How All-on-4 dental implants are placed, step by step

All-on-4 dental implants procedure, 3D illustration: four implants in the lower jaw and a fixed full-arch bridge

Illustration for explanation only. Your dentist plans the exact position and angle of each implant from your own 3D tomography.

In short

All-on-4 dental implants replace a full arch of teeth with one fixed bridge held by four implants. Two implants sit upright towards the front of the jaw, and two are angled at the back to make the most of the bone you have. The bridge is screwed onto the implants, so it does not come out like a denture.

Most people who ask us about All-on-4 are tired of a loose denture, or of repairing failing teeth one at a time. Implant treatment is usually planned in more than one visit, with a healing period at home in between. Your written plan states the days and visits you would need in Istanbul.

1 Before you travel · From home

A first answer before you book anything

Send a few photos of your teeth, or a panoramic X-ray if you have one, on WhatsApp or through the form. A dentist reviews them, and our international team replies in your language.

2 In Istanbul · Arrival and examination

We meet you, examine you and confirm the plan

Airport and hotel. We coordinate your airport transfer and your stay with partner hotels near the clinics, including the Sheraton Grand Istanbul Esenyurt and Days Inn by Wyndham Istanbul Esenyurt.
Examination at the clinic. Day one starts with your examination, a 3D tomography (CBCT) and a digital scan of your mouth.
The plan, in person. Your dentist goes through the images with you and confirms the plan, or explains any change and why. Treatment then follows the written plan you approve.
In your language. Our international department works in English, Arabic, French and Turkish.

3 In Istanbul · Implant day

Four implants, placed where your scan says

Local anaesthesia. The area is numbed, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Your dentist explains the anaesthesia options for your case beforehand.
Teeth that cannot be saved are removed. Then the four implants are placed at the planned positions and angles.
Temporary teeth. In many All-on-4 cases a fixed temporary bridge can be attached to the implants soon after surgery. Whether that is right for you depends on how firmly the implants sit in the bone. Your dentist tells you beforehand what to expect, and what the alternative is.
Before you fly. Your dentist checks your healing and your bite, and explains how to clean and what to eat while the implants heal.

4 At home · Healing

Healing while you get on with life

Over the following months the implants bond with the bone. Dentists call this osseointegration. You eat softer food at first and add firmer food step by step, as your dentist advises.

Your coordinator stays in touch, and your dentist is one message away if you have a question or want to send a photo.

5 In Istanbul · Your final bridge

Your final bridge

Check and digital scan. Your dentist checks the implants and takes a new digital scan for the final bridge.
Try-in. You see the shape and shade in your mouth before the bridge is finished.
Fitting. The final bridge is fixed in place, and your bite is checked carefully.
Cleaning routine. You are shown how to clean under the bridge at home.

6 Aftercare · Back home

Looking after your new teeth

Daily cleaning and regular check-ups keep implants healthy. Routine check-ups can be done with a dentist near your home.

After you fly home, your coordinator stays in touch and your dentist is one message away for questions and follow-up.

Step 2 / 5 · From home

Your written plan

You receive a written plan: whether All-on-4 looks right for your jaw or another option fits better, a price range, and the days and visits you would need in Istanbul, so you can book flights with confidence. The final plan is confirmed after your examination.

All-on-4 or an alternative, explained
Days and visits stated
Confirmed after examination

Often a good fit if …

You wear a denture you are unhappy with
Several teeth in the same jaw are failing
You have lost some bone at the back of the jaw
You want fixed teeth, not a removable plate
You can keep up daily cleaning and check-ups

Worth discussing first if …

Plenty of bone in the jaw → All-on-6 may spread the load over more implants
Severe bone loss in the upper jaw → zygomatic implants
Only a few missing teeth → single or multiple implants
Uncontrolled diabetes, active gum disease, heavy smoking or pregnancy → we talk about timing first

Not sure? Send us your X-ray or a few photos. A dentist will tell you whether All-on-4 makes sense for your mouth.

What you do

Keep to soft food while the implants heal

Avoid smoking, which slows healing

Contact us if …

Swelling keeps getting worse instead of settling, you have a fever, bleeding does not stop with gentle pressure, or a temporary tooth feels loose or cracks.

What it does not do

Implants do not get tooth decay, but the gum and bone around them can still become inflamed. That is why cleaning and check-ups matter for years.

Swelling and bruising

Common in the first days. It settles with rest, cold compresses and the medication your dentist prescribes.

Infection

Uncommon. Keeping the area clean and following your instructions lowers the risk.

An implant that does not bond

Occasionally an implant does not bond with the bone. Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes raise this risk.

A temporary tooth breaks

Temporary bridges are not as strong as the final one. Soft food during healing protects them.

Nerves and sinus

Rare. Planning from your 3D tomography keeps implants away from these structures.

Not reversible

Teeth removed for All-on-4 do not come back. That is why teeth with a realistic future are worth keeping.

What changes the price

One jaw or both, the implant system, the material of the final bridge, and any extractions or extra steps your case needs.

What to ask for in writing

Travel and stay

Only if your case needs it

Extra steps such as bone grafting are explained and written into your plan before treatment starts.

No price is final until a dentist has examined you. Your plan is confirmed after your examination, 3D tomography and digital scan in Istanbul.

Questions about All-on-4

The questions we hear most often. If yours is not here, ask us on WhatsApp.

Does All-on-4 hurt?

The implants are placed under local anaesthesia, so you should feel pressure rather than pain during the procedure. Soreness and swelling afterwards are normal in the first days, and your dentist prescribes medication for that.

Will I go home without teeth?

Your dentist plans this with you before surgery. In many All-on-4 cases a fixed temporary bridge is attached to the implants soon after they are placed. If your bone needs more time, your dentist explains the temporary option for your case. Ask us which applies to you before you decide.

All-on-4 vs All-on-6: which is right for me?

It depends on your bone. All-on-4 often avoids grafting when the back of the jaw is thin; All-on-6 spreads the load over more implants when there is enough bone. Your dentist recommends one after seeing your 3D tomography.

How much do All-on-4 dental implants cost in Istanbul, Turkey?

We do not publish fixed prices, because the cost depends on your jaw, the implant system and the bridge material. Send us an X-ray or photos and you receive a price range with your written plan, free and with no obligation. No price is final until a dentist has examined you.

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?

It depends on your case. Implant treatment is usually planned in more than one visit, with a healing period at home in between. Your written plan states the days and visits you would need, before you book flights.

How long do All-on-4 implants last?

Implants can last many years when they are cleaned well and checked regularly. Smoking, gum health and teeth grinding all affect how long they last. The bridge on top may need maintenance over time.

Is İkon Dental authorised to treat patients from abroad?

Yes. İkon holds the International Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health, for its Başakşehir and Hadımköy clinics. You can see the certificate on our international patients section.

What do I need to send for a first assessment?

A recent panoramic X-ray is ideal. If you do not have one, clear photos of your teeth and a short note about your dental history and general health are enough to start.

This page is general information and does not replace an examination by a dentist.
