1. What Is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a revolutionary full-arch implant technique that replaces an entire jaw of missing teeth using just four titanium implants. Two implants are placed vertically at the front of the jaw, and two are placed at an angle (up to 45°) at the back. This angled placement maximises contact with available bone and often eliminates the need for bone grafting — even in patients with significant bone loss.

A fixed prosthetic bridge of 10–14 teeth is then attached to these four implants, giving you a complete, non-removable set of teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. In many cases, a temporary bridge can be loaded on the same day as surgery, so you never leave the clinic without teeth.

2. All-on-4 vs All-on-6 vs All-on-8: Which Do You Need?

The number of implants used depends on your bone density, jaw structure, and the recommendation of your surgeon. Here is how the three options compare:

Factor	All-on-4	All-on-6	All-on-8
Implants per jaw	4	6	8
Bone requirement	Low — works with bone loss	Moderate	Moderate–High
Bone graft needed?	Usually no	Sometimes	Rarely
Load distribution	Good	Better	Maximum
Best for	Significant bone loss, budget-conscious	Healthy bone, extra stability	Maximum durability, younger patients
Fethiye price (per jaw)	From £2,500	From £3,500	From £5,000

🔑 Dentoper Recommendation: We generally prefer All-on-6 for patients with healthy bone, as the additional two implants provide superior long-term stability and load distribution. For patients with severe bone loss where grafting is best avoided, All-on-4 remains an excellent and proven solution. Your surgeon will recommend the optimal protocol after reviewing your 3D scan.

3. All-on-4 Cost in Fethiye vs the UK

Full-mouth implant treatment is one of the most expensive dental procedures in the UK. In Fethiye, you can receive the same treatment with the same implant brands at a fraction of the cost — making the total expense, even including flights and accommodation, significantly lower than treatment at home.

Treatment (Both Jaws)	Fethiye	UK	You Save
All-on-4 Full Mouth (8 implants + 2 bridges)	£5,000 – £10,000	£20,000 – £30,000	Up to 70%
All-on-6 Full Mouth (12 implants + 2 bridges)	£7,000 – £12,000	£24,000 – £36,000	Up to 70%
Zirconia upgrade (per bridge)	+£1,000 – £2,000	+£3,000 – £5,000	Up to 65%

5. The All-on-4 Process: Step by Step

Full-mouth implant treatment is completed over two visits, separated by a healing period of 3–6 months:

🛬 Visit 1 — Surgery (5–7 days in Fethiye)

Day 1 — Examination & 3D Planning

Full clinical examination, 3D CBCT scan, digital impressions. Your surgeon plans the exact implant positions using computer-guided surgical protocols.

Day 2 — Surgery & Same-Day Teeth

Remaining teeth extracted (if any). 4–8 implants placed under local anaesthesia. Temporary fixed bridge attached within hours. You walk out with a full set of teeth on the same day.

Day 3–5 — Recovery & Check-ups

Post-operative check-ups to monitor healing. Bite adjustment on temporary bridge if needed. Rest, recover, and enjoy Fethiye.

Day 6–7 — Final Check & Fly Home

Final examination. Detailed aftercare instructions. You fly home with your temporary teeth firmly in place.

⏳ Healing at Home: 3–6 Months

Osseointegration takes place. You continue normal life with your temporary bridge. Our team monitors progress via WhatsApp.

🛬 Visit 2 — Permanent Bridge (5–7 days in Fethiye)

Return to Fethiye for your permanent prosthetic bridge. Digital impressions are taken, the bridge is fabricated in the laboratory over 3–4 days, and the final fixed prosthesis is fitted and adjusted. You leave with your definitive, permanent smile — the bridge that will serve you for 15–25+ years.

6. Am I a Candidate for All-on-4?

All-on-4 was specifically designed for patients who have lost most or all teeth and may not have enough bone for conventional implants. You may be an ideal candidate if:

✅ You are missing all or most teeth in one or both jaws
✅ You wear full dentures that slip, cause discomfort, or limit what you eat
✅ You have been told you do not have enough bone for regular implants
✅ You want a permanent, non-removable solution
✅ You are looking for a faster, more cost-effective alternative to individual implants
✅ You are in generally good health

💡 Not sure? Send us your panoramic X-ray via WhatsApp. Our oral surgeon will assess your bone density and recommend whether All-on-4, All-on-6, or an alternative approach is best for your situation — completely free of charge.

7. Prosthetic Bridge Options: Acrylic vs Porcelain vs Zirconia

The material of your permanent bridge directly impacts aesthetics, durability, and cost. At Dentoper Fethiye, we offer three proven options:

Acrylic (PMMA)

Lightweight and affordable. Used as temporary bridge material and as an option for definitive prosthesis.

Lifespan: 5–8 years

Aesthetics: Good

Best for: Budget-conscious patients

Porcelain on Metal

Excellent aesthetics with natural translucency. Metal substructure provides strong support for the bridge.

Lifespan: 10–15 years

Aesthetics: Very good

Best for: Balanced quality and cost

⭐ Full Zirconia

Monolithic zirconia — the strongest and most durable option. Metal-free, stain-resistant, and biocompatible.

Lifespan: 20–25+ years

Aesthetics: Excellent

Best for: Long-term durability

8. Recovery & Aftercare

WEEK 1

Soft foods only — smoothies, soups, yoghurt, mashed potatoes. Mild swelling and bruising are normal. Take prescribed medications.

WEEK 2–4

Gradually introduce semi-soft foods — pasta, scrambled eggs, fish. Swelling subsides. Most patients return to work within 3–5 days.

MONTH 2–3

Resume normal eating with care. Avoid very hard foods. Osseointegration progresses. Maintain excellent oral hygiene.

MONTH 4–6

Osseointegration complete. Return to Fethiye for permanent bridge. Full diet resumed after final fitting.

9. All-on-4 vs Traditional Dentures

Factor	All-on-4 Implants	Traditional Dentures
Fixed or removable?	Permanently fixed	Removable
Stability	Rock-solid — no slipping	Can slip, requires adhesive
Eating ability	Eat anything — steak, apples, corn	Limited — soft foods mostly
Bone preservation	Stimulates bone — prevents loss	Bone continues to shrink
Maintenance	Brush like natural teeth	Remove, soak, reline periodically
Lifespan	Implants: lifetime \| Bridge: 15–25 years	5–10 years before replacement
Long-term cost	Lower per year over 20+ years	Repeated relines and replacements

12. Frequently Asked Questions

How much does All-on-4 cost in Fethiye?

All-on-4 for both jaws typically costs between £5,000 and £10,000 in Fethiye, depending on the implant brand and prosthetic material. The same treatment in the UK costs £20,000–£30,000. This represents savings of up to 70%, even after factoring in flights and accommodation.

Will I have teeth on the same day as surgery?

Yes. In the majority of All-on-4 cases, a temporary fixed bridge is loaded onto the implants within hours of surgery. You will never leave our clinic without teeth. These temporary teeth function well during the 3–6 month healing period before your permanent bridge is fitted.

How long does All-on-4 last?

The titanium implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. The prosthetic bridge typically lasts 15–25 years for zirconia and 10–15 years for porcelain-on-metal, after which it may need replacing. Regular check-ups and good hygiene are essential for long-term success.

Do I need bone grafting for All-on-4?

In most cases, no. The All-on-4 protocol was specifically designed to work with patients who have reduced bone density. The angled posterior implants bypass areas of bone loss, utilising the strongest parts of the jawbone. However, if a 3D scan reveals insufficient bone in all areas, your surgeon may recommend a graft or suggest All-on-6 as an alternative.

How many trips to Fethiye do I need?

Two trips. The first visit (5–7 days) covers examination, surgery, and same-day temporary teeth. After 3–6 months of healing at home, you return for a second visit (5–7 days) for your permanent bridge fitting.

Should I choose All-on-4 or All-on-6?

This depends on your bone density. All-on-4 is designed for patients with significant bone loss, as the angled implants can work with less bone. All-on-6 uses two additional implants for better load distribution and is recommended when bone density allows. At Dentoper, we generally prefer All-on-6 when feasible, as it provides superior long-term stability. Your surgeon will recommend the best option after reviewing your 3D scan.

Can I eat normally with All-on-4?

Once your permanent bridge is fitted and healing is complete, you can eat virtually anything — steak, apples, corn on the cob — foods that denture wearers can only dream of. During the healing period with temporary teeth, you should stick to softer foods to protect the implants during osseointegration.

Is All-on-4 surgery painful?

No. The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, and you will not feel pain during the procedure. Mild to moderate discomfort, swelling, and bruising after surgery are normal and typically last 3–5 days. Prescribed painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication manage this comfortably. Most patients are surprised at how manageable the recovery is.
