introduction
Full-arch dental implants have revolutionized smile restoration. In 2026, the three most requested solutions—All-on-4, All-on-6, and All-on-8—offer faster treatment, natural aesthetics, and long-term stability.
Choosing the right option depends on bone quality, bite forces, and aesthetic goals. In Turkey—especially Istanbul—patients trust Dream Clinica as a leading center for advanced full-arch implant dentistry using AI planning, CBCT, and guided surgery.
What Are Full-Arch Dental Implants?
Full-arch systems replace an entire row of teeth using a fixed bridge supported by 4, 6, or 8 implants. They are permanent, stable, and often allow immediate loading (temporary teeth on the same day).
The Core Differences at a Glance
| Feature | All-on-4 | All-on-6 | All-on-8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implants per arch | 4 | 6 | 8 |
| Best for | Moderate bone loss | Balanced strength & cost | Maximum stability |
| Bone grafting | Often avoided | Rare | Sometimes required |
| Chewing force | Good | Very good | Excellent |
| Longevity | 15–20 yrs | 20+ yrs | 20+ yrs |
| Cost (Turkey) | $$ | $$$ | $$$$ |
All-on-4: Fast & Bone-Friendly
Who it’s for: Patients with posterior bone loss or limited budget.
Why choose it: Two posterior implants are tilted to avoid sinus lift/bone grafting.
Pros: Fast, affordable, immediate teeth.
Considerations: Slightly less support for heavy biters.
All-on-6: The Balanced Standard
Who it’s for: Patients seeking more stability without a large cost jump.
Why choose it: Two extra implants distribute forces better.
Pros: Improved bite strength, longer lifespan, great value.
Considerations: Needs moderate bone volume.
All-on-8: Ultimate Strength & Precision
Who it’s for: High bite forces, dense bone, or premium aesthetics.
Why choose it: Maximum anchorage for a truly natural feel.
Pros: Best load distribution, premium stability, top aesthetics.
Considerations: Higher cost; bone grafting may be needed.
