All-on-4 dental implants in Turkey, with a fixed bridge fitted the same day
All-on-4 replaces a full arch of missing or failing teeth with four implants supporting one fixed bridge, often avoiding the bone grafting that single implants can need — it cannot help a jaw with too little bone to anchor even four implants safely. At JFS Clinic in Izmir, Turkey, your package starts from £4,300.

Am I a candidate?
Who is a good candidate for All-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 suits you if you are missing most or all of your teeth in one jaw, or if a loose, slipping denture no longer lets you eat comfortably — it fixes a full arch of teeth onto just four implants, in one stable bridge, usually within a single 8-day visit.
Tooth and bone loss, why a denture alone does not solve it
Once a tooth is lost, the bone that used to support its root starts to resorb, because nothing is left to stimulate it during chewing. A denture rests on top of the gum and does nothing to slow this process, so the jaw keeps losing height and width underneath it year after year — part of why an older denture gradually fits worse than it used to. Implants work differently: anchored directly in the bone and carrying a share of the bite force, they help keep the surrounding bone stimulated for as long as they stay in place.
Signs All-on-4 dental implants may suit you
- You are missing most or all of your teeth in one jaw, or your remaining teeth are failing beyond repair.
- You wear a full or partial denture that slips, rubs or limits what you can comfortably eat.
- A scan shows enough bone at the front of the jaw to angle two implants toward the back, without needing a graft first.
- You are in good general health, with no uncontrolled diabetes or condition that would slow healing around an implant.
- You are a non-smoker, or able to stop around your surgery — smoking is one of the clearest risk factors for implant failure.
| All-on-4 | All-on-6 | |
|---|---|---|
| Implants placed | 4, two straight and two angled | 6, spread across the arch |
| Bone usually needed | Works even with reduced bone at the back of the jaw | More remaining bone, for extra anchor points |
| Typical candidate | Significant bone loss, wants fixed teeth fastest | More bone left, wants extra chewing support |
| Time to final bridge | About 3–4 months after surgery | About 4–6 months after surgery |
| Chewing strength | Strong, suits most diets once healed | Slightly higher margin for heavy biting |
What to discuss at your All-on-4 consultation
- Whether your jawbone, seen on your scan, supports four implants or whether six would give a more even bite.
- Whether the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both need treating during the same visit.
- What your temporary fixed bridge will look and feel like on the day of surgery.
- The material and shade of your final bridge, once your implants have healed.
- Your full medical history, including diabetes, bone conditions and any medication affecting healing.
This is general guidance, not a diagnosis. Your dentist makes the final decision after reviewing your scan and health history.
Not every full-arch plan is the same
Types of All-on-4 treatment, fixed bridge options
All-on-4 uses two straight implants at the front of the jaw and two angled implants at the back, four in total, to support one fixed bridge — the exact angle and position are set from your bone volume and bite on Day 2, not chosen in advance.
- 1Two straight implants at the front
- 2Two implants angled at the back
- 3Temporary bridge attached the same day
- 4Final bridge fitted after healing
How All-on-4 implants are placed
| Option | Best for | Bridge material | Healing before final bridge |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-on-4Most common | Reduced back-jaw bone, wants fixed teeth the fastest way | Acrylic temporary; zirconia or acrylic final bridge | About 3–4 months |
| All-on-6 | More remaining bone, wants extra chewing support | Acrylic temporary; zirconia or acrylic final bridge | About 4–6 months |
| All-on-4 with a bone graft | Very limited bone, even at the front of the jaw | Same as standard All-on-4, graft placed first | About 6–9 months, graft heals first |
| Full-mouth individual implants | Wants each tooth on its own implant rather than a joined bridge | Individual crowns, not a joined bridge | About 4–6 months per arch |
| All-on-4, upper and lower jaw together | Missing most or all teeth in both jaws | Separate upper and lower bridges | About 3–4 months, both arches together |
Bone volume, seen on your scan, decides which plan is realistic — your dentist marks the exact implant positions with you before surgery.
All-on-4 vs All-on-6, how your dentist decides
The choice starts with a panoramic X-ray and usually a 3D (CBCT) scan, which shows your dentist exactly how much bone is left at the back of each jaw, where it is most often lost after missing teeth sit untreated for years. If that back section is thin, All-on-4 solves the problem by angling the rear two implants forward into denser bone further along the jaw, which is also why it can often avoid a bone graft that a straight-implant plan would otherwise need.
Bite force is the second factor. Four implants carry the whole arch between them, which works well for most patients but leaves less margin if someone has a heavy bite or grinds their teeth at night. All-on-6 spreads the same load across six anchor points, which is why it is often suggested for patients with more bone left who want the extra support, or who have lost teeth more recently and kept a thicker jaw.
Cost and time play a role too, but only once the bone and bite questions are settled — your dentist will not recommend fewer implants than your jaw needs just to shorten the plan. A straightforward All-on-4 case, with enough bone and a normal bite, is usually the simplest and quickest route to a fixed, full-arch smile; a case needing a graft or extra support moves toward All-on-6 or a staged plan instead.
Teeth in a day, how your temporary bridge is fitted
"Teeth in a day" refers to the temporary fixed bridge attached to your implants on the same day as surgery, so you do not leave the clinic without teeth while the implants heal underneath. It is screwed onto the four implants rather than cemented, made from a lighter acrylic than your final bridge, and built to a slightly simplified bite so it does not overload the implants while they are still fusing with the bone. This same-day step is what sets All-on-4 apart from full-mouth individual implants, where each tooth usually needs its own healing period before a crown can be attached, and it is why All-on-4 is often chosen specifically for how quickly it restores a visible, functioning smile.
All-on-6 follows a similar same-day principle when bone allows it, but the extra implants and the longer healing window before the final bridge mean the temporary stage is sometimes held in place for a little longer. Either way, the temporary bridge is not your final result: your dentist checks implant stability at your second trip, usually three to four months later, before the final bridge — in your chosen material and shade — replaces it for good.

What can delay your All-on-4 date
Being able to travel within a week does not mean surgery should go ahead the moment you land. A few things decide your safest date, and your dentist checks each of them before implants are placed. If your scan or the Day 2 consultation shows that waiting, or adding a step such as a graft, would be safer, the date moves. Your safety comes before the booking.
| Factor | Why it matters | What usually happens |
|---|---|---|
| Smoking or nicotine | Nicotine narrows blood vessels and slows healing around an implant | You are asked to stop for several weeks before and after surgery |
| Uncontrolled diabetes | High blood sugar slows healing and raises infection risk around an implant | Your dentist asks for recent blood sugar readings before confirming surgery |
| Active gum disease | Infected gums can spread bacteria to the implant site | Treatment for gum disease usually comes first, which can add a visit |
| Low bone density at the implant site | Implants need enough bone to anchor securely from day one | Your dentist may add a bone graft, which extends the overall timeline |
| Blood thinners and some supplements | They can increase bleeding during and after implant surgery | Your dentist tells you what to pause and when. Never stop prescribed medication without your own doctor's advice |
If you live in the UK, NHS dental implants are funded only in narrow circumstances, such as tooth loss from an accident, cancer treatment or a condition affecting the jaw — ordinary tooth loss is not usually covered, so most people compare private clinics at home and abroad. Wherever you go, ask three things before you book: how soon you can be seen, what happens if your scan shows you need a graft, and who looks after you once you are home.

What changes the price: treating both jaws in one visit, needing a bone graft, and the final bridge material (acrylic versus zirconia). A single-arch case with enough bone can cost less; a graft or a higher-grade bridge usually costs more. Your final price is confirmed after your dentist reviews your scan and Day 2 notes.
The surgery
How All-on-4 dental implants are done, step by step
All-on-4 surgery takes about three hours from the first anaesthetic to your temporary bridge being screwed in — here is what actually happens at each step on surgery day.
Your All-on-4 surgery takes place under local anaesthesia, usually with sedation to keep you relaxed through the appointment. Before the first incision, your dentist checks the implant positions marked from your scan against your actual bone at the surgery, confirming exactly where the two front implants and the two angled back implants will sit.
The gum is then opened to expose the jawbone, and a guided sequence of drills gradually widens a precise channel for each implant, sized to match the implant being placed. The two back implants are angled forward, toward denser bone further along the jaw, which is the detail that lets All-on-4 work even where the bone directly under a back tooth has thinned.
Inside the surgery

- 2Four implants placed into the jawboneTwo straight at the front, two angled at the back.
- 3Temporary bridge attached the same dayScrewed onto the implants, not cemented in place.
- 4Bite checked and adjustedFit and bite refined before you leave the chair.
All-on-4 implant placement
Once all four implants are seated at the planned depth and angle, your dentist checks each one's stability by hand before moving to the next step — an implant that does not feel firm at this stage may be repositioned or, rarely, left to heal before a bridge is attached. With stability confirmed, small connector pieces called abutments are fitted onto the implants, and these are what the temporary bridge will screw onto directly.
Your temporary fixed bridge, shaped from impressions and measurements taken earlier in the visit, is then screwed onto the four abutments rather than cemented, which lets your dentist remove it easily at a later check-up if an adjustment is needed. It is built from a lighter acrylic than your eventual final bridge and to a slightly simplified bite, both choices designed to protect the implants from excess load while they are still fusing with the bone underneath — a process called osseointegration.
Throughout the appointment your dentist monitors bleeding, swelling and how you are tolerating the sedation, adjusting the pace between the four implant sites as needed. A straightforward single-arch case typically takes around three hours from first incision to a fitted temporary bridge; treating both jaws in the same visit, or adding a bone graft at one of the sites, takes longer simply because there is more surgical ground to cover.
Once the temporary bridge is screwed in and your bite has been checked, you are given a soft-food plan and any prescribed rinses before you are discharged to recover at your hotel the same day — All-on-4 does not usually require an overnight stay, unlike surgery involving a general anaesthetic.
Recovery, day by day
All-on-4 recovery time, week by week
Most swelling settles within the first week, and your implants need about three to four months to fuse with the bone before your final bridge is fitted. Move the slider to any point after surgery to see how most patients feel, what they can do and what to avoid.
Recovery from All-on-4 happens in two phases, separated by a gap of months rather than weeks. The first phase, over the week after surgery, is about swelling and tenderness settling while the gum closes around the new abutments. The second, much longer phase is osseointegration — the slow process, not something you can feel day to day, where bone actually fuses to the implant surface, which is what has to happen before a heavier, final bridge can safely be attached.
The soft-food plan matters more than most patients expect: biting into anything hard or chewy too early can rock an implant before it has fused, which is why your dentist is specific about what to eat and for how long. Mild tenderness around the gum and some sensitivity to hot or cold are both common in the first couple of weeks and settle on their own as healing continues.
Typical timeline for a standard All-on-4 case. Your dentist may give you a different plan, especially if a bone graft or both jaws are involved.
| Activity | Week 1 | Week 2 | Weeks 3–4 | Month 3 | Month 4+ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eating | Liquids and very soft food only | Soft foods, widening gradually | Fairly normal diet, still careful | Normal diet with the temporary bridge | Normal diet with the final bridge |
| Speaking | Slightly different with the new bridge | Sounds becoming more natural | Close to normal for most patients | Normal | Normal |
| Work | Desk work possible from day 2–3 | Full days comfortable for most | No restriction | No restriction | No restriction |
| Flying | Day 7–8, after your check-up | Confirmed by your surgeon at your check-up | Set by your surgeon after your check-up | Cleared by your surgeon as you heal | Second trip, as scheduled |
| Smoking | Avoid completely | Avoid completely | Avoid where possible | Avoid where possible | As advised by your dentist |
| Bridge | Temporary, soft-food bite | Temporary, widening diet | Temporary, near-normal diet | Temporary, awaiting check | Final bridge fitted |
Typical timeline for a standard All-on-4 case, built from the recovery guidance above. Cells marked "Confirmed by your surgeon at your check-up" vary too much by individual healing to generalise — ask at your consultation.
Our aim for you
Our aim is simple: that you fly home happy with your new smile and with how you were looked after, from your first message to your last check-up.
What to expect
All-on-4 results and how long your bridge lasts
You leave the clinic on surgery day, about three hours after your anaesthetic starts, with a full, fixed arch of teeth, so the visible change is immediate rather than gradual. What continues to develop behind the scenes is osseointegration — the implants slowly fusing with the jawbone over the following months — which is why the bridge you travel home with is a temporary one and not the final result.
The implants themselves, once successfully integrated, are designed to function for many years with regular check-ups and good oral hygiene. The bridge attached to them is a separate, replaceable part: a well cared-for final bridge typically lasts somewhere around ten to fifteen years before it needs relining or replacing, depending on the material chosen and how it is looked after day to day.
Results vary from patient to patient. Your dentist will tell you what is realistic for your bite at the consultation.

Questions
All-on-4 dental implants in Turkey, frequently asked questions
How much do All-on-4 dental implants cost in Turkey?
At JFS Clinic, an All-on-4 package is listed from £4,300 (€4,950 / $5,850) for one jaw and includes your implant surgery, your temporary fixed bridge, hotel accommodation and all transfers. Treating both jaws, needing a bone graft, or choosing a higher-grade final bridge material changes the price; your dentist confirms the final figure after reviewing your scan.
See all package prices →What is the downside of All-on-4 dental implants?
With only four implants carrying the whole bite, each one takes more load than it would in a six-implant plan, and if a single implant fails the bridge above it is affected. The temporary bridge fitted on surgery day is not your final one, so you return for a second, shorter trip once your implants have healed, usually around three to four months later. Your dentist tells you whether All-on-4 or All-on-6 is the better fit for your bone and bite at the consultation.
What should I check before booking All-on-4 abroad?
Check three things that are specific to All-on-4. First, ask how the two back implants will be angled and how often your dentist places angled implants, since they hold the bridge where the jaw bone is thinnest. Second, ask for a panoramic X-ray and a 3D scan before surgery, so your bone height is measured rather than estimated. Third, ask what the temporary bridge is made of, usually a lighter acrylic, and how many months you wear it before the final bridge. At JFS Clinic your scan and a face-to-face consultation on Day 2 confirm the plan before any implant is placed.
Which country is the cheapest to get All-on-4 dental implants?
No single country is reliably the cheapest, since prices shift with the implant brand, the final bridge material and the exchange rate. Turkey has a large number of clinics offering All-on-4 to international patients, which is part of why it is widely compared on price — but the dentist's training and the clinic's licence matter more than the lowest quote.
How soon can I have All-on-4 dental implants in Turkey?
Most JFS patients are in Izmir for their first All-on-4 visit within about a week of their first message. You send two photos of your smile and, if you have one, a recent X-ray; your coordinator comes back with a personal plan and the dates your dentist has free. The exact date is confirmed only after your scan and the Day 2 consultation, and it moves if your dentist decides waiting would be safer.
From first message to surgery →Does the NHS fund All-on-4 for a full arch?
Rarely. NHS-funded implants are limited to narrow cases, such as tooth loss from an accident, cancer treatment or a condition affecting the jaw, and a full arch replaced after ordinary tooth loss is not usually covered. Most people needing a full arch compare private All-on-4 plans by dentist, clinic and total cost. For the rules on a single missing tooth, see dental implants.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how painful is All-on-4 treatment?
You are under local anaesthesia, sometimes with sedation, so you should not feel pain during the surgery itself. Afterwards, most patients describe the jaw as sore and swollen for a few days, similar to having several teeth removed at once, easing step by step as the swelling goes down. Pain relief is provided, and how it feels varies from person to person.
What's the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
All-on-4 fixes a full arch of teeth onto four implants, two straight at the front and two angled at the back, which often works even with reduced bone and avoids a graft. All-on-6 uses six implants, spreading the bite over more anchor points for patients with more bone left who want extra chewing support. Your dentist decides between them from your scan. If your scan shows more bone, see All-on-6; to compare every full-arch option, see full mouth implants.
How long does an All-on-4 bridge last?
The implants themselves, once successfully integrated with the jawbone, are designed to last for many years with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups. The bridge fixed onto them is a separate part and typically needs replacing or relining after roughly ten to fifteen years of normal wear, depending on the material chosen and how it is looked after.
When can I fly home after All-on-4 surgery?
After your dentist's final check-up, usually on day 7 or 8 of your first trip. Stick to the soft-food plan you are given, avoid smoking and keep any prescribed rinses going as instructed.
How soon will I see my final result?
Your temporary fixed bridge is attached the same day as surgery, so you leave Turkey with a full smile. The final bridge, in your chosen material and shade, is fitted on a shorter second trip once your implants have fused with the bone, usually around three to four months later. Results vary from patient to patient. Your dentist will tell you what is realistic for your bite at the consultation.
