All on 6 Dental Implants

What Is the All-on-6 Implant Technique?
The All-on-6 dental implant technique is a modern full-arch restoration method that uses six strategically placed dental implants to support a fixed, non-removable set of teeth. It offers enhanced stability, better load distribution, and longer-term functionality compared to traditional removable dentures or even All-on-4 in certain cases.
At Turkey Teeth, we specialize in All-on-6 restorations for patients who need complete upper or lower jaw rehabilitation — especially those who want added implant support or have higher bite forces.
Whether you’ve lost all your teeth or are tired of wearing unstable dentures, All-on-6 provides a lifelike, fixed alternative that looks and feels just like natural teeth.
How It Works
Unlike All-on-4, which uses four implants per jaw, All-on-6 distributes the biting pressure across six implants, creating a wider base of support and reducing long-term stress on each implant.
The procedure includes:
- Placement of six titanium implants into the jawbone (3 per side, strategically angled for stability)
- Attachment of a custom full-arch bridge (temporary at first, then permanent)
- Enhanced bone contact — often eliminates the need for bone grafting
- Support for larger prosthetic arches with superior durability
The implants act as new roots, while the bridge restores chewing ability, speech clarity, and aesthetic harmony.
Who Is a Candidate?
You may be a strong candidate for All-on-6 if:
- You’ve lost most or all teeth in your upper or lower jaw
- You want a stronger alternative to All-on-4
- You have moderate to severe bone loss, but still enough to support 6 implants
- You want a fixed, non-removable solution with high stability
- You prefer more implant support for peace of mind and longevity
- You’re generally healthy and a good candidate for oral surgery
At Turkey Teeth, we use 3D imaging and digital planning to determine your bone levels and ideal implant positions. If you’re suitable for All-on-6, we’ll build a custom plan that meets both your clinical needs and aesthetic expectations.
All-on-6 vs All-on-4: What’s the Difference?
When choosing between All-on-6 and All-on-4 dental implants, the core difference lies in the number of implants placed per jaw, which affects support, longevity, and suitability for different oral conditions.
Both options are excellent full-arch restoration techniques, but they’re not one-size-fits-all. At Turkey Teeth, we help you decide which option fits your unique dental structure, bite force, and aesthetic expectations.
Implant Distribution & Stability
- All-on-4 uses 4 implants per jaw: two placed vertically in the front, and two tilted implants at the back to avoid bone grafting.
- All-on-6 uses 6 implants: with more evenly distributed implant support across the arch — ideal for patients with good bone volume or stronger bite forces.
Here’s what more implants mean:
✅ Increased surface area and bone contact
✅ Better long-term stress distribution
✅ Reduced chance of overload on individual implants
✅ Higher long-term success rate in high-bite-pressure cases
All-on-6 may offer added peace of mind for patients who grind their teeth, want added support, or are seeking the most robust solution available.
When to Choose All-on-6
You might choose All-on-6 over All-on-4 if:
- You want a more stable foundation for a long-lasting result
- You have enough bone to support 6 implants without grafting
- You previously wore dentures and want maximum implant anchorage
- You plan to get zirconium or heavier full-arch bridges, which need stronger support
- You want upper and lower arches restored and prefer the extra strength for chewing
In contrast, All-on-4 may be more suitable if you have limited bone volume or want a quicker, more budget-friendly solution.
At Turkey Teeth, we’ll evaluate your case with CBCT scans and digital planning to recommend the best option — not just for today, but for the next 20+ years of your smile.

All-on-6 Procedure Step by Step
At Turkey Teeth, the All-on-6 implant procedure is designed to be efficient, minimally invasive, and results-focused — especially for international patients visiting Antalya for full-mouth restoration. With the help of digital planning and experienced implant surgeons, most of the treatment is completed in just two visits, several months apart.
Here’s how the full process works:
Clinical Assessment & Imaging
Your All-on-6 journey begins with a comprehensive consultation either in-person or remotely (via photos, panoramic X-ray, or CBCT if already available). Once you arrive in Antalya, we perform:
- A full oral examination
- 3D CBCT scanning to analyze bone quality, height, and volume
- Intraoral digital scanning for precise arch measurements
- Evaluation of your bite, smile line, and facial symmetry
- Medical screening to confirm you’re fit for oral surgery
We use Digital Smile Design (DSD) software to preview the aesthetics and plan exact implant placement angles, prosthetic design, and load distribution — everything is pre-planned before touching a single tooth.
You’ll also have the opportunity to discuss:
- Material preferences (zirconia vs hybrid)
- Tooth shape, size, and color
- Any existing restorations or old dentures to be replaced
Implant Surgery & Temporary Bridge
On the day of surgery:
- You’ll receive local anesthesia or IV sedation (if requested)
- Six titanium implants are placed per arch, with strategic spacing — usually 3 vertical in the front, 3 angled in the back
- Implants are inserted in a flapless or minimal-flap technique to reduce trauma and speed up healing
Within 24–48 hours, we deliver a fixed temporary prosthesis — not removable dentures, but screw-retained acrylic or composite teeth that restore chewing, aesthetics, and confidence immediately.
✅ You walk out of the clinic with a full smile — no gaps, no removable plates.
Healing Period & Final Prosthesis
Your body now enters the osseointegration phase — where the bone bonds with the implant surface, anchoring them securely in place. This typically takes 3 to 6 months depending on individual healing response and bone density.
During this time:
- You’ll follow a soft food diet to protect the implants
- We stay in touch remotely to monitor progress (especially for overseas patients)
- Your temporary teeth remain fixed, aesthetic, and functional
Once healing is confirmed, you return for your second visit to Turkey Teeth:
- Final scans are taken
- You choose your final tooth shade, shape, and bite line
- We fabricate your permanent prosthesis — either zirconium (aesthetic, strong, long-term) or hybrid (lightweight and shock-absorbent)
The final bridge is securely attached to your six implants and adjusted for comfort, function, and smile harmony.
From that moment on, you have a permanent, fixed smile designed to last 15–25+ years with proper care.
Do All on 6 Dental Implants Hurt?
One of the most common concerns patients have before undergoing full-mouth implant treatment is:
“Will it hurt?”
The answer — based on years of experience at Turkey Teeth — is: not nearly as much as you think.
Thanks to modern anesthesia, gentle surgical techniques, and our digital-first planning approach, most patients report minimal discomfort, both during and after the All-on-6 procedure.
During Surgery
The All-on-6 procedure is typically performed under:
- Local anesthesia, which completely numbs the area
- Or optional IV sedation, if you prefer to be more relaxed or semi-asleep
At Turkey Teeth, your comfort is a top priority. Our implant surgeons use:
- Flapless or minimal-flap techniques to reduce tissue trauma
- Computer-guided implant placement to minimize chair time and post-op swelling
As a result, most patients say the surgery is painless, and some don’t even remember the procedure when sedation is used.
Recovery & Aftercare
After the surgery, it’s normal to experience:
- Mild swelling (usually peaks on day 2–3)
- Slight bruising or pressure in the cheeks or jaw
- Minimal bleeding or soreness at the implant sites
However, all of these symptoms are easily managed with prescribed painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication. Most patients say recovery is easier than expected, and they can resume light activity within 2–3 days.
To make recovery smoother, Turkey Teeth provides:
- A personalized medication and oral hygiene kit
- Detailed post-op instructions (with food list, dos & don’ts)
- Follow-up care via WhatsApp or email — even after you return home
Your temporary teeth are securely fixed in place, so you can speak and smile normally almost immediately. You’ll need to follow a soft food diet during healing, but the discomfort is generally mild and short-lived.
Summary:
No, All-on-6 does not hurt — especially when performed with the precision, sedation options, and post-op care offered by Turkey Teeth in Antalya.

Longevity of All-on-6 Implants
One of the most reassuring facts about All-on-6 dental implants is their long-term success rate. With proper planning, skilled placement, and good aftercare, your implants can last 15 to 25 years or more — and in many cases, they last a lifetime.
At Turkey Teeth, we use top-tier implant systems, precise digital planning, and prosthetic materials like zirconia to ensure your smile not only looks amazing but also endures everyday function for decades.
The two components to consider:
- Implants (titanium posts): These are embedded into the jawbone and, once fused (osseointegration), they can remain stable for life.
- Prosthetic bridge (your new teeth): Depending on the material, these may last 10–15 years, after which they can be replaced or updated without needing new implants.
Maintenance & Durability
The longevity of your All-on-6 results depends greatly on how well you care for them.
✅ Daily Hygiene
- Brush at least twice a day using a soft-bristle brush
- Use a water flosser or interdental brushes to clean around implants
- Rinse with an alcohol-free antibacterial mouthwash
- Clean underneath the bridge regularly (we’ll show you how)
✅ Professional Check-Ups
- Schedule check-ups every 6 months with your dentist (locally or with us)
- Annual deep cleaning around the implants is advised
- Keep an eye on your bite alignment and report any discomfort early
✅ Lifestyle Habits
- Avoid smoking, as it reduces blood flow to the gums and weakens osseointegration
- Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth during sleep
- Avoid biting extremely hard foods or objects that may damage the bridge
At Turkey Teeth, we don’t just finish your case and send you off. We provide full aftercare instructions, offer remote support, and welcome you back for future maintenance or bridge upgrades whenever needed.
What Makes Our Results Different?
- We use Digital Smile Design (DSD) to plan every detail — tooth shape, color, and positioning
- Our restorations are custom-made for each face, not copy-paste smiles
- The transformation is immediate — thanks to same-day temporary teeth
- The final prosthesis (zirconia or hybrid) is handcrafted to last and look stunning
Each case is unique, but the results consistently exceed expectations. Whether upper, lower, or full-mouth restorations, our approach combines science, artistry, and technology — and it shows in every photo.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I eat with temporary teeth?
Yes but only soft foods for the first few weeks. After your temporary fixed bridge is attached (usually within 24–48 hours), you can eat safely, but should avoid anything too hard or sticky. Most patients enjoy normal speech and chewing comfort almost immediately.
Is bone grafting needed?
In most cases, no. The All-on-6 technique is designed to make the most of your existing bone by angling the implants strategically. At Turkey Teeth, over 80% of our patients do not require bone grafting for All-on-6. If minimal grafting is necessary, we’ll inform you in advance.
How many days should I stay in Antalya?
For the first phase (implants + temporary bridge), we recommend staying 7 to 9 days. The final phase (permanent prosthesis) requires a second visit 3 to 6 months later, lasting about 5 days. We help coordinate your timeline based on travel plans.
Are zirconia or hybrid bridges better?
Both are excellent, but serve different needs:
Zirconia bridges: Stronger, more aesthetic, stain-resistant, long-lasting (ideal for patients seeking the most natural and durable result).
Hybrid bridges: Lighter, more affordable, shock-absorbing (great for patients with heavy bites or budget-conscious needs).
We’ll help you choose the best option based on your oral health, bite, and aesthetic preferences.
What if one implant fails?
Implant failure is rare (less than 5% with All-on-6). But if it happens, we monitor closely and can usually replace the implant or redesign the prosthesis without restarting the entire process. Turkey Teeth supports you during healing and beyond, with full aftercare follow-up.
Is All-on-6 better than All-on-4?
Not always — it depends on your bone volume, bite pressure, and goals. All-on-6 offers:
Better force distribution
Stronger long-term stability
More support for zirconia bridges
If you have enough bone, All-on-6 is often the preferred option, especially for younger or more active patients.
Can I get upper and lower arches at the same time?
Yes. Many patients choose full-mouth rehabilitation in a single trip. With proper planning and sedation, both jaws can be treated in one session. We’ll evaluate your case and recommend the safest, most efficient approach.
How soon can I return to work after surgery?
Most patients return to light work within 3 to 5 days after surgery. If you work remotely or in a low-physical role, you may feel comfortable returning even sooner. Swelling and soreness typically subside within the first few days.
Can smokers get All-on-6 implants?
Yes but with extra care. Smoking can increase the risk of implant failure due to reduced blood flow. We recommend quitting before and after surgery if possible. If not, we’ll advise on how to minimize risks and protect your implants through hygiene and follow-up.
Is general anesthesia necessary?
Not for most cases. We use local anesthesia with optional IV sedation to keep you relaxed and pain-free. General anesthesia is available upon request or for medically complex procedures, but not typically required for All-on-6.

I had a crown treatment at Smiles Turkey and I’m very happy with the result. I wanted my smile to look natural, and the team truly listened to my preferences and delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The crown looks great and feels very comfortable. A big thank you to Narmila, who was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. She was always available, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt confident and at ease at every step. Smiles Turkey also provided transfers to and from the clinic every time, which was so convenient and made the experience even smoother. Overall, I’m really pleased with the care I received and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, attentive dental treatment abroad. Оксана Шуба2025-05-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was pleased with my visit to the dental clinic "Smiles Turkey", where I had zirconium crowns made for my upper jaw. From the very beginning, we were greeted very warmly and surrounded with attention. I would like to separately mention Narmila - she was always there to resolve all issues. Thanks to the entire team for their care, warm welcome and quality service! Setgud2025-05-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coming to sile turkey was an amazing experience. They listen to my concern and made sure everything went to plan . The colour size is everything I wanted . And my paitent cordonatner Pinar was amazing. If you want your teeth done I recommend smile turkey. It was every I expected and more. They went above and beyond for me. Shane Kearley2025-05-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Straight away, I just want to say a massive thank you to Smiles Turkey for everything they’ve done — I genuinely couldn’t be happier with the outcome. From my very first conversation with Yaman, I knew I was in safe hands. He helped guide me through everything — from what procedures I might need, to how we’d get to Turkey, to transportation, the full itinerary… every question I had, he answered. He was available morning, noon, and night, even with the time difference. Honestly, I messaged him a lot, and he was always there, never making me feel like a burden. That level of service meant the world. Before choosing Smiles Turkey, I spent about a month researching over 30 clinics. Getting your teeth done is a massive, life-changing decision — it’s what people notice first about you. I needed to feel 100% confident. Their social media, the way they presented themselves, the verified testimonials — everything just felt right. Once I made the decision, I didn’t look back. When we arrived in Antalya, everything was perfectly arranged. Our transport was waiting as promised, and we headed straight to the clinic. That’s where we met Firat, Pinar, Acya, , Derya, and Eren — all so kind, welcoming, and genuinely caring. They walked us through each stage of the process with so much knowledge and attention to detail that it completely put us at ease. On day one, they took scans and helped us choose the shape and style of our new smiles. On day two, we went back for the preparation work — shaving down our teeth. It was completely painless, and they were so gentle. A quick tip: wear an earphone if you’re sound-sensitive — it helped me a lot! We then received our temporary teeth within a few hours, and again, everything ran like clockwork. They ensured we were happy and comfortable with them before moving forward. Eating was a bit limited for the first day, but it was nothing major. The next appointment was to finalise the style and shade. I went for a natural look with shade OM3, two shades down from the whitest. I wanted people to wonder if my teeth were real — and that’s exactly what I got. In hindsight, I maybe could’ve gone a shade lighter, but I’m still thrilled with the result. After a final fitting and check, we returned a couple of days later to have the final teeth fitted — and wow. I was blown away. The whole process was seamless and professional from start to finish. To be honest, I tried to think of some constructive criticism, but I honestly can’t fault a single part of the experience. I came in hoping to leave with a million-dollar smile — and that’s exactly what I got. The transformation is unbelievable, not just in how I look but how I feel and how people respond to me. A special shoutout to Ümit, their amazing videographer. After our treatment, my wife and I were taken to the waterfalls and the coast to have professional photos and videos done. The results were stunning — it felt like a dream, and we’ll treasure those memories forever. I was originally going there because my wife wanted her teeth done — and honestly, I was fairly happy with mine as they were. But I can say now, after getting the new 20s in zirconium crowns (which we both had), I couldn’t be happier. It’s changed everything. Every smile now feels like a million dollars. The highest recommendation I can give is this: if you’re sitting on the fence, unsure whether to go for it — every day you wait, you’re denying yourself the chance to be truly happy, and you’re denying the world the joy of seeing the amazing smile you’re meant to have. Even after we returned home, the follow-up support has been fantastic. I can still message or call someone, and they’re always there to help with any questions. So from the bottom of my heart — thank you. It’s been an amazing experience from start to finish. Татьяна Гуляева2025-05-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Just returned to UK after my first visit. Wow, what can I say. Puts UK dentists to shame. The organisation, the products, the service are all so far ahead of the UK it unbelievable. From research to this point has all been fantastic. I'm petrified of dentists but they were all so understanding. From the moment I landed to the moment I took off, everything was organised for me, not their pockets, for me. мари сен2025-05-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
