentures, implants are permanently fixed, making it easier to enjoy a wide range of foods and not worry about them slipping.
Transform Your Smile & Boost Your Confidence
Tooth loss can cause facial sagging and impact your confidence. Dental implants transform your smile, boost confidence and replicate natural teeth.
Long-Lasting, Durable & Convenient
Traditional dentures can slip around, decreasing dental function. You can clean them like normal teeth, and they'll last for years.
Improve Bone Health
Dental implants can stimulate jaw bone growth, reducing the risks of deterioration and bone loss.

Initial Assessment
)
Initial Assessment
All prospective patients receive a free consultation with no obligation to choose us for your All-on-6 treatment.
During the appointment, a dentist will discuss your needs and what you want to achieve.
3D Scan
3D Scan
3D CT scans enable us to assess your full mouth and assess bone quality to see whether you can have implants, and determine the best positions for each implant.
In some cases, we might recommend a bone graft to ensure the implants have sufficient foundations.
Treatment Plan
)
Treatment Plan
The video in this panel is a detailed walk-through of our treatment plan.
We start off by taking the shape of your face and how you want your smile to look into consideration.
Based on this, we design your temporary bridge - digitally in our lab.
This process allows us to provide you with a perfect smile in just 1 day.
Implant Placement
)
Implant Placement
The dentist will strategically place six titanium implants into the jaw bone.
We already have a treatment plan based on your CT scan that speeds up the process on the day, and all treatment is carried out under sedation and local anaesthetic.
Fitting A Temporary Prosthesis
)
Fitting A Temporary Prosthesis
On the day of your surgery, once your implants have been placed, and our dental technicians have created your temporary bridge, we'll bring you back into the treatment room to fit it.
The process takes around 15 minutes, and you can go home and begin recovery immediately afterwards.
More Information & Aftercare
)
More Information & Aftercare
The temporary bridge will stay in place for three months; then, you'll come in for another appointment.
We'll check how your gums have healed and take new scans of your temporary bridge and your mouth.
Our technicians will use this information to copy the shape of your temporary prosthesis and use digital technology to craft the final porcelain teeth. You'll return in 2-3 weeks to have the completed final bridge fitted.
For more information on our aftercare advice, check out 'Teeth In A Day Aftercare Instructions'.

Commonly Asked Questions
Am I suitable for the All-on-6 Dental Implants treatment?
That depends on your oral health and whether you've experienced significant bone loss.
During your consultation, we'll assess your jaw and determine whether you can have six dental implants.
If we don't feel it's the right choice, your dentist will discuss alternatives.
How long does the All-on-6 procedure take?
We'll complete the implant placement procedure and fit your temporary fixed prosthesis in one day.
Typically, surgery on the day takes 2-2.5 hours.
You'll then heal for three months and return for us to begin the final porcelain teeth.
From start to finish this process usually takes 4 months.
Are there any age limits?
While there aren't set age limits, it is not possible to place implants until jaw growth is complete at around 21 years of age.
There is no upper age limited provided you are medically healthy.
Do All-on-6 dental implants hurt?
It depends. Some people feel no pain and can return to everyday activities, while others feel mild discomfort.
Taking painkillers can help your recovery, and the vast majority don't experience significant pain.
Can I get All-on-6 dental implants near me?
If you live in Dublin, Limerick or Galway, 3Dental can support you. We also treat patients throughout Ireland, preventing the need to travel abroad.
You deserve the best possible treatment, and we aim to exceed your expectations.
What is the difference between All-on-6 dental implants and the normal dental implant?
The main difference is the number of implants, as a traditional dental implant replaces one tooth, while All-on-6 places six implants that support an entire arch of teeth.
What are the alternative treatments to All-on-6 Implants?
The most popular alternatives to All-on-6 treatments include:
- Dentures: Removable appliances that replace a full or partial set of teeth. The main problem is that dentures can slip around, but implant-retained dentures can be beneficial.
- Dental bridges: A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces missing teeth by filling the gap between existing teeth.
- All-on-4 implants: If you have sufficient bone density,and volume, All-on-4 implants can be more convenient.
Who is suitable to All-on-6 dental implants?
While All-on-4 dental implants are also an option, we recommend placing six implants for patients with:
Low Bone Density: People with low jaw bone density often find four implants offer insufficient support. Using six dental implants provides more anchorage and ensures longer-lasting results.
Bite Force: Strong bite forces often put excess pressure on the teeth. Adding two extra implants provides more support for the implant bridge, and takes the pressure off each individual implant.
Younger Patients: A minimum of four dental implants is required to replace a full jaw of teeth (ie all-on-four). If one of these implants fails in the future then the whole treatment fails. We favour placing more implants in younger patients to provide some insurance against this event. If one or even two implants fail in an all-on-six then the treatment will still continue to function.
Bone Availability: Large sinuses can compromise bone availability near the molars and premolars, requiring the implants to be bunched towards the front of the mouth.
By adding two additional implants at the very back of the mouth in what is known as the pterygoid region, we can overcome the challenges posed by the presence of large sinuses.
