What Is All-on-6 and Why Does It Cost What It Does?
All-on-6 is a full-arch dental implant solution that uses six strategically placed titanium implants to support a permanent prosthetic bridge. This approach may be recommended when a patient has sufficient bone density to support multiple implants, providing enhanced stability compared to solutions with fewer implants S2.
The cost reflects several factors:
Implant materials: Premium brands like Nobel Biocare or Straumann cost more than budget options such as Osstem or Dentium.
Surgical complexity: Placing six implants requires more time, skill, and precision than four.
Prosthetic quality: Zirconia bridges typically cost more than acrylic alternatives but may offer greater durability.
Technology: 3D CT scanning, guided surgery, and digital planning add to the upfront cost but may improve outcomes.
The number of implants needed depends on bone quality, jaw structure, and the recommendation of the oral surgeon following a clinical examination. Patients should consult with a qualified oral surgeon to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for their specific situation.

All-on-6 Cost Comparison: Turkey vs. Other Countries
The cost difference between Turkey and Western countries is substantial. According to aggregated clinic data, All-on-6 treatment in Turkey ranges from $3,920 to $12,112 per arch S1. This compares to $25,000–$35,000+ in the United States and £20,000+ in the United Kingdom.
This price differential does not necessarily indicate lower quality. Factors contributing to lower costs in Turkey include:
Lower operational costs (staff, facilities, living expenses)
Government support for medical tourism
Competitive clinic pricing due to market volume
Favorable exchange rates for international patients
However, prices vary significantly based on clinic reputation, surgeon experience, implant brand, and prosthetic materials. The median range in Turkey falls around $5,000–$6,000 for a complete treatment per arch S1.
What "All-Inclusive" Actually Means
Turkish dental clinics often market "all-inclusive" packages. These typically include the implants, temporary and permanent prosthetics, 3D imaging, extractions if needed, medications during treatment, hotel accommodation, and airport transfers. However, exclusions vary—always request a detailed breakdown.
What's Included in Your Turkey Package
Most dental tourism packages in Turkey bundle multiple services. Based on aggregated clinic data S1 and industry reporting S3:
Standard inclusions:
3D CT scan and diagnostic imaging
Tooth extractions (if needed before implant placement)
Six titanium dental implants
Temporary prosthetic teeth (immediate load)
Final permanent bridge
Local anesthesia
Medications prescribed during treatment
Follow-up visits during your stay
Airport transfers
Hotel accommodation (typically 4–5 star)
All ground transportation
What may vary between clinics:
Implant brand (premium vs. budget)
Prosthetic material (zirconia vs. acrylic)
Number of trips required
Length of accommodation included
Aftercare support after returning home
The typical timeline for All-on-6 may require two visits over 3–6 months: an initial trip for implant placement and temporary, followed by a second visit for the permanent prosthetic.
While the package price covers most items, several additional costs may arise:
| Additional Cost | Typical Range | Notes |
|----------------|---------------|-------|
| Bone grafting | $300–$800 per site | Required if bone density is insufficient |
| Sinus lift | $500–$1,500 | May be needed for upper jaw implants |
| Travel insurance | $50–$200 | Recommended for medical tourists |
| Flight costs | Variable | Depends on origin country and season |
| Medication after returning home | $20–$100 | Pain management, antibiotics |
| Local dentist follow-up | $100–$300 | For ongoing maintenance |
Hidden Fees to Watch For
Some clinics charge separately for the final permanent prosthesis, which may not be included in the initial quote. Others may add fees for complications or revisions. Always request a written, itemized quote before paying.
Whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed cannot be determined without a 3D CT scan and clinical evaluation. These procedures add both cost and recovery time to the treatment plan. The need for these procedures depends on individual patient factors including bone density, jaw structure, and overall oral health. Patients should discuss these potential needs with their oral surgeon during the consultation phase.
All-on-6 vs. All-on-4: Is the Extra Cost Worth It?
All-on-6 typically costs $5,000–$10,000 more than All-on-4 per arch S2. Whether the additional investment is worthwhile depends on the specific patient situation:
When All-on-4 may be sufficient:
Adequate bone density in the anterior jaw
Budget constraints
Faster treatment timeline
When All-on-6 may be recommended:
Better bone distribution across the arch
Enhanced stability and load distribution
Greater prosthetic options
Patients with moderate bone loss who want to avoid extensive grafting
The decision between All-on-4 and All-on-6 should be made in consultation with a qualified oral surgeon after clinical evaluation, including 3D imaging. Both procedures carry risks inherent to dental implant surgery, and individual outcomes vary.
How to Evaluate a Cost Quote
Before booking, ask these essential questions:
What implant brand will be used? Request the specific brand name and model.
Is bone grafting or sinus lift included or additional? Get clarification in writing.
How many trips are required? Confirm the expected timeline.
What is included in the final prosthetic? Ensure the permanent bridge is covered.
What warranty or guarantee do you offer? Understand terms for implant failure or prosthetic issues.
Who performs the surgery? Confirm it is a qualified oral surgeon, not a general dentist.
What happens if complications arise after I return home? Understand the clinic's aftercare protocols and your options.
Red Flags
Avoid clinics that refuse to provide written quotes, cannot specify implant brands, guarantee "perfect" results, or lack clear aftercare plans for international patients.
A fair quote should be itemized, transparent about what is and is not included, and backed by clear communication from the clinic. For guidance on verifying clinic credentials and standards, see our Accredited Dental Facilities page. When evaluating a provider, also consider the experience and qualifications of the surgical team—our Dental Specialists directory can help you understand what credentials to look for.
