All-on-4 vs All-on-6 in Turkey
Both treatments replace a full arch of teeth with a fixed implant-supported bridge. The difference is the number of implants used and the clinical criteria for each. This guide explains what matters for UK patients choosing between the two in Turkey.
What Is the Real Difference Between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are both full-arch dental implant treatments — they replace every tooth in an arch (upper or lower jaw) with a fixed prosthesis screwed onto implants. For UK patients considering treatment in Turkey, both options save 60–75% compared with UK private prices. The question is not which is "better" in general, but which is clinically appropriate for your specific jaw anatomy.
All-on-4 uses four implants per arch. Two are placed vertically at the front, and two are angled at the rear to take advantage of available bone and avoid anatomical obstacles. The angled placement is designed to reduce or eliminate the need for bone grafting in many patients. All-on-6 uses six implants distributed across the arch, providing more support points — which can benefit patients with different bone distributions, broader arches, or heavier planned restorations.
At Taki Dent in Antalya — the well-reviewed clinic for UK patients seeking full-arch implant treatment in Turkey — your specialist will review a cone beam CT scan and advise which configuration is most appropriate for your individual anatomy. There is no one-size-fits-all answer.

When Is Each Option Recommended?
These are the primary clinical factors a specialist will consider when recommending All-on-4 or All-on-6 for UK patients in Turkey.
All-on-4 May Be Recommended When:
- Angled posterior implants make best use of available bone
- Bone grafting should be avoided or is not possible
- Four strategically placed implants provide sufficient support
- Patient has bone loss but adequate bone at angled positions
- The arch anatomy is suited to the All-on-4 configuration
- Clinical preference for the established angled-implant protocol
All-on-6 May Be Recommended When:
- Bone volume allows six well-distributed implants
- Greater load distribution is needed across the arch
- A broader arch benefits from six support points
- A heavier or wider final prosthesis is planned
- Six implants provide better biomechanical spread than four angled
- Additional implants are preferred for long-term stability margin
All-on-6 Cost in Turkey vs All-on-4 Cost in Turkey
For UK patients, the cost of full-arch implant treatment in Turkey is significantly lower than equivalent private UK treatment regardless of whether you choose All-on-4 or All-on-6. In the UK, All-on-4 treatment typically costs £15,000–£25,000 per arch; All-on-6 is typically £20,000–£30,000 per arch.
At Taki Dent in Antalya, All-on-4 treatment starts from approximately £3,000–£5,000 per arch and All-on-6 from approximately £5,500–£8,000 per arch. Both options include the use of internationally recognised implant systems (Straumann and Nobel Biocare are used at Taki Dent), the temporary prosthesis, and the final zirconia or acrylic-on-titanium bridge.
The price difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6 in Turkey largely reflects the cost of two additional implants per arch and any associated planning adjustments. The savings versus UK prices remain substantial for both treatments — typically 60–75% even when travel and accommodation are included.
