All on 6

Procedure Details

What Is All-on-6?

All-on-6 is a full-mouth dental restoration technique where six implants are strategically placed in the jawbone in order to support a fixed prosthetic arch. All-on-6 is commonly recommended for patients who have all of their teeth or require full extraction due to severe dental issues.

All-on-6 differs from other full-arch treatments by offering greater support and load distribution, which can improve long-term success and durability.

How Is All-on-6 Performed?

The All-on-6 dental implants in Turkey are performed through a carefully planned and personalized approach. 

The stages of All-on-6 treatment typically look like:

1. Initial Consultation and Planning: The dentist evaluates your mouth and takes 3D scans. A personalized treatment plan is created.

2. Tooth Extraction (If Required): Damaged or unsuitable teeth are removed. This is done under local anesthesia.

3. Implant Placement: Six implants are placed into the jawbone. Three go in the front and three in the back at angles.

4. Temporary Prosthesis: A temporary set of teeth is attached the same day. You leave the clinic with a functional smile.

5. Final Prosthesis: After about 3 months, healing is complete. A permanent prosthesis is placed.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for All-on-6?

All-on-6 dental implants in Turkey are suitable for a wide range of patients, but the best outcomes are achieved when certain clinical and lifestyle criteria are met. A detailed evaluation by a dental professional is always required to confirm eligibility.

Ideal candidates for All-on-6 are:

• High stability and durability 

• Immediate aesthetic improvement

Potential Risks of All-on-6

As with any surgical procedure, All-on-6 carries some risks, although they are generally rare:

• Mild swelling or discomfort after surgery

• Risk of infection if oral hygiene is not maintained

• Implant failure (rare, especially with proper planning)

• Temporary difficulty in eating or speaking

These risks are minimized when the procedure is performed by experienced professionals and post-operative care instructions are followed.

Recovery and Outlook

Recovery after All-on-6 treatment is typically smooth and relatively quick. Mild discomfort may occur after the anesthesia wears off, but it is usually manageable with prescribed medication.

• First 24–48 hours: Mild swelling and discomfort may occur; medication helps manage symptoms.

• First week: Soft or liquid diet is recommended; healing begins.

• 3–5 days: Most patients return to daily routines.

• 2–4 weeks: Gums continue to heal; implants begin stabilizing.

• Around 3 months: Full osseointegration is completed.

• After 3 months: Permanent prosthesis is placed for long-term use.

With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, All-on-6 implants can last for many years.

When to Call the Doctor

Patients should contact their dentist if they experience:

• Persistent or severe pain

• Excessive swelling or bleeding

• Signs of infection (fever, discharge, unusual odor)

• Loosening of the prosthesis

Early evaluation helps prevent complications and ensures successful healing.
