Implant supported bridges, how many implants should be placed? Getting worried! Rephrased with more info.

Asked By:having teeth done in Springfield, MO

I had full extractions,wth interim dentures, scheduled for implanted supported . Now I'm worried that this may become a problem with bone loss under the bridges. He plan is 3 bridges per arch 12 "teeth" per arch total, was hoping 14, cemented to implanted abutments. The dentist suggested 6 implants, and this doesn't seem enough to prevent bone loss, or support that length of bridges. Also, is cementing to implants the best plan, as opposed to screwed in? Any input would be appreciated!
