If you’re traveling to Turkey for a full-arch dental implant solution, the All-on-4 concept can be a life-changing option: a fixed, natural-looking smile supported by four implants per jaw (in many cases) with a streamlined timeline designed for international patients.
This page is educational and patient-focused. Final treatment plan and cost depend on CT scan (CBCT), bone quality, medical history, and your desired esthetic outcome.

- Efficient timeline: many cases can receive a fixed temporary bridge quickly after surgery.
- Value: Turkey is known for combining modern dentistry with more accessible pricing.
- All-in-one trip planning: consultation, imaging, surgery, and temporary teeth in one journey.
- Comfort & confidence: fixed teeth—no removable dentures for many patients.

What Is All-on-4?
All-on-4 is a full-arch implant technique where a complete set of fixed teeth is supported by four dental implants per jaw. Typically, the front implants are placed vertically, while the back implants may be angled to optimize bone use and increase stability—often helping reduce the need for extensive bone grafting in selected patients.
The goal is simple: replace an entire arch of missing or failing teeth with a stable, functional solution that looks natural and feels secure.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Patients with multiple missing teeth or failing teeth requiring full-arch rehabilitation
- Long-term denture wearers who want fixed teeth
- Patients with moderate bone loss (final decision after CBCT)
- International patients seeking a structured, trip-friendly plan
Who Might Need a Different Option?
- Very severe bone loss (may need zygomatic implants, pterygoid implants, or grafting)
- Complex medical conditions requiring customized planning
- Patients with heavy bruxism (night grinding) may benefit from more implants (All-on-6/8) depending on case
All-on-4 Turkey Timeline for International Patients
- Day 1: clinical exam + CBCT scan + final plan + impressions
- Day 2–3: surgery (extractions if needed) + implant placement
- Same day / next day: fixed temporary bridge in many cases (depends on primary stability)
- Recovery: 5–10 days typical stay for first visit
- Final teeth: usually after healing period (often 3–6 months) – second visit
Exact timing depends on bone density, implant stability, bite forces, and whether you need sinus lift / grafting.
What You Send Before You Fly
- Panoramic X-ray (OPG) or CBCT (if available)
- Photos: smile + front teeth + side view
- Medical history (diabetes, blood thinners, smoking, etc.)
- Your preferred trip dates + city of departure
All-on-4 vs All-on-6 vs All-on-8 (Which One Is Better?)
The “best” option depends on your bone quality, bite forces, esthetic goals, and long-term load distribution. Here’s a patient-friendly comparison:
| Feature | All-on-4 | All-on-6 | All-on-8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implants per arch | 4 | 6 | 8 |
| Stability & load distribution | High (for many cases) | Higher (often better load sharing) | Maximum load distribution |
| Ideal for | Many full-arch cases, moderate bone loss | Heavier bite / improved redundancy | Very high bite demands, long-span restorations |
| Bone requirement | Often optimized with angled posterior implants | Usually needs a bit more bone or strategic placement | Often requires more bone or advanced planning |
| Cost | Most cost-efficient full-arch fixed option | Higher than All-on-4 | Highest among the three |
| Bottom line | Best balance of efficiency and value for many | Great upgrade for force distribution | Premium for maximum support (case-dependent) |
In a real consultation, CBCT + bite analysis determine whether All-on-4 is sufficient or if All-on-6/8 is more predictable for your specific case.
Dental Implant Types & Brands in Turkey (What’s Best?)
“Implant type” can mean two things: the design/location (standard vs zygomatic, etc.) and the brand system (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, etc.). For full-arch cases, quality matters because implants carry continuous chewing forces.
1) Implant Designs Used in Full-Arch Cases
- Standard (conventional) implants: most common for All-on-4/6/8
- Short implants: can be considered in limited bone height (case-dependent)
- Zygomatic implants: for severe upper jaw bone loss (anchored in cheekbone)
- Pterygoid implants: posterior upper jaw anchorage option (advanced cases)
- Angled posterior implants: core concept in All-on-4 to maximize available bone
2) Popular Implant Brands You May Hear About
- Straumann (Swiss): premium reputation, strong clinical history
- Nobel Biocare (global): widely used, strong documentation
- Zimmer Biomet (US): established system, strong engineering
- Neodent (often positioned as value-premium): widely available
- Osstem / Dentium (Korea): common globally, often cost-effective
Which Is “Best”?
The best implant is the one that fits your anatomy and prosthetic plan, with strong long-term support, proven components availability, and a clinician who uses the system expertly. Premium systems (often Swiss/US and certain global brands) can be preferred for demanding full-arch cases, but many patients do very well with other reputable systems when treatment is planned correctly.
All-on-4 in Turkey – Approximate Prices (International Patient Guide)
Pricing varies based on: number of arches (upper/lower), implant brand, need for extractions, bone grafting/sinus lift, temporary bridge type, and final teeth material. Below are approximate ranges to help you plan.
| Package / Option | Approximate Range (USD) | What it typically includes |
|---|---|---|
| All-on-4 (Single Arch) | $3,500 – $7,500 | Consultation + CBCT + implants + surgery + fixed temporary in many cases |
| All-on-4 (Both Arches) | $7,000 – $15,000 | Upper + lower full-arch rehabilitation (case-dependent inclusions) |
| All-on-6 (Single Arch) | $4,500 – $9,500 | More implants for load distribution + prosthetic workflow |
| All-on-8 (Single Arch) | $6,000 – $12,000 | Higher implant count + advanced planning for heavier bite demands |
These ranges are educational estimates. A precise quote requires CBCT evaluation and prosthetic planning. For a fast estimate, message All-on-X Clinic on WhatsApp with your X-ray and goals.
Final Teeth Options (Materials) – What’s Best?
- PMMA (temporary): commonly used for the first fixed bridge during healing
- Zirconia full-arch: premium esthetics and strength, popular for final bridges
- Hybrid (titanium bar + acrylic/teeth): durable and repair-friendly in some cases
- Porcelain on zirconia / layered: high esthetics (case-dependent)
The “best” material depends on your bite, esthetic expectations, and maintenance preferences.
What Makes Results Look Natural?
- Smile design planning + facial proportions
- Correct bite (occlusion) and speech support
- Gum contour / pink esthetics when needed
- Proper midline, tooth length, and shade matching
Safety, Risks & Success Factors
All-on-4 has a strong track record when properly planned. Like any surgical procedure, risks exist. The biggest predictors of long-term success are planning, implant stability, bite management, and maintenance.
- Smoking: can increase implant complications—ask about a cessation plan
- Uncontrolled diabetes: affects healing (medical coordination is key)
- Bruxism: may require night guard and sometimes more implants
- Poor oral hygiene: can lead to peri-implant inflammation
FAQ – All-on-4 in Turkey
Can I get fixed teeth in one trip?
Many patients can receive a fixed temporary bridge shortly after implant placement (same day/next day), depending on implant stability and bite forces. Final teeth are usually delivered after healing, often in a second visit.
Is All-on-4 better than All-on-6?
Not universally. All-on-6 can provide additional load distribution and redundancy, which may be beneficial for stronger bite forces or certain bone conditions. CBCT + bite analysis decides the best option.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
With correct planning, quality components, and maintenance, implants can last many years. The prosthetic bridge may need adjustments or renewal over time depending on material and wear.
What if I have severe bone loss?
Advanced solutions like zygomatic implants, pterygoid implants, or grafting may be considered. Your CBCT scan determines feasibility and safest approach.
