All On 4 Dental Implant

All-on-4 Dental Implants in Alanya, Turkey | Fixed Teeth Same Day | Mercury Dent

Do you have teeth that can no longer be saved? Or have you been wearing a removable denture for years and are tired of the constant discomfort? Then you know just how much the state of your teeth affects every single day — what you can eat, how you speak, how confident you feel in company. All-on-4 is the method that solves this problem completely: just four implants, one operation — and you leave the clinic with a full set of fixed, permanent teeth.

Unlike All-on-6, which uses six implants and is designed for maximum load, All-on-4 offers the optimal balance between effectiveness, speed and cost. The method suits the vast majority of patients with complete or near-complete tooth loss and in most cases requires no prior bone grafting. At Mercury Dent Clinic in Alanya, we treat All-on-4 patients from the UK, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and across Europe to the very highest clinical standards.

What Is the All-on-4 Method?

All-on-4 is a proven full-arch reconstruction technology in which four titanium implants are placed in the jawbone at specific angles. Two anterior implants are positioned vertically, while two posterior implants are angled at 30–45 degrees. This placement makes it possible to utilise the available bone to its fullest and avoid areas where bone is often insufficient — particularly in the posterior upper jaw.

Thanks to the angled implants, the construction achieves a wide support base and high stability from day one. A temporary fixed prosthesis is attached to the implants on the same day as surgery. After 3–6 months, once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, the temporary prosthesis is replaced with a permanent restoration in zirconia or high-quality ceramic.

Who Is a Candidate for All-on-4?

Patients who have lost all teeth in one jaw
People with multiple teeth that cannot be saved
Removable denture wearers who want to switch to a fixed solution
Patients who have been told they need bone grafting — All-on-4 often makes it unnecessary
Those who want a fast result with minimal treatment time
Patients looking for a more cost-effective alternative to All-on-6

All-on-4 is not suitable for severe uncontrolled systemic conditions or extremely limited bone volume. In these cases we assess All-on-6 or preliminary bone augmentation — determined during diagnostics.

Advantages of All-on-4 at Mercury Dent

1. Fixed Teeth on the Day of Surgery

The greatest advantage of All-on-4 is speed of result. The temporary fixed prosthesis is fitted on the very same day as the four implants are placed. You arrive without teeth — and leave with a complete set. This is not a removable appliance but a fixed bridge anchored to the implants. By the following day you can eat soft foods and speak normally.

2. Usually No Bone Graft Required

All-on-4 revolutionised implantology because the angle of the posterior implants allows the available bone to be used where it is sufficient — bypassing areas of bone deficiency. In most cases sinus lifting and bone augmentation are not required, saving considerable time and cost.

3. Hybrid Prosthesis — Comfort and Hygiene

The All-on-4 prosthesis is a hybrid prosthesis: fixed for the patient, but removable by the dentist at regular check-ups. This provides maximum comfort in daily life while allowing professional cleaning beneath the prosthesis and thorough monitoring of implant health.

4. Fewer Surgical Procedures

Four implants instead of eight to fourteen means fundamentally less surgery — less physical stress, faster recovery and reduced risk of complications.

5. Outstanding Value for Money

All-on-4 is the cost-effective alternative to All-on-6, and for most patients the result is fully comparable. Fewer implants, less operating time, usually no additional procedures.

6. Long-Term Result

With proper care and regular dental visits, All-on-4 implants last for decades. The permanent zirconia or ceramic prosthesis maintains its aesthetics and function for 15–20 years and beyond.

All-on-4 vs. All-on-6 vs. Classic Implants

Feature	All-on-4	Classic Implants
Number of implants	4 implants	8–14 implants
Bone grafting	Usually not required	Often required
Treatment duration	Short	Long
Number of procedures	One	Several
Cost	More affordable	Significantly more expensive
Aesthetics	High	High
Longevity	Decades	Decades

Comparing All-on-4 with All-on-6: the key difference is implant count and load distribution. All-on-6 is recommended for higher bite forces or specific anatomical situations. All-on-4 is ideal for most patients and more cost-effective.

How long does treatment take? Are multiple trips required?

Two visits: First visit — diagnostics, surgery and temporary prosthesis (2–3 days). After 3–6 months, second visit for the final restoration (2–3 days). Total approximately 5–6 days in Alanya.

Is the surgery painful?

Under local anaesthesia you feel no pain during the procedure. Mild soreness and swelling for a few days afterwards are normal and easily managed with standard pain relief.

What can I eat right after surgery?

Soft diet for the first 2–4 weeks: soups, yoghurt, soft fish, well-cooked vegetables. Hard foods place excessive load on the implants during healing. Normal eating resumes after the final restoration.

Is bone grafting necessary?

In most cases, no. The angled posterior implants bypass areas of bone deficiency. The precise answer is given after the 3D diagnostic.

Is All-on-4 suitable for smokers?

Smoking significantly impairs healing. We recommend stopping smoking at least 2 weeks before and 2–3 months after surgery.

How long does the restoration last?

The implants are designed for lifetime use. The crowns may need renewing after 15–20 years — without new surgery.

What is the difference from a removable denture?

A removable denture rests on the gums and can slip. The All-on-4 prosthesis is anchored on implants — completely stable, cannot be removed by the patient and feels just like natural teeth.

Can both upper and lower jaws be treated at the same time?

Yes, both jaws can be treated in one procedure, shortening the overall treatment timeline.

What is a hybrid prosthesis?

A fixed construction on implants that the patient cannot remove, but the dentist detaches at check-up appointments for professional cleaning. Comfort and optimal hygiene in one solution.
