All-on-6 replaces a full arch with a fixed prosthesis on six implants when anatomy and prosthetic plan support it. It is not better than All-on-4 in every case. Dr. Türker Clinic lists All-on-6 at €6,700; whether that covers one or both arches is confirmed in writing after a CBCT scan and clinical exam.
All-on-6 replaces a full arch of teeth with a fixed prosthesis carried by six implants. The setup can suit cases where the anatomy, the way chewing forces are spread and the prosthetic plan justify it; it is not better than All-on-4 in every case. In Istanbul, Dr. Türker Clinic lists All-on-6 at €6,700. The exact scope, timeline and number of implants are confirmed in writing after a CBCT scan and a clinical examination.
If you are weighing a full-arch offer from a dentist at home against one from a clinic in Istanbul, this guide explains what six implants can and cannot change, who may be a candidate, how the treatment unfolds over two stays, and how to read a listed price and a written quote.
What is All-on-6?
In an All-on-6 treatment, six implants are spread along an arch to support a complete fixed prosthesis. The treatment can involve the upper arch, the lower arch or both. The implants act as anchors: they do not each correspond to a separate tooth.
The name, also written “all on six”, is a common label. On its own it does not describe the brand of the implants, the material of the prosthesis, the loading schedule or the quality of the treatment.
The aim is functional and prosthetic: to restore chewing, speech and a smile that fits your face, while keeping the restoration cleanable. The number of implants is only one parameter. Their position, their stability, the design of the framework and control of the bite (occlusion) are what count.
Benefits of All-on-6 and how it differs from All-on-4
The benefits of six implants are conditional. In some cases, where the bone allows a favorable layout, six implants can give more possibilities for spreading chewing forces along the arch than four. The trade-off is that six implants can also require more favorable bone sites, and they mean six surgical sites per arch and more components.
| Point of comparison | All-on-4 | All-on-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Implants per arch | 4 | 6 |
| Possible spread of support | Across four anchors | Across six anchors, if the anatomy allows |
| Bone needed and surgical access | Depends on the planned positions | May require two additional favorable implant sites |
| Cleaning | Access under a complete prosthesis | Access under a complete prosthesis |
| When to consider it | Depending on the diagnosis | Depending on the diagnosis, never by default |
Adding implants does not correct a poor position, an untreated infection, an unsuitable prosthetic plan or hygiene that cannot be maintained. Conversely, choosing four implants only to bring a price down is not medical reasoning.
The number of implants does not predict, by itself, how long a restoration will last either: diagnosis, position, prosthesis design, hygiene, smoking, bruxism (teeth grinding) and follow-up count as much. Our guide to All-on-4 vs All-on-6 sets out the decision table in detail.
Questions that decide between four and six
- Is there enough bone volume for the positions being considered?
- Do any of your remaining teeth still have a favorable prognosis?
- What arch length and what prosthetic overhang (cantilever) are planned?
- Do you clench or grind your teeth?
- Can you clean the restoration properly?
- What fallback options would remain if a problem occurred?
Who may be a candidate for All-on-6?
This approach can be discussed for someone with no teeth, or with teeth that have a very poor prognosis, when six sites can receive implants in a coherent layout. The assessment covers the state of the gums (periodontal status), infections, the quantity and distribution of bone, the relationship between the jaws and your expectations.
A bone graft is not automatic, but it cannot be ruled out from a distance: only a three-dimensional analysis of the bone and the prosthetic plan shows whether bone surgery is needed or whether another solution is preferable.
General illnesses, medications that affect healing, smoking, poorly controlled diabetes, teeth grinding or insufficient hygiene can change the risk and the timeline. Do not leave them off the medical form. Our guide to smoking, diabetes, bruxism and dental implants explains what is at stake.
The All-on-6 process in Istanbul, step by step
Dr. Türker Clinic describes its full-arch treatments as two stays; the written plan sets out the variations that may apply to your case. The length of each stay depends on the number of arches, any associated procedures and the laboratory protocol, and is confirmed in a personalized schedule that leaves room for check-ups and adjustments.
1. Preparation from home
The first exchange gathers your reason for consulting, your medical history, your medications, your X-rays and photographs. An initial estimate should state its assumptions: the number of teeth to extract, the quality of the imaging, the possible need for additional procedures and the type of temporary teeth.
2. Consultation and planning
In Istanbul, the clinical examination checks what remote documents cannot show: tooth mobility, infections, soft tissues, mouth opening, bite and prosthetic space. Planning relies on a CBCT (3D imaging) scan and on this examination. You should be able to compare the options before you consent.
3. Surgery and temporary prosthesis
Surgery can combine extractions and implant placement. A quick fixed temporary restoration is possible only if the conditions set by the team are met; otherwise another transitional solution may be safer. The phrase “teeth in 24 hours” must never hide the temporary or conditional nature of the restoration: our guide to immediate loading explains those conditions.
4. Healing and osseointegration
A healing period, during which the implants bond with the bone (osseointegration), often separates surgery from the making of the final prosthesis. During this phase, eating instructions, hygiene and check-ups are essential. No duration fits everyone: our guide to osseointegration and the two stays explains why.
5. Second stay: from temporary to final teeth
The second stay is a reassessment, not a simple delivery. The clinician checks healing and stability, records the exact position of the implants, then tries in and adjusts the prosthesis. The options are to finalize, to adapt the plan or to extend the wait.
The temporary teeth are used to test speech, volume and comfort. Adjustments are often expected, and no implant prosthesis reproduces natural teeth exactly. Our guide to temporary or final teeth after implants covers these differences.
6. Long-term maintenance
An annual check-up is not necessarily enough for everyone. The frequency depends on gum risk, hygiene, smoking, bruxism and the condition of the prosthesis. Follow-up should examine the tissues, the bite, the screws and components, and wear of the restoration.
What the listed All-on-6 price covers
In Istanbul, Dr. Türker Clinic lists All-on-6 at €6,700. According to the clinic, each listed price includes hotel for both stays, private transfers, the coordinator, 3D planning and follow-up. The list does not mention flights: check that point in your quote.
| Treatment | Listed price | What the clinic states |
|---|---|---|
| All-on-6 | €6,700 | Hotel for both stays, private transfers, coordinator, 3D planning and follow-up |
This amount is a listed price, not a quote. The final price is set in writing after a CBCT scan and a clinical examination; an estimate based on a description or a photo remains preliminary. This guide does not detail the exact scope of the listed amount (number of arches and implants, temporary then final prosthesis, material): ask for it in the written quote, and do not divide the amount yourself.
Prices charged for comparable work in the UK or the US are often substantially higher. That gap says nothing about what is included, though: compare written quotes line by line, for the same treatment plan. Our guide to what a full-mouth implant package includes sets out the scenarios and cost items for a full arch.
What a price may include or exclude
The price of an All-on-6 is not just “six implants”. Depending on the offer, a quote may include or leave out planning, extractions, anesthesia, abutments, the temporary prosthesis, the final prosthesis, tests, medications, adjustments and travel.
| Item | What to have in writing |
|---|---|
| Implants | Number, manufacturer, range, reference, lot number and components |
| Associated procedures | Extractions, infection treatment, bone graft or other surgery |
| Temporary teeth | Fixed or removable, material, expected duration and repairs |
| Final teeth | Material of the framework and of the teeth, try-ins, maintenance |
| Logistics | Number of nights, transfers, flights and companion costs |
| Aftercare | Check-ups, emergencies, adjustments and terms for rework |
Compare these lines between two proposals before choosing: two amounts are only comparable if the scope is the same.
Limits, risks, alternatives and when to postpone
Risks
Surgical risks include pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, injury to an anatomical structure and failure of an implant to integrate. Prosthetic complications can include a loosened or fractured component, wear, speech or appearance problems and difficulty cleaning. Inflammation around the implants (peri-implant inflammation) and bone loss can appear without suitable maintenance. The surgeon should explain the risks specific to your case after examining you.
Limits of a six-implant plan
Six implants also mean six surgical sites per arch and more components. They do not remove the biological risk. A complication may call for local treatment, a change to the prosthesis, a period without load or a new operation.
Alternatives
Keeping and restoring viable teeth can be preferable to extracting them. Depending on the case, other options include All-on-4, a stabilized removable denture, a segmented restoration, bone augmentation or a solution designed for severe bone loss (atrophy). The right plan is the one that answers the diagnosis and remains maintainable, not the one with the catchiest name.
When to postpone treatment
Taking more time is reasonable when
- an infection or gum disease must first be treated or stabilized;
- a general illness must be brought under control with the doctor who follows it;
- the quote remains unclear about what is included and excluded;
- you are pressed for an immediate deposit or shown a countdown;
- you have not yet read the consent form or obtained a second opinion.
Care after you return home
You should leave with an operative report, your images, your prescriptions, the design of the prosthesis and the exact references of the components: that is the role of the implant passport. Before choosing an offer, ask whether these documents can be used by a dentist in your home country.
The emergency protocol should distinguish what can be treated locally from what requires a return to Istanbul. It should also state responsibilities, timing, costs and exclusions. A video call can help with triage, but it does not replace an examination in person. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling that spreads quickly or bleeding you cannot control: call your local emergency services immediately. For increasing pain, fever, pus, numbness or a prosthesis that moves, get examined promptly near home and let the team that treated you know at the same time, sending the images they ask for. Our guide to what to do about a dental problem after treatment in Turkey covers the warning signs and the steps.

Frequently asked questions
Who may be a candidate for All-on-6?
It can be discussed for someone with no teeth, or with teeth that have a very poor prognosis, when six sites can receive implants in a coherent layout. The assessment covers gum health, infections, the amount and distribution of bone, the relationship between the jaws and your expectations.
How much does an All-on-6 package in Turkey cost, and what does it include?
Dr. Türker Clinic lists All-on-6 at €6,700, with hotel for both stays, private transfers, a coordinator, 3D planning and follow-up. This is a listed price, not a quote: the exact scope, including arches, number of implants and temporary and final prostheses, is confirmed in writing after a CBCT scan and clinical exam.
What are the risks and limits of an All-on-6 plan?
Six implants mean six surgical sites per arch and more components, and they do not remove the biological risk. Surgical risks include pain, swelling, bleeding, infection and failure of an implant to integrate; prosthetic complications include loosening, fracture, wear and difficulty cleaning. The surgeon should explain the risks specific to your case after examining you.
Does the name All-on-6 tell me which implants and teeth I will get?
No. All-on-6 is a common label, not a brand. On its own it does not describe the brand of the implants, the material of the prosthesis, the loading schedule or the quality of the treatment. Ask for the implant references and for the temporary and final prostheses and their materials in the written quote.
Can I have All-on-6 without a bone graft?
Sometimes, but not routinely. Only a three-dimensional analysis of the bone and the prosthetic plan, together with a clinical exam, shows whether bone surgery is needed or whether another solution is preferable. An estimate made from a distance is not enough to rule a graft out.
What happens at the second stay of an All-on-6, when the temporary teeth are replaced?
At the second stay, the clinician reassesses healing and stability, records the exact implant positions, then tries in and adjusts the prosthesis. The options are to finalize, adapt the plan or extend the wait. The temporary teeth are used to test speech, volume and comfort. No date fits everyone, so the timing for your case is set in a personalized schedule.
How many days do I need to stay in Istanbul for All-on-6?
It depends on the number of arches, any associated procedures and the laboratory protocol. Dr. Türker Clinic describes its full-arch treatments as two stays; the length of each is confirmed in a personalized schedule that leaves room for check-ups and adjustments.
What should I have in hand before a home dentist follows up my All-on-6?
Ask for the operative report, your images, your prescriptions, the prosthesis design and the exact component references, and check that a dentist in your home country can use them. Difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling that spreads quickly or bleeding you cannot control: call your local emergency services. For any other problem, get examined near home and let the team that treated you know.
This guide informs; it does not replace a consultation or an individual diagnosis. Every case needs a clinical examination and 3D imaging.
