All-on-6 Dental Implants in Istanbul, Turkey

What Is All-on-6?

All-on-6 is a full-arch tooth replacement approach in which six implants are placed in the jaw at planned positions to support a fixed row of replacement teeth for an entire arch. It follows the same general principle as All-on-4, using more implants to spread support across the arch, which can be a consideration where more bone is available or extra stability is preferred.

What Can All-on-6 Treat?

All-on-6 is generally used for extensive tooth loss across a full arch, whether teeth have already been lost or remaining teeth are failing and need to be removed as part of the same treatment plan. Like All-on-4, it replaces an entire row of teeth at once with a single fixed restoration.

Types of Full-Arch Implant Treatment

• All-on-6. Six implants supporting a complete, fixed arch, generally chosen where more bone is available or extra support is a priority.
• All-on-4. The same underlying concept with four implants instead of six. See our All-on-4 page for a full comparison.
• All-on-6 combined with bone augmentation. Where imaging shows insufficient bone even for six implants, a sinus lift or bone graft may be planned first.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate?

All-on-6 is generally considered for patients with extensive tooth loss or failing teeth across an arch who have enough bone volume to comfortably support six implants, or whose dentist recommends extra support for the planned bite forces. Candidacy depends on bone quality, gum health, and general health, all assessed during a clinical consultation and imaging.

This section is general information. Individual candidacy can only be confirmed after a clinical examination, medical history review, and diagnostic imaging by a qualified dentist.

Consultation and Treatment Planning

Your case starts with sharing your dental history, concerns, and any imaging you already have through our contact form or WhatsApp. Because All-on-6 planning depends heavily on the shape and density of your jawbone across six implant sites, a CT scan is typically needed before a firm plan and price can be confirmed. Our team follows up with a personalised plan and free quote so you know what to expect before booking travel.

All-on-6 Procedure: Step by Step

1. Assessment and planning. Imaging, usually including a CT scan, and a clinical exam are used to plan the six implant positions.
2. Extraction (if needed) and implant placement. Any remaining unsuitable teeth are removed and the six implants are placed, often in the same visit, under local anaesthesia or IV sedation.
3. Temporary restoration. A provisional fixed bridge is typically attached the same day, so you leave with a full set of teeth while healing takes place.
4. Final restoration. Once healing is confirmed, usually several months later, a definitive fixed bridge is fitted in place of the temporary one.

Exact sequencing and timelines vary by case and are confirmed by your dentist after examination.

Treatment Timeline and Visits

Most All-on-6 cases involve two visits to Istanbul: an initial visit for extractions (if needed), implant placement, and a temporary fixed bridge, and a second visit some months later for the final restoration once the implants have fully integrated with the bone. Healing time varies by patient, but is generally in the range of 3 to 6 months. Your dentist will confirm a personalised timeline once your imaging has been reviewed.

Recovery and Aftercare

The initial days after surgery matter most for healing:

• If there’s bleeding, bite down on damp gauze for about an hour, or a moistened tea bag for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Use ice packs on the outside of your face for the first 24 hours to help with swelling.
• Wait until 48 hours have passed before starting warm salt water rinses.
• Avoid smoking for at least 72 hours; longer is better for healing.
• Plan on resting for 1 to 2 days, with your head kept elevated, including while you sleep.
• Stick to soft, cool foods while the area heals, gradually returning to normal foods as advised.
• Take any prescribed medication exactly as directed.

Because All-on-6 involves more implants than All-on-4, often alongside extractions in the same visit, some swelling and soreness in the first few days is normal. Our full pre-op and aftercare guide covers preparation and recovery in more detail.

Benefits

All-on-6 replaces a full arch of failing or missing teeth with a fixed set that looks and functions like natural teeth, without removing anything at night the way you would with a denture. The additional two implants compared with All-on-4 can help distribute biting forces more evenly across the arch, which some dentists consider an advantage for patients with sufficient bone to support them.

Risks and Limitations

As with any implant surgery, risks include infection or, in rare cases, one or more implants failing to integrate with the bone. All-on-6 is a more involved procedure than a single implant, combining more surgical sites than All-on-4, so recovery and the initial adjustment period tend to be more significant. Patients with insufficient bone even across six sites, or unmanaged health conditions affecting healing, may need additional treatment first.

Alternatives and Comparisons

• All-on-6 vs. All-on-4. All-on-4 uses two fewer implants, which can mean less surgery and a lower cost, while All-on-6 can offer extra support where more bone is available. See our All-on-4 page for a fuller comparison.
• All-on-6 vs. individual implants. Replacing each missing tooth with its own implant is possible but usually means significantly more implants, surgery, and cost for a full arch.
• All-on-6 vs. removable dentures. A full denture doesn’t require surgery, but sits on the gum rather than being anchored in the jaw, and most patients find a fixed All-on-6 restoration feels and functions closer to natural teeth.

Which option fits your case depends on your bone health, budget, and personal preference, something your dentist can help you weigh up after an examination.

Materials, Brands and Technology

The six implant posts are generally titanium or a titanium alloy, chosen for how well they integrate with bone. The fixed bridge attached to them is typically made from a durable material such as acrylic on a titanium frame for the temporary restoration, with options like zirconia often used for the final, definitive bridge. At Dentavivo, implant treatment is available using different implant systems, including MIS and Straumann implants; your dentist can talk you through which combination suits your case at consultation.

All-on-6 Cost at Dentavivo

At Dentavivo, All-on-6 starts from €5,400 for a full arch. This covers a complete, fixed set of replacement teeth on six implants, generally at a lower cost than the same standard would reach in the UK, US, or Western Europe. The exact price depends on factors including whether extractions or bone grafting are needed first, and the materials chosen for your final restoration.

We don’t publish a single fixed price for every case, since every patient’s treatment plan is different. Share some details about your case through our contact form or WhatsApp, and our team will follow up with a clear, personalized quote.

What Is Included for International Patients?

Once you share your case with us, our team reviews it and follows up with a personalised treatment plan and a free quote, confirmed only after your consultation and imaging, so there are no surprises once you arrive. We stay in touch by WhatsApp and email throughout, help you plan your visit dates around your treatment timeline, given All-on-6 typically needs two trips, and remain available if a question comes up after you’re back home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

Both are full-arch, fixed-teeth solutions built on strategically placed implants. All-on-6 uses six implants instead of four, which can offer additional support and may distribute bite force more evenly, particularly where more bone is available. Which approach suits you depends on your bone structure and overall treatment goals, assessed through imaging and consultation.

Who might be recommended All-on-6 instead of All-on-4?

Patients with sufficient bone volume to support six implants, or those whose dentist recommends extra support for the planned bite forces, may be advised toward All-on-6. This is a clinical decision made after examination, not a fixed rule.

Do I need a bone graft before All-on-6?

Not necessarily. Implant positions are planned to make use of available bone where possible, but if imaging shows insufficient volume in a specific area, a bone graft or sinus lift may be recommended first.

Do I get teeth on the same day as surgery?

Often, yes. A temporary fixed set of teeth can typically be attached to the implants on the same day as surgery. A final, definitive restoration is fitted later once healing is confirmed.

What is All-on-6?

All-on-6 is a full-arch restoration concept where six implants are placed at specific positions in the jaw to support a fixed set of replacement teeth for an entire arch. It works on the same principle as All-on-4, but the additional two implants can offer extra support where more bone is available.

How long do All-on-6 implants last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, the implants are designed to last for many years, often decades. The fixed prosthetic teeth may need adjustment or eventual replacement due to normal wear. Keeping up with aftercare and follow-up visits helps your restoration last as long as possible.

How much does All-on-6 cost in Turkey at Dentavivo?

At Dentavivo, All-on-6 treatment starts from €5,400 per arch. The final price depends on the materials used for the fixed prosthesis and your individual treatment plan. Share your case with us for a free, personalized quote.

How do I clean and care for All-on-6 implants?

All-on-6 restorations are cleaned similarly to natural teeth, with brushing at least twice a day and a water flosser or interdental brush to reach under the fixed bridge. Your dentist will show you the specific cleaning technique for your restoration before you leave. Regular professional check-ups also help catch any issues early.

Am I a good candidate for All-on-6?

Good candidates generally have enough bone volume in the jaw to support six implants and are missing most or all of their teeth in an arch. Suitability is confirmed through a clinical examination and imaging, which also helps determine whether All-on-4 or All-on-6 is the better fit for your case.

What are the risks or possible complications of All-on-6?

As with any implant-based treatment, possible complications include infection, implant failure, or issues with the fit of the fixed prosthesis over time. These are uncommon when the procedure is planned carefully and aftercare instructions are followed. Your dentist will discuss the specific risks for your case during your consultation.
