All-on-4 and All-on-6 Dental Implants in Newport Beach, CA
Restore Your Full Smile with Fewer Implants and Maximum Stability
If you are missing most or all of your teeth, All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants offer a permanent, secure alternative to traditional dentures. Dr. Omid Haroonian places full-arch implant restorations that bring back your ability to eat, speak and smile with confidence, often in just one day.
What Are All-on-4 and All-on-6 Implants?
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are full-mouth restoration systems that anchor a complete set of fixed replacement teeth to four or six dental implants in each arch. The implants are placed in strategic positions so that a small number of them can carry a whole arch of teeth. Unlike a traditional denture, the restoration is non-removable, so there are no adhesives to apply and nothing to take out at night. Each arch is custom designed to look and feel completely natural. In most cases you leave on the day of surgery with a temporary set of teeth, and your final arch follows once the implants have healed.
All-on-4 or All-on-6: What’s the Difference?
- All-on-4 Four implants per arch support the full set of teeth, restoring a complete smile with fewer implants.
- All-on-6 Six implants per arch add strength and support, which can suit patients with stronger bone or a higher bite force.
- Options for Bone Loss If bone has been lost, bone grafting or mini-implant alternatives can help make a full-arch restoration possible.
Dr. Haroonian evaluates your bone density, your bite and your overall health before recommending four implants or six.

The short answer
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are full-arch implant restorations that replace all of the teeth in an upper or lower arch with a fixed bridge supported by four or six dental implants. Treatment starts with 3D imaging and planning, and in most cases a temporary set of teeth is attached on the day the implants are placed. After the implants heal, permanent custom-milled teeth are attached, giving patients who are missing most or all of their teeth a non-removable alternative to dentures.
Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4 and All-on-6 Implants
- What’s the difference between All-on-4 and regular implants?
All-on-4 uses four implants to support a full arch of teeth, while traditional implants are typically placed one per missing tooth. That lets a small number of implants carry a complete set of teeth. The full-arch bridge is fixed in place rather than removable.
- Do I get teeth the same day?
In most cases, yes, you leave with a temporary set of teeth on the same day your implants are placed. The temporary arch looks natural, so you never go without a smile while you heal. Your permanent teeth are attached once healing is complete.
- How long do All-on-4 implants last?
With proper care, All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants can last 20 years or more, or even a lifetime. The final teeth are custom milled and designed to last for decades. Daily cleaning and regular checkups help protect the implants and your gums.
- Is the procedure painful?
The procedure should not be painful, because we use local anesthesia during surgery. Oral and IV sedation are also available to keep you comfortable during and after treatment. Many patients find the experience easier than they expected.
- What’s the recovery time?
Most patients resume light activity in 2–3 days. Full healing takes about 3–6 months as the implants bond with the jawbone. Your permanent arch is attached once that healing is complete.
- Can I eat normally after the procedure?
You start with soft foods while the implants heal. Once you have healed, you can eat most foods again, including steak and apples. We will let you know when it is time to move back to firmer foods.
- What if I don’t have enough bone?
Bone loss does not necessarily rule out a full-arch restoration. Bone grafting and mini-implant alternatives are available for patients who have lost bone. 3D imaging shows how much bone you have, so we can plan the right approach.
- Are All-on-6 implants better than All-on-4?
All-on-6 provides extra support, especially for patients with stronger bone or a higher bite force. All-on-4 restores a full arch with fewer implants. Dr. Haroonian will recommend the best option for your bone density, bite and overall health.
- How do I clean my All-on-4 restoration?
Brush and floss around your implants every day, just as you would natural teeth. We will show you the best tools and techniques for cleaning around a full-arch bridge. Regular checkups help keep the implants and surrounding gums healthy.
- Does insurance cover All-on-4 or All-on-6?
Most dental plans offer partial coverage for full-arch implant treatment. We will review your benefits with you before treatment begins. Financing options are also available to make your care more affordable.
