What Is the All-on-6 Treatment?
All-on-6 is a full-arch rehabilitation in which a complete fixed bridge is supported by six implants per jaw. Compared with All-on-4, the two additional implants distribute chewing forces over more anchors, add mechanical redundancy and allow the bridge to extend further back for a larger chewing surface. Full-arch rehabilitations on four to six implants show implant survival of roughly 94–98% at 5–10 years in clinical studies.
The result is the same as All-on-4 from the patient’s perspective — fixed, non-removable teeth — but the biomechanics are more conservative when bone volume allows the additional implants.
All-on-6 or All-on-4 — Which Is Right for You?
The honest answer: it depends on your bone, not on marketing. All-on-6 requires more bone volume, especially in the back jaw, and is our preferred recommendation when that bone exists — six anchors mean that even if one implant were ever lost, the bridge can usually be preserved. All-on-4 is the engineering answer for jaws where posterior bone is limited. At Stom Dental Centre the decision is made from your CBCT scan and discussed openly with you, never sold as a one-size-fits-all package.
How the Treatment Works at Stom Dental Centre
The process mirrors our All-on-4 protocol over two visits. Visit one (2–4 days): digital planning on CBCT data, any necessary extractions, placement of six implants under local anaesthesia or sedation, and a fixed temporary bridge usually within 24–72 hours. After 3–6 months of osseointegration, visit two (5–7 days): the definitive bridge — typically monolithic or multilayer zirconia, on request on a milled titanium bar — is manufactured in the digital workflow and fitted by the prosthodontic team led by DDS PhD Telman Iskender.
What Does All-on-6 Cost in 2026?
In Türkiye, All-on-6 typically costs €2,400–6,500 per jaw in 2026, depending on implant brand and final bridge material. UK quotes for equivalent work commonly run £10,000–£16,000 per jaw, German quotes €14,000–€24,000. At Stom Dental Centre the written quote is itemised and fixed, covers implants, temporary and definitive bridge and all clinical fees, and includes a 10-year guarantee on the prosthetic work.
Honest Limitations You Should Know
All-on-6 needs more bone than All-on-4 — if your CBCT shows insufficient posterior volume, forcing six implants would mean grafting and months of extra healing, and tilted-four or zygomatic concepts may serve you better. As with any implant treatment, smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and neglected hygiene are the main enemies of long-term success. Fixed teeth still need professional maintenance: plan a yearly check-up, at home or with us.

Key Takeaways
- Bone requirement: Higher than All-on-4 — confirmed via CBCT before any commitment
- Treatment visits: 2 visits to Antalya: 2–4 days + 5–7 days
- Final bridge: Monolithic/multilayer zirconia; titanium-bar option available
- Cost in Türkiye 2026: ≈€2,400–6,500 per jaw (brand- and material-dependent)
What is All-on-6 dental implant treatment?
All-on-6 is a full-arch implant concept in which a fixed bridge for an entire jaw is anchored on six implants instead of four. The additional implants spread chewing load over more anchors, add safety redundancy and allow a longer bridge with a larger chewing surface. Studies of full-arch rehabilitation report roughly 94–98% implant survival at 5–10 years. At Stom Dental Centre in Antalya, All-on-6 is completed in two visits — surgery with a fixed temporary bridge, then the definitive zirconia bridge after healing — with prosthetics led by DDS PhD Telman Iskender.

Treatment Process: Step by Step
- 3D Diagnostics — CBCT imaging maps bone volume and vital structures; six implant positions are planned digitally for optimal load distribution.
- Extractions if Needed — Failing teeth are removed in the same session — no patient goes home without teeth.
- Placement of Six Implants — Implants are placed under local anaesthesia (sedation available), spread strategically from front to back of the jaw.
- Fixed Temporary Bridge — A screw-retained temporary bridge is attached within 24–72 hours, restoring fixed function immediately.
- Osseointegration — 3–6 months of biological fusion between implants and bone while you wear the fixed temporary bridge.
- Definitive Bridge — On the second visit (5–7 days) the final zirconia bridge is milled, tried in and fitted with full bite and aesthetic control.
- Aftercare — Implant passport, written guarantee conditions, maintenance schedule and continued WhatsApp access to the team.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ideal Candidates
- Patients with complete or near-complete tooth loss and good overall bone volume
- Patients who want maximum load distribution and redundancy in a fixed full-arch solution
- Bruxists and heavy chewers who benefit from more anchors
- Long-term denture wearers with preserved jaw bone
- Patients wanting a longer bridge with more posterior chewing surface
May Need Alternative Options
- Patients with insufficient posterior bone (All-on-4 or zygomatic concepts fit better)
- Heavy smokers unwilling to pause smoking around surgery
- Patients with uncontrolled diabetes or active periodontal infection
- Patients who cannot return for the definitive-bridge visit
Benefits and Considerations
Benefits
- Chewing load spread across six anchors — more conservative biomechanics
- Redundancy: the bridge can usually be preserved even if a single implant fails
- Longer bridge span possible with better posterior chewing function
- Fixed teeth within 24–72 hours of surgery
- Costs in Antalya typically 60–70% below UK/German quotes
- 10-year written guarantee on the prosthetic work at Stom Dental Centre
Considerations
- Requires more bone volume than All-on-4 — CBCT decides, not preference
- Slightly longer surgery and marginally higher cost than All-on-4
- 3–6 months healing before the definitive bridge
- Yearly professional maintenance strongly recommended
- Two trips to Antalya are part of the honest treatment plan

Why do this in Antalya rather than at home?
When the bone allows six implants, I prefer six. Engineering margins matter over a 20-year horizon: more anchors mean lower stress per implant and a bridge that survives surprises. But the scan decides — recommending All-on-6 into insufficient bone would be salesmanship, not dentistry.Dr. Telman IskenderDDS, Oral Surgery Specialist, 20+ Years Experience — Stom Dental Centre, Antalya
