If you’re facing tooth loss, failing bridges, or the daily discomfort of dentures, it may be time for a life-changing solution: full mouth dental implants. But which system should you choose — All-on-4 or All-on-6?
This guide explains the key differences, costs, results, and why Turkey has become the go-to destination for permanent smile restoration.
What Are All-on-4 and All-on-6 Implants?
These two solutions are designed to replace a full set of upper or lower teeth using a fixed bridge supported by implants:
- All-on-4: Four implants placed per jaw + a custom full-arch bridge
- All-on-6: Six implants per jaw = more stability and biting power
- Loading Options: Immediate (same-day teeth) or 2-stage healing
- Ideal for: Patients seeking a permanent alternative to dentures
