YOUR TREATMENT GUIDE
Planning an All-on-6 Restoration
An All-on-6 discussion should explain the complete arch you are considering, from the starting condition of the jaw to the final bridge and its care. Use this overview to organise the main decisions before reading the detailed guide below.
01
The arch
Identify the upper or lower jaw and which existing teeth are part of the assessment.
02
The restoration
Separate the implants, connecting components, temporary teeth and final bridge in the proposal.
03
The review plan
Ask which checks take place in Istanbul and how later follow-up will be arranged.
What Does All-on-6 Mean?
All-on-6 describes a full-arch implant plan using six implants. The number is only one part of the proposal: ask about the restoration, the clinical findings and why that approach is being considered for the particular jaw.
What a Six-Implant Proposal Needs to Explain
An All-on-6 discussion should describe the jaw being treated, the proposed positions and the restoration the six implants will support. Ask the clinician to show how that arrangement relates to the examination and the teeth being retained or replaced.
If both jaws are involved, request a separate explanation for each. A recommendation for one jaw does not automatically determine the plan for the other. The written proposal should make the scope visible rather than rely on a single full-mouth label.
Why Six Implants Might Be Discussed in Your Case
Ask why the treating team is considering six implants for the planned restoration. A useful answer relates to the assessment and the design, rather than an assumption that a larger number always produces a better result.
If an All-on-4 plan has also been proposed, compare the two using the same clinical starting point. Ask which findings support each option, what alternatives are available and how the restorative stages would differ. The clinical comparison remains subject to individual review.
Coordinate Surgery and the Full-Arch Restoration
Ask how the surgeon and restorative clinician will agree the plan and who will explain it to you. The discussion should connect the implant arrangement with the final replacement teeth and identify any preparatory treatment.
The Istanbul clinic has CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning and an in-house laboratory. Ask which information is required for your case and how it will be reviewed. Your proposal should name the implant system actually selected from the clinic’s available brands.
Follow the Restoration Through Its Stages
A six-implant label does not specify when a restoration is fitted or whether the first restoration is temporary. Ask what you will have at each stage, what must be checked before moving forward and what could change the sequence.
Have temporary and final work listed separately in the quotation. If they differ in material or purpose, request an explanation you can keep with the plan. This prevents a photograph or package description from standing in for the actual staged proposal.
How Much Does All-on-6 Cost in Turkey?
Ask for a written quotation that describes the proposed treatment rather than comparing a price without its scope. The document should identify the work included, the materials or implant systems where relevant, investigations, temporary and final stages, the proposed visits and the aftercare arrangements.
Separate treatment costs from travel, accommodation and transfers. Ask which services are included, which are optional and what happens if the examination changes the plan. A lower headline amount is not enough to establish that two quotations cover the same care.
How Many Visits and How Long in Istanbul?
Discuss the clinical sequence before making travel commitments. Ask which stages happen on the first visit, what must be reviewed before a later stage and what would happen if the schedule needs to change.
Your plan should distinguish appointment time from the total stay and identify any later visit. Request a clear explanation of the assumptions behind the proposed dates. The general six-step journey is a guide to coordination, not a fixed clinical timetable.
Risks, Limitations and Questions to Raise
Review the implant safety section with your clinician and ask which risks apply to your planned surgery and restoration. Request a clear explanation of alternatives, maintenance and what would happen if the plan had to change.
Aftercare, Records and Written Terms
Ask which checks are planned before you leave Istanbul, which records you will receive and whom you should contact after travelling home. Medico Clinic has active aftercare partners in London and Pennsylvania. Confirm whether a named partner is relevant to your case and how appointments will be arranged.
Discuss the difference between planned follow-up, unexpected problems and any written warranty. The location of a partner does not establish free or unlimited services. Keep a copy of the agreed plan and ask for any unclear responsibilities or costs to be explained.
Prepare Your Questions Before the Consultation
Ask who will assess and treat you, what is included in the quotation, which decisions remain provisional, and how the number of visits is determined. Request a written summary so you can review the clinical and practical parts together.
You can also ask how the treatment records will be handed over, whether the London or Pennsylvania aftercare partner is relevant to you and which fees or exclusions apply. The six-step patient journey should be adapted to your confirmed plan.
The Team Involved in Your Treatment
Visit the doctors hub to see the named members of the Medico Clinic team. Ask who will assess your case, perform each stage and coordinate your follow-up.
Know What Fixed Means for Future Care
Implants can support a fixed crown or bridge, or a removable overdenture. A fixed restoration is not removed by the patient for cleaning in the way a removable denture is. Ask the dentist to demonstrate the care required for the actual restoration being proposed.
The aftercare discussion should identify routine reviews and the route for assessing a problem with the restoration. Keep the final system and restoration details available to the clinician responsible for follow-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is All-on-6 available at Medico Clinic?
All-on-6 is one of the treatments Medico Clinic offers. Suitability and the proposed protocol require a clinical assessment.
Does the name include both jaws?
Ask whether the quotation covers one arch or both jaws, and which restorations are included. The treatment name alone does not establish the commercial scope.
Will I receive final teeth on the same day?
Do not assume that temporary and final teeth are the same stage. Ask the clinician to explain the proposed schedule and the clinical criteria; Your dentist will confirm whether same-day temporary teeth are suitable after examining your mouth and scans.
How much does the treatment cost?
An approved itemised quotation is needed. Compare the actual systems, restorations, visits and follow-up terms rather than a headline package price.
Can I use an aftercare partner at home?
Discuss your home location and the scope of the relevant partner arrangement. Active partners are listed in London and Pennsylvania; the individual booking and cost arrangements must be confirmed.
