Strong foundation, lasting results
All on 4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 dental implants offer a revolutionary approach to full-mouth restoration by using only four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth. This technique is ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth or suffer from advanced bone loss. Unlike traditional implants that require 6 to 8 implants per jaw, All-on-4 relies on two vertical implants in the front and two angled implants at the back, providing strong support even in areas with low bone density. As a result, it eliminates the need for bone grafting in many cases, making it a faster and more cost-effective treatment option.
How Does the All-on-4 Technique Work?
The procedure begins with a detailed 3D scan and digital planning to determine the ideal implant placement. On the day of surgery, the dentist places four implants into the jawbone under local anaesthesia or sedation. Two implants are placed straight at the front of the jaw, and two are inserted at a 30–45° angle at the back to maximise contact with the bone. A temporary full-arch prosthesis is often attached the same day, allowing the patient to leave the clinic with a functional and natural-looking smile. After 3–6 months of healing and osseointegration, the permanent fixed prosthesis is placed.
Benefits of Choosing All-on-4 Over Traditional Implants
All-on-4 dental implants offer several clinical and lifestyle benefits:
Immediate Function: Many patients receive a temporary prosthesis on the same day as surgery.
Fewer Implants Needed: Only four implants are used per arch, reducing surgical time and cost.
Bone Graft Avoidance: Angled implants minimise the need for grafting procedures.
Faster Recovery: With a minimally invasive protocol, healing is typically quicker than with traditional methods.
Long-Term Stability: When maintained properly, All-on-4 can last for decades and greatly improve quality of life.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for All-on-4?
This solution is most suitable for edentulous patients or those with severely damaged teeth who want to avoid removable dentures. People who have experienced bone loss and may not qualify for conventional implants without grafting can benefit greatly. Candidates must have generally good health and commit to good oral hygiene. Smokers and individuals with uncontrolled diabetes may require additional evaluation. A consultation with a dental implant specialist is essential to assess suitability and customise a treatment plan.

Before & After
Have questions? Get answers.
All-on-4 uses just four implants per arch, often avoiding bone grafts and enabling same-day teeth, unlike traditional systems that need more implants and longer healing.
Most patients experience minimal pain, as the procedure is performed under anaesthesia and uses minimally invasive techniques. Post-operative discomfort is usually manageable with over-the-counter medication.
The surgery typically takes 2–3 hours per arch, and many patients receive a temporary prosthesis on the same day.
Patients start with a soft diet for a few weeks, then gradually return to normal eating habits after the permanent prosthesis is placed.
With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last 15–25 years or longer. The prosthesis may need replacement or maintenance over time.
No, All-on-4 implants support a fixed, non-removable prosthesis that functions like natural teeth.
Prices are significantly lower than in the UK or USA. Costs in Turkey start from around €3,000–€5,000 per arch, depending on the clinic and material.
