What Factors Affect All-on-4 Prices in Turkey?

Please note that the figures shown are estimates and can vary significantly. Other factors that can affect the cost of your treatment include:

• Varying costs for materials; for example, titanium vs zirconia implants; or an acrylic vs zirconia bridge. 
• Implant brands/systems used: several well-known systems are available at our partner clinics, as well as lesser-known more affordable brands. The choice of implant system may depend on factors such as the patient's specific needs, and the dentist's preference and experience.
• The number of implants and arches you are looking to restore, dual arch or one (upper and/or lower).
• Bone grafting may be necessary before inserting an implant, which is a surgical procedure performed to restore bone volume and density in the jaw that has previously experienced bone loss due to long-term denture use or being toothless for an extended time.
• The expertise and reputation of the dentist, and the geographical location of the clinic can drive up the cost. Typically, you can expect to pay more at a dental clinic located in the centre of town or a popular tourist area.

Explore Antalya in Turkey's southern Mediterranean region to see its well-preserved ancient Roman harbour and Yivli Minaret Mosque (also known as the Alaaddin Mosque).

Why Is Dental Care Cheaper in Turkey?

Turkey’s cost of operating a business is much less when compared to countries in Europe, the UK/US due to the lower cost of living. This makes an all-on-4 treatment highly possible for those who can’t afford expensive treatment back home.  

Several factors contributing to the price difference are:

• The operating cost of a dental clinic, including rent, payroll, insurance and utilities, is much lower in Turkey.
• High competition helps drive down the cost of services. Turkey has seen a major influx of medical tourists in recent years for all types of medical treatment, including dental, thus keeping the prices at competitively low rates.
• The Turkish government is highly proactive in promoting medical tourism by offering subsidies and tax breaks for dentists and clinics geared towards servicing international patients. They are also planning to set up tax-free healthcare zones (VAT-free) for international medical tourists.

What Happens If Something Goes Wrong?

Our top partner dentists in Turkey usually guarantee their treatment and lab work, with 5-year, 10-year, and depending on how well you take care of your teeth, even lifetime warranties.

The all-on-X procedure allows dentists to replace an entire arch with a few dental implants. Similar to the All-on-4®, which is the Nobel Biocare trademarked name for the treatment, all-on-X is the generic term. The “X” indicates the number of implants, which can be four to eight per arch. 

What Are the Advantages of All-on-4 Implants?

The All-on-4 dental implant technique offers several advantages over traditional dentures or individual dental implants. Main advantages of All-on-4:

• Fewer surgical procedures are needed, resulting in faster treatment time when compared to getting individual dental implants.
• Restore dental function: With All-on-4, patients can generally eat any food they like thanks to improved biting and chewing capabilities compared to traditional dentures. The full arch bridge is securely attached to the implants, allowing for better bite force distribution when chewing, thus the patient can return to a normal diet.
• Improved smile: An All-on-4 full arch restoration is designed to look and feel like natural teeth - by customizing the shape, colour, and size to match the remaining teeth and facial structure - resulting in an aesthetically pleasing smile.
• Jawbone preservation: Dental implants act as tooth roots to stimulate and increase circulation to the jaw bone. This process helps prevent bone loss and preserve facial structure, which is especially beneficial for patients who have multiple tooth loss or have been wearing dentures for an extended time.

The suitability of All-on-4 depends on an individual's oral health condition. Only your dentist can determine if this technique is appropriate for you.

Full-Arch Restoration Providers

This full-arch rehabilitation technique is provided exclusively by Nobel Biocare®.

Other than Nobel Biocare®, a wide variety of well-established dental implant providers are approved by the American Dental Association and other professional bodies, including but limited to:

• Straumann® (Pro Arch)

• Astrotech® 

• Osstem Implants®

• BioHorizon® (TeethXpress)

• 3i USA®

• Zimmer®

• Bicon®

All-on-4 treatment usually requires two separate trips about four months apart. During this period the process of osseointegration takes place, which is the process of dental implants fusing with the jawbone before a permanently fixed prosthesis can be loaded.

However, a temporary hybrid denture can be loaded immediately after inserting the implant; allowing you to eat and speak normally during this healing period. 

First Trip:

1. Consultation: During this initial appointment, the dentist who specializes in implant surgery will evaluate the patient’s oral health and take several tests to determine suitability for the All-on-4 treatment. 

2. Fabricate custom-made hybrid denture: An impression of the mouth will be taken to process an immediate hybrid denture, which will then be attached during the surgical phase as a temporary prosthesis.

3. Surgery: Extractions are performed before implant surgery if there are any remaining teeth on the same arch. The surgical step begins with the placement of four or more dental implants into the jawbone. The implants are strategically placed throughout the jawbone to optimize stability and support for the final prosthesis. Finally, to complete the surgery, an immediate hybrid denture is then attached to the implants through abutments and screws.

Healing phase:

A healing period of three to four months is necessary for the implants to fuse with the jawbone. This integration ensures a strong foundation for the final prosthesis. During the healing phase, patients are advised to eat a soft food diet and follow a cleaning routine advised by the dentist.

Second Trip:

Final restoration: The patient returns to the clinic after four to six months for a minimally-invasive removal of the temporary bridge. The dentist will then take another impression of the mouth in order to process the final prosthesis. 

Once the final prosthesis is ready, it will be attached to replace the temporary bridge to provide the patient with fully functioning and aesthetically pleasing teeth. The dentist may make minor adjustments to ensure proper fit and comfort.

For those who are ineligible for All-on-4 treatment, Alternative restoration options are available for  patients seeking other treatment. The suitability of these treatments varies from person to person, depending on factors such as health of the jawbone and mouth and treatment goals.

• 3- on-6 Dental Implants: Similar to All-on-4, a 3-on-6 treatment is another permanent solution that includes six implants attached to three separate bridges per jaw (instead of one full fixed dental bridge like the All-on-4). The 3-on-6 bridges are less bulky as they are made without artificial gums.                                                                                                    
• Snap-on Dentures: Also known implant-supported overdenture– is a removable denture that is held in place by snapping onto the dental implants. Similar to traditional dentures, snap-on dentures are generally removed for cleaning and soaked overnight while you are asleep. It’s a more affordable alternative to All-on-4 treatment.                                         
• Traditional dentures: These are removable dental prosthetics worn to replace missing teeth. They can be used to replace a full arch or partially replacing one or a few teeth. Dentures need daily cleaning and soaking overnight as food can get stuck inside. They are more affordable than most other teeth replacement options.                                                            
• Bridge on implants: Unlike a traditional bridge, implants are used to provide support for the bridge so there’s no need to reduce the adjacent teeth. It’s best suited for those who are missing just a few teeth together in a row as this treatment usually involves two dental implants supporting a three-teeth bridge. 

Q: Will the All-on-4 look like natural teeth?

A: Yes. Our partner dentists are experts in designing a smile that matches the look of the patient’s face and the shape of the jaw. They will design the prosthesis based on impressions or a 3D scan of the patient’s mouth.

Q: How long do All-on-4 dental implants usually last?

A: All-on-4 dental implants can last up to a lifetime with proper care and regular maintenance. Worldwide studies over a 10-year period show that implants have a 90%–95% success rate. Yearly dental check-ups with your dentist and good oral hygiene practices can contribute immensely to the longevity of the implants.
