All-on-6 Dental Implants In Turkey

 

Losing many teeth changes daily life. Eating becomes hard. Speech is not the same. Smiling in photos can feel stressful. A fixed full-arch solution can help. All-on-6 dental implants place six strong titanium posts in the jaw to hold one solid bridge of new teeth. The bridge stays in your mouth. You do not take it out at night. It looks natural and feels stable when you bite. 

All-on-6 is part of a family of “full-arch” treatments. Dentists can also use four, six, or sometimes more implants to support a full set of teeth. Your team chooses the number after scans and planning. The choice depends on your bone, your bite forces, and your medical needs. 

 

All-on-6 Dental Implants in Turkey

What exactly is All-on-6?

All-on-6 means six implants are placed in the upper jaw or the lower jaw. They act like artificial roots. After planning with 3-D scans, the surgeon places the implants at spots that carry chewing forces well. A custom bridge is then attached. Many people leave surgery wearing a temporary set of fixed teeth. Later, after healing, you receive the final bridge that is shaped and polished to match your smile and bite. 

 

All-on-6 versus All-on-4

Both options replace a full arch of teeth with a fixed bridge. All-on-6 uses six implants. This can spread the load and may give extra support, especially in the back areas of the jaw. Research using computer models shows that six implants can reduce stress on the bone and the implants compared with four in some situations. But the “best” choice is personal. Bone quality, anatomy near the sinuses or nerve, clenching or grinding, and other factors all matter. Your dentist will explain which plan is safest for you.  

Who is a good candidate?

You may be a good candidate if you have lost most teeth in one jaw, want a fixed solution, can keep good daily oral hygiene, and have enough bone for implants or are open to bone-building procedures when needed. Chronic conditions such as diabetes should be well controlled. Smoking increases the risk of problems, so stopping before surgery is strongly recommended. Final decisions come after a clinical exam and CT scan.

 

The treatment journey, step by step

 

1) First conversation and digital planning

Your dentist reviews your medical history and medicines. Photos and a panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan are taken. Computer planning helps the team choose the safest positions and angles for each implant. You also discuss tooth shade, shape, and the material of the final bridge. 

2) Surgery day

Six implants are placed under local anaesthesia. Many clinics also offer sedation to help you relax. If the implants are very stable at the end of surgery, a temporary fixed bridge can be attached on the same day. This is called immediate loading and it is only done when primary stability is strong enough, because stability is a key requirement for safe immediate loading.

3) Healing and osseointegration

Your bone bonds to the implants in a biological process called osseointegration. For most people this takes about three to six months, and it can be longer in the upper jaw. During this time, you follow a soft-diet plan and careful hygiene so the implants stay undisturbed. 

4) The final bridge

When healing is complete, your dentist takes accurate records and fits your final bridge. Choices usually include monolithic zirconia (strong, aesthetic) or a hybrid metal-acrylic option (lighter, easier to repair). The bite is balanced and you receive cleaning tools and instructions.

 All-on-6 vs traditional dentures

  • All-on-6 is fixed. It does not slip. Chewing is strong. Bone where implants are placed is better maintained. You brush and clean it in the mouth.
     
  • Traditional dentures are removable. They can move. They may rub and feel loose over time as bone shrinks. They need separate soaking and can wear out faster. (This difference is a core reason many people choose implants.) 
     

Benefits patients often notice

People often report that eating is easier, speech is clearer, and smiling feels natural again. They like that nothing comes out at night. They also like that face shape can look fuller because implants help support the bite and reduce bone loss in the areas where implants are placed.

Understand the risks early

All surgery has risks. Early after surgery you can have swelling, bruising, and soreness. These usually settle in a few days. The main long-term biological risk around implants is gum and bone inflammation called peri-implantitis. Good daily home care, smoke-free habits, and regular professional cleaning reduce this risk. Mechanical issues can also happen over the years, such as a loose screw or a chipped veneer, and these are usually fixable at a maintenance visit.

Before Your All-on-6 Surgery 

  • Share your full medical list, including blood thinners and herbal products.
  • If you smoke, plan a stop date before surgery.
  • Arrange help for the first day and a ride home if you choose sedation.
  • Prepare a soft-food menu and cold packs.
  • If you will travel for care, plan enough days for check visits and early recovery before you fly back. Read neutral guidance about planning medical or dental treatment abroad so you know the steps, insurance limits, and follow-up needs. 
     

Recovery guide after All-on-6

 

First 48–72 hours

Rest and keep your head up when sleeping. Use cold packs on and off for the first day or two. Take medicines as prescribed. Do not use straws and do not smoke because suction and smoke can disturb healing. Choose cool liquids and very soft foods. 

Days 3–7

Rinse gently with lukewarm salt water, unless your dentist says otherwise. Start to brush very gently around the area, then expand as comfort allows. Stay with soft foods and avoid alcohol and exercise that makes your heart race. Keep your follow-up appointment. 

Weeks to months

Healing in the jaw continues for three to six months. Your team will tell you when to add firmer foods. Protect your implants by avoiding very hard items until you are cleared.

 

What can I eat after All-on-6? 

  • Right after surgery: smoothies, yogurt, protein drinks, applesauce.
  • Week 1–2: scrambled eggs, pasta, soft rice, mashed vegetables and soups.
  • Week 3–4: soft fish, cooked vegetables, finely chopped meats.
  • After your dentist says it is safe: return to a normal balanced diet and enjoy more textures again. 
     

Cleaning and Maintenance for long life

Clean twice a day with a soft brush. Use super-floss or small interdental brushes to clean under the bridge. A water-flosser can help if your dentist recommends it. Professional maintenance visits are important. Many implant patients are seen every three to six months at first, and then at a schedule that matches their risk. These visits remove plaque and check the tissues and screws before small issues become big ones. Good maintenance supports long-term success.

 

How long do All-on-6 implants last?

Implants can last for decades when you keep good hygiene, attend maintenance visits, and control risk factors like smoking. The bridge is like the tires on a car; it may need repair or replacement after years of use. Regular checks help you plan these updates calmly and early.

Common questions

 

Is the surgery painful?
You are numb during surgery and many clinics offer sedation. Most people describe mild to moderate soreness for a few days. Medicines and cold packs help. 

Can I get temporary fixed teeth the same day?
Sometimes yes. It depends on how stable the implants are when placed and on your bone quality. Your dentist will decide this safely on the day of surgery.

How long is the total timeline?
Planning and surgery happen first. Osseointegration takes about three to six months. Then the final bridge is fitted.

What materials are used for the final bridge?
Many teams use monolithic zirconia or a hybrid metal-acrylic design. Your choice depends on your bite, esthetic goals, and the advice of your dentist.

What are the biggest long-term risks and how do I avoid them?
Peri-implant inflammation and plaque are the main risks. Daily cleaning, smoke-free habits, and regular professional maintenance reduce these risks.

 


How to choose a reputable clinic in Turkey

Look for a team that does full-arch work often. Ask about the surgeon’s training and the number of similar cases each year. Confirm that CBCT-based planning is used. Ask which implant brands and which bridge materials they use and why. Make sure you will get written aftercare instructions and realistic follow-up access. If you will travel, read neutral guidance on planning treatment abroad so you feel safe and organized.

Every mouth and every journey is unique, but many people say similar things after full-arch treatment. Several months after fitting the final bridge, patients often tell us that eating is simple again, that they smile more in social events, and that friends notice they look happier. These are common lived experiences with fixed implant bridges, and they reflect the strong chewing and stable feel of the restoration. (Your own timeline and comfort will depend on your health and your healing.)
