All-on-4 dental implants in Turkey — full guide for UK and Irish patients
All-on-4 replaces a full arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed bridge supported by just four precisely-placed implants per jaw. It is the most widely studied full-arch solution in modern implantology and, for most UK and Irish patients flying to Antalya, it is the route to fixed permanent teeth in a single surgical visit.
What All-on-4 actually solves
All-on-4 is designed for patients who have lost most or all of their upper or lower teeth, or whose remaining teeth are failing and not worth saving individually. Instead of restoring each tooth one by one, four implants are placed strategically along the arch — two at the front, two angled at the back — and a full bridge of replacement teeth is anchored on top. The angled placement at the back avoids the sinus cavities and low-volume bone zones, which is why All-on-4 works even when dental history has not been kind to your bone.
Why UK and Irish patients travel for All-on-4
A private All-on-4 on one jaw in the UK or Ireland typically sits between £12,000 and £15,000. A full upper and lower All-on-4 easily exceeds £25,000 privately. In Antalya that same treatment, using the same major implant brands (Straumann, Nobel Biocare) and the same protocols, is delivered for a fraction of the figure. The saving is not in surgical technique or material quality — it is in clinic overheads, in-house ceramist labs and the volume of UK patients already on the route.

How your treatment trip works
For most All-on-4 cases the journey is two trips. The first trip is 5–7 days in Antalya for any extractions, the four implant placements and a fixed temporary full-arch bridge. You fly home the same week, chewing on a temporary bridge. Over the next 3–6 months the implants integrate into your jawbone while you live your life normally. The second trip is 5–7 days to fit your final permanent bridge — either high-grade acrylic-titanium or full zirconia depending on your plan. Some patients are eligible for single-visit All-on-4 (immediate loading with the final bridge sooner); we only recommend it where clinically appropriate.
Materials, brands and the written guarantee
We use major European and international implant brands — Straumann and Nobel Biocare are the most common — with the specific brand confirmed in writing on your treatment plan. Final bridges are either high-grade acrylic-titanium or monolithic zirconia. Every All-on-4 case is issued with a written guarantee that covers the implant fixture long term and the prosthetic bridge for its defined cover period. Lifetime WhatsApp and email support continues after you fly home.

Frequently asked questions
- Is All-on-4 really permanent?
- The implants themselves are permanent and typically last 20 years to a lifetime with good care. The bridge fitted on top has its own lifespan of around 10–15 years of function before aesthetic replacement is considered.
- How painful is All-on-4 surgery?
- Surgery is performed under local anaesthesia with optional sedation. Most patients describe it as comparable to a routine extraction. Post-operative discomfort is managed with prescription pain relief for 2–3 days.
- How long does All-on-4 treatment take?
- Most UK and Irish patients complete treatment in two trips: 5–7 days for surgery with temporary teeth, then 5–7 days three to six months later for the final bridge. Some eligible cases are completed in a single trip.
- Can I fly home with temporary teeth?
- Yes. After All-on-4 surgery most patients fly home with a fixed temporary full-arch bridge that lets them eat soft foods straight away. You are never left without teeth.
- What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
- All-on-4 uses four implants per jaw and is ideal when bone volume is reduced. All-on-6 uses six implants per jaw for greater load distribution and is recommended when bone volume allows.
- Will I lose all my remaining teeth?
- Only teeth with no long-term future are removed as part of an All-on-4 plan. If any remaining teeth are healthy enough to keep, we design around them — we never extract teeth that can be saved simply to make a plan easier.
- How much does All-on-4 cost in Turkey compared with the UK?
- Private All-on-4 in the UK is typically £12,000–£15,000 per jaw. At Amazing Smile Turkey the same treatment is usually 50–70% less, fixed in writing after your remote consultation.
- Do I need a consultation in the UK first?
- No. We plan All-on-4 remotely using your photographs and a recent panoramic X-ray or CBCT scan. If an X-ray is not available, we can arrange one for you at a UK radiology centre.
- What implant brand do you use?
- We use Straumann, Nobel Biocare and other internationally recognised European brands. Your brand is confirmed in writing on your treatment plan and guarantee certificate.
- What is included in the UK patient package?
- Free remote consultation and written plan, airport pickup, partner-hotel accommodation, daily transfers, English-speaking patient coordinator, written implant and prosthetic guarantee, and lifetime WhatsApp aftercare.
