Tooth loss can significantly affect both your health and self-confidence. For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, the All-on-4 dental implant system offers a natural-looking, stable and long-lasting solution. If you are looking for advanced tooth replacement options in Türkiye or abroad, this guide will explain what All-on-4 is, how it works and why it is a popular choice among patients from the UK, Europe and the US.
In recent years, oral and dental health has become an important element that directly affects the quality of life of individuals, and this has played a decisive role in dentists' prosthetic planning. In this context, treatment approaches that eliminate aesthetic concerns, provide functional success and increase patient satisfaction are becoming more prominent. Dental implants, one of the methods developed to eliminate the negative effects of missing teeth in terms of chewing, speaking, tasting, pain and aesthetics, are widely used today.
However, in patients who are completely edentulous or are expected to be completely edentulous in a short time, classical implant treatments are not always preferred due to long treatment processes and high costs. At this point, All-on-4 and All-on-6 treatment concepts stand out by offering less invasive approaches in terms of both surgery and prosthesis. In particular, All-on-4 treatment eliminates the need for advanced surgical procedures such as sinus lifting and bone grafting in individuals with no teeth and allows for the application of a fixed full jaw prosthesis on the same day on 4 implants placed at appropriate angles. Thanks to both the shortness of treatment time and rapid aesthetic and functional gains, it provides significant benefits to patients in areas such as speech, chewing, taste, aesthetic appearance and self-confidence. In this respect, the All-on-4 treatment concept stands out as a modern and effective prosthetic solution that increases patient satisfaction.
Treatments performed with the All-on-4 technique offer fast and effective results in terms of both functionality and aesthetics, especially for patients who are completely edentulous or are expected to lose their teeth in a short time. Thanks to this technique, the treatment process is much shorter than traditional implant methods, and patients can continue their daily lives without interruption by receiving their temporary fixed prostheses on the same day.
Implants placed at correct angles and in a measured manner usually receive support from areas with higher bone density. In this way, important anatomical structures such as the sinus cavity and nerve channels are protected and treatment can be completed without the need for advanced surgical procedures. In addition, the small number of implants applied provides an economic advantage by reducing the cost. All-on-4 treatment is a reliable method with long-term clinical follow-ups of up to 10 years in the lower jaw and up to 5 years in the upper jaw.
This treatment, which has a very high success rate, also contributes to preventing the jaw bone from melting over time. Patients do not experience any difficulty in eating and speaking thanks to the temporary fixed dentures that are placed on the day the implant is applied, which provides a comfortable recovery process. The sense of security provided by fixed dentures is a great advantage, especially for individuals who have problems with the use of removable dentures. In addition, the improvement in aesthetic appearance increases people's self-confidence and reflects positively on their social lives. Concerns such as the prosthesis moving during speech or feeling uncomfortable while eating are eliminated, which makes All-on-4 treatment both practical and permanent.
A detailed clinical examination is definitely required before starting All-on-4 treatment. With this examination, the patient's general oral and dental health is evaluated, whether they are suitable for treatment is determined, and any teeth that need to be extracted are determined. In addition, anatomical elements such as jaw bone structure, density, and sinus areas are examined in detail with radiological imaging methods. If there are teeth that need to be extracted, this procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Immediately after tooth extraction, implants are placed in accordance with the determined positions. These implants are the same as titanium-based implants used in classical implant treatments and their reliability has been scientifically proven.
After the implants are placed, temporary fixed prostheses are prepared and placed by taking measurements from the implants in the same session. In this way, the patient is prevented from becoming toothless during the treatment period and social and functional losses are prevented. This aspect of the treatment makes the All-on-4 system quite comfortable and attractive for patients. With temporary prostheses, the implants are expected to fully integrate with the jawbone for a certain period of time - usually 3 to 6 months. During this process, patients can use their prostheses comfortably by following a carefully determined diet program. After the successful integration of the implants with the bone is completed, permanent fixed prostheses specially prepared for the patient and designed for long-term use are placed. Thus, the patient has a structure very close to natural teeth in terms of both aesthetics and function and continues his life in a healthy way.

The timeline for the dental implant process varies depending on individual cases. Typically, it can take several months from start to finish, including surgery, healing, and the placement of the final restoration.
The surgery itself is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation, so most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Post-operative pain can be managed with prescribed medications.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular check-ups with your dentist and good oral hygiene are essential for long-term success.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants needed, the type of restoration, and other factors. Your dentist can provide you with a detailed estimate.
After the initial healing period, you can eat normally. During recovery, you may need to follow a soft food diet for a few days or weeks.
