For patients with severe, widespread dental issues, a standard “All-on-4” or “All-on-6” may not be enough. This is where the “All-on-8” system demonstrates true clinical expertise, providing maximum possible stability for full mouth dental implants.
This is the case for Akbar M., who came to Smile Dental Turkey with numerous failing teeth and significant bone loss. This is the story of his 3-visit journey to a complete, surgically-advanced, “Dual All-on-8” smile.
- Patient: Akbar M.
- Lead Surgeon: Özkan Özkaynak, D.D.S., Ph.D. (Surgical Phase)
- Prosthodontist: Uğur Gültekinler, D.D.S. (Restorative Phase)
- Procedure: Dual All-on-8 Dental Implants (8 Upper, 8 Lower), Sinus Lift, Bone Graft, 16 Extractions
- Final Material: 28 Zirconium Porcelain Dental Crowns
- Aesthetic Choice: Natural Style / 1M1
- Total Investment: £11,663.00
The Initial Consultation: The Problem
When Akbar M. first arrived, his clinical “Before” photos and X-rays revealed a very complex situation:
- Multiple failing and decayed teeth.
- Severe misalignment and missing teeth.
- Significant bone loss in the upper jaw, requiring advanced planning.
The initial X-ray and 3D CBCT scans confirmed that a standard procedure would not be sufficient.
Initial OPG (X-ray): This scan shows the severe state of decay, fractured roots, and the unsuitability of the remaining teeth.
3D CBCT Planning Scan: This scan was essential for Dr. Özkaynak to assess the low bone density in the upper jaw and plan for a sinus lift.
A Phased Approach to a Dual All-on-8
A case of this complexity required a meticulous 3-visit plan to ensure proper healing and a perfect, long-lasting result.
Visit 1: Creating a Healthy Foundation
The first step was to remove all sources of infection and decay.
- 16 Tooth Extractions: Dr. Özkaynak performed 5 extractions on the upper jaw and 11 on the lower jaw.
- Temporary Dentures: The patient was fitted with temporary dentures to wear during the healing phase.
Healing Phase OPG (X-ray): This scan shows the patient after all 16 extractions, now ready for the surgical phase.
Visit 2: Advanced Surgical Placement
This was the most complex and critical phase of the treatment.
- Upper Jaw: Dr. Özkaynak performed a sinus lift and bone graft to rebuild the lost bone. He then placed 8 Neodent (Straumann Group) dental implants.
- Lower Jaw: The lower jaw had sufficient bone, so 8 Neodent (Straumann Group) dental implants were placed directly.
This “Dual All-on-8” system, with 16 total dental implants, provides the ultimate foundation for full mouth dental implants, ensuring maximum strength and stability.
Post-Surgical OPG (X-ray): All 16 Neodent dental implants are shown, 8 upper and 8 lower, after being surgically placed by Dr. Özkaynak.
Visit 3: The Final Smile With Zirconium Dental Crowns
After a final healing period for the dental implants to fuse with the bone, Akbar M. returned for his new smile.
- 28 Zirconium Porcelain Dental Crowns: Dr. Gültekinler took over the restorative phase. He designed two full-arch dental bridges (14 teeth per jaw) made from Zirconium Porcelain Dental Crowns. This is a premium, metal-free material known for its superior strength and natural aesthetics.
- Final Fit: The dental bridges were permanently secured to the 16 dental implants, completing the transformation.
Final OPG (X-ray): The final scan shows the two 14-unit Zirconium dental bridges securely attached to the 16 integrated dental implants.
The Result: A “Natural Style” Smile Built to Last
The final result is a “Natural Style / 1M1” smile, which is both aesthetically beautiful and surgically engineered for maximum function and longevity.

A Note from Özkan Özkaynak, D.D.S., Ph.D.
“This case is a perfect example of our most advanced work. While All-on-6 is an excellent solution, Akbar M.’s case required the ultimate level of support.
By placing 8 dental implants in each jaw—a ‘Dual All-on-8’—we provide the strongest possible foundation for the new dental bridges. This is crucial for long-term success. We first had to rebuild his upper jaw with a sinus lift, which is an expert procedure, to make this possible. The result is a smile that is not only beautiful but is surgically built to last a lifetime.”
