Cost Considerations
The cost of All-on-6 implants varies, with treatments abroad offering savings of up to 75% compared to domestic prices. In the US, prices range from $24,000 to $35,000 per arch, whereas, in Mexico, costs can be significantly lower, ranging from $12,000 to $16,000 per arch, without compromising quality, thanks to HebeDoc’s affiliations with top dental professionals.
High Standards Without the High Costs
The global standardization of dental technology ensures that lower costs do not equate to lower quality. Our top dentists are well-trained, often in Western countries, and adhere to international best practices and standards.
Several factors contribute to the affordability of dental care abroad, including lower operational costs, reduced insurance and legal expenses, and government incentives designed to bolster medical tourism.
What to Expect
- Pre-Procedure Considerations:
Before implantation, a comprehensive dental assessment, including scans to evaluate jawbone health, determines the need for preparatory steps such as tooth extractions or bone grafting.
- Bone Grafting: Ensuring Success:
For patients with insufficient jawbone density, bone grafting is a crucial preparatory step. This process facilitates the successful integration of implants with the jawbone, providing a solid base for the prosthetic teeth.
- The All-on-6 Procedure:
Performed under sedation, the procedure involves precise implant placement for optimal success. Following surgery, a temporary prosthesis is attached, replaced months later by a permanent solution, providing patients with a natural-looking smile and restored dental function.

Post Procedure
One of the most remarkable aspects of All-on-6 is the ability to attach a temporary prosthesis immediately after surgery. Within months, this is replaced with a permanent prosthesis, leaving you with a smile that looks and feels natural.
Post-procedure, patients undergo a healing phase, allowing for osseointegration where the implants fuse with the bone. Temporary prosthetics may be provided, leading to the eventual fitting of the permanent dental arch.
Procedure Length
The All-on-6 implant process, from initial consultation to the fitting of permanent prosthetics, typically spans several months, allowing for adequate healing and osseointegration.
Customization and Aesthetic Options
The final look of the All-on-6 prosthetics can be highly customized in terms of shape, color, and size of the teeth, allowing for a personalized and natural-looking result. Advanced digital imaging and CAD/CAM technology enable precise customization and fabrication of the prosthetic to meet each patient’s specific aesthetic and functional needs.
Efficiency and Benefits
Known as “teeth in a day,” the All-on-6 treatment allows patients to leave with a temporary set of teeth the same day, thanks to in-house laboratories at our partner clinics. This efficiency does not compromise the procedure’s numerous benefits, including enhanced oral functionality, long-term durability, and aesthetic improvements.
