What Are
All on 6 Dental Implants?
All-on-6 is a full-arch dental implant technique that replaces an entire upper or lower row of teeth using six titanium implants as anchors. The six implants are strategically distributed along the jawbone, typically two at the front, two in the middle, and two at the back, creating a stable foundation for a fixed prosthetic arch that functions just like natural teeth.
Why all on 6 implants instead of 4?
The additional two implants distribute chewing forces across a wider area of the jaw, which means greater bite strength, better long-term bone preservation, and reduced stress on each implant. For patients with sufficient bone density — especially in the lower jaw — All-on-6 is often the more conservative long-term choice, even if All-on-4 would also be viable.
Like All-on-4, the All-on-6 prosthetic is fixed permanently to the implants. It does not come out. You brush it like natural teeth, eat hard foods with confidence, and never deal with dentures, adhesives, or slipping. The difference is structural: with six points of support instead of four, the arch behaves more like a natural set of teeth under load.
All-on-4 vs All-on-6: Which One Is Right for You?
Both techniques restore a complete arch of teeth using titanium implants — the difference is how many implants support the arch and which patients benefit most from each approach. During your free consultation at InStyle Dental, we review your CBCT scan and bone density to recommend the right option. Here is how they compare:
| Factor | All-on-4 | All-on-6 |

Honest note:
More implants do not automatically mean better results. The right technique depends on your bone density, jaw anatomy, and long-term goals. During your free consultation, we review your CBCT scan and give you an honest recommendation — not an upsell.

The All-on-6 Process at InStyle Dental, Step by Step
Step 1
Free Virtual Consultation
Before you travel, we review your dental records and any recent X-rays or CBCT scans via video call. We give you an initial treatment plan and a transparent cost estimate — no surprises when you arrive.
Step 2
In-Person Evaluation & CBCT
At our Tijuana clinic we perform a 3D CBCT scan to measure bone density, nerve positions, and sinus anatomy. Your specialist confirms All-on-6 is the right choice and we plan each implant placement digitally.
Step 3
Extractions + Implant Placement
Under sedation, any failing teeth are extracted and the six titanium implants are placed using a surgical guide derived from your CBCT. A temporary arch is attached the same day so you leave the clinic with teeth.
Step 4
Final Prosthesis (Return Visit)
Once the implants are fully integrated, you return to Tijuana for the final zirconia or hybrid acrylic arch — custom-designed, color-matched, and permanently attached. You leave with your definitive smile.
Most San Diego and California patients complete their entire All-on-6 treatment in 3 visits to Tijuana — the surgical visit (2–3 days) and the final arch visit (1 day). The San Ysidro crossing is 30–45 minutes from downtown San Diego.

Dr. Jacob is a Board-Certified Implant Specialists
Your All-on-6 procedure is performed by specialists with over 30 years of combined experience in full-arch implant dentistry. They have completed thousands of cases for patients from the US, Canada, and across Mexico.
What Material Is the All-on-6 Arch Made Of?
The prosthetic arch that attaches to your four implants comes in two main materials. Our specialist will recommend the best option based on your bite force, aesthetic goals, and budget:
Full Zirconia Arch
- Strongest material available — highly resistant to chipping and cracking
- Translucent, natural-looking appearance
- Stain-resistant — maintains color over time
- Ideal for patients with strong bite force or bruxism
- Premium option — longer fabrication time
Acrylic Hybrid Arch
(Temporary or Long-Term)
- More affordable option
- Lighter weight — preferred by some patients
- Easier to repair or modify if needed
- Commonly used as the temporary arch during osseointegration
- Can be upgraded to zirconia at the final visit

What All-on-6 Patients From California Are Saying
No one can tell the difference until you go through a bad experience… I was the one dreaming in having a beautiful smile and also a functional natural teeth… when I found this Ángel of the dental art and technique Dr Jacobo Zuniga in Tijuana.
I am flying from Dallas Texas every time I need him…and guess what? It worth the effort… he is the most accurate professional dentist I knew. His qualifications in surgery and also implants are making him different among his colleagues.

★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5
He went over all of my options and was straight up and honest with the solutions available to me - let me know the costs (without hidden fees) and wasn't rude (as some of the other dentists had been) so nice to finally have someone without judgement
He put quite a few implants in my mouth and even through all of my situation he was calm and knew the right way to handle the situation.
The communication was great and the thoughtfulness and care was there before-during-and after the procedures. I wrote a long review on his former workplace's google but I just want to get to the point, this is the dentist that I had been searching for - for what felt like my whole life.

I've been going to Dr Jacob for about 5 years now. I cannot say enough good things about he and his wife. The work that he has done for me has been above and beyond any expectations that o could have had. For years I have been horrified of any dentist. Dr Jacob restored my faith in going to the dentist. I have even gone as far as making him my primary dentist , he's That good! He brought my smile and confidence back.

Frequently Asked Questions — All-on-6 Implants in Tijuana
How long do All-on-6 dental implants last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, All-on-6 implants can last 20 years or more. The titanium implants themselves often last a lifetime; the prosthetic arch may need refurbishing or replacement after 10–15 years depending on wear.
Is All-on-6 painful?
The procedure is performed under sedation, so you feel nothing during surgery. Recovery is typically manageable with standard prescription pain medication for the first 3–5 days. Most patients report less discomfort than they expected — closer to a routine extraction than major surgery.
How many trips to Tijuana are required?
Most All-on-6 cases require 2 to 3 trips over a 3 to 6 month period. Trip 1 covers the consultation, extractions, implant placement, and temporary prosthesis (3–4 days). Trip 2 is the fitting of the final arch after osseointegration (2–3 days). Some cases include a short third visit for adjustments.
Can I eat normally with All-on-6?
Yes. Once the final prosthesis is in place, you can eat virtually anything you ate with natural teeth — including steak, apples, nuts, and corn on the cob. The six implants provide enough stability to handle full chewing forces.
Will my All-on-6 teeth look natural?
Yes. The final prosthesis is designed to match your facial proportions, skin tone, and desired smile aesthetic. Zirconia and high-quality hybrid materials replicate the translucency and color of natural enamel. Most patients report their new smile looks better than their original teeth.
Do I need bone grafts for All-on-6?
Not always. All-on-6 requires enough bone at six placement sites, so patients with moderate bone loss may need a graft at one or more locations. During your consultation we review your CBCT scan and tell you exactly what is needed before you commit.
Is it safe to get All-on-6 done in Tijuana?
Yes. InStyle Dental operates to international standards, uses FDA-cleared implant systems, and follows the same sterilization and infection control protocols as top US clinics. Our specialists are board-certified and we have successfully treated thousands of international patients.
How do I cross the border for my appointment?
The San Ysidro border crossing is 30 to 45 minutes from our clinic. You can drive across, walk across (recommended), or use a service like the Cross Border Xpress from the Tijuana airport. We provide detailed travel instructions once your appointment is scheduled and can recommend hotels within walking distance of the clinic.
