Full arch on four
Four implants, a fixed set of teeth
All-on-4 uses four implants per arch to support a complete set of fixed teeth. It is designed for patients who have lost most or all teeth in one jaw.
Two implants stand in the front; two are angled at the back to use denser bone. A temporary bridge is often fitted the same week. The final ceramic or hybrid arch comes after healing at home.
01
Angled posterior implants
Tilted towards denser bone so grafting can often be avoided. The angle is a planning choice, not a slogan.
02
Same-week teeth
A fixed temporary is common when primary stability allows. Chewing is still gentle.
03
Final arch later
After osseointegration the laboratory makes the lasting prosthesis. That is visit two.
Typical stay
7–10 days for surgery and a fixed temporary bridge
Visits
Two visits: immediate teeth, then the final prosthesis after healing
Caring for your result
Swelling typically settles in a few days; a soft diet is advised while healing
Suitability
Significant or full tooth loss in one jaw, seeking a fixed arch
What we coordinate
Full-arch planning, four implants per arch, same-day temporary bridge where suitable
Compared with
All-on-4 is not the only full-arch plan
Bone, bite force and which jaw decide four versus six. The scan, not the brochure, chooses.
01
All-on-4
Four implants per jaw. Useful when bone in the back is limited and grafting is better avoided.
02
All-on-6
Six implants share the load: often preferred in the upper jaw or a heavy bite.
03
Denture
Removable. Faster to make, less stable, and the bone under it still recedes.
The Process
Surgery week, then healing at home
A 7–10 day first stay is typical. The bone is not ‘finished’ in those days.
- 01
Full-mouth assessment and planning
- 02
Placement of four implants per arch
- 03
Fitting of a fixed temporary bridge
- 04
Final prosthesis after healing
Two visits for a full arch
Immediate teeth if stability allows; the final teeth after months of fusion.
Visit 1
Place four, fit a temporary
3D plan, surgery, a fixed temporary when indicated, VIP transfer, rest days in the hotel.
At home
Fusion
Several months. Soft then firmer diet as advised. We stay in the loop with the dental team.
Visit 2
The lasting arch
Try-in, bite, and the final prosthesis. Shorter stay than week one.
Options
All-on-4, All-on-6 or a denture
More implants are not automatically better. They share load when bone and bite ask for it.
| Option | Implants / arch | Same-week teeth | Grafting | Feel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All-on-4 | 4 | Often, if stable | Often avoided | Fixed |
| All-on-6 | 6 | Often, if stable | Case by case | Fixed, more spread load |
| Denture | None | Yes, removable | None | Taken out at night |
Typical ranges, not a promise. Individual results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Eating on a new arch
The temporary is for living, not for steak.
First week
Usually fine: Cool, soft, small bites
Avoid: Biting the temporary as if it were final
Healing months
Usually fine: Softer everyday food as advised
Avoid: Hard nuts, ice, opening packets with teeth
After the final arch
Usually fine: Towards a normal diet
Avoid: Ignoring a night guard if you clench
Do
- Clean under the bridge as shown: a water flosser is often part of the kit
- Keep the review appointments at home
- Tell us if a temporary screw feels loose
Don’t
- Smoke through healing if you can stop
- Skip the second visit ‘because the temporary looks fine’
- Use the new teeth as tools
Professional cleaning, nightly hygiene routines and scheduled reviews help maintain the restoration.
Global material standards
Certified, original systems on your treatment plan
Every implant and ceramic brand to be used is named on your written outline. Before you travel, you know which recognised materials are planned.
The pieces
What you are looking at
Tap a part to keep it in focus. The explanation stays on the page. Nothing essential is hover-only.
Fixed bridge: One prosthesis for the arch, screwed or cemented to the fixtures, not sixteen unrelated crowns.
Who it is for
Typical patterns, not a diagnosis. Imaging and the dental team write the real plan.
Who it is for
- Most or all teeth missing in one jaw, seeking a fixed arch rather than a removable denture.
- Able to stay 7–10 days for surgery and a fixed temporary, then return for the final prosthesis.
When we pause
- A single missing tooth. Full-arch on four or six implants is the wrong scale.
- Unwilling to accept a temporary bridge and a healing interval before the final teeth.
A typical stay
Days 1–2
Imaging and consent
3D where indicated, photographs, a written plan you can sleep on.
Day 3
Surgery and teeth
Four or six implants and, where suitable, a fixed temporary the same day.
Days 4–8
Settle, then fly
Reviews, hygiene instruction, a coordinator on the other end of a message.
Months later
The final arch
After integration, the laboratory arch is tried in and fitted.
The first 48 hours
- Swelling and bruising are expected; they typically peak around day two.
- A fixed temporary is for speaking and soft chewing, not steak.
- Sleep elevated. Follow the rinse and medication sheet exactly.
Honest limits
Same-day teeth means a well-made temporary, not the final ceramic. Anyone who sells the opposite is selling a brochure.
Bone volume, bite force and medical history decide four versus six implants, not a package name.
Named on the plan
The fixtures
Named systems on the plan. Unnamed “premium implant” is not a specification.
The bridge
A temporary you can live with, then a laboratory arch in zirconium or the ceramic agreed in writing.
Ask before you book
- 01Will I leave with a fixed temporary, or a removable one, and why?
- 02How many implants per arch, and which brand, will be written on the plan?
The visit
Before, in the chair, and after
Sequences vary. Your written plan names the order for your mouth, not a catalogue.
Before
Before you fly
A full-arch plan is never a catalogue package. Photos, history and a scan if you have one go to the team so four implants per arch can be confirmed, or declined, in writing.
During
Surgical stay
Often a week-class stay: remaining teeth as planned, four fixtures, a fixed temporary where suitable. Rest days are part of the brief, not leftover tourism.
After
Final teeth later
The definitive prosthesis usually waits for healing at home. A second stay fits and adjusts it. Soft diet instructions travel with you.
Planning
What shapes this plan
None of these replace a clinical assessment. They are the questions the dental team actually uses.
- 01
Whether four fixtures per arch can be placed in available bone: often with posterior implants angled to miss the sinus or nerve
- 02
Gum health, remaining teeth that may need extraction, and bite force
- 03
Whether a fixed temporary bridge is realistic on the same stay
- 04
Medical clearance for a longer surgical visit
- 05
Who will maintain the prosthesis at home. Hygiene under a full arch is a skill, not an accessory
Treatment planning before you travel
A full-arch plan is never a catalogue package. Photos, history and, where possible, a scan go to the dental team so bone, bite and whether four implants per arch are even indicated can be discussed in writing first.
What you can expect
Surgery and a fixed temporary bridge are often completed in one stay. The final prosthesis comes after healing at home. Soft diet, rest days and a quieter hotel are part of the brief, not extras.
A typical stay in Antalya
Plan on roughly a week in Antalya for the surgical visit, then a later stay for the final teeth. Your outline names the days. Flights stay yours to book.
Dental travel
Planning this treatment in Antalya
You arrange the flight. Trip4Smile coordinates the plan, VIP transfer, stay support and follow-up around the dental team’s work.
01
File first
Photographs of both arches, a list of remaining teeth, medical history. All-on-4 is confirmed or replaced by another protocol in writing.
02
A week-shaped stay
Plan rest, a quieter hotel, and soft food. You book the flight; we map appointments and VIP transfer around them.
03
Surgery and temporary
The live scan can still change the sketch. A fixed provisional, where suitable, is part of leaving the city able to speak and eat softly.
04
Second stay
After healing at home, the final prosthesis. The same coordinator stays on the message thread.
Treatment FAQ
Will I get teeth on the same day?
A fixed temporary bridge is often fitted on the day of surgery, so you leave with teeth. The final prosthesis comes after healing.
How does All-on-4 differ from single implants?
It restores a whole arch using just four implants, suited to patients who have lost most or all teeth in one jaw.
Is it removable?
No. The bridge is fixed and only removed by a dentist for maintenance.
How do I clean it?
Daily brushing and special floss around the implants, plus regular professional cleaning.
What does All-on-4 mean?
A full-arch prosthesis supported by four implants in one jaw. It is a protocol, not a brand, and it is indicated only after imaging.
Why are some implants tilted?
Tilting can use available bone and avoid the sinus or nerve. It is not done for appearance. If bone allows upright fixtures, that may be chosen instead.
Is All-on-4 better than All-on-6?
Neither is universally better. Six fixtures may be discussed when bite force or bone distribution asks for more support. The scan decides, not a package name.
Will I leave with teeth?
Many patients receive a fixed temporary in the surgical stay when the case allows. It is for function and dignity, not the final ceramic.
How do I clean under a full arch?
Specific brushes, floss threaders or a water flosser as prescribed. Poor hygiene under the prosthesis is a common reason work fails later. You will leave with a method, not a slogan.
Can both jaws be done together?
Sometimes. It lengthens the visit and the recovery. The team writes whether one arch or both is safer for your health and bone.
Who performs the dental treatment?
Licensed dental professionals at partner clinics in Antalya. Trip4Smile coordinates planning, VIP transfer and follow-up. We are not the treating clinic.
Can international patients receive this treatment?
Yes. We coordinate for patients who fly in. Photos and history come first; a written plan is sent before you book a ticket.
How is my treatment planned before I travel?
You share smile photos, any recent X-rays and your goals. The dental team reviews the file. You receive stages, a typical stay and what is not included.
How long should I stay in Antalya?
It depends on the case. For All-on-4 / All-on-6, a typical stay is 7–10 days for surgery and a fixed temporary bridge. Your written plan names the days for your situation.
What happens after treatment?
You leave with written aftercare. The same coordinator stays reachable once you are home. Your local dentist can use the summary we send.
