All-on-4 Dental Implants in Turkey
All-on-4 replaces a full arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed bridge anchored on just four implants — often with temporary teeth fitted the same day. Turkey leads this treatment because the per-arch cost is a fraction of Western Europe. Here is what it really costs, who it suits, and how the trip works.
From €1400 per arch
What All-on-4 actually is
Instead of one implant per missing tooth, All-on-4 uses four strategically angled implants to carry a full fixed arch — so even patients with significant bone loss can often avoid grafting and removable dentures. The result stays in the mouth, unlike a plate you take out at night.
All-on-4 cost in Turkey in 2026
At Tantalya, All-on-4 starts at €1400 per arch as a "from" price. The final figure depends on the number of implants, the bridge material (an immediate temporary, then a definitive zirconia bridge) and whether one or both arches are treated. You receive an itemised written plan after a CT review — never a vague headline number.
The same-day timeline
In most cases the four implants are placed and a fixed temporary bridge is fitted in a single appointment, so you leave the chair with teeth. The definitive zirconia bridge follows after the implants integrate — on a short second visit or shipped for local fitting — typically a few months later.
Who is a candidate
All-on-4 suits patients missing most or all teeth in an arch, or facing extraction of a failing dentition, who want a fixed rather than removable solution. Heavy smoking, uncontrolled diabetes and severe bone loss need individual assessment; we confirm suitability from your scan before you book travel.
Why 35 Ncm decides whether you get teeth the same day
Immediate loading works because the four implants are splinted together by the bridge and each one is tight enough in the bone to hold. The consensus threshold is an insertion torque of 35 Ncm or more per implant. Below it, screwing on a fixed bridge risks micro-movement and a lost fixture, so the surgeon uses a removable interim instead and the fixed teeth wait. Being told 'not today' is the plan working, not failing.
All-on-4 in Turkey — itemised (2026)
An All-on-4 quote has three parts that should never be blended: the four implants, the immediate fixed temporary, and the final zirconia bridge. Published 2026 figures in euro; sterling indicative at 0.86 £ per euro.
| Item (per arch) | Price (EUR) | ≈ £ (indicative) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Four implants — the All-on-4 fixtures | from €1,400 per arch | ≈ £1,200 | Turkish-origin certified system; two straight at the front, two tilted at the back; lot numbers in your implant passport |
| Premium Swiss / Straumann fixtures instead | up to about €1,500 per implant | ≈ £1,290 per implant | Where indicated or preferred; named in the plan |
| Immediate fixed temporary bridge | quoted per case after CBCT | — | Screwed to the implants the same day where bone quality allows; worn while they integrate |
| Final zirconia bridge | quoted on top, per case after CBCT | — | Milled in our in-house laboratory on the second trip; 5-year written guarantee |
| Zygomatic anchorage (severe upper bone loss) | separate surgical price, quoted per case | — | The alternative when the upper jaw cannot hold standard fixtures |
The 'from' price is the fixtures only, per arch. Ask any clinic whether its headline figure includes the final bridge — ours states the bridge as its own line.
What can be added to an All-on-4 plan
All-on-4 is designed to avoid grafting, but the CBCT sometimes says otherwise. These are the additions we see, priced the only honest way.
| Scenario | Price | Effect on staging |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction of remaining teeth | quoted per case after CBCT | Usually no extra trip; done immediately before placement |
| Bone graft or sinus lift | quoted per case after CBCT | Adds a healing stage, typically 4–6 months, before the fixtures |
| Interim removable denture (when insertion torque is too low for immediate loading) | quoted per case after CBCT | Fixed temporary deferred; final bridge timing usually unchanged |
| Repair of the temporary bridge | quoted per case after CBCT | In-house, or by your home dentist from our design file |
The All-on-4 trip — 4 nights, 5 days
The first trip places the implants and, where bone quality allows, fits the fixed temporary the same day. The final zirconia bridge follows on a second trip once the implants have integrated. Your surgeon sets the pace.
- Day 1 Arrival, CBCT, final plan
Transfer to Konyaaltı, CBCT, photographs and bite records. Bone quality is checked against the plan; plan and guarantee signed.
- Day 2 Surgery and same-day teeth
Extractions if needed, then four implants. If insertion torque reaches the consensus threshold of 35 Ncm or more, the in-house laboratory makes the fixed temporary and it is screwed in the same day, usually by the evening.
- Day 3 Rest and bite check
Swelling usually peaks around now. The temporary's bite is checked and adjusted; soft diet, cold compresses, prescribed medication.
- Day 4 Review and hygiene coaching
Healing check, sutures reviewed, cleaning under the bridge practised with the brushes and floss you take home.
- Day 5 Final check and fly home
Records pack, written protocol, transfer to the airport. Sutures out on day 7–10 at home or on a photo review.
- Second trip, typically month 4–6 Final zirconia bridge, about 5–7 days
Scan or impressions, framework try-in, bite and aesthetics approved, bridge fitted and torque-checked. Your surgeon confirms integration before this trip is booked.
If primary stability is not enough for immediate loading, a removable interim denture is used and the fixed teeth wait — safer than loading an implant that is not ready.
What the written guarantee covers
| Item | Duration | Covered | Not covered / voids |
|---|---|---|---|
| Implant fixtures (all four) | Manufacturer's lifetime guarantee, registered to you | Fixture failure under the manufacturer's terms | Smoking-related peri-implantitis is treated but is not a material failure |
| Final zirconia bridge | 5-year Tantalya written guarantee | Material failure — repaired or re-manufactured at Tantalya | Accidental trauma; untreated bruxism without the prescribed night guard; missed annual check-ups |
| E.max or zirconia crowns on the opposing arch | 5-year Tantalya written guarantee | Material failure | Periodontal neglect or hygiene instructions not followed; alteration by another dentist without prior written agreement |
| Immediate temporary bridge (acrylic / composite) | No long guarantee claim — repairable | Repairs quoted per case | As above |
Both guarantees are in your treatment file before surgery; travel for any remedy is the patient's.
If an implant or the bridge fails after you fly home
The most frequent complication in the All-on-4 consensus is the loss of a single implant, followed by peri-implant mucositis. Step one: photographs to your coordinator on WhatsApp. Step two: your treating surgeon reviews within the week and replies in writing.
Step three: a guarantee case — a fixture that has not integrated, or a bridge with a material fault — is re-treated at Tantalya at no treatment charge; travel is yours. Whether the bridge can stay on three implants while a replacement integrates is your surgeon's decision, case by case. Step four: urgent local care comes first if needed, with full records released the same day; third-party fees are not covered unless agreed in writing beforehand.
Living with a fixed bridge — the aftercare protocol
A full-arch bridge is easy to wear and easy to neglect. The written protocol handed over at departure covers the following.
- Soft diet while the implants integrate — typically the first weeks, your surgeon sets the timing — then a normal diet with the final bridge.
- Cleaning under the bridge every day with a water flosser or threader floss and interdental brushes; the technique is practised in the chair on Day 4.
- Night guard if prescribed: a full-arch bridge takes heavy force, and an unworn guard voids the guarantee.
- Annual digital check-up: photographs or a short video, or an intra-oral scan from a local dentist, reviewed and answered in writing by your treating dentist.
- Records pack: implant passport for all four fixtures, CBCT and X-rays, itemised invoice, treatment plan PDF — so a local dentist can remove and clean the bridge at the interval your dentist sets.

Tantalya is responsible for the clinical work and the written guarantee; the manufacturer for the fixtures under its warranty; you for hygiene, check-ups and the prescribed night guard. As a Ministry-authorised provider (ST-2095) the clinic is subject to Turkish patient-rights law and Ministry inspection, and disputes can be raised with the Ministry of Health's International Health Tourism unit.
For UK patients
The NHS does not fund implants, so a full-arch bridge is a private purchase wherever you have it done. For scale, a single private implant tooth in the UK is about €2,300–2,900 (≈ £1,980–2,490); the four All-on-4 fixtures at Tantalya start at €1,400 per arch (≈ £1,200), with the temporary and the final zirconia bridge quoted on top after the CBCT. Direct flights take about 4–4.5 hours.
Follow the General Dental Council's advice for treatment abroad and ask every clinic the same three things: a written, itemised plan; the name of the surgeon; and the aftercare path. Tantalya's answers: a plan and guarantee in English before you fly; dentists licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health and registered with the Turkish Dental Association; clinic authorisation ST-2095; CE/ISO certification; an ITI-member lead dentist; and a records pack so your UK dentist can maintain the bridge.
- NHS does not fund implants or cosmetic work; the GDC regulates UK dentists only
- Four fixtures from €1,400 per arch (≈ £1,200, rate indicative) · temporary and final bridge quoted on top, never hidden in the headline
- Two trips: 5 days, then about 5–7 days typically 4–6 months later
FAQ
How much does All-on-4 cost in Turkey?
At Tantalya, All-on-4 starts at €1400 per arch in 2026. The final price depends on implant count, bridge material and whether one or both arches are treated — all set out in a written plan after a CT review.
Do I get teeth the same day?
In most cases yes — four implants are placed and a fixed temporary bridge is fitted in one appointment. The definitive zirconia bridge is fitted after healing, usually a few months later.
How long do I stay in Turkey for All-on-4?
The surgical visit is typically 3–6 days. A short second visit (or local fitting) follows for the permanent bridge once the implants have integrated.
Is All-on-4 better than dentures?
All-on-4 is fixed — it does not come out, needs no adhesive, and restores far more bite force than a removable denture. Suitability is confirmed from your scan.
