All on 6 Smile – for whom?
If, for various reasons, your smile is not complete, the All on 6 Smile method may be the right solution. This method is for you if you:
- want to chew food freely again,
- want to get rid of the discomfort of wearing removable dentures (lack of stability, falling out, abrasions, cleaning),
- want to have an aesthetic smile even if you are missing a few teeth,
- want to get rid of removable dentures to prevent further bone atrophy (i.e. bone loss),
- want to restore bone stimulation through implants, and effectively stop the process of bone loss
- want to counteract the consequences of bone atrophy (malocclusion and the deterioration of facial aesthetics: sunken lips and cheeks, as well as wrinkles,
- have no teeth or the remaining teeth can no longer be saved and you want to restore the proper function and aesthetics of your teeth.
If any of the above apply to you, make an appointment for a consultation at Project Smile where we will design a smile according to your current oral conditions and needs.
What is
All on 6 Smile?
The All on 6 Smile treatment involves replacing the patient’s missing teeth with 6 implants and prosthetic work fixed to the implants. The dental surgeon positions 6 implants (screws) in the patient’s jawbone to which our prosthetic specialist attaches an individually designed bridge. It is a permanent solution that allows you to restore bone stimulation biting and chewing function, taste sensation, and a healthy smile
In the first stage of treatment, the dental surgeon positions 6 implants in the jawbone and puts on a custom-made fixed acrylic bridge prepared by the dental technician in the laboratory. After the implants have integrated with the bone (osseointegration), the prosthetic specialist can load the implants with a permanent bridge that is very aesthetic, durable and will function for many years. The time between the implantation and the placement of the final prosthetic work depends on individual bone conditions and, if necessary, bone augmentation procedures, and usually takes 6 to 12 months.
A permanently fixed bridge supported on 6 implants (All on 6 Smile) is an excellent alternative for people who are not satisfied with the use of conventional removable dentures, and want to increase their comfort of life, eating, regain a full set of teeth and self-confidence.
If bone conditions are suitable, All on 6 Smile is the preferred method to replace missing teeth in the maxilla. The upper jawbone is softer and has less density as compared to the lower jawbone, so resting the prosthetic work on more supporting points (6 implants in the All on 6 Smile method compared to 4 implants in the All on 4 Smile method) ensures greater stability and durability. Especially since the prosthetic work and gravity is pulling the implants downward in the upper jaw, so it puts more load on the implants as compared to the lower jaw, where the prosthetic work is laying on the gums and 4 implants are enough to keep it in place
For the All on 6 Smile procedure to be performed, the patient needs to have better bone conditions (sufficient bone across the entire jaw)or may require more extensive bone augmentation procedures than in case of the All on 4 Smile treatment. Full diagnostics allows for the assessment of bone occlusal conditions and the selection of the appropriate method.
Prosthetic work is a device (prothesis) designed and farbicated by a dental technician in the laboratory, to be placed on implants or own roots to restore missing or broke teeth.
A dental implant is a titanium screw ((like a tooth root)) with a special surface and shape. It is surgically positioned in the jawbone to integrate (“fuse”) with it so as to replace a missing root, restore bone stimulation and provide the basis for prosthetic work.
A fixed (non-removable) acrylic bridge is used for 6 to 12 months from the implantation until the implants integrate with the bone, soft tissue/gum heals and the final permanent prosthetic work can be placed. The acrylic prosthesis allows a patient after implant placement to leave the office with a full set of teeth and return to everyday life.
An acrylic bridge differs from a ceramic one in the material it is made of, and consequently its durability and aesthetics. Ceramic work allows for the most accurate reproduction of the appearance of natural teeth. Ceramics is also mechanically very strong, which allows you to bite hard foods. Prosthetic work made of ceramic is sometimes called the “permanent” or “final” one because it is the most aesthetic and durable solution, which serves its purpose and function for years.
The first stage of the treatment is a consultation with the dental surgeon and prosthetic specialist who decide on the patient’s suitability for the procedure upon performing a 3D CBCT (cone bean computed tomography) scan, comprehensive oral examination and taking into account oral and bone conditions to create a plan
After agreeing on a final treatment plan, the dental surgeon positions the implants and loads them with a fixed acrylic bridge , which is aesthetic and functional. Thanks to it, the patient can eat normally, feel comfortable and enjoy a natural-looking smile with replacement teeth in just one day.
After a period of 6 to 12 months ideally or longer, it is possible to replace the fixed acrylic bridge with a more permanent and durable ceramic bridge, which is prepared by a dental technician in the laboratory and custom made to the individual needs of the patient in terms of the materials used, colour and shape.
Prosthetic work used during the treatment at Project Smile can be divided into long term temporaries and more permanent prosthetics. After the first appointment, the prosthetic specialist fixes prosthetic work made of acrylic on the implants. This solution allows for a quick return to everyday, normal functioning. After a period of implant integration with the jawbone, the acrylic work can be replaced with the final, highly aesthetic and durable permanent ceramic work.
At Project Smile, we use Swiss Neodent implants, which belong to the Straumann Group. The manufacturer’s global reach ensures easy maintenance and the safety of our patients regardless of their current place of residence.
Prosthetic works are prepared by experienced Wiligała Lab which is an official Partner Laboratory of the Straumann Group. This cooperation allows us to create prosthetics individually designed to the needs of patients.
Is it possible to make a smile in a day? Yes and no! In the case of implant-supported prosthetics, thanks to proper preparation, it is possible to reconstruct teeth in a day. During the consultation appointment, the occlusion (i.e. the relation between the maxilla and the mandible) is registered, and a intraoral scan of the teeth and gums is being taken, so that the laboratory can prepare a individually designed acrylic bridge. It is being fixed the implants on the day of the implant placement. For patients coming from abroad, we reserve time in the office for a consultation and bite registration and after a few days of lab fabrication to insert the implants and the acrylic bridge work in just one day.

At your consultation appointment, your doctor will discuss your treatment plan with you and also offer you two options:
Option 1: consultation only, 1 day in our clinic
Initial consultation, during which the doctor will perform a three-dimensional computed tomography and a comprehensive intraoral examination. Then, taking into account the bone and occlusal conditions, the dentist will discuss the treatment plan and prepare a quote. After the visit, you can go home and finish your treatment at our clinic in Gdansk at a later time.
Option 2: consultation and treatment, 4-5 working days in our clinic. The most frequently chosen option by our patients.
During the stay, the patient undergoes a free initial consultation, during which the doctor will perform a three-dimensional computed tomography as well as a comprehensive intraoral examination and, taking into account bone and occlusal conditions, will present the final treatment plan. Thanks to the interview conducted before your arrival to Poland, the patient will have a pre-booked time in the doctor’s schedule for the necessary treatment. The first stage of the treatment ends with a permanent acrylic restoration that is aesthetically pleasing and functional. Thanks to it, the patient can enjoy a beautiful smile and return home.
- Replacement of the acrylic restoration with the prosthetic restoration.
After a period of 4 to 12 months, it is possible to replace the acrylic prosthetic work with a more durable and aesthetic restoration.
