All On 6 Dental Implant

What is all on 6 dental implant?

All-on-6 is a full-arch dental implant treatment in which a complete set of fixed teeth is supported by six implants placed in the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both. Instead of replacing each missing tooth with its own implant, the prosthesis is anchored to six strategically positioned implants. This gives you a stable, fixed bridge that looks and feels like natural teeth and does not need to be removed at night.

Compared with All-on-4, the two additional implants spread the chewing forces over a wider area. This can give extra stability, especially in the back of the jaw where bite pressure is highest. Your dentist will decide whether All-on-6 is the right option after examining your bone volume and bite.

Why choose Alanya/Antalya for your All-on-6 treatment?

Alanya and Antalya are among Turkey's most popular destinations for dental tourism. At our clinic you can combine specialist implant care with a stay by the Mediterranean, in modern facilities with international sterilisation and hygiene standards. Many patients find that treatment in Turkey costs significantly less than in the UK, Germany or other European countries, while the clinical standard remains high. Our team speaks English, Turkish, German and Russian, so you can discuss every step of your treatment in your own language.

Who is a good candidate for All-on-6?

• People who have lost most or all of their teeth in one or both jaws
• Patients with failing teeth that cannot be saved because of advanced decay or gum disease
• Denture wearers who want a fixed, more comfortable solution
• Patients with enough bone, or those who can have a bone graft or sinus lift first

Heavy smokers and people with uncontrolled diabetes or other chronic conditions may need extra evaluation. Suitability is always confirmed after a clinical examination and a 3D scan.

Benefits of All-on-6 dental implants

• Fixed teeth that do not slip, click or need adhesive
• Strong biting and chewing ability, so you can enjoy a varied diet
• Natural-looking teeth designed to suit your face and smile
• Helps preserve jawbone and supports facial structure
• Usually no need for bone grafting in many cases, which shortens treatment
• Temporary teeth can often be fitted on the day of surgery, depending on your case

The All-on-6 treatment process

The exact timeline depends on your case, but treatment usually follows these steps:

1. Consultation and planning: We examine your mouth, take a 3D CBCT scan and digital photos, and prepare your personal treatment plan. You can start with a free online consultation before you travel.
2. Surgery: Any hopeless teeth are removed and six implants are placed in each jaw being treated. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, with sedation options available if you prefer.
3. Temporary teeth: When the implants are stable enough, a temporary fixed prosthesis is fitted so that you leave with teeth.
4. Healing period: The implants fuse with the bone over roughly 3–6 months. You can return home during this time and follow our aftercare instructions.
5. Final prosthesis: After healing, your permanent teeth are made, tested and fitted, with final adjustments to your bite and appearance.

What is included in your treatment?

• Examination, 3D scan and personal treatment plan
• Six implants per jaw from internationally recognised implant systems
• Extractions and surgery where needed
• Temporary fixed teeth during healing
• Permanent prosthesis made to your measurements
• Aftercare guidance and follow-up support

Frequently asked questions

Is the All-on-6 procedure painful?

The surgery is carried out under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Swelling, mild discomfort and tenderness for a few days afterwards are normal and are usually controlled with the medication we prescribe.

What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

All-on-4 uses four implants per jaw, while All-on-6 uses six. The additional implants can spread bite forces more evenly and may be recommended when the jawbone allows it or when a stronger support is needed. Your dentist will recommend the better option after your scan.

How long do All-on-6 implants last?

With good oral hygiene, regular check-ups and no smoking, implants can last many years and often decades. The prosthesis itself may need maintenance or replacement over time because of normal wear.

Do I need bone grafting?

Not always. Because the implants can be placed at an angle or in denser areas of bone, many patients can be treated without grafting. If your bone is very thin, a graft or sinus lift may be advised, and your dentist will explain this after the scan.

Will I leave the clinic without teeth?

In most suitable cases, you leave with a temporary fixed prosthesis. Whether it can be fitted on the day of surgery depends on how stable your implants are.

How long do I need to stay in Turkey?

The first stage usually takes about one week. You then return home while the implants heal and come back for the final prosthesis. Your dentist will give you a schedule that suits your case.

What can I eat after the treatment?

For the first weeks, we recommend soft foods and avoiding very hard or sticky items while the implants heal. After the final teeth are fitted, most patients return to a normal diet.

How do I take care of my implants?

Brush twice a day, clean under the prosthesis with interdental brushes or a water flosser, and attend a check-up at least every six months. Not smoking greatly improves long-term success.

Can I travel home straight after treatment?

Most patients can travel once the first stage is complete and their dentist confirms it is safe. We will give you written aftercare instructions and stay in contact once you are home.
