Full Mouth Dental Implants | All-on-4 and All-on-6
Regain a complete, stable smile with full mouth dental implants at Smiles Peru. Using the advanced All-on-4 and All-on-6 techniques, we replace an entire arch of teeth with a fixed prosthesis that does not need to be removed. Most patients leave with temporary teeth the same day or within 24–48 hours.
Our Clinical Director, Dr. Sylvia Pflücker, a specialist in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, personally oversees 3D CBCT planning for safer, more predictable results—even in cases with limited bone.
What Are All-on-4 and All-on-6 Full Mouth Implants?
In the past, removable dentures were the only option for people missing most or all of their teeth. Today, All-on-4 and All-on-6 offer fixed, non-removable solutions that maximize available bone and restore strong, natural-looking function.
- All-on-4: Four strategically placed implants (posterior ones angled) support a full-arch fixed prosthesis. Ideal when bone volume is limited and grafting can often be avoided.
- All-on-6: Six implants provide greater stability and better force distribution. Preferred when bone quality allows and maximum long-term durability is desired.
Both options eliminate the need for adhesives or nightly removal.
Comparison of All-on-4 vs. All-on-6
| Feature | All-on-4 | All-on-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Number of implants | 4 per arch | 6 per arch |
| Best for | Limited bone | Maximum stability and bite force |
| Force Distribution | Good | Excellent |
| Long-term durability | Very good | Superior |
| Relative cost | More accessible | Higher investment |
Are You a Candidate for Full Mouth Dental Implants?
Most people who have lost many or all of their teeth (or have teeth with a poor prognosis) are candidates.
Even with significant bone loss, the All-on-4 protocol frequently allows us to place fixed teeth without extensive grafting. We confirm suitability with a 3D CBCT scan during your evaluation.
Our Treatment Process (Designed for International Patients)
- Evaluation & Digital Planning – 3D CBCT scan and personalized design.
- Surgery + Temporary Teeth – Implant placement and a provisional prosthesis (same day or within 24–48 hours).
- Healing Period – 3–6 months of osseointegration (you return home with a temporary prosthesis).
- Final Prosthesis – Placement of the definitive hybrid or zirconia bridge (second visit, typically 7–10 days).
Corporate lodging is available to make your stay in Lima comfortable.
Dental Implant Prosthetic Options
Hybrid Prosthesis – Acrylic teeth reinforced with an internal titanium bar. Excellent strength, lighter weight, and strong value. The hybrid prosthesis is screw-retained to the implants and can restore up to 90% of natural chewing force, while providing excellent aesthetics and delivering outstanding stability. At Smiles Peru, the hybrid prosthesis is one of our most recommended solutions for patients looking for a comfortable, long-lasting fixed alternative to traditional removable dentures.
Zirconia Implant Bridge – Maximum aesthetics and strength, ideal for those seeking the most natural-looking result. A zirconia implant bridge is a full-arch fixed restoration supported by dental implants. It is milled from a solid block of high-strength zirconia, which provides exceptional durability, excellent biocompatibility, and a highly natural appearance.
For more details about the differences between the zirconia bridge and the hybrid prosthesis, see our comparison guide here.
Frequently Asked Questions about Full Mouth Dental Implants
Can I get full mouth implants if I have little bone? Yes. The All-on-4 technique was specifically developed for patients with reduced bone volume. Angled posterior implants often eliminate or minimize the need for bone grafts.
When is a bone graft or sinus lift necessary? A bone graft or sinus lift is recommended only when the existing bone cannot safely support the planned implants. We assess this with 3D imaging and only suggest these procedures when they improve long-term predictability.
How long do All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants last? With proper care, the titanium implants can last 20–25 years or longer. The prosthesis may need replacement every 10–15 years due to normal wear. All-on-6 generally offers better long-term load distribution.
How long must I stay in Lima? First phase (surgery + temporary teeth): usually 5–7 days. Final prosthesis phase: typically 7–10 days.
How much do full mouth dental implants cost at Smiles Peru? Current starting prices:
- All-on-4: from $3,260 per arch (1st phase only)
- All-on-6: from $4,890 per arch (1st phase only)
- 2nd phase: Hybrid prosthesis: $3,900 | Zirconia bridge: $4,900 plus the cost of the implant abutments: $275/implant

All-on-4 or All-on-6 – which is better? It depends on your bone volume, bite force, and goals. We recommend the option that offers the most predictable long-term result for your specific anatomy. For a deeper technical comparison, visit our All-on-4 vs All-on-6 guide.
