All-on-6 dental implants are a big investment in your mouth, so material selection is key to long-term success.
Choosing between zirconia, titanium-hybrid, or acrylic can affect durability, aesthetics, and overall satisfaction with your restoration.
What are the best materials for All-on-6 dental implants?
The best materials for All-on-6 dental implants are full zirconia and titanium-zirconia hybrids. Full zirconia is best for aesthetics and biocompatibility; titanium-zirconia is best for durability and a natural look. Clinical studies show these materials achieve 95% success rates and can last 15–25 years with proper maintenance.

All-on-6 Implant Materials
Full Zirconia Implants
Full zirconia implants are the latest in dental prosthetics, super strong, and super aesthetic (7).
These implants are biocompatible; clinical studies show a 98.2% success rate over 5 years (8).
The monolithic zirconia structure eliminates the risk of chipping or delamination common in layered materials (10).
Recent studies show zirconia implants maintain their structure with minimal wear even after heavy use (7).

Titanium Frame with Zirconia Overlay
This hybrid option combines a titanium frame with a zirconia overlay, the best of both worlds (4).
Clinical data shows a 97.6% survival rate over 10 years for titanium-zirconia hybrid restorations (5).
The titanium base gives excellent osseointegration, and the zirconia overlay gives natural-looking results(2).
These hybrid options have shown superior fracture resistance compared to traditional materials (6).
Acrylic/Resin Options
Acrylic prosthetics are a more affordable option while still providing acceptable functional results (9).
Modern high-impact acrylics show improved durability; studies show 89% patient satisfaction (3).
These need more maintenance but can be modified or repaired if needed (9).
Clinical observations show 5-7 years for acrylic prosthetics with proper care(5).

Long-term analysis shows, although more expensive upfront, premium materials save 45% in maintenance costs over 10 years (5).
Studies show hybrid options are the best balance; maintenance costs €200-300 per year (9).
Warranty
Clinical data shows premium zirconia restorations have a 10 year warranty and a 96.5% success rate (10).
Manufacturing standards for titanium hybrids allow a 5-7 year warranty with performance guarantee (2).
Research shows certified materials maintain structure throughout the warranty period; only 1.2% need major adjustments (3).

Material Selection Factors
Mënyra e jetesës
Clinical studies show patients under 50 years old and active have 99.1% success with zirconia restorations (8).
Modern titanium hybrids show excellent resilience in high-stress patients; 0.5% wear after 5 years (4).
Material selection should consider dietary habits; some materials are better for certain eating habits (6).
Bite Force
Research shows premium materials can withstand natural bite forces over 1500N without structure compromise (7).
Clinical data shows proper material selection based on bite force pattern increases restoration longevity up to 40% (5).
Lab testing shows modern hybrid materials are stable even under extreme masticatory loads of 2500 N(2).

Buxheti
Economic analysis shows initial cost varies between €12,000 and €35,000 per arch; long-term value differs between materials (9).
Research shows choosing premium materials saves up to 60% on lifetime maintenance(3).
Research shows material selection impacts long-term success rates; higher-quality materials have 25% fewer complications (10).
All-on-6 vs All-on-4 Material Differences
