All-on-4 Dental Implants (Full-Arch Fixed Teeth) in Turkey
What is All-on-4?
All-on-4 is a method to replace all the teeth in one jaw using four dental implants and a fixed bridge. Two implants are placed at the front where bone is often stronger.
Two are set further back at a carefully planned angle to make the best use of available bone. This design often avoids major bone grafting, shortens treatment time, and gives you fixed teeth fast.
Best for: Replacing a full upper or lower arch of missing or failing teeth with fixed teeth supported by four implants
Surgery: 2–4 hours per arch; provisional fixed teeth same day or next day in many cases; full treatment usually 3–6 months
The Problem it Solves
If you have many missing or loose teeth, repeated infections, or dentures that move and rub, daily life can feel hard. Eating is limited, speech may change, and confidence can suffer. All-on-4 gives you secure, fixed teeth that do not come out, helping you speak, smile, and eat with far more ease.
How All-on-4 works
The four implants act like strong anchors in the jaw. A full-arch bridge (a row of linked teeth) is attached to those anchors. In many cases, a temporary fixed bridge is fitted the same day or the next day (“immediate loading”), so you walk out with fixed teeth, not a removable denture. After the implants fuse with the bone (osseointegration), we make your final bridge, tuned for fit, bite, and looks.
Who is a good candidate?
All-on-4 suits people who:
Have many failing teeth, very loose teeth, or no teeth in a jaw
Want fixed teeth rather than a removable denture
Have limited bone but still enough for four well-planned implants
Can keep good oral hygiene and attend reviews
We check your medical history, gums, and bone levels with scans. If bone or gum conditions need care first, we’ll plan that in.
The Steps…
Step 1:
Consultation & 3D Planning
We take photos, X-rays and a CBCT scan if needed. We plan the exact implant positions and decide on tooth shape, shade, and smile line. You receive a clear written plan, timing, and costs.
Step 2:
Treatment Day
You’re made numb and comfortable (sedation may be available). We remove any failing teeth, prepare the implant sites, and place four implants in the planned positions and angles. We take measurements or a digital scan for your provisional fixed bridge.
Step 3:
Provisional Fixed Teeth
In many cases you receive a same-day or next-day fixed bridge. It is lighter and designed to protect the implants while they heal. You leave with fixed teeth you can smile with right away.
Step 4:
Healing & checks (8–12 weeks, sometimes longer)
The implants fuse with your bone. You follow a soft-food diet at first and clean carefully under the bridge. We review your bite and comfort.
Step 5:
Final Bridge
Once the implants are stable, we take final scans to make your definitive bridge. This has the agreed tooth shape and shade, strong materials, and a fit tailored to your bite.
Step 6:
Maintenance & Reviews
We show you easy cleaning methods and book you for regular hygiene and check-ups to keep everything healthy long-term.
Before & After Photos
Materials and design
Bridges can be made from high-strength acrylic, hybrid options (acrylic on a metal frame), or ceramic/zirconia depending on your bite, habits, and goals. We discuss looks, strength, weight, cost, and repair options so you can choose what suits you.
Comfort and healing
During surgery you are numb. After, expect tenderness and swelling for a few days; this settles. Simple pain relief, cool packs, and rest help. We give a soft-food guide and cleaning advice. Most people manage daily tasks the next day, taking it easy while healing.
Why some cases still need grafting
All-on-4 often avoids large grafts, but not every time. If bone is very thin, small grafts or sinus lifts may still be needed. We will tell you this upfront after scans, so your plan stays safe and honest.
Risks and limits (and how we reduce them)
All surgery has small risks: infection, delayed healing, gum irritation, or an implant that does not fuse. Bites need careful adjustment to spread the load across four implants. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and poor cleaning increase risks. We reduce problems with digital planning, clean technique, clear aftercare, regular reviews, and by using named, traceable components.
Results & longevity
With good care, All-on-4 can deliver stable, natural-looking smiles for many years. Bridges may need maintenance over time (repairs, relines, or replacement parts) due to normal wear, diet, or grinding. Night guards help protect your new teeth if you clench.
Daily life with All-on-4
Your teeth are fixed — they do not come out. You can eat more foods than with loose dentures, though very hard items should still be avoided. Speech often feels clearer once you adapt. Cleaning is simple once you learn the routine.
Cleaning & maintenance (made easy)
Brush twice daily around the bridge and gums with a soft brush
Use super-floss, interdental brushes, or a water flosser under the bridge
Attend hygiene visits and clinical reviews as advised
Wear a night guard if you grind or clench
Keep gums healthy and do not smoke
All-on-4 vs alternatives
All-on-6: Six implants for more support in some mouths; useful where bite forces are high or bone allows it.
Implant overdenture: Removable denture that clips onto implants. Lower cost; still removable.
Traditional full denture: No implants. Lowest cost; can move and reduce bite strength.
We will compare fit, feel, cost, and maintenance so you choose with confidence.
Your Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4
Do I really get fixed teeth on the day?
In many cases yes — a provisional fixed bridge is fitted same day or next day. Final teeth come after healing.
Is All-on-4 painful?
You are numb during surgery. Mild soreness and swelling after is normal and settles with simple care
Why four implants, not more?
The angled design makes strong use of available bone. Four implants can secure a full arch in suitable cases.
What if I do not have enough bone?
All-on-4 can reduce the need for big grafts, but if bone is very thin we may add small grafts. We’ll show you this on your scan.
Can I choose how my new teeth look?
Yes. We discuss shape, size, and shade and show options. Your final bridge is made to match your smile goals.
What can I eat after surgery?
Start with soft foods. As healing progresses and your clinician confirms, you can expand your diet. Avoid very hard or sticky items.
How do I clean under the bridge?
Use super-floss, interdental brushes, or a water flosser daily. We’ll show you the easiest method for your mouth.
How long does All-on-4 last?
With good hygiene and regular reviews, implants can last many years. Bridges may need maintenance or replacement parts over time.
Will I sound different when I speak?
Some people notice minor changes at first. Most adapt quickly and feel clearer than with loose dentures.
Is All-on-4 better than dentures?
For many people yes, because the teeth are fixed and feel more secure. We will still explain all pros and cons for you.
What about All-on-6?
All-on-6 uses six implants and may be advised for higher bite forces or where bone allows. We compare both options for your case.
Can smokers have All-on-4?
Smoking raises risks. We strongly advise stopping before and after surgery to help healing and long-term success.
Will I be without teeth at any stage?
No, not usually. We plan a temporary fixed bridge or another solution so you are never left without teeth.
How many visits are needed?
Typical plan: consultation & scans, surgery + provisional, healing reviews, final bridge fit. We’ll map your exact steps.
Is finance available?
If you need payment options, ask our team. We’ll outline safe, clear choices where available.
