All-on-4 dental implants
in Istanbul, Turkey

All on 4 dental implants procedure in Istanbul, Turkey

First visit in Istanbul

Patients travelling from abroad to Istanbul for dental implants have a consultation with Dr Ferzan Kemali on their first day. A treatment plan is then prepared for the patient. Using modern techniques such as 2D and 3D imaging and Imetric, the precise positions for the implants are determined. The patient is prepared for All-on-4 procedure. A topical anaesthetic may be applied before local anaesthesia to improve patient comfort during the procedure. The implants are then placed in the pre-determined areas. Up to this point, the patient feels no pain and leaves the clinic with a brand-new smile. The patient returns to the clinic a few days later for a follow-up appointment. The dentist then secures the temporary dental prosthesis. Patients’ first visit to Istanbul usually lasts 5–7 days.

Second visit in Istanbul

The osseointegration process generally takes 3-6 months. During this period, Dr Ferzan and the patient coordinators at Clinique Dent Beauté maintain contact with the patient. When the patient arrives in Istanbul, further radiological scans are carried out. Subsequently, impressions are taken for the zirconia dental bridge and sent to the laboratory. The patient is given an appointment for a few days later. During this time, our patient can explore Istanbul, combining their dental treatment with a holiday. Finally, the process moves to the completion stage of the patient’s All-on-4 treatment. Zirconia prosthesis is fixed. The necessary adjustments are made. Once the patient’s approval is obtained, the polishing procedure is carried out. Thus, the patient’s All-on-4 dental implants in Istanbul is completed.

When is All-on-4 treatment recommended?

• Complete edentulism: All-on-4 treatment is an excellent solution for patients who have lost all their teeth or whose teeth have deteriorated so badly that they can no longer be saved.
• If there is bone loss: Those with significant bone loss, especially in the posterior jaw area, may be suitable candidates for All-on-4 treatment. This method maximises the efficiency of the existing bone tissue and offers the possibility of treatment without the need for prolonged and costly additional procedures such as additional bone grafting.
• Looking for a quick solution (same-day temporary teeth):All-on-4 treatment may allows immediate fitting of a temporary fixed prosthesis within the first 24 hours after surgery. This "rapid rehabilitation" advantage provides a significant clinical advantage, especially for patients seeking an immediate solution to their edentulism problems.
• In case of dissatisfaction with conventional dentures:Patients who are dissatisfied with the function, comfort, or aesthetics of their existing removable dentures can benefit significantly from All-on-4, a fixed and implant-supported solution.
• The search for lower costs and fewer surgical procedures:While traditional full arch implant treatments usually require a larger number of implants and bone grafts, All-on-4 provides a more cost-effective and potentially less invasive treatment, usually with four implants and reducing or eliminating the need for grafts.

Who is All-on-4 treatment not suitable for?

Although All-on-4 implant is an excellent solution for many patients, it is not suitable for everyone. The following individuals are not suitable candidates for All-on-4 treatment:

• Those with uncontrolled chronic conditions,
• Those with a weakened immune system (cancer patients, organ transplant recipients), and those with uncontrolled heart disease or bleeding disorders.

What should I do after All-on-4 in Istanbul?

There are some important points to bear in mind after undergoing All-on-4 treatment.

• For the treatment to be successful, it is important that your general health condition is good and that you maintain good oral hygiene. You should also practice effective oral care at home in the post-treatment period. Your dentist will teach you special cleaning methods suitable for your prosthesis type and oral structure. In general, implant-supported dentures are easier to maintain than traditional dentures.
• It is important to attend regular checkup appointments with your dentist, both to check the effectiveness of your treatment and to assess your oral health. These appointments specifically assess the effectiveness of home care to ensure that patients can receive the best possible care in the comfort of their own home.
• After the operation, a temporary fixed prosthesis is screwed onto the implants, usually on the same day. Fracture of the temporary prosthesis or loosening of the abutments can result from overloading or unstable occlusal contacts. Therefore, you should strictly follow your doctor's instructions regarding chewing or biting with the temporary prosthesis and take care not to exert excessive pressure, especially on the posterior appendages.
• Some swelling or bruising in the first ten days after surgery is normal. However, if you notice any fractures in the denture or feel any discomfort or looseness when biting down, you should contact your dentist as soon as possible, as these can be caused by overloading of the denture or occlusal imbalances.

Advantages and disadvantages of All-on-four dental implants

Advantages

• Unlike traditional implants, which require months of healing, All-on-4 usually allows for immediate loading (a temporary denture is placed the same day).
• Patients leave the clinic with functional teeth and do not remain edentulous for a long time.
• While traditional full arch restorations may require 6-8 implants per jaw, All-on-4 uses only four strategically placed implants, reducing surgical complexity.

Disadvantages

• The success of the entire prosthesis depends on the proper integration of all four implants.
• Zirconia crowns last longer but may need to be replaced after 15-20 years.

All-on-4 vs All-on-6: Which one should you choose?

In All-on-4 Istanbul procedure, angled implants bypass areas where the bone structure is weak. This means that bone grafting is generally not required. Consequently, patients with moderate to severe bone loss may opt for All-on-4.

All-on-6 Istanbul may be suitable for patients with greater bone volume. If needed,a bone graft may be performed first to ensure sufficient bone volume.

The stability of All-on-6 implants can make them a more attractive option for patients. However, it is always more accurate for the dentist to recommend treatment based on 3D imaging results. Contact us for further information and to find out which treatment is right for you.
