All-on-4 in Antalya.

Who it tends to suit

This is a treatment for people whose remaining teeth cannot be saved, or who have worn a removable denture and are tired of it moving. Angling the two rear implants lets them anchor in the denser bone at the front of the jaw, which often avoids the bone grafting a conventional full-arch case would need.

It is not automatically the right answer. If enough of your own teeth can be kept, keeping them usually wins. That comparison is made honestly at the planning stage — a jaw that is emptied unnecessarily cannot be undone.

How the treatment runs

1. PlanningCBCT scan, photographs and a bite assessment. The scan decides where the bone is dense enough to take an angled implant, and whether four or six is the right number for you.
2. Surgery dayAny hopeless teeth are removed, the implants are placed, and a fixed temporary bridge is usually screwed on the same day — you leave with teeth, not gaps.
3. HealingThe temporary bridge stays in place while the implants integrate, typically 4–6 months. You eat softer food during the first weeks; this is the part patients underestimate.
4. The final bridgeOnce healing is confirmed, the definitive bridge is made and fitted on the second trip, with the bite refined over a few appointments.

What the final bridge is made of

The definitive bridge is normally a monolithic zirconia or a titanium-reinforced structure, chosen for how your bite loads it rather than by price tier. Mechanical complications — a chipped facing, a loosened screw — are the most common maintenance events over the years, and they are repairable.

Afterwards

A fixed full-arch bridge needs cleaning underneath it — with interdental brushes, a water flosser, and a professional clean twice a year. The bridge is unscrewed and inspected periodically. Patients who keep to that routine tend to be the ones still comfortable a decade later.

Planning the trips

Most patients plan the first trip around 7 days to allow a rest day after surgery, and the second around 5. Antalya's airport is close enough that neither trip begins with a long transfer, and the months in between are spent at home with a fixed temporary bridge rather than a denture in a glass.
