Status: READY_TO_PUBLISH · Apex Implant Centers Primary intent: all on 4 vs all on 6 / full arch implant options Phone: (916) 886-1806 NAP: 9340 W Stockton Blvd, Suite 120, Elk Grove, CA 95758 URL support: /blog/all-on-4-vs-all-on-6 Day-3: A-D3-01 As-of: 2026-09-21 ~3:08 PM PT
Full-arch implant plans are not one-size-fits-all. Some patients hear about four implants per arch; others hear about six. This page is education for your consult—not a claim that one option is always best, and not a price list.
What the numbers usually mean (education)
“All-on-4” and “All-on-6” describe how many implants may support a fixed full-arch restoration. More implants can mean different engineering and staging; fewer can mean a different surgical plan. Bone volume, bite forces, gum health, and healing history change what fits you. Online articles should not invent a universal winner.
Questions worth asking at consult
- Given my bone and bite, am I looking at four, six, or a staged plan?
- Will I leave with temporary teeth the same day—per my written plan?
- Who places the implants vs who finishes the final bridge?
- Soft-food window and what chewing is limited early?
- If grafting is needed first, how does that change the timeline?
- After-hours contact on my discharge sheet?
Write the answers down. Bring meds list, ID, and prior imaging if you have them. Rank your goals—chew strength, smile, fewer removable parts—so the plan discussion stays concrete.
Care pathway at the Elk Grove suite
Appointments are at 9340 W Stockton Blvd, Suite 120, Elk Grove unless your written plan says otherwise. Confirm parking and suite when you book. Maps and this page should match the same NAP. Plan a traffic buffer if imaging and planning share one visit. SMS dark—we will not text you from website forms.
After the consult
Keep soft-food ideas ready if a surgery date is set. Save the discharge contacts in your phone. Call sooner for fever, worsening swelling, or a temporary that loosens—using the number on your sheet, not a guessed directory listing.
