Full-Arch Implant Treatment
All-on-6 Dental Implants in Turkey
All-on-6 in Turkey costs from £4,100 per arch for treatment, or from £8,650 as a full package, compared with roughly £12,000–£22,000 per arch in the UK. Six implants are not automatically better than four — the right number is decided from the final prosthetic plan. Taki Dent in Antalya provides a lifetime implant warranty; final cost is confirmed only after an in-person examination.
All-on-6 is a descriptive term for a fixed full-arch restoration supported by six dental implants in one arch. It may be considered where the patient’s anatomy, implant distribution and prosthetic plan support the use of six implants.
Six implants are not automatically better than four. The appropriate number should be decided from the final prosthetic design, available bone, implant positions, opposing teeth, hygiene access and the consequences of a future implant complication.
Preliminary assessment requests are reviewed only by our disclosed clinical partner, Taki Dent in Antalya.

Preliminary review cannot confirm that six implants are appropriate, whether remaining teeth should be extracted, whether grafting is required or whether immediate provisional teeth can be provided.
Costs
How Much Does All-on-6 Cost in Turkey?
All-on-6 prices should be compared per arch and on an itemised basis. A headline package price may not show whether implant fixtures, multi-unit abutments, extractions, imaging, the provisional bridge, the definitive prosthesis, laboratory work and any bone augmentation are included.
The final cost depends on the implant system, the condition of the remaining teeth and bone, whether one or both arches are treated, the provisional restoration, the definitive bridge material and any additional surgical or restorative procedures.
Taki Dent’s clinical team can prepare a preliminary treatment proposal after reviewing the available records. The final treatment plan and cost can change following the in-person examination and appropriate imaging. Taki Dent holds International Health Tourism Authorisation for the treatment of international patients; this authorisation is not a clinical accreditation or a guarantee of treatment outcome.

What Is All-on-6?
Six Implants, One Fixed Arch
All-on-6 describes a full-arch fixed dental prosthesis supported by six implants in the upper or lower jaw. It is not a single standardised protocol: implant positions, angulation, abutments, loading method and prosthetic materials can differ between patients.
The bridge is fixed by the clinical team and is not removed by the patient. However, it must be cleaned underneath and around the implant connections every day. It should not be described as functioning or being cleaned exactly like natural teeth. Routine professional removal of the bridge is not automatic; it may be necessary where hygiene is inadequate, or where peri-implant disease or a mechanical complication is present.
When both arches are treated, the term “full-mouth All-on-6” usually means six implants in the upper arch and six implants in the lower arch — not six implants for the entire mouth.
Treatment Choice
All-on-6 vs All-on-4: What Actually Changes?
The main numerical difference is that All-on-4 uses four implants per arch and All-on-6 uses six. This does not mean that six implants are automatically safer, stronger or longer-lasting.
Four appropriately distributed implants can support a one-piece full-arch fixed prosthesis. Additional implants may provide different distribution or allow segmented prosthetic designs in selected cases, but they may also require more available bone or additional augmentation. The decision should be based on the final prosthetic plan rather than a package name.
| Factor | All-on-4 | All-on-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Implant number | Four per treated arch | Six per treated arch |
| Implant angulation | Case-dependent | Case-dependent |
| Prosthetic design | Commonly one-piece | One-piece or, in selected cases, segmented |
| Bone requirements | Depends on distribution and anatomy | May require additional sites or augmentation |
| Immediate provisional bridge | Only where loading criteria are met | Only where loading criteria are met |
| Long-term survival | Implant number alone does not determine outcome | Implant number alone does not determine outcome |
| Cost | Depends on complete treatment scope | Often higher fixture/component cost, but must be itemised |
| Selection | Clinical and prosthetic planning | Clinical and prosthetic planning |
Treatment Stages
The Treatment Process
- 01
Preliminary Records Review
Dental photographs, panoramic X-rays and previous records can support a preliminary assessment. They cannot confirm the final number or position of implants.
- 02
In-Person Examination and Imaging
The clinical team examines the remaining teeth, gums, bite, soft tissues and available prosthetic space. Cross-sectional imaging, commonly CBCT, is generally used for full-arch implant planning to assess bone dimensions and relevant anatomical structures.
- 03
Prosthetically Driven Planning
Implant number and positions are planned around the intended definitive bridge, lip support, smile line, opposing teeth, available space, cantilever and hygiene access.
- 04
Implant Surgery
Where clinically appropriate, six implants are placed under local anaesthesia. Any sedation provision follows a separate assessment and consent process and only where it is genuinely available.
- 05
Provisional Restoration
A fixed provisional bridge may be connected on or shortly after surgery where implant stability and other immediate-loading criteria are satisfied. It is not guaranteed for every patient.
- 06
Healing Period
The patient follows the hygiene and dietary instructions provided by the clinical team. A provisional bridge does not permit unrestricted or normal chewing during healing.
- 07
Definitive Prosthesis
After healing and clinical reassessment, the definitive full-arch bridge is produced and fitted. The exact material and framework should be stated in the individual treatment proposal.
Realistic Expectations
Immediate Provisional Teeth Explained
A fixed provisional bridge may be connected on or shortly after surgery where implant stability and other immediate-loading criteria are satisfied. It is not guaranteed for every patient and is not the definitive long-term prosthesis.
Immediate loading may be predictable where there is careful case selection and sufficient primary implant stability. A need for simultaneous bone augmentation or sinus elevation is considered a relative contraindication to immediate loading. Patients may be advised to follow a soft-food protocol during healing.
Suitability
Clinical Suitability for All-on-6
All-on-6 is a significant surgical and prosthetic procedure. Suitability is determined after examination and appropriate imaging. Factors considered include:
- Condition and prognosis of remaining teeth
- Active gum disease
- Plaque control and ability to clean under a fixed bridge
- Smoking
- Diabetes and other healing-related conditions
- Relevant medication
- Available bone and anatomical limitations
- Implant distribution
- Opposing teeth or prosthesis
- Smile line and lip support
- Prosthetic space
- Parafunction or heavy bite forces
- Willingness to attend long-term maintenance
- Ability to arrange follow-up after returning to the UK
Conservative Care
Preserving Remaining Teeth Before Full-Arch Treatment
Full-arch implant treatment should not be selected solely because a patient prefers to replace all teeth at once. Each remaining tooth should be assessed individually for restorability, periodontal support and long-term prognosis.
Extraction of all remaining teeth is irreversible. Alternative treatment plans may include preserving selected teeth, periodontal treatment, removable dentures, implant overdentures or a combination of tooth-supported and implant-supported treatment.

Planning Ahead
What Happens If One of Six Implants Fails?
The effect of an implant complication depends on its position, the remaining implant distribution, the prosthetic design and when the problem occurs.
Having six implants may provide additional treatment-planning options in some configurations, but it does not guarantee that the existing bridge can continue to function unchanged after an implant is lost. Treatment may require removal or modification of the bridge, a healing period, replacement of the implant, use of another available site or production of a new prosthesis.
Before treatment, patients should ask how implant failure, bridge repair, additional appointments and travel expenses are handled.
Long-Term Care
Cleaning and Long-Term Maintenance
An All-on-6 bridge is not maintenance-free. Patients must clean around the implant connections and underneath the bridge every day using techniques demonstrated by the clinical team.
Professional reviews should assess plaque levels, bleeding, the surrounding tissues, bone levels, bridge fit, prosthetic screws, material wear and the patient’s ability to maintain hygiene. Recall frequency should reflect individual risk factors such as previous gum disease, smoking, systemic health and plaque control.
Planning Aftercare in the UK
Before travelling, confirm who will provide routine maintenance after returning to the UK. An unrelated UK dentist is not automatically responsible for treatment completed abroad and may not stock the required implant components. Ask Taki Dent to provide complete treatment records and a defined contact process for biological or technical complications.

All-on-6 Questions
All-on-4 uses four implants per treated arch, while All-on-6 uses six. Six implants are not automatically better or longer-lasting. The appropriate number depends on the final prosthetic design, available bone, implant distribution, anatomical limitations, hygiene access and future complication planning.
All-on-6 may be considered for patients requiring full-arch rehabilitation where six suitable implant positions can be incorporated into the surgical and prosthetic plan. Suitability cannot be decided from the number of missing teeth alone and requires examination and appropriate imaging.
It may cost more because additional implant fixtures and components are involved, but the total difference depends on the complete treatment scope. Prices should be compared per arch and item by item rather than by package name alone.
Treatment commonly involves a surgical visit followed by a healing period and a later visit for the definitive bridge. A provisional fixed bridge may be provided on or shortly after surgery where immediate-loading criteria are met. The exact timeline depends on healing, grafting requirements and the chosen clinical protocol.
Taki Dent’s clinical team can prepare a preliminary proposal after reviewing available photographs, X-rays and medical information. The online review cannot confirm that six implants are appropriate or establish the final treatment plan. Final diagnosis requires an in-person examination and appropriate imaging.
