About All-on-4 and All-on-6

All-on-4 and All-on-6 replace a full arch of teeth (upper, lower or both) with a fixed bridge held in place by four or six dental implants. Unlike a removable denture, the bridge is fixed and is only taken out by a dentist.

Any remaining teeth in that arch that can't be kept are removed, the implants are placed, and a temporary bridge is usually fitted. After the implants have fused with the bone, you return for the final bridge.

Who it may suit

  • Most or all teeth in an arch missing, or failing teeth that can't be saved.
  • Enough jawbone to hold the implants; the dentist decides between four and six implants based on your X-rays and bone.
  • Smoking and poorly controlled diabetes make implant problems more likely.

How long you'll stay in Turkiye

Full-arch treatment usually needs two visits: 3 to 4 days to place the implants, 3 to 4 months of healing at home, then 7 to 10 days to fit the final bridge.

Recovery & aftercare

Typical timings. Your doctor will give you a personal plan.

First week
Swelling, bruising and soreness are common. You'll be on a soft diet with the temporary bridge.
3 to 4 months
The implants fuse with the jawbone while you heal at home.
Second visit
The final bridge is made and fitted, with adjustments for your bite.

Once you're home

  • Follow the dentist's instructions on cleaning, mouthwash and diet in the first weeks.
  • Avoid smoking: it slows healing and makes implant failure more likely.
  • Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth and around implants, and keep up regular check-ups with a dentist at home.
  • Bring your X-rays, treatment records and the implant details home so your own dentist knows what was done.
  • Contact the clinic if swelling or pain gets worse after the first few days, or if an implant or crown feels loose.

Risks to know about

Every procedure carries risks. These are some of the main ones. The treating doctor will explain the risks that apply to you before you give your consent.

  • Infection around the implants, or an implant failing to fuse with the bone.
  • Gum inflammation around the implants (peri-implantitis) over the longer term if they aren't cleaned well.
  • Nerve damage causing numbness in the lip or chin, or sinus problems with upper-jaw implants.
  • The bridge can chip or wear and may need repair over time.

Frequently asked questions

All-on-4 or All-on-6: which is better?

Neither is better for everyone. The dentist recommends the number of implants based on your jawbone and bite after reviewing your X-rays.

Will I have teeth between the two visits?

A temporary bridge is usually fitted after the implants are placed, so you aren't without teeth while you heal. The clinic confirms this for your case.
