All-on-6 implant technique represents an advantage for patients who are edentulous. This system of prostheses attached to the jaw with only six implants provides the patient with the possibility of having teeth that are close to natural teeth with the comfort of eliminating aesthetic problems. The most important aspect of the application is that, in the majority of the cases, successful results can be achieved without the need for additional bone grafting.

All on 6 dental implants in Istanbul
All-on-6 procedure provides a permanent replacement for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth. During this procedure, six titanium implants are surgically placed into the jawbone to provide a stable base for a fixed prosthesis. Istanbul All-on-6 is not a removable denture but a natural-looking, fixed set of teeth that restores aesthetics and function.
When is All-on-6 indicated?
- Total edentulousness:Best solution for edentulous patients in the upper jaw and/or lower jaw. A more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional full dentures.
- Tooth loss due to caries or periodontal disease:This is the best choice if you have to have a lot of teeth pulled because of severe decay or gum disease.
- Dissatisfaction of the patient with removable dentures:A non-removable option for people with mobility, speech, or chewing problems with removable dentures. People with mouth sores from the friction of dentures are also candidates.
Who is not a good candidate for All-on-6 in Istanbul?
- All-on-6 is a modern and effective solution for people suffering from tooth loss. However, there are some situations when this treatment cannot be done or changes to the procedure need to be made.
- Inadequate bone volume: The jawbone must be of a certain width and height so that implants can be anchored firmly in it.
- Systemic conditions that are not controlled: Individuals with serious health issues or conditions that may affect the recovery process (such as uncontrolled diabetes) must be subjected to a detailed medical assessment prior to surgery.
- Patients recently undergone chemotherapy or radiotherapy:In patients who have undergone cancer treatment (chemotherapy/radiotherapy) in the last 12 months, implant placement should normally be postponed as bone metabolism and wound healing may be adversely affected.

How is All-on-6 treatment performed?
At Clinique Dent Beauté, the process begins with meticulous digital planning under the guidance of Dr Ferzan Kemali and is flawlessly completed with the precise fitting of the permanent fixed prosthesis. 3D dental CT scan (CBCT) is used to map bone density, nerve pathways and anatomical risk factors.
Implant procedure
- Anaesthesia: Istanbul All on six procedure is carried out completely pain-free and comfortably under local anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition and preference. A topical anaesthetic cream is also applied beforehand to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible.
- Implant placement: A total of six implants are placed vertically in the front section of the jawbone and at specific angles in the rear section to protect the nerves and sinuses.
Same-day temporary fixed prosthesis placement
As soon as the surgery is complete, the pre-prepared temporary fixed composite prosthesis is screwed onto the implants. These temporary teeth not only restore the aesthetic appearance but also allow you to chew soft foods during the healing period.
The osseointegration phase
It takes between 3 and 6 months for the implant screws to fuse with the jawbone at a cellular level. During this process, our patient coordinators at Clinique Dent Beauté will remain in regular contact with you, and the condition of implants will be monitored through routine check-ups.
Permanent prosthesis stage
Once osseointegration is complete, precise measurements are taken for the permanent prosthesis. Manufactured from highly durable materials that offer excellent aesthetics, zirconia prostheses are secured to the implants using a special screw system. Following occlusal and aesthetic fittings, our patient is discharged with their new smile.
What should be paid attention to after All-on-6 in Istanbul?
Istanbul All-on-6 is a advanced procedure that enables you to receive new teeth in only one day. However, the post-op care process is critical to ensure this success endures for a long time. The care you give throughout this process will help ensure your new smile remains healthy and strong for a lifetime. Here’s what you need to remember to make sure your new teeth can last for many years with proper care:
The first few days after surgery
The period immediately following the operation is the most sensitive time, as the oral tissues begin to heal.
- Expected symptoms:It is completely normal to experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in your gums; this usually subsides on its own within a few days.
- Speech adaptation:You may experience a slight lisp initially as you get used to your new teeth.
Nutrition
You will need to eat mainly soft foods during the healing process, which may last about 3 to 6 months. Chewing hard foods can be too much load placed on Istanbul All on 6 implants that are not yet fully fused to the bone, and this can interfere with healing or cause damage.
Daily care
- Your All-on-6 prosthesis will not develop decay, but the longevity of the implants is determined by the health of the gums around them.
- You will still have to brush your teeth with a regular toothbrush and use dental floss to remove food particles.
- Gum disease surrounding an implant can develop if you don’t clean properly. Good oral hygiene ensures fresh breath and helps prevent the risk of losing the implants.
Regular check-ups
Even after the procedure, you should continue to see your dentist. It is recommended to visit your dentist once or twice a year (every 6 months) to check the condition of your implant(s).
