Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 3-on-6 and all-on-4?
3-on-6 uses six implants and three separate bridge sections per jaw, while all-on-4 uses four implants and a single full-arch bridge. 3-on-6 allows individual bridge segments to be serviced; all-on-4 requires the entire bridge to be removed for any repair.
How much does 3-on-6 cost in Turkey?
3-on-6 in Turkey typically costs 50-65% less than UK private prices. A single-jaw 3-on-6 costing £18,000-£25,000 in the UK is a fraction of that in Antalya, with an exact written quote issued after a free remote consultation.
How long does 3-on-6 treatment take?
Most 3-on-6 cases follow a two-trip protocol. The first trip (7-10 days) covers implant placement and temporary bridges; the second trip (5-7 days), 3-6 months later, fits the final permanent bridges.
Is 3-on-6 better than all-on-4?
Neither is universally better — they suit different needs. 3-on-6 offers greater repairability and load distribution; all-on-4 works well with reduced bone and is slightly lower cost. Your consultation confirms which system fits your bone and clinical picture.
Does 3-on-6 hurt?
All implant placements are performed under local anaesthesia, so the procedure is painless. Post-operative discomfort, typically mild to moderate swelling and soreness, is managed with prescription medication and usually settles within 3-7 days.
Can I eat normally with 3-on-6?
Yes — the temporary bridge fitted on the day of surgery allows soft-food eating from the first night. The final zirconia or acrylic-titanium bridge restores full chewing function. We advise avoiding very hard foods to protect both bridges and natural teeth.
How long do 3-on-6 implants last?
The implant fixtures themselves typically last 20+ years or a lifetime with good care. The prosthetic bridges last 10-15+ years, and the segmented design means individual sections can be replaced without removing the whole restoration.
Do I need good bone for 3-on-6?
3-on-6 performs best with adequate bone volume across all six implant positions. Patients with significant bone loss may need sinus lifting or bone grafting, which can be carried out during the same trip and is included in the plan.
Is the treatment done in one trip?
Most 3-on-6 cases require two trips. Some eligible patients with excellent bone and health may qualify for single-visit immediate loading, which we recommend only where it is clinically safe.
What is included in the UK patient package?
