All-on-6
A fixed full-arch prosthetic concept supported by six implants for increased stability and support.
What Are the Advantages of This Treatment?
Broader load distribution: the additional implants help spread force more evenly across the jaw, which can reduce overload on the prosthesis.
Excellent support for extensive porcelain or zirconia restorations: the stronger substructure can support a highly stable and esthetic full-arch design.
A true farewell to removable dentures: the result is intended to feel fixed, secure and much closer to natural teeth.
Advanced support for upper-jaw biomechanics: when bone quality is softer, the wider implant foundation can provide valuable extra stability.
Treatment Stages
Digital Evaluation & Torque Planning
The six implant sites are planned in detail with special attention to bone volume, posterior support and biomechanical load distribution.
Single-Stage Surgical Workflow
If needed, failing teeth are removed and six implant pillars are placed in the same surgical session under controlled conditions.
Temporary Prosthetic Phase
As with All-on-4, a temporary screw-retained prosthesis may be connected early so the healing phase can proceed with fixed teeth in place.
Definitive Zirconia or Porcelain Completion
Once osseointegration is complete, the final restoration is attached to deliver the planned esthetic and functional outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference between All-on-6 and All-on-4, and why would six implants be recommended?
All-on-6 adds two more implants to create broader support and distribute chewing forces over a wider area. This can be particularly useful in softer upper-jaw bone or in patients whose bite strength and anatomy make additional support desirable.
How does the All-on-6 procedure progress step by step?
The process starts with 3D imaging and digital planning so that implant positions and torque values can be mapped accurately. In a single surgery, failing teeth can be removed and six titanium implants placed. A temporary fixed bridge may then be delivered while the implants heal, followed later by the definitive zirconia or porcelain prosthesis.
Is All-on-6 surgery painful, and how long is recovery?
Treatment is performed under local anesthesia, and in appropriate cases additional comfort support may be used. Mild swelling or tenderness after surgery is common but usually manageable. Many patients return to daily routine within a few days, even though the implants continue integrating with the jaw over the following months.
How long do All-on-6 implants last?
With thorough oral hygiene and regular maintenance, the implant foundations can remain stable for decades. The visible prosthesis may need maintenance or renewal over time depending on wear, bite forces and long-term use.
Am I a candidate for All-on-6?
Patients with complete tooth loss, numerous non-restorable teeth, strong bite forces or upper-jaw conditions that call for broader support are often considered for All-on-6. Imaging and full assessment determine whether it is the right concept.
Will my new All-on-6 teeth look natural?
Yes. The bridge is custom-designed to match your facial proportions, gum line and smile esthetics, and the six-point support helps keep the prosthesis stable with minimal unwanted movement.
Is All-on-6 treatment in Turkey cost-effective?
Turkey offers full-arch implant treatment at costs that are often much lower than in many European or North American markets while still providing access to digital planning, experienced clinicians and premium restorative materials.
When can I eat hard foods again after surgery?
During the healing phase, softer foods are recommended so the implants are not overloaded. Once osseointegration is complete and the final prosthesis has been delivered, chewing ability typically improves significantly and food options expand accordingly.
