Enhanced Restoration
Why All-on-6 Offers Superior Stability #
All-on-6 uses two additional implants compared to All-on-4, providing enhanced load distribution, better long-term stability, and improved outcomes for patients with moderate bone loss.
01
Superior Load Distribution
Six implants distribute chewing forces more evenly across the arch, reducing stress on individual fixtures. This enhanced biomechanics translates to better long-term survival rates and reduced risk of prosthetic complications.
02
Greater Stability
Two extra implants provide significantly more retention and stability than All-on-4. Patients report greater confidence when chewing tough foods, reduced prosthetic movement, and a more natural feeling restoration.
03
Versatile Placement
Six implants allow for more flexible positioning to work around anatomical limitations like sinuses or nerves. Surgeons can optimize placement based on your unique bone architecture, improving long-term success rates.
04
Better for Bone Loss
Patients with moderate to severe bone loss often benefit from All-on-6 over All-on-4. The additional implants compensate for reduced bone density and provide redundancy if one fixture encounters complications during healing.
05
Reduced Cantilever
The additional posterior implants minimize cantilever extension (unsupported bridge length), which is the primary cause of prosthetic fracture in full arch restorations. This means fewer repairs and longer prosthesis lifespan.
06
Proven Excellence
Clinical studies show 97%+ implant survival at 10 years for All-on-6 — slightly higher than All-on-4. The additional implants provide a safety margin that translates to measurably better long-term outcomes for patients.

Treatment Journey
Your All-on-6 Procedure #
From consultation to final prosthesis — the entire journey typically requires two visits to Istanbul over 5–6 months.
-
Pre-Arrival
Digital Planning
Before you travel, VeaHealth coordinates comprehensive diagnostics — 3D CBCT scan, panoramic X-rays, and digital treatment planning. Your surgeon designs the six-implant configuration virtually to optimize placement.
- Medical history & video consultation
- 3D CBCT scan & X-rays analyzed
- 6-implant surgical guide designed
- Final treatment plan confirmed
- Travel & hotel coordination
-
Day 1–2 — Istanbul
Surgery & Immediate Teeth
Under IV sedation or general anesthesia, six implants are placed per arch using 3D-guided surgery. Any failing teeth are extracted. Temporary acrylic teeth are attached the same day — you leave with a full smile.
- IV sedation or general anesthesia
- Tooth extractions if needed
- 6 implants placed per arch
- Immediate temporary prosthesis attached
- Post-op medications & instructions
-
Day 3–7 — Istanbul
Recovery & Monitoring
You remain in Istanbul for 5–7 days for daily check-ups. Swelling peaks at 48–72 hours. Your surgeon adjusts temporary teeth for comfort and verifies healing progress before you return home.
- Daily wound inspection
- Suture removal (day 7–10)
- Bite adjustment on temporary teeth
- Pain management monitored
- Soft diet guidance provided
-
Month 1–4
Osseointegration
Implants fuse with your jawbone over 4–6 months. You wear temporary teeth during this period and gradually return to normal eating. VeaHealth monitors your healing remotely via photos and video calls.
- Bone integration progresses naturally
- Temporary teeth remain functional
- Gradual diet progression
- Remote check-ins every 2 weeks
- No travel required during healing
-
Month 5–6 — Return Visit
Final Prosthesis Placement
You return to Istanbul for 3–5 days. The temporary bridge is removed and digital impressions are taken. Your final premium zirconia prosthesis is fabricated, tested, and permanently attached to all six implants.
- Temporary prosthesis removed
- Digital impressions & bite registration
- Final zirconia bridge crafted (2–3 days)
- Try-in with shade and occlusion check
- Permanent screw-retention & warranty docs

2.1%
Prosthetic complication rate over 10 years — 40% lower than All-on-4 due to reduced cantilever length and better biomechanical support from additional implants.
25+ yrs
Documented implant lifespan in well-maintained All-on-6 cases — confirming that with proper hygiene, biannual cleanings, and regular monitoring, the implants can truly last a lifetime.
Patient Questions
Frequently Asked Questions #
Is All-on-6 better than All-on-4?
All-on-6 offers enhanced stability, better load distribution, and reduced cantilever length compared to All-on-4. It’s particularly beneficial for patients with moderate bone loss or those seeking maximum long-term stability. Studies show slightly higher success rates and fewer prosthetic complications. However, All-on-4 remains an excellent option for patients with good bone density.
Is All-on-6 surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia — you feel nothing during surgery. Post-op discomfort (swelling, soreness) peaks at 48–72 hours and is managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients describe it as less painful than expected, comparable to multiple tooth extractions.
How long do All-on-6 implants last?
The titanium implants can last a lifetime with proper care — studies confirm 97%+ survival at 10 years. The zirconia prosthesis may need replacement after 15–20 years due to wear. Biannual professional cleanings and good oral hygiene are essential for long-term success.
Can I eat normally with All-on-6?
Yes. After full healing (4–6 months), you can eat all foods without restriction — including steak, nuts, apples, and corn on the cob. Chewing power is restored to 95–98% of natural teeth. The two extra implants provide even greater stability than All-on-4 for tough foods.
What if I don’t have enough bone?
All-on-6 is specifically designed for patients with moderate bone loss. The strategic angulation of posterior implants and the addition of two mid-arch implants often eliminates the need for bone grafting. VeaHealth identifies any grafting needs during pre-treatment planning and factors it into your timeline and quote.
How many trips to Istanbul are required?
Two visits: the first for surgery and temporary teeth (7 days), and a second visit 5–6 months later for the final prosthesis (3–5 days). The healing phase in between is managed remotely by VeaHealth with no travel required.
Is the warranty valid internationally?
Yes. VeaHealth’s lifetime warranty on implants and 3-year warranty on prosthetics are valid worldwide. If a warranty issue arises after you return home, VeaHealth coordinates resolution remotely or via a local affiliated clinic in your country.
What implant brand will be used?
VeaHealth exclusively uses Straumann and Nobel Biocare implants — the two most researched and validated brands globally. The specific brand, model, and serial numbers are documented in your treatment file and provided at completion. This is a contractual guarantee.
