Two implants vertical at the front, two angled up to 45 degrees at the back. That tilt is the entire technique: it reaches dense bone in front of the sinus and usually avoids grafting, even for people told they had too little bone.
Two implants are placed vertically at the front and two angled up to 45 degrees at the back. The tilt lets the rear implants engage dense bone in front of the sinus, which extends the support span without grafting. That geometry is the entire point of the technique.
A fixed provisional bridge is attached within 24 to 72 hours, so you leave Istanbul eating on fixed teeth. The final bridge, usually monolithic zirconium, follows once the bone has integrated.
Good bone quality, an opposing arch that is a denture or natural teeth without heavy bite force, and no grinding. In that situation four implants distribute load safely and have twenty years of published follow-up behind them.
Patients who grind, who have a strong natural opposing bite, or who show soft bone on the CT scan. The extra two shorten the cantilever at the back, which is where a four-implant bridge is most stressed.
The provisional is not a smaller version of the final bridge. It is acrylic, it is slightly bulkier, and it is designed to be replaced.
The lower jaw is denser and generally more predictable. The upper jaw has softer bone and a sinus above the back teeth, which is exactly why the rear implants are tilted.
The practical consequence: an upper All-on-4 is more sensitive to bite force and to grinding, and it is the arch where we more often recommend six. If you are having both arches, they are not the same operation done twice.
A fixed arch is a long-term construction with maintenance built in. Over ten years the realistic costs are a professional clean every three to four months, occasional screw retightening, and eventually a replacement of the bridge material while the implants stay.
Compared with dentures, the differences most people report are in speech and taste: a fixed bridge does not cover the palate, so hot and cold register normally and the tongue is not learning around a plate. That is usually the reason people did not want a denture in the first place.
At Swedish Clinic a German-made dental implant in Istanbul starts from €299, and our current campaign is Buy 3, Pay 2. The same implant brand typically costs €1,500-€2,500 per tooth in Western Europe and the UK. Your free pre-consultation gives you an exact, all-inclusive quote with no hidden fees.
No, monolithic zirconium crowns in Istanbul start from €180 per tooth, roughly one fifth of UK and German prices. Zirconium is metal-free, does not create a grey gum line and is the material we recommend for most Hollywood Smile cases.
Treatment begins with a 3D CT scan and digital planning. Implants are placed by a specialist dentist under local anaesthesia in a single session, then the jaw heals for 2-3 months before the permanent crown. Simple cases are completed in one 3-5 day visit in Istanbul and All-on-4 full arches in 4-6 days, with the final fitting on your second trip or via a temporary bridge.
Lower running costs, favourable exchange rates and high patient volume, not lower quality. We use the same German-made implant systems and CAD/CAM zirconium as European clinics, in an internationally accredited hospital with a Turkish Ministry of Health tourism licence.
Plan 3-5 days for implant placement, 4-6 days for an All-on-4 full arch and 5-7 days for a zirconium smile makeover or veneers. Recovery is 2-3 days with no pain for most patients, and treatment is outpatient, no hospital stay. We help with airport transfers, a translator and your hotel so the trip is easy.
Ours is. Swedish Clinic holds Temos international accreditation for both dental and medical care, works under a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate issued by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health, and operates an ISO 9001 (UKAS) certified management system. Every implant is placed by a licensed specialist dentist, never a technician.
No. Placement is performed under local anaesthesia, so you feel nothing during the procedure. Most patients describe only mild discomfort for a day or two afterwards, easily managed with standard painkillers.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, titanium implants can last a lifetime, which is why we back them with a lifetime warranty. Zirconium crowns typically last 15-20 years before they may need renewal.
Yes. We arrange VIP airport transfers, a translator in your language and help with hotel booking, so you can focus entirely on your treatment, and enjoy Istanbul between appointments.
