All-On-6 Dental Implants in Pattaya, Thailand
A full arch of fixed teeth on six implants, planned with a 3D CT scan and built on genuine, branded implant systems. No more loose dentures, no adhesives, and a bite you can trust.
All-on-6 is one of the full-arch options we offer as part of our dental implants in Pattaya. This page explains who it suits, how it compares with dentures and All-on-4, what the treatment involves and what it costs
What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-6 replaces a full arch of missing or failing teeth with one fixed bridge that is held by six titanium implants in your jawbone. The bridge is screwed onto the implants, so it stays in place and is never taken out at night.
How Do All-on-6 Implants Work?
Four implants are placed in the front of the jaw and two further back, often at an angle to use the strongest bone. Over the following months the implants fuse with the bone, and the six support points share your bite force evenly across the whole arch.
Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-6?
All-on-6 is usually a good fit if you:
Wear loose dentures
Your dentures slip, rub or need adhesive, and you want teeth that stay fixed.
Are missing most teeth
You have lost all teeth in one arch, or the remaining teeth cannot be saved.
Want maximum support
You enjoy firm foods and want the extra stability of six implants instead of four.
Can You Get All-on-6 with Bone Loss?
Often, yes. Angled implants make the most of the bone you have. If your 3D CT scan shows too little bone, we may recommend bone grafting or a sinus lift first. Your dentist confirms whether All-on-6 is right for you after the scan.
All-on-6 for the Upper vs. Lower Jaw
The upper jaw has softer bone and the sinus above it, so the extra support of six implants is often recommended there. The lower jaw is denser, and some patients are suited to All-on-4 instead. Many patients have the upper and lower arches treated in the same trip.
All-on-6 vs. Dentures: What’s the Difference?
Traditional dentures sit on your gums and rely on suction or adhesive to stay in place, so they can slip when you eat or speak and need to come out every night. All-on-6 dental implants work differently: a full arch of teeth is fixed onto six implants placed in your jawbone, so your new teeth stay put and are cared for much like natural teeth.
Fixed, not removable
No adhesives, and no taking your teeth out at night.
A stronger bite
Enjoy firmer foods such as steak, nuts and fresh fruit with confidence.
Less bulk in your mouth
An upper All-on-6 bridge doesn’t cover the palate, so food tastes more natural and speaking feels easier.
Helps protect your jawbone
Implants stimulate the bone, which helps slow the bone loss that makes dentures loosen over time.
If your dentures feel loose or uncomfortable, All-on-6 can be a long-term way to get fixed teeth back. A 3D CT scan at your consultation shows whether you have enough bone for the treatment.
Benefits of All-on-6 Dental Implants
Beyond replacing dentures, here is what six implants give you day to day and over the years.
1. Greater Stability & Strength
Six support points spread chewing forces, which reduces stress on each implant and on the bridge.
2. Confident Eating & Speech
Eat out, laugh and speak without worrying about your teeth moving.
3. A Natural Look & Feel
Teeth are custom-shaped and shaded to suit your face and smile.
4. Long-Term Value
A higher first cost, but fewer relines, replacements and repairs than dentures over time.
5. Supports Your Facial Profile
By helping slow bone loss, implants help keep the natural shape of your lips and cheeks.
All-on-6 vs. All-on-4: Which One Is Right for You?
Both give you a fixed full arch. The main difference is how many implants hold it and how much bone each needs. You can read more about All-on-4 implants, or 3-on-6 implants if you prefer three separate bridges.

Which Implants and Teeth Materials Are Used for All-on-6?
Every All-on-6 case uses genuine Osstem or Straumann implants, and the brand is written on your treatment plan. Compare the systems in our guide to the top dental implant brands in Thailand.
Zirconia Bridge
A strong, tooth-coloured ceramic that resists chipping and staining and lasts longer than acrylic.
Best for: the most natural look and long-term durability.
Reinforced Acrylic Bridge
A lighter, lower-cost option on a reinforced frame. It may need repairs or replacement sooner than zirconia.
Best for: a lower first cost, or as a first permanent bridge.
All-on-6 Procedure Step by Step
1. Consultation & 3D CT Scan
We examine your mouth, take a 3D CT scan to measure your bone and plan where each implant goes.
2. Implant Placement
Six implants are placed, with the back two often angled, under local anaesthetic.
3. Temporary Teeth
Where your bone allows, a fixed temporary bridge is fitted soon after surgery, so you don’t leave without teeth.
4. Final Bridge
After 3–6 months of healing, your final zirconia or acrylic bridge is fitted and your bite adjusted.
All-on-6 Recovery: What to Expect After Surgery
Most patients feel swelling and soreness for the first few days, managed with prescribed medicine. Stick to soft foods while the implants heal, keep the area clean as instructed, and avoid smoking.
Is All-on-6 Safe? Risks and Success Rates
Full-arch implant treatment is a well-established procedure with high long-term success when it is carefully planned. As with any surgery, risks include infection, implant failure and nerve or sinus problems. A 3D CT scan before surgery, genuine implant systems and regular check-ups all help reduce these risks.
How Many Trips to Pattaya Do You Need for All-on-6?
For All-on-6, plan for two trips. See the two-trip treatment timeline for how we plan each visit.
At home · 3–6 months
Implants heal and fuse with the bone. You wear your temporary teeth.
Trip 1 · about 5–7 days
3D CT scan, extractions if needed, six implants and fixed temporary teeth.
Trip 2 · about 5–7 days
Final zirconia or acrylic bridge, fitting and bite check.
How Long Do All-on-6 Implants Last?
With an All-on-6 case, two parts age differently. The six implants can last for decades with good care, while the full-arch bridge on top wears with use: a zirconia bridge usually lasts longer than acrylic, which may need relining or replacing sooner. Check-ups and professional cleaning every 6 months keep both in good shape.
Factors That Affect Implant Longevity
- Oral hygiene: daily cleaning around the bridge and implants.
- Bridge material: zirconia resists wear better than acrylic.
- General health: smoking and uncontrolled diabetes raise the risk of problems.
- Night grinding: a night guard may be recommended to protect the bridge.
