I’m Dr. Cirenia Aparicio Miranda, DDS. When patients ask what All-on-6 is, I explain it as a full-arch implant solution: six titanium implants in one jaw support a fixed (non-removable by the patient) bridge that replaces a full set of teeth on that arch.
All-on-6 is not a one-size protocol. After clinical exam and CBCT, I look at bone height/width, opposing bite, periodontal status, medical history, and whether immediate provisional teeth are realistic for your case.
What does All-on-6 cost at Trust Dental Care?
On our published dental prices in Tijuana fee list:
- 6 dental implants (placement only): from $4,794 (six × placement-only line item)
- All-on-6 complete package: from $13,499
- For context, a single dental implant (placement only) is listed at $799 — not a restored tooth total
Final fees still depend on extractions, grafting, sedation, prosthesis material, and the written treatment plan after CBCT. Confirm current figures on the fee list before you travel. For a broader fee overview, see how much dental implants cost in Tijuana.
How U.S. quotes often compare
U.S. full-arch implant fees vary widely by city, surgeon, and what the quote includes. Public consumer ranges and dental association education materials often place a single implant restoration in the thousands of dollars, and full-arch reconstruction can reach tens of thousands per arch when grafting, provisional, and final bridge are bundled. Treat any out-of-state number you see online as a quote to verify, not a universal price. Compare line items (placement vs abutment vs prosthesis vs imaging) against our fee list rather than a single headline.
What All-on-6 is (clinical)
All-on-6 anchors a full-arch prosthesis on six endosseous implants. Compared with fewer fixtures, six contact points can share chewing load across more sites when bone and implant distribution allow. That is a biomechanical planning choice—not a promise of the same result for every patient.
At a glance
| Feature | Clinical description |
|---|---|
| Implants per arch | Six titanium implants planned in available bone. |
| Prosthesis | Fixed full-arch bridge screwed or cemented to abutments (not a daily removable denture). |
| Load sharing | Chewing forces distributed across six fixtures when positions and bone allow. |
| Diagnostics | CBCT-based planning to map bone volume, nerve canals, and implant axes. |
| Provisional phase | Many patients receive a temporary fixed bridge; timing depends on primary stability and healing. |
How we rebuild the smile
- Planning: exam, photos, CBCT, medical review, written plan.
- Surgery: implant placement under local anesthesia; sedation options when appropriate.
- Healing / osseointegration: follow-up and hygiene coaching.
- Final bridge: often zirconia or other material selected in the plan.

Who may be a candidate
You may be a candidate when remaining teeth are non-restorable or missing on an arch, bone volume is adequate (or graftable), systemic health is controlled, and you can maintain hygiene around a fixed bridge. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, active infection, or insufficient bone can change the plan—including choosing All-on-4, grafting, or staged care.
All-on-6 vs All-on-4
| Topic | All-on-6 | All-on-4 |
|---|---|---|
| Fixtures per arch | Six | Four |
| Load distribution | More fixtures available to share bite load when bone allows | Fewer fixtures; angulation strategies often used to use available bone |
| Bone / grafting | May require adequate sites for six positions | Sometimes planned to reduce grafting needs |
| Fee-list packages (confirm live) | Placement from $4,794; complete package from $13,499 | Placement from $3,196; complete package from $10,499 |

Our clinical experience
At Trust Dental Care I plan full-arch cases with CBCT imaging and a written treatment agreement. Treatment planning and placement follow individualized evaluation of bone, occlusion, medical history, and restorative goals. Ask for written warranty terms on the implant fixture and prosthesis components before you commit—warranty coverage is defined in your treatment agreement, not by marketing copy.
Cross-border care
Many of my patients travel from Southern California. We coordinate bilingual communication and optional private border shuttle logistics. For more context, see why US patients choose Tijuana and dentist in Tijuana.
Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-6 Implants
Most pathways include a surgery visit for implants and a provisional bridge when primary stability allows, then a healing interval before the final bridge. Total calendar time depends on bone grafts, healing, and lab work—your written plan will set visit dates.
We use local anesthesia and may offer sedation when appropriate. Postoperative soreness is common and usually managed with medication and soft-food guidance. Comfort varies; we do not promise a pain-free surgery.
Brush the bridge twice daily with a soft brush and clean under the prosthesis with a water flosser or other aids we recommend. Keep periodontal and implant maintenance visits—hygiene around implants affects long-term outcomes.
Implant survival depends on bone quality, medical factors, occlusion, and maintenance. Published studies report a range of outcomes in selected patients; we confirm prognosis only after CBCT and exam—not from a single website percentage.
True immune rejection of medical-grade titanium is uncommon. What patients call “rejection” is more often failed integration or later peri-implant disease related to smoking, uncontrolled medical conditions, overload, or hygiene. Screening and follow-up reduce—but cannot eliminate—those risks.
Chronological age alone rarely rules out treatment. Overall health, bone volume, medications, and healing capacity matter more. Candidacy is confirmed after exam and imaging.
Final bridges are commonly milled from zirconia or other materials selected for strength and appearance. The written plan specifies the material for your case.
Safety depends on clinic protocols, not geography alone. At Trust Dental Care we use documented treatment planning, sterilization standards, bilingual coordination, and optional private shuttle logistics. Ask for credentials, imaging, and a written plan before surgery.
On our published fee list, All-on-6 implant placement starts at $4,794 and the complete package starts at $13,499. Final fees depend on CBCT findings and the written plan—confirm figures on the dental prices page.
