Pearl

MyDentalFly’s dental consultant

One thing that catches people out: full-arch treatment isn't one appointment. The implants have to fuse to the bone before your final teeth go on, so it's usually a first visit, a healing period of a few months, and a second visit. Anyone promising it all in a week is describing the temporary set, not the finished result.

Where are you up to?

Quality Comparison

FactorTurkeyUnited Kingdom
Implant systems usedNobel Biocare All-on-4 (original protocol), Straumann Pro Arch, MIS, Osstem. Clinics stock multiple brands to match clinical requirements.Nobel Biocare All-on-4, Straumann Pro Arch. UK practices typically offer one or two systems. Higher per-unit cost limits brand options for budget-conscious patients.
Surgical experienceHigh-volume implant centres perform 20-50+ All-on-4 procedures per month. Dedicated surgical suites with 3D-guided implant planning as standard.Lower procedure volumes — most UK implant practices perform 2-5 All-on-4 cases monthly. Experienced specialists exist but are concentrated in major cities.
Prosthetic workflowIn-house dental laboratories with CAD/CAM milling. Same-day temporary bridge fitted immediately after surgery. Permanent zirconia or acrylic bridge on return visit.Labs often external, extending turnaround. Temporary bridge may require a separate appointment. Full workflow typically spans 3-6 months with multiple visits.
Treatment timelinePatients leave with fixed temporary teeth the same day. Return visit for permanent prosthesis after 3-6 months. Total of two trips, each 5-7 days.Multiple appointments over 4-8 months. More convenient for follow-ups but treatment stretches longer. Some UK clinics offer same-day teeth options.

Our Verdict

For All-on-4 treatment, the cost difference between Turkey and the UK is substantial — typically £8,000-12,000 per arch. For patients needing both arches, the savings can exceed £20,000. Turkish clinics that specialise in full-arch implant work often have more experience than the average UK practice simply due to higher procedure volumes. The main trade-off is the need for two trips to Turkey, but for savings of this magnitude, most patients find the travel worthwhile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does All-on-4 cost in Turkey vs the UK?

All-on-4 costs £4,000-6,500 per arch in Turkey versus £12,000-18,000 in the UK. With premium implant brands (Nobel Biocare), Turkey prices are £5,500-7,500 versus £15,000-20,000+ in the UK. For both arches, total UK cost can exceed £30,000 while Turkey typically ranges from £8,000-13,000. These prices include the implants, temporary bridge, and all surgical fees.

Can I get permanent teeth in one trip to Turkey?

You will leave Turkey with fixed temporary teeth on the same day as surgery — these are functional and aesthetic. The permanent zirconia bridge requires a second trip after 3-6 months once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone. Some clinics offer accelerated protocols for permanent teeth in a single extended stay (2-3 weeks), but the standard two-trip approach is clinically safer and more predictable.

Is All-on-4 available on the NHS?

No. All-on-4 is not available on the NHS. Full-arch implant treatment is considered elective and must be funded privately in the UK. At £12,000-18,000 per arch, this puts the treatment beyond reach for many UK patients, which is the primary reason patients explore Turkey as an alternative.

What implant brands do Turkish clinics use for All-on-4?

Leading Turkish clinics use Nobel Biocare (the original All-on-4 protocol developer), Straumann Pro Arch, MIS, and Osstem. These are the same globally certified brands used in UK practices. MyDentalFly only lists clinics that provide full implant brand documentation and traceability, so you know exactly what is being placed.

How long do I need to stay in Turkey for All-on-4?

The first trip requires 5-7 days: consultation, 3D imaging, surgery with immediate temporary bridge, and follow-up appointments before departure. The second trip (3-6 months later) requires 3-5 days for permanent bridge fitting and final adjustments. Total time away from home is approximately 10-12 days across two trips.
