Our Treatments

When you search the Internet about how and where to get dental implants for your missing teeth, you may have come across “All on 4” or “All on 6” implant treatment options.

In the past, dental professionals used to have 8-10 dental implants per arch to give a sturdy enough foundation for the replacement of the lost teeth. Each replacement teeth would be placed on top of a single implant. But this now changed thanks to the All on Dental Procedure.

What is the All on Dental Procedure?

All on 4 - All on 6 Dental Implants are treatment of fixed dentures that are applied by placing 4 or 6 dental implants at certain angles in the lower jaw and upper jaw regions. It simply refers to having all dental replacement teeth being supported on of 4 or 6 dental implants.

This is an extremely comfortable application preferred by those who have lost all their teeth or who cannot use removable dentures.

What Is the Difference Between All on 4 and All on 6?

You may think the more the merrier and this may be true as higher numbers do provide greater stability and reinforcement for the jawbone. But depending on the health and functionality of the patient’s jawbone and gum tissue, our expert team of dentists and surgeons will be there to determine exactly how many implants to apply and what kind of treatment process to follow.

All on 4 - All on 6 Procedure in General

• Clinical Examination

  In your first visit to the clinic, we will perform a detailed clinical examination, as well as a three-dimensional tomography of your jaw in order to plan your treatment. This procedure involves the use of special systems with the highest technology available in our clinic. Following this, a surgical appointment is will be scheduled.

• Placing Implants and Temporary Dentures

  At this surgical visit, the operational phases of All on 4 - All on 6 dental implant surgery is performed, and this is followed by the application of temporary acrylic bridges. Any teeth that need to be extracted simultaneously with the placement of the implants are extracted at this visit. Measurements are taken for the temporary fixed dentures after implant surgery and the laboratory phase is initiated for the production of temporary bridges.

  In approximately 1-1.5 days, the composite/PMMA (acrylic) temporary bridge with a screw retention is produced ready to be delivered to the patient after the laboratory phase. This is the final stage after which the patient can have his or her teeth and wait for the permanent bridges to be built.

  The first surgical visit concludes with the steps of Assessment - Surgery - Temporary Denture - Control and Follow-up of the surgical field. The patient then returns to his/her country to come for a second surgical appointment.

• Healing

  The healing process is usually completed in a period of 3 to 6 months. This is called osseointegration where new bone formation takes place in the areas where implants are placed. During this period, you may experience gum bleeding and swelling for a couple of days which is very normal. Use the medication prescribed by your surgeon and stick to a soft diet during the recovery phase. After you are fully healed, we will expect you to Turkey for a second time to start working on your permanent dentures.

  All of these surgical interventions can be performed under local anesthesia, or under general anesthesia, taking into account the psychological and physiological state of the patient.

Am I Supposed to Spend This Time with No Teeth at All?

You will need nearly 3-4 months for your All on 4 - All on 6 dental implants to fully fuse with your jawbone. During this time, you will have teeth of course; you will be using your temporary dentures provided at your first visit to Turkey.

The patient can have his or her final bridges and dentures fitted at the second visit. During this appointment, we first evaluate the implant health of our patient. If the patient appears ready for the final dentures, the prosthetic steps are initiated. Permanent fixed screw-retained bridges, i.e. permanent teeth, are delivered to the patient in about 1 week.

The phases and length of this process depend entirely on the patient. For instance, in some patients, bone loss may be so severe that additional treatment or even an extra visit to the clinic may be required. In some cases, it may even require a third visit to complete all treatment phases.

Our expert team of dentists will inform you about the best options at every stage.
