The Advani A6™ — Keep Your Gums. Replace Your Teeth.
The Advani A6™ Protocol

Teeth that emerge from your own gums.

Most full-mouth implant bridges include a strip of pink acrylic or ceramic gum built into the prosthesis. It's there for a reason — to hide the gap where your natural gum used to be before the teeth were lost. For most patients, it's the only option.

The Advani A6™ is our protocol for patients where it isn't. When your bone and gum tissue can be preserved from the moment the first tooth is removed, we can anchor your new teeth so they appear to grow out of your own natural gum — no pink prosthetic band, no visible transition line. Just teeth.

In dentistry, this result is called an FP1 — Fixed Prosthesis Type 1. Teeth, no fake gum. Our A6™ is the way we get there.

"A6™" stands for Advani and the six implants per arch that anchor the bridge. Six — not four — gives the restoration more stability under bite force, more redundancy if any single implant has an issue over the years, and more options for positioning each implant exactly where your anatomy allows a true FP1 result.

How the A6™ Works

Natural-looking teeth, all in one day.

Every step of the A6™ is built around a single goal: giving you new teeth that look like they grew out of your own gums. Here's how we get there — all in one surgical visit for most patients.

Step 01

Preserve Your Bone and Gums First

The moment a tooth comes out, your body starts reabsorbing the bone and gum that supported it. If we lose that tissue, your new teeth can't emerge naturally — the gap has to be filled with pink prosthetic. Every A6™ begins with techniques to stop that tissue loss before it starts.

Step 02

Strategic 6-Implant Placement

Six implants per arch are placed in positions chosen to support natural tooth emergence — not just to hold the bridge up. More implants mean more bite force, more redundancy, and more flexibility in positioning them where your anatomy allows a true FP1 result.

Step 03

Remote Anchorage When Needed

If your upper jaw has lost significant bone, we anchor some of the implants into the pterygoid region or cheekbone (zygoma) — bypassing the areas where bone is missing. This avoids months of grafting and lets us complete your reconstruction in a single visit.

Step 04

Tissue-Preserving Techniques

Depending on which teeth are being removed and what the roots look like on CBCT, we may use partial extraction therapy (socket shield), root submergence, or a connective tissue graft. Each one protects a different part of your natural gum architecture.

Step 05

Same-Day Temporary Bridge

Before you leave the surgical visit, a full-arch temporary bridge is 3D-printed in-office and attached to your implants. You walk out with a complete smile the same day. The temporary is also shaped to guide your gums into healing in the exact contour we need for the final bridge.

Step 06

Tissue Sculpting During Healing

Over the next 3–4 months, your gums heal around the temporary bridge — gradually shaped by its contour. By the time you come back for the final, your tissue has matured into the exact position needed for a seamless FP1 emergence.

Step 07

Photogrammetry Capture

To design the final bridge, we capture the exact position of your implants and tissue using MicronMapper photogrammetry — precision-calibrated optical measurement, far more accurate than any impression material. This is what makes the final bridge fit without strain.

Step 08

Final Zirconia FP1 Bridge

Dr. Advani designs your final bridge in-office, and it is milled on our 5-axis mill from a solid block of zirconia. The result: a full-arch restoration where the teeth emerge from your own natural gum, with no pink prosthetic material and no visible transition — the signature A6™ outcome.

Pre-Surgical Planning

Planned twice, in two AI-driven platforms.

An A6™ can't be planned by eye. The margin for error — the millimeter difference between natural tooth emergence and a visible transition line — is too small. Every A6™ case is planned in Blue Sky Plan, which uses your 3D CT scan to map every implant's position, depth, and angle. Then the case is planned a second time, independently, in X-Guide — the planning platform for our X-Nav surgical navigation system.

Double the planning, in the two most advanced implant planning platforms available — both using AI to help identify your anatomy and check implant trajectories. If the two plans agree, we operate. If they diverge, we figure out why before the drill ever touches bone. During surgery, the plan is carried out with X-Nav dynamic navigation — the same technology used in neurosurgery — verified live and accurate to within fractions of a millimeter.

Treatment Workflow

From planning to final delivery.

The Advani A6™ is completed in a single surgical visit, followed by a 3–4 month healing window before your final zirconia bridge is delivered. Here's exactly what to expect at each stage.

Step One · Planning Visit

CBCT & Dual-Platform Digital Planning

A cone-beam CT captures your bone volume, sinus position, nerve anatomy, and remaining tooth structure. The case is then planned independently in two AI-driven platforms — Blue Sky Plan and X-Guide — mapping each implant's position, angle, and depth, and identifying exactly how much bone can be preserved to support a true FP1 result. A 3D model of your jaw is printed so the surgery can be rehearsed before you sit in the chair.

II
Step Two · Surgery Day

Extractions & Implant Placement

Under IV sedation, all remaining teeth in the arch are removed and the ridge is precisely contoured — enough to seat the bridge, but no more, so your natural gum architecture stays intact. Four to six implants are placed using X-Nav dynamic navigation, following the digital plan exactly. Multi-unit abutments are connected and the arch is prepared to receive the temporary bridge.

Step Three · Same Day

Same-Day Temporary Bridge

A full-arch temporary bridge is 3D-printed in-office and screwed directly onto the implants the same visit. You leave with a complete smile in place — designed to support the gum tissue as it heals and guide it into the precise contour planned for your final bridge.

III
IV
Step Four · 3–4 Months

Healing & Tissue Maturation

Over the next three to four months, the implants osseointegrate with the bone while your gum tissue heals and matures around the temporary bridge. A soft-food diet is recommended during this window. Routine check-ins monitor healing, tissue health, and the settling of the gum line into its final position.

Step Five · Final Visit

Final Zirconia Bridge Delivery

Photogrammetry and intraoral scanning capture the exact implant positions and the mature tissue contour. Dr. Advani designs the final zirconia bridge in-office and it is milled on our 5-axis mill on site. The result: a full-arch restoration where the teeth emerge from your own natural gum, with no pink prosthetic material, no visible metal, and no waiting on an outside lab.

V
Candidacy

Are you an A6™ candidate?

Not everyone qualifies for the A6™. A true FP1 result requires enough bone and gum tissue to support teeth that emerge naturally — and that depends on your current anatomy, when your teeth were lost, and the condition of what remains. A CBCT scan is the only way to know for sure, but these are the patterns we see most often in A6™ candidates:

  • I

    Teeth that are failing but still present

    The best A6™ candidates still have most of their teeth — even if they're loose, decayed, or periodontally compromised. We can preserve the gum and bone architecture at the moment of extraction before any of it is lost.

  • II

    A high smile line

    If your smile shows significant gum when you smile fully, you have the most to gain from an A6™. A standard FP3 bridge would show its pink prosthetic transition line in exactly the area you don't want to see it.

  • III

    Adequate remaining bone

    The CBCT scan shows us whether you have enough bone volume to seat 6 implants in positions that support natural tooth emergence. Where bone is thin in one area, we can often use remote anchorage (pterygoid or zygomatic implants) to bypass it.

  • IV

    You care about how it looks, long-term

    Any full-arch bridge gives you teeth again. The A6™ gives you teeth that still look like your own 10, 15, 20 years later — because we preserved the natural foundation from day one, rather than hiding its absence behind pink prosthetic.

Common Questions

The Advani A6™, answered.

  • What makes the A6™ different from "All-on-4" or a standard full-arch bridge?+
    A standard All-on-4 uses four implants and a bridge with a pink prosthetic gum built into it — the pink hides the gap where your natural gum used to be. The A6™ uses six implants and preserves your natural gum from the moment the first tooth comes out, so the final bridge can be built with no pink prosthetic. Your new teeth look like they emerge from your own gums, not from a bridge. The clinical name for that result is FP1 — the A6™ is our protocol for creating one.
  • Why 6 implants instead of 4?+
    Three reasons. First, more bite force — six implants distribute chewing pressure across more anchor points, which protects the bridge long-term. Second, redundancy — if any single implant has an issue over the years, the others still support the bridge. Third, positioning flexibility — six implants give us more options to place each one exactly where your anatomy allows the teeth to emerge from your natural gum, which is what makes FP1 possible in the first place.
  • Am I a candidate for the A6™?+
    Candidacy depends on how much bone and gum tissue you have, and when your teeth were lost. The best candidates still have most of their teeth — because we can preserve your natural tissue at the moment of extraction before any of it is reabsorbed. Patients who have been without teeth for years may have lost too much bone to support a true FP1 result, but even then, remote anchorage techniques (pterygoid or zygomatic implants) can sometimes make the A6™ possible. A 3D CT scan tells us for certain. If the A6™ isn't the right fit, we'll explain why and present the alternatives honestly.
  • Is it really all done in one surgery?+
    Yes. Under IV sedation, all remaining teeth in the arch are removed, 6 implants are placed (including any remote anchorage implants), tissue preservation techniques are applied, and a full-arch 3D-printed temporary bridge is attached to the implants — all in one visit. You leave with a complete smile the same day. The surgery itself typically takes 4–6 hours. After a 3–4 month healing period, you return for the final zirconia bridge.
  • What is "partial extraction therapy" or "socket shield"?+
    When your natural tooth comes out, so does the root — and the body treats the empty socket as a signal to reabsorb the surrounding bone and gum. Partial extraction therapy keeps a thin shield of your natural root attached to the inside of the socket, which keeps the blood supply to the gum intact and prevents collapse. We only use this technique on teeth where it's safe and beneficial. Where it isn't, we use root submergence or connective tissue grafting to achieve a similar result.
  • How much does the A6™ cost?+
    The Advani A6™ starts at $21,875 per arch ($43,750 for both arches), or from about $275 per month financed with approved credit. That is $5,000 per arch more than a standard full-arch zirconia bridge, because of the additional implants, the dual-platform planning workflow, X-Nav navigation during surgery, in-house photogrammetry, and the in-house zirconia bridge fabrication. We publish starting prices transparently on our Cost & Financing page, and we quote your exact case in writing at consultation. Financing is available through CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed Finance.
  • What if I only need one tooth replaced?+
    The same FP1 philosophy applies to single-tooth cases. A single implant with partial extraction therapy, socket shield, or connective tissue grafting can give you a tooth that emerges from your natural gum without any visible transition. We just call it an FP1 single implant rather than an A6™ (which specifically means the full-arch, 6-implant protocol). The consultation and planning process is the same.
  • Can the A6™ fail?+
    Any surgical procedure carries some risk. The main ones are implant failure (where an implant doesn't integrate with the bone during healing) and tissue preservation that doesn't heal as planned. Both are uncommon with modern protocols — dual-platform digital planning, X-Nav navigation, and careful case selection via CBCT — but no procedure is risk-free. The 10-year warranty on your final zirconia bridge covers implant failure during that window.
  • Is FP3 (a bridge with pink gum) an inferior option?+
    No. FP3 is the right design for many people, especially when years of bone and gum loss mean the gum line needs to be rebuilt, or when the lip covers the gum line when smiling. It can look excellent and is often easier to clean. FP1 is for patients whose bone and gums can be preserved and who want teeth that come straight out of their own gums. The goal is the right design for your anatomy, not one design for everyone.
  • Does FP1 mean I won't need any gum surgery?+
    Not necessarily. Keeping your own gums often involves soft-tissue procedures done during the same surgery, such as a connective tissue graft, socket shield or root submergence. Those are part of how the A6™ preserves the gum line, not a separate step later.
  • I've worn dentures for years. Can I still get FP1?+
    Sometimes. Long-term denture wear often leads to bone and gum shrinkage, and when too much has been lost, a bridge that replaces gum (FP3) usually gives a better result. A CBCT scan and smile evaluation at the consultation will show which design suits you. FP1 is most often a fit for people who still have their own teeth, even failing ones.
