Full Arch Restoration

All on 4 Dental Implants

A revolutionary full-arch restoration that replaces an entire set of teeth using just four strategically placed implants — with same-day temporary teeth and no need for bone grafting in most cases.

All on 4 Dental Implants
01 — Overview

What is All on 4 Dental Implant Treatment?

All on 4 dental implants are a revolutionary full-arch restoration technique designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. Unlike traditional implants, which require one implant per missing tooth, the All on 4 system uses just four strategically placed implants to support a fixed full-arch prosthesis.

This method significantly reduces treatment time, cost, and the need for bone grafting. The angled placement of the rear implants maximises contact with available bone, providing excellent stability and support. Patients receive a temporary set of teeth on the same day of surgery, allowing them to smile and eat with confidence while waiting for their final prosthesis.

All on 4 in Turkey is especially popular among international patients due to its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and high success rates — transforming a failing denture or severely damaged teeth into a permanent, natural-looking smile.

02 — Candidacy

Who Is It Suitable For?

The All on 4 procedure is ideal for patients who:

  • Have lost all or most of their teeth in one or both jaws
  • Are seeking a fixed, long-term alternative to removable dentures
  • Have low bone density and want to avoid bone grafting
  • Are in generally good health, without severe periodontal disease
  • Are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene post-surgery
  • Do not have uncontrolled chronic conditions like diabetes
  • Are non-smokers or willing to stop smoking during the healing phase

Age is not a limiting factor — bone availability and overall health matter more than age. This treatment is especially beneficial for individuals looking to restore their smile, chewing ability, and facial aesthetics with a stable, fixed set of prosthetics.

03 — Types

Variations of All on 4 in Antalya

There are different variations depending on patient anatomy, material preference, and budget. Material selection and planning are typically done using digital imaging and 3D modelling for enhanced fit and accuracy.

Standard with Acrylic Teeth

A cost-effective option using a titanium implant base and an acrylic full-arch bridge. Lightweight and ideal for initial placement.

With Zirconia Teeth

A premium option offering maximum durability, aesthetics, and resistance to wear and staining. Often preferred for long-term results.

Immediate Load

For patients with good bone quality, a temporary fixed bridge is placed on the same day as surgery for faster function and esthetics.

04 — The Process

How It's Done in Antalya

The All on 4 procedure is typically completed in two main visits — surgical phase first, final prosthesis after osseointegration.

First Visit — Surgical Phase

  1. Initial Consultation & 3D Imaging A thorough clinical assessment including panoramic X-rays or a CBCT scan to evaluate bone structure.
  2. Treatment Planning Using digital software, a personalised surgical plan is created for implant positioning and prosthetic design.
  3. Implant Placement Four implants surgically placed under local anaesthesia or sedation — two vertically in the front, two angled in the back.
  4. Temporary Prosthesis A temporary full-arch acrylic bridge is attached the same day, allowing immediate function and aesthetics.
  5. Healing Period (3–6 Months) The jawbone fuses with the implants through osseointegration. Patients return home and follow aftercare instructions.
  6. Second Visit — Final Prosthesis Once healing is complete, the final custom-made prosthetic of acrylic, composite, or zirconia is placed.
05 — Recovery

Recovery Timeline & Aftercare

The recovery period follows a structured healing timeline. After surgery, patients may experience swelling, mild discomfort, and minor bruising for the first 2–5 days — manageable with prescribed pain relievers and cold compresses.

First Few Weeks

  • Stick to a soft-food diet
  • Use prescribed pain relievers and cold compresses
  • Return to light daily activities within a few days
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol during healing

Long-Term Care

  • Maintain excellent oral hygiene daily
  • Attend all follow-up appointments
  • Use a water flosser or interdental brushes
  • Avoid teeth grinding and very hard foods

Osseointegration — where the implants fuse with the jawbone — typically takes 3 to 6 months. During this period, the temporary prosthesis provides basic function and aesthetics while the bone integrates with the implant posts.

06 — Advantages

Why Choose All on 4

All on 4 provides a range of benefits that make it a preferred solution over traditional dentures and multiple single implants.

01

Fewer Implants Required

Only four implants per arch — more affordable, less invasive, faster healing.

02

Same-Day Teeth

Leave the clinic with a functional, natural-looking smile on the day of surgery.

03

No Bone Grafting

Angled implant placement maximises existing bone contact — often eliminating grafts.

04

Fixed & Stable

Permanently fixed — no slipping, clicking, or use of adhesives like dentures.

05

Restored Facial Structure

The prosthesis supports facial volume, providing a more youthful appearance.

06

Confidence Restored

Eat, speak, and smile with full confidence — a complete quality-of-life upgrade.

07 — Comparison

All on 4 vs All on 6 Dental Implants

Both are full-arch restoration methods but differ in the number of implants used and clinical application.

All on 4

  • Four implants per arch — two vertical, two angled
  • More minimally invasive
  • More cost-effective
  • Suitable for patients with moderate bone loss
  • Faster surgery and recovery

All on 6

  • Six implants per arch for extra stability
  • Better load distribution
  • Recommended for higher chewing demands
  • Requires sufficient bone volume
  • Added structural support

The decision between the two depends on individual anatomy, goals, and dentist recommendation after a thorough diagnostic evaluation. Both techniques deliver excellent results.

08 — Pricing

Cost in Antalya, Turkey

The cost of All on 4 dental implants in Turkey varies depending on the type of prosthetic (acrylic vs. zirconia), implant brand, and whether additional treatments like tooth extractions or bone contouring are required.

Overall pricing remains 60–70% lower than in the UK or Germany, with no compromise on quality.

Our all-inclusive packages cover:

  • Initial consultation and 3D imaging
  • Surgical implant placement
  • Temporary and final prosthesis
  • Tooth extractions if needed
  • Hotel accommodation and airport transfers
  • Post-operative follow-up appointments

For the most accurate quote, a digital consultation or in-person assessment is essential. Investing in All on 4 in Antalya isn't just about saving money — it's about receiving world-class care in a welcoming, professional setting.

09 — Longevity

How Long Do All-on-4 Implants Last?

All-on-4 dental implants are designed as a long-term solution and can last 15 to 20 years or more with proper care. The titanium implant posts surgically anchored into the jawbone are highly durable and biocompatible — often lasting a lifetime.

The prosthetic bridge (the visible set of teeth) may need replacement or adjustment after 10–15 years due to normal wear.

Lifespan depends on:

  • Good oral hygiene practices (brushing, flossing, regular check-ups)
  • Avoiding habits like smoking or teeth grinding
  • Following post-treatment care instructions
  • Materials used (zirconia prostheses last longer than acrylic)

With routine dental maintenance and a healthy lifestyle, patients enjoy stable, comfortable, and fully functional All on 4 implants for many years — a smart, long-term investment.

10 — FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Once your final prosthesis is in place and healing is complete, you can enjoy a full range of foods just like with natural teeth. During the initial healing phase, a soft-food diet is recommended for a few weeks.

The procedure is typically completed in two phases: the first visit lasts 5–7 days for surgery and temporary teeth, and the second visit comes after 3–6 months for the final prosthesis. In some cases, immediate-load implants allow same-day teeth placement.

As with any surgical procedure, there is a small risk of infection — especially if aftercare instructions aren't followed. However, with proper oral hygiene and professional guidance, the risk is minimal and easily manageable.

All-on-4 dental implants have a high success rate of over 95% when placed and maintained properly. Factors like bone quality, oral hygiene, and avoiding smoking greatly influence long-term success.
