All-on-6

Extensive tooth loss, unstable dentures, and severely damaged teeth can affect many parts of daily life. You may avoid certain foods, feel uncomfortable while speaking, or hide your smile in photographs and social situations. For suitable patients, All-on-6 dental implants offer a fixed full-arch restoration supported by six implants, helping restore comfort, function, and confidence.

At DAS Smile Clinic in Antalya, every All-on-6 treatment is planned according to the patient’s oral health, jawbone structure, bite, and expectations. Our team takes a patient-focused approach based on detailed assessment, clear explanations, transparent pricing, and coordinated support throughout your dental journey.

What Is All-on-6?

All-on-6 is a full-mouth implant solution used to replace all or most teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Six dental implants are strategically placed in the jawbone to support a fixed arch of replacement teeth. Rather than using an individual implant for each tooth, the implants work together as a stable foundation for the full-arch restoration.

Using six implants may help distribute chewing forces across the arch. However, this treatment is not automatically better than All-on-4 or All-on-5. The appropriate number of implants depends on your bone volume and quality, jaw anatomy, bite forces, and the type of restoration required. Your dentist will recommend a solution based on clinical findings rather than choosing according to a treatment name alone.

Who May Be Suitable for All-on-6?

All-on-6 may be considered for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth, have difficulty wearing removable dentures, or have remaining teeth that cannot be restored predictably. It may also suit patients looking for a fixed alternative to traditional dentures.

Before recommending treatment, your dentist will assess:

  • The condition of your remaining teeth and gums

  • Available jawbone volume and quality

  • Your bite and chewing forces

  • Existing infections or periodontal disease

  • Your medical history and current health

  • Previous implants, crowns, or bridges

  • Teeth grinding, smoking, and oral hygiene habits

  • Your functional and aesthetic expectations

Detailed imaging may be needed to examine the jawbone and surrounding anatomical structures. Some patients may require extractions, bone grafting, a sinus lift, or gum treatment before or during implant placement. If supporting procedures are necessary, they will be explained as part of your personalised plan.

Can Temporary Teeth Be Fitted Immediately?

In suitable cases, a temporary fixed restoration may be fitted on or shortly after the day of implant surgery. This approach depends on the initial stability of the implants, the condition of the bone, and the amount of pressure the temporary teeth are likely to receive.

Immediate temporary teeth cannot be guaranteed before a complete clinical assessment. If your dentist recommends a staged approach, it is because allowing more healing time may offer a safer and more predictable foundation. The temporary restoration also differs from your final teeth and must be treated carefully during recovery.

Once healing has progressed sufficiently, the final full-arch restoration can be prepared. Its fit, tooth shape, shade, speech, comfort, and bite balance are considered before completion.

Your All-on-6 Journey at DAS Smile Clinic

If you are travelling from another country, you can begin by sending photographs, relevant X-rays or scans, and information about your dental concerns to DAS Smile Clinic. The team can then provide initial guidance about possible treatment options and scheduling. A final diagnosis and treatment plan are confirmed after your in-person examination in Antalya.

Your dentist will clearly explain the recommended number of implants, treatment stages, expected healing period, and number of visits. You will also receive transparent pricing with no hidden costs, helping you understand what is included before proceeding.

Local anaesthesia is used during implant placement, and digitally controlled anaesthesia may be suitable to support a gentler experience. Following surgery, you will receive personalised instructions concerning prescribed medication, cleaning, diet, and recovery.

Recovery and Long-Term Care

Temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising can occur after implant placement. Your recovery experience will depend on the complexity of treatment and your individual healing response. Following aftercare instructions and attending recommended reviews are essential.

A soft-food diet is generally necessary during the early healing phase. Although temporary teeth may feel stable, they should not be exposed to excessive chewing pressure. Your dentist will advise you when to introduce firmer foods.

All-on-6 restorations require daily care. You will need to brush the visible surfaces and clean underneath the bridge using suitable tools recommended by your dental team. Regular examinations help monitor the implants, gums, bite, and restoration. If you grind or clench your teeth, a protective night guard may be advised.
