What All-on-4 is

All-on-4 replaces a full arch of teeth with a fixed bridge held by four implants. The two front implants go in straight; the two back implants are angled, which lets them use the strongest remaining bone and often avoids the need for a bone graft. All-on-6 works the same way with six implants.

Unlike a denture, the bridge is fixed in place. You don’t take it out at night, and it doesn’t move when you eat or speak.

Who All-on-4 suits

  • People with most or all teeth in an arch missing or failing
  • Denture wearers who want fixed teeth they don't take out
  • People with some bone loss who want to avoid extensive grafting
  • Non-smokers, or people willing to stop around surgery, with good general health

With severe bone loss in the upper jaw, regular implants may not be possible at all. In that case, zygomatic implants can be an alternative.

All-on-4 cost per arch: UK vs Turkey

  • All-on-4, per arch

    UK£8,000–£25,000
    Turkey£2,500–£6,000~75% less
  • All-on-6, per arch

    UK£14,000–£20,000
    Turkey£3,500–£6,500~70% less
  • Full mouth, both arches

    UK£15,000–£40,000+
    Turkey£4,700–£12,600

Typical published ranges, October 2026. UK prices are private dentist fees. Savings compare the middle of each range. Turkey prices are clinic “from” prices and may not include grafting or extractions. Your quote will.

Check that every quote includes the extractions, implants, temporary bridge, final bridge, CT scans, sedation, hotel and transfers. A low headline price often means an acrylic final bridge, a budget implant system, or extras charged separately.

Acrylic vs zirconia: the choice that changes the price

Acrylic bridge

  • Lower cost
  • Lighter, and easier to adjust or repair
  • Wears and stains faster
  • Often needs replacing or relining after 5–10 years

Zirconia bridge

  • Higher cost
  • Very strong and stain-resistant
  • More natural-looking surface
  • Usually lasts longer, but harder to repair if chipped

Trips and timeline

Trip 1

About 7–10 days

CT scan, extractions, implant surgery and a fixed temporary bridge.

Trip 2

About 5–7 days

3–6 months later: the final acrylic or zirconia bridge.

Between trips you’ll be on a softer diet while the implants heal. Plan time off work for the first week after surgery, when swelling is at its worst.

Living with All-on-4

  • Clean under the bridge daily with a water flosser or special brushes
  • See a hygienist every 3–6 months; the bridge may be removed periodically for a deep clean
  • Bring home your implant details so a UK dentist can maintain it
  • Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth

Questions to ask any clinic

  • Who will do my surgery, and how many full-arch cases do they do each year?
  • All-on-4 or All-on-6 for me, and why?
  • Which implant brand, and is the final bridge acrylic or zirconia?
  • Will I have fixed temporary teeth before I fly home?
  • Is sedation or general anaesthetic included?
  • What's the warranty on the implants and on the bridge?
  • What happens, and who pays, if an implant fails?
