What is All-on-Six Implant?
All on Six is an innovative implant treatment method used to provide a full set of teeth in edentulous jaws. This method is based on the principle of placing six dental implants in the jawbone and placing a fixed prosthesis on these implants. All on Six is a variation of the All on Four technique, which provides better support for the prosthesis by using two additional implants. This treatment method is an ideal solution especially for patients whose jawbone has sufficient density.
Who is All on Six Suitable For?
Toothless Patients
All on Six is suitable for patients who have lost all their teeth for various reasons or whose existing teeth cannot be saved.
Those with Sufficient Jawbone Density
Patients with adequate jaw bone density will achieve the best results from All on Six treatment. Adequate bone density increases the stability of the implants and the longevity of the prosthesis.
Those Who Prefer Fixed Prosthesis
All on Six is the perfect solution for patients looking for a fixed and more reliable denture instead of removable dentures.
All on Six Treatment Process
The All on Six treatment process involves comprehensive planning carried out in several stages. Each stage is carefully designed and customized to the patient’s needs.
Initial Inspection and Planning
The treatment process begins with a detailed examination and consultation session with your dentist. At this stage, the condition of your jawbone is evaluated and the areas where the implants will be placed are determined using digital imaging techniques. Your dentist determines whether the All on Six treatment is suitable for you and informs you about the treatment process.
Treatment Plan and Preparation
After the examination, your dentist creates a personalized treatment plan for you. This plan covers the areas where the implants will be placed, the type of prosthesis, and the duration of treatment. During the preparation phase, the necessary preparations are made by taking into account the condition of your jawbone and the health of your gums.
Placement of Implants
The most important stage of the All on Six treatment is the placement of six implants into the jawbone. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and requires surgical intervention. The implants are placed in the strongest areas of the jawbone, creating a strong foundation for the prosthesis.
Temporary Prosthesis Placement
Immediately after the implants are placed, the patient is fitted with a temporary prosthesis. This prosthesis allows the patient to eat and speak normally while the implants heal. The temporary prosthesis is replaced with a permanent prosthesis when treatment is complete.
Healing Process and Permanent Prosthesis
A healing process that usually takes several months is required for the implants to fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration). During this time, the implants are completely integrated with the jawbone. Once the healing process is complete, the temporary denture is replaced with a permanent denture. The permanent denture is very similar to natural teeth in terms of aesthetics and function and is long-lasting.

Reduced Need for Bone Grafts
All on Six does not require a bone graft for most patients, and is ideal for patients with adequate jaw bone density.
Long Lasting Results
With proper care, All on Six implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term investment.
High Aesthetics and Function
Fixed dentures offer aesthetic and functional results like natural teeth. Excellent results are achieved in terms of chewing, speaking and general oral health.

Regular Dentist Checkups

Avoiding Hard Foods
Hard foods can damage dentures, so you should avoid hard foods to prevent damage to your implants and dentures.
Attention to Oral Hygiene
It is important to pay attention to oral hygiene for the longevity of implants. You should brush your teeth at least twice a day, use dental floss and support your oral hygiene with mouthwash.
