All-on-4 is a full-arch implant concept in which a fixed dental restoration is supported by four implants in one jaw. It may be considered for people who have lost most or all of their teeth, have failing teeth that cannot predictably be restored, or want an alternative to removable dentures.
The key question is not simply whether four implants can be placed. Bone anatomy, gum health, bite, medical history and the condition of any remaining teeth must be assessed first.
How much does All-on-4 cost in Turkey?
Using the indicative range supplied for Turkey, full-arch All-on-4 / All-on-6 treatment is commonly seen around $3,000–$7,000 (£2,000–£5,500) per arch. This is a broad market range, not a fixed Dentares quote. The exact cost depends on diagnostics, extractions, implant system, temporary teeth, final bridge material and any additional surgery.
How does All-on-4 treatment work?
At Dentares Smile Clinic, treatment planning starts with examination and imaging such as a panoramic X-ray and CBCT. If teeth need to be removed, that can be coordinated with implant placement when clinically appropriate. Four implants are positioned to support a full-arch restoration.
In suitable cases a temporary fixed restoration may be provided during the first visit. Dentares describes a healing phase of roughly three to six months before the final zirconia bridge is fitted during the second visit.
What happens during the first and second visits?
First visit
- Clinical examination and 3D planning.
- Removal of non-restorable teeth if required.
- Placement of four implants per treated arch.
- Temporary teeth when clinical conditions allow.
- Aftercare instructions before returning home.
Second visit
- Check of healing and implant integration.
- Records for the final bridge.
- Smile, colour and bite checks.
- Final restoration and follow-up instructions.
What is recovery like?
Some swelling, tenderness, bruising or minor bleeding can occur during the first days after implant surgery. Your dentist will give individual medication, hygiene and food instructions. Soft foods are usually recommended during early healing, particularly while a temporary restoration is in place.
Smoking can interfere with wound healing and increase implant complications, so it is important to discuss smoking with your dental team before surgery.
What may be included in an All-on-4 package?
Depending on the individual quotation, packages may include diagnostic imaging, implant placement, abutments, temporary teeth, the final bridge, local anaesthesia, follow-up, accommodation and transfers between the airport, hotel and clinic. Ask for a written breakdown because details can vary.
Is All-on-4 right for everyone?
No. Some patients may benefit from six implants instead of four, a conventional implant bridge, staged grafting, or another restorative plan. The correct choice depends on available bone, implant distribution, bite forces and long-term maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
Do All-on-4 implants hurt?
The procedure is generally carried out with local anaesthesia. After surgery, temporary soreness and swelling are expected and are managed with personalised aftercare.
Can I get temporary teeth on the first visit?
Often yes, when implant stability and the surrounding tissues allow it. It is not guaranteed for every case.
How many trips are needed?
Dentares plans All-on-4 treatment in two visits for many patients, with a healing period between the surgical stage and final bridge.
