All-on-6 in Istanbul: individual full-arch planning

What does the treatment involve?

All-on-6 is an approach in which a full-arch restoration may be supported by six implants. Prosthesis design, implant positions and oral conditions are considered together. The number six does not establish that every patient needs more implants or that one method is universally better. The clinical reason for the proposed configuration should be explained.

Assessment and treatment planning

Planning starts with the condition of remaining teeth, bone volume and distribution, gum health, the bite and general health. The dentist decides which imaging is appropriate. Surgery, a temporary prosthesis, healing and a final restoration may follow different sequences according to individual needs. Suitability cannot be confirmed solely from an image or the name of the treatment.

Which alternatives should you discuss?

When comparing All-on-4 and All-on-6, discuss prosthesis design, force distribution, cleaning access and visits as well as implant numbers. Other fixed or removable restorations may also be options. Explain your priorities and ask for the reasoning, alternatives and possible additional procedures in writing during the planning process.

Care and follow-up

Long-term care includes cleaning around the implants and beneath the restoration. Reviews, suitable cleaning aids and contact arrangements after you return home should be part of the plan. Do not assume the same timeline, temporary prosthesis or number of trips for every person. Contact the clinic if you notice a change or discomfort.

Planning your visit to Istanbul

If you live outside Istanbul, include your country, the treatment you are considering and possible travel dates in your first enquiry. Existing images may help the initial conversation. Ask the clinic what is useful before arranging new imaging. Diagnosis and a confirmed plan require examination; a remote conversation prepares for that visit.

Before committing to flights or accommodation, clarify examination and treatment appointments, laboratory or healing stages and possible additional visits. Do not assume flights, hotels or transfers are included in treatment fees. Confirm needs and responsibilities directly. Planning should also cover where reviews will take place after you return home and when to contact the Istanbul clinic.

What affects the treatment estimate?

A treatment name alone does not determine its cost. The number of teeth, existing restorations, additional assessment, material choice and stages of care can affect the overall scope. General information in an initial message is different from a plan following examination. When comparing options, request an explanation that identifies the proposed procedures and possible additional needs.

Ask whether examination, imaging, temporary stages, laboratory work, final restorations and reviews are included. Payment timing, what happens if the plan changes and separate travel expenses should be clear. A personalised fee or outcome cannot be established here without assessing your individual situation.
