All-on-6 Implant Treatment: Natural Smiles and a Flawless Experience at The Pearl Clinic Antalya

Restoring lost function and aesthetics to the highest level, the All-on-6 implant treatment is one of the most reliable and comfortable solutions at The Pearl Clinic Antalya for patients experiencing complete tooth loss. We serve our patients who aim not only for aesthetics but also for a long-lasting and natural smile with modern technology and an expert physician team.

What Are All-on-6 Dental Implants?

All-on-6 is a full-arch rehabilitation method based on screwing a fixed prosthesis (bridge) onto six dental implants placed in a single jaw.

-Basic Principle: The implants are strategically placed in the regions of the jawbone with the most suitable angle and density.

• -Natural Aesthetics-Oriented Approach: The goal of the treatment is not to create an excessively white and artificial "Hollywood" smile, but rather a natural and aesthetic smile design that harmonizes with the patient's facial features, gum line, and natural dental structure.
• -Fixed and Reliable Solutions: Unlike removable dentures, it offers complete comfort while eating and speaking with a structure integrated into the bone.

• 

What Are the Differences Between All-on-6 and All-on-4?

All-on-6 and All-on-4 systems are two different and successful treatment methods used in cases of full edentulism. The main differences between the two systems are as follows:

• -Number of Implants: While the All-on-4 treatment places 4 implants into a single jaw, the All-on-6 treatment places 6 implants.
• -Load Distribution and Durability: 6 implants allow chewing forces to be distributed across the jawbone in a more balanced manner. This creates an extra advantage, particularly in long-term durability and resistance against high chewing pressures.
• -Bone Volume Requirement: All-on-4 offers a specialized angled placement developed for patients with less bone volume. However, if your jawbone condition is suitable, using 6 implants can provide a more robust foundation for your prosthesis.
• -Prosthesis Size: Both systems carry a fixed prosthesis (bridge), but the extra support provided by 6 implants ensures greater stability in the prosthesis design.
•  

Who Can Be a Candidate for All-on-6 Dental Implants?

This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing complete tooth loss or who are dissatisfied with conventional removable dentures. The ideal candidate profile for All-on-6 treatment includes:

• -Those Experiencing Tooth Loss: Those who have lost some or all of their teeth and are seeking reliable and permanent tooth solutions.
• -Those Wanting a Prototype Change: Patients who have previously used conventional removable dentures and want to switch to an implant-supported fixed prosthesis.
• -Those Seeking Functional Improvement: Those who want to improve their chewing performance and speech clarity.
• -Those with Adequate Bone Density: Those with sufficient bone volume in the jaw to ensure that the implants successfully fuse with the bone (osseointegration).
• -Health Condition and Age: Individuals aged 18 and over, whose general health status is suitable for the operation and who can regulate habits that affect the healing process, such as smoking and alcohol.
•  

Pre-Treatment Preparation Process

To achieve the best results and ensure a comfortable experience prior to the All-on-6 operation, the following steps should be considered:

• -Initial Consultation: Consult with your physician to learn about the procedure, potential steps, and post-operative care in detail.
• -Oral Health Examination: Diagnostic imaging (3D tomography) is performed to analyze the condition and density of your jawbone.
• -Reporting Medications: Inform your physician of all medications you are using, such as blood thinners (anticoagulants), so that they can be paused if necessary.
• -Smoking and Alcohol Consumption: It is recommended to stop smoking and consuming alcohol prior to the operation to accelerate the healing process.
• -Sharing Health Conditions: You must inform your physician of existing conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease.
• -Diet and Rest: Observe the fasting/thirst rules in the hours leading up to the operation and arrive well-rested.
•

First Visit: Surgical Operation and Measurement (3 - 5 Days)

• -Consultation and Planning: On the first day, a detailed intraoral examination and a 3D dental tomography (CT) scan are performed. Your treatment plan is finalized digitally.
• -Surgical Procedure: 6 implants are placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia (or optional sedation).
• -Temporary Prosthesis Application: Immediately following the placement of the implants, temporary fixed prosthetics are attached on the same day or the next day so that our patients do not lose their routine daily life.
•  

Healing Period (3 - 4 Months)

Our patients can return to their home countries, spending this period at home to allow the implants to fully integrate with the jawbone (osseointegration).

Second Visit: Permanent Prosthesis and Results (4 - 7 Days)

• -Prosthetic Phase: Once the implants have fully fused with the bone, the permanent aesthetic prostheses are custom-prepared, fitted, and adjusted.
• -Delivery: The permanent prostheses, which perfectly match the natural tissue and smile design, are fixed, completing the treatment.

Consultation and Initial Treatment Planning

Before starting the treatment, a preliminary assessment is made using digital records and panoramic X-rays. During this stage:

• The patient's general health condition is evaluated.
• The jawbone structure and areas where the implants will be applied are analyzed in 3D.
• Detailed information is provided regarding the premium implant brands (e.g., Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Astra Tech) used in the treatment, which are recognized worldwide and have high success rates.
•  

Step-by-Step Description of the All-on-6 Surgical Operation

• -Preparation and Anesthesia: The surgical area is disinfected, and local anesthesia is applied so that no pain is felt during the procedure.
• -Placement of Implants: 6 implants are placed at specific angles into the strongest points of the bone.
• -Placement of Support (Abutment): Abutment components that allow the prostheses to be attached to the implants are placed.
• -Temporary Prosthesis: At the end of the treatment day, a temporary fixed prosthesis is attached to support chewing and speech functions.
•  

Cleaning and Maintenance of All-on-6 Dental Implants

• -Daily Brushing: All surfaces should be brushed gently at least twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush.
• -Interdental Cleaning: Interdental brushes or specialized dental floss must be used to clean plaque at the junction of the implant and the gums.
• -Regular Check-ups: You should attend professional cleaning and check-up sessions at least once or twice a year.
•

• Who is eligible for this insurance? It is issued in your name at the beginning of the treatment for all our international patients, in accordance with the legal infrastructure.
• Is the All-on-6 procedure a painful experience? Since local anesthesia or sedation is applied during the operation, you will not feel any pain or ache. During the healing process, you can easily get through it using the painkillers recommended by your physician.
• What is the lifespan of All-on-6 implants? With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, All-on-6 implants applied at The Pearl Clinic can last a lifetime.
• Will I be left without teeth during the treatment period? No. Thanks to the temporary fixed prosthesis applied on the day of surgery or the very next day, you can continue your normal life and will not feel any aesthetic discomfort.
• What is the fundamental difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6? All-on-4 places 4 implants into a single jaw, while All-on-6 utilizes 6 implants. 6 implants distribute chewing forces more evenly, providing a sturdier foundation and greater longevity.
