ALL ON 6 TREATMENT

Dentares in Antalya, Turkey has consistently provided high-quality all-on-6
treatments at affordable prices to Dental Tourists. Quality implants with new
microtechnologies and state of the art equipment are used by our experienced
Doctors to deliver complete smile makeovers

What is the all on 6?

The all on 6 treatment is considered the complete smile makeover because doctors
have the potential to use all available treatments in combination with the all on 6
treatment to deliver renewed, happy smiles.
The all on 6 treatment utilises 6 implants evenly placed vertically to the bone
structure on each jaw. This system is a great option for patients of all sorts of oral
conditions. If the patient has a healthy amount of bone structure, the all on 6 is a
great option to preserve bone and provide a permanent denture system. 
In cases where the sinus cavity has invaded the bone structure of the upper jaw and
there is still available bone. We can increase the amount of structure by lifting the
sinus and placing bone graft. Implants in most cases are still able to be placed in
combination with bone grafts and sinus lift operations. However this would extend the
recovery time for 3 months to 6 months to allow sufficient healing. Sinus lifting and
bone grafts are not always required, so long as there is a healthy amount of bone
structure for the implants to be successfully placed and integrated.
On the lower jaw, unless there are divets, extraction sockets or abscesses in the
bone structure, placing bone graft would not be necessary. 
The preservation of bone structure is key to having a healthy set of teeth or dentures
for the rest of our lives.

Who is a candidate for the all on 6?

Any patient who will have full extractions or is already without teeth, and looking for a
permanent denture solution, that has healthy bone structure. These patients are
seeking to improve their quality of life, confidence and social engagement.
Sometimes a hearty steak is not possible to eat by a person losing their teeth or
experiencing pain when chewing hard foods.
Patients that present with bone loss on both jaws but have enough structure to
support implant treatment. Also those with multiple missing teeth, cracked, broken or
ground down teeth are suitable for the all on 6 treatment.
In most cases where the sinus cavity has invaded the bone structure but there is still
more than a centimetre of bone structure, sinus lifting and bone grafts are an added
treatment but still allow the candidacy of these patients for the all on 6 treatment.

In the lower jaw, the doctor needs to see enough bone structure between the gingiva
(gum) and the nerve canal on the lower side of the jaw. If there is enough structure,
then the doctor can place implants. If there is not enough structure, this could
compromise the nerve canal and lead to numbness. So the doctor always plans the
precise measurements of the implant and the true placement within the jaw. If there is
not enough bone structure, then the all on 4 treatment may be recommended
instead.

What treatments are involved in the all on 6 treatment?

Including 6 implants per jaw, there are bone grafts, sinus lifting, extraction, abscess
clean, membrane, and masseter botox injection. Not all of these treatments may be
required.
Bone graft is a material that allows for the natural reabsorption to a patients own
bone increasing the available bone structure for successful implant fusion.
Sinus lifting is a delicate procedure that involves surgical opening the bone structure
and care fully lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone graft material for future
successful implant osseointegration.
Extraction includes the removal of any tooth or damaged tooth that has now become
a bundle of nerves.
Abscess cleaning refers to a build up of pus and bad bacteria within a pocket of the
bone structure, often going undetected without the aid of an x-ray or tomography
scan.
A barrier membrane is used in some bone graft treatments to keep the bone graft in
place and the membrane keeps soft tissue and bone tissue separate. The membrane
is often dissolvable and will be absorbed into the body over a month post-treatment.

How much does the all on 6 treatment cost in Turkey?

It varies very from patient to patient. The patient gets to choose their preferred
implant brand from NTA®, Camlog iSy®, Global D® and Straumann®. They may
also require additional treatments such as bone grafts, sinus lifting, extraction,
abscess clean, membrane, and masseter botox injection. Price will also vary on the
reputation of the clinic and its doctors. At Dentares Smile Clinic, surgical procedures
are performed by a fully equipped oral and maxillofacial surgeon. The all on 6 can
include the most amount of dental treatments available and with every patient’s
needs being different, there is no way we can place a flat fee.

What implants are able to be used in the all on 6 treatment?

The all on 6 treatment is preferred with implant brands:  NTA®, Camlog iSy®,
Global D® and Straumann®. Some have a clean implant certification, SLactive
microtechnology feature, and with immediate loading capacity. Please contact us to
find out why we prefer these brands and to get detailed information.

What are the advantages?

The all on 6 treatment allows patients to completely restore the health of their dental
status and obtain a perfectly functional and beautifully aesthetic smile. Implants also
preserve the remaining bone structure in a patient. The bite force is equally
distributed over a full set of aesthetic dentures. So by having implants, no specific
area is made responsible for almost all biting, chewing and grinding. This in turn, will
prolong the lifetime of your natural bone. Other advantages include:
 Patients have a boost in their quality of life.
 The patient chooses their designer smile style and colour 
 Compared to UK, USA and Eastern European countries, having the all on 6
treatments and other minor treatments are considerably more affordable. Up
to 60 percent cheaper.
 Patients can obtain their new smile within 3-6 months compared to other
countries, that would take 9-12 months
 Dentares have specialised doctors so every treatment is performed by an
expert

What are the disadvantages?

The all on 6 treatment can take between 3 to 9 months to complete depending if
bone grafting, sinus lifting or multiple major abscesses are present. Patients need to
wait these months with temporary dentures which can feel bulky. Other
disadvantages include:
 May require an extra 1 visit according to the all on 4 process
 The treatments carry surgical risk and should therefore be performed by fully
licensed and experienced surgeons. This may increase the cost of treatment.
If you choose Turkey for this procedure, you can save up to 60 per cent.
 Smokers and drinkers are required to quit or reduce these habits where
possible to allow proper integration of the implants and healing of the bone
and gums. Nicotine patches are an option.
 Patients need to take better care of their oral hygiene especially after the all on
6 treatment.
 Although rare, local complications that may occur during dental implant
surgery are: nerve injury that may result in numbness; but is usually temporary
and bleeding. Complications that may arise after surgery are: infection and
failure of the implant to integrate with the bone.
