What is All-on-6?

All-on-6 is an enhanced dental implant technique using six strategically placed implants per arch—providing 50% more support than All-on-4 for patients who need maximum stability, durability, and bite force distribution.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: All-on-6 is worth the additional cost if you have strong bite forces, grind your teeth (bruxism), or want maximum long-term durability. The two extra implants significantly reduce stress on each implant.

⚠️ Insider Note: All-on-6 requires slightly more bone than All-on-4. Your 3D CT scan will determine if you're a candidate or if bone grafting is needed first. Many patients who qualify for All-on-4 also qualify for All-on-6.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

All-on-6 uses two additional implants for 50% more support and stability. It's ideal for patients with strong bite forces, bruxism, or those wanting maximum long-term durability.

How long do All-on-6 implants last?

With proper care, All-on-6 implants can last 20+ years or a lifetime. The additional implants reduce stress on each one, potentially extending the lifespan of your restoration.

Is All-on-6 more painful than All-on-4?

Recovery is similar. The two additional implants add minimal extra procedure time and discomfort. Most patients manage well with prescribed pain medication.

Who is a better candidate for All-on-6?

Patients with bruxism (teeth grinding), strong bite forces, or those wanting maximum durability often benefit most from All-on-6's enhanced stability.

Can both arches be done with All-on-6?

Yes, many patients choose All-on-6 for both upper and lower arches for complete mouth restoration with maximum stability and bite force distribution.

What if I don't have enough bone for 6 implants?

Bone grafting can be performed if needed, or All-on-4 may be recommended as an alternative that requires less bone volume.

How many trips to Turkey are required?

Two trips typically: one for implant placement and temporary bridge (5-7 days) and one for final permanent bridge fitting (3-5 days) after 3-6 months of healing.

Why is All-on-6 cheaper in Turkey?

Lower operating costs and high surgical volume—not lower quality. Same premium implant brands with experienced prosthodontists. Turkey is a global leader in dental tourism.
