What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?
All-on-6 dental implants represent an advanced full-arch restoration solution that provides exceptional stability and functionality for patients with extensive tooth loss. This innovative technique, available at premier standards in Turkey, utilizes six strategically placed dental implants to support an entire arch of replacement teeth.
The All-on-6 method enhances the already successful All-on-4 implants concept by adding two additional implants, providing superior support and distribution of biting forces. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with reduced bone density or those who have strong chewing habits and require additional stability.
At Dental Treatment Turkey, our specialized implantology team delivers this premium restoration solution at a fraction of Western prices while maintaining the highest international standards of quality and care.
Benefits of All-on-6 Dental Implants
Enhanced Stability and Support
The primary advantage of the All-on-6 technique is the superior structural support provided by six implants instead of four:
- Wider distribution of biting forces across additional implants
- Better load balancing for improved long-term stability
- Enhanced support for the posterior (back) regions of the jaw
- Reduced stress on each individual implant, extending longevity
- Increased stability for patients with stronger chewing habits
Preservation of Jawbone Structure
Like all dental implants, the All-on-6 system helps maintain bone density and prevent the facial collapse often associated with tooth loss:
- Six implants provide greater bone stimulation than four
- Strategic placement ensures comprehensive jawbone preservation
- Prevents the aged appearance caused by bone resorption
- Maintains facial proportions and aesthetics long-term
- Reduces the need for future bone grafting procedures
Immediate Functionality
The All-on-6 technique employs the same immediate-loading principles as All-on-4:
- Fixed, provisional prosthesis attached on the same day as surgery
- Ability to smile, speak, and eat immediately after the procedure
- No period of being without teeth during treatment
- Continuous stimulation of the jawbone beginning from day one
- Gradual adjustment to your new teeth while healing occurs
Superior Aesthetics and Comfort
All-on-6 implants provide exceptional aesthetic results and comfort:
- Additional implants allow for optimal prosthesis design
- Natural-looking emergence profile from the gumline
- No palatal coverage or extension like traditional dentures
- Enhanced facial support for a more youthful appearance
- Comfortable fit with no pressure on gum tissues
Long-Term Cost Effectiveness
While initially more investment than All-on-4 implants, All-on-6 offers excellent long-term value:
- Enhanced longevity of the prosthetic due to better support
- Reduced risk of implant failure requiring replacement
- Lower lifetime maintenance costs
- Better preservation of surrounding oral structures
- Potential avoidance of future bone augmentation procedures
The All-on-6 Procedure: Step-by-Step
1. Comprehensive Consultation and Planning
Your All-on-6 journey begins with thorough diagnostics and planning:
- Detailed clinical examination of your oral health
- Advanced 3D CT scanning for precise bone assessment
- Comprehensive facial and dental analysis
- Digital smile design to preview your results
- Custom treatment plan development
2. Pre-Surgical Preparation
Before the procedure, our specialists will:
- Perform any necessary tooth extractions
- Create surgical guides for precise implant placement
- Design your provisional restoration
- Prepare you with pre-operative instructions
- Address any existing oral health issues
3. Surgical Procedure
The All-on-6 implant surgery typically involves:
- Administration of appropriate anesthesia for complete comfort
- Strategic extraction of any remaining problematic teeth
- Preparation of the implant sites according to the surgical guide
- Precise placement of six titanium implants in optimal positions
- Attachment of specialized abutments to the implants
4. Immediate Prosthesis Placement
On the same day as your surgery:
- A fixed, provisional full-arch bridge is attached to the implants
- Initial adjustments are made for comfort and function
- Bite alignment is verified and refined as needed
- You leave with a complete, functional set of teeth
- Detailed aftercare instructions are provided
5. Healing and Final Restoration
After a healing period of approximately 4-6 months:
- Osseointegration (fusion of implants with bone) is completed
- Impressions are taken for your permanent restoration
- A custom-designed, high-quality prosthesis is fabricated
- The final bridge is placed and precisely adjusted
- Regular follow-up care is scheduled to ensure optimal results
All-on-6 vs. All-on-4 Dental Implants
While both solutions provide excellent full-arch restoration, there are important differences to consider:
| Feature | All-on-6 Implants | All-on-4 Implants |
|---|---|---|
| Number of implants per arch | 6 | 4 |
| Stability level | Enhanced stability | Good stability |
| Suitability for severe bone loss | Better for moderate bone loss | Ideal for significant bone loss |
| Distribution of force | More widely distributed | Concentrated on 4 points |
| Cost | Higher initial investment | More economical upfront |
| Longevity potential | Potentially longer lifespan | Excellent but may have more stress per implant |
| Posterior support | Superior posterior support | Good but less distributed |
Our dental specialists will help determine which option is best suited to your specific needs during your consultation.
Ideal Candidates for All-on-6 Dental Implants
All-on-6 implants are particularly well-suited for patients who:
- Have lost most or all teeth in one or both jaws
- Have sufficient jawbone to support six implants without extensive grafting
- Have stronger bite forces or grinding habits requiring additional support
- Desire maximum stability and longevity from their dental restoration
- Are looking for the most robust solution for full-arch tooth replacement
- Want to avoid bone grafting but have some bone loss in the posterior region
During your consultation at Dental Treatment Turkey, our specialists will evaluate your specific case to determine if All-on-6 implants are the optimal solution for your needs.
All-on-6 vs. Other Dental Solutions
Compared to Removable Dentures
All-on-6 implants offer significant advantages over traditional dentures:
- Permanently fixed in the mouth without removal
- No adhesives, pastes, or special cleaning solutions required
- No slipping, clicking, or movement when speaking or eating
- Preservation of bone structure that dentures cannot provide
- Nearly 100% of natural chewing efficiency
- No palatal coverage affecting taste or comfort
Compared to Single Tooth Implants
For patients missing most or all teeth, All-on-6 offers advantages over individual single tooth implants:
- More cost-effective than replacing each tooth with individual implants
- Faster overall treatment time
- Less invasive with fewer surgical sites
- Easier maintenance than caring for numerous individual implants
- Immediate functionality versus waiting for each implant to integrate
Compared to Immediate Loading Implants
While All-on-6 utilizes immediate loading technology, it differs in that:
- It specifically addresses full-arch restoration rather than single or multiple teeth
- The prosthesis is fixed rather than potentially removable
- The specific angulation and placement technique is optimized for full-arch function
- The protocol is designed for patients with various degrees of bone loss
Recovery After All-on-6 Dental Implants
Immediate Post-Procedure (1-7 Days)
The initial recovery period involves:
- Some swelling and discomfort managed with prescribed medications
- A soft food diet to protect your healing implants and provisional restoration
- Regular but gentle oral hygiene following specific instructions
- Rest and limited physical activity to support healing
- Avoidance of smoking and alcohol which can impair healing
Most patients can return to work and light activities within 3-4 days after the procedure.
Short-Term Recovery (1-4 Weeks)
During the first month, you’ll experience:
- Gradual decrease in any initial discomfort
- Progressive improvement in speaking and eating comfort
- Adaptation to your new teeth
- First follow-up appointments to check healing progress
- Transition to softer regular foods as directed by your dentist
Long-Term Healing (3-6 Months)
Complete integration of the implants takes:
- Approximately 4-6 months for full osseointegration
- Gradual strengthening of the bond between implants and jawbone
- Adaptation to normal diet and speech patterns
- Preparation for final restoration placement
- Regular check-ups to monitor healing progress
