All-on-4 Dental Implants

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a dental implant technique that replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants, providing a permanent fixed bridge that looks and functions like natural teeth—often completed in a single day.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Many Turkish clinics offer package deals for both upper and lower arches. If you need full mouth restoration, ask about dual-arch pricing for significant additional savings—often €3,000-€5,000 less than two separate procedures.

⚠️ Insider Note: The quality of your final bridge matters enormously. Premium zirconia bridges cost more but offer superior aesthetics and durability (15-20 years) compared to acrylic alternatives (5-8 years). Budget for the best bridge you can afford—it's the visible part of your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do All-on-4 implants last?

With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last 20+ years or a lifetime. The titanium implants integrate with bone permanently. The bridge may need replacement every 10-15 years depending on material.

Am I a candidate for All-on-4?

Most patients with tooth loss are candidates. Even those with bone loss can often proceed without grafting due to the angled implant technique that maximizes existing bone.

Is the procedure painful?

The procedure is performed under sedation or general anesthesia—you feel nothing during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is mild to moderate—rated 4-5/10—and well-controlled with prescribed medication.

Can I eat normally with All-on-4?

Yes, once fully healed you can eat most foods normally including steak and apples. The fixed bridge provides 80-90% of natural chewing function—far superior to dentures.

What's the difference between All-on-4 and dentures?

All-on-4 is permanently fixed in your mouth, doesn't require removal, and won't slip. Dentures are removable and may require adhesives. All-on-4 feels like natural teeth and doesn't cover your palate.

How many trips to Turkey do I need?

Two trips typically: one for implant placement and temporary bridge (5-7 days stay) and one for final permanent bridge fitting (3-5 days stay) after 3-6 months of healing.

What implant brands are used?

Turkish clinics use premium brands like Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and Neodent—the same brands used by top clinics worldwide. Always confirm which brand your clinic uses before committing.

Why is All-on-4 cheaper in Turkey?

Lower operating costs and high surgical volume—not lower quality. Same premium implant brands with experienced prosthodontists. Turkey is a global leader in dental tourism with world-class facilities.
