Full Mouth Implants
All-on-6 Dental Implants in Turkey
All-on-6 is a full arch dental restoration using six implants to support a fixed prosthetic bridge. For patients with extensive tooth loss and sufficient bone structure, it offers a fixed, functional alternative to removable dentures.
What Is All-on-6?
Six Implants, One Fixed Arch
All-on-6 refers to a treatment approach where a full arch of replacement teeth is supported by six titanium dental implants. These implants are placed strategically within the jawbone to provide stable anchorage for a fixed bridge or prosthetic arch.
Unlike removable dentures, which sit on top of the gums and can shift or require adhesives, an All-on-6 restoration is fixed in place. The prosthetic teeth are not removed for cleaning — they function similarly to a full set of natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak and smile without the concerns associated with removable appliances.
The treatment addresses one arch at a time. If both upper and lower arches require treatment, this would involve two separate All-on-6 procedures — sometimes referred to as full-mouth All-on-6.
All-on-6 vs All-on-4
The primary difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6 is the number of implants used per arch. All-on-4 uses four implants, with the rear two typically placed at an angle to maximise contact with available bone. All-on-6 uses six implants, generally placed with less angulation.
In clinical terms, the additional implants in All-on-6 can distribute the forces of biting and chewing across a larger number of anchor points. This may be advantageous for patients with specific bone density considerations, or where the treating clinician determines that additional support is appropriate for the planned prosthetic.
Neither approach is universally superior to the other. The appropriate choice depends entirely on each patient's individual anatomy, bone structure and clinical presentation. A qualified implantologist will recommend the approach that is most suitable for your specific case following review of diagnostic scans.
The Treatment Process
Diagnostic imaging
A CT scan or CBCT (cone beam CT) is typically required before treatment planning. This allows the clinician to assess bone volume, bone density and the positions of nerves and sinuses — all of which affect implant placement planning.
Treatment planning
Using the imaging data, the clinical team determines the optimal number and position of implants, and designs the prosthetic restoration to achieve both function and aesthetics.
Implant surgery
Six titanium implants are placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Some clinics also offer sedation options. A temporary fixed bridge is often fitted on the same day or within a few days, allowing you to function while the implants heal.
Healing period
Osseointegration — the process by which bone bonds to the implant surface — typically takes several months. During this time, the temporary prosthetic allows normal function.
Final restoration
Once integration is confirmed, the permanent prosthetic bridge is fitted. This is typically a zirconia or hybrid construction designed for durability and aesthetics.
Cost Considerations
All-on-6 treatment costs in Turkey vary depending on the materials used for the final prosthetic, the clinic, whether both arches are being treated and the complexity of your specific case. As a general indication, the cost of All-on-6 per arch in Turkey is typically in the range of £5,000–£9,000, compared to £15,000–£25,000+ for equivalent private treatment in the UK — though these are illustrative ranges only.

Important Clinical Considerations
All-on-6 is a significant surgical and prosthetic procedure. As with any dental implant treatment, clinical suitability can only be determined following proper assessment by a qualified clinician. Factors such as overall health, bone density, smoking history and gum health all affect candidacy and long-term outcomes.
We strongly encourage all patients to request a written treatment plan before committing to any procedure, to understand exactly what is included in the quoted price, and to discuss aftercare arrangements clearly — including what happens if complications arise during or after treatment.

All-on-6 Questions
Both procedures use implants to support a fixed full arch of replacement teeth. All-on-4 uses four strategically angled implants per arch, while All-on-6 uses six. The additional implants in All-on-6 can offer increased stability and load distribution, which may be beneficial in certain clinical situations. The appropriate number of implants depends on your specific anatomy and bone density, which a dentist can assess following a CT scan.
All-on-6 may be considered for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in one or both arches and have sufficient bone structure to support six implants. Patients who have more bone volume available, or those where additional stability is clinically appropriate, may be candidates. A CT scan is essential for assessing suitability in any implant case.
In most cases, yes. Because All-on-6 involves two additional implants per arch, the procedure typically costs more than All-on-4. The exact cost difference depends on the clinic, the materials used and the complexity of your case. Request a personalised quote to understand what costs would apply to your specific situation.
The timeline for All-on-6 treatment varies. Many clinics provide a temporary fixed bridge shortly after implant placement, which you can function with during the healing period. The final permanent prosthetic is typically fitted after the implants have integrated with the bone — a process that usually takes several months. You may need two separate visits: one for the implant procedure and one for the final fitting.
You can submit a quote request with your details and any relevant X-rays or CT scans. Clinics can prepare indicative quotes based on this information. However, a final and confirmed treatment plan would typically require a consultation and clinical assessment — which may be in person or via a detailed review of diagnostic scans.
