Through Mapa Health it starts from £3,250. The final price depends on the material, the number of teeth and your dental examination; the written offer names the clinic, the doctor and every service before you book.
Packages usually include the consultation and tests, the treatment, hotel nights and transfers between the airport, hotel and clinic, and the check-ups in Istanbul. Flights are not included; the exact content is listed in the written offer.
Stay: 2 trips · 8 days in Istanbul in total · 3 to 6 months of healing in between. Recovery: 7-10 days soft food, full loading after final prosthesis. Your doctor confirms when you can fly home.
Treatment is carried out by specialist doctors at contracted health institutions in Istanbul. Mapa Health is a patient coordinator licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health (AK-0456), not a clinic; the current list is on the page Our contracted institutions.
Transparency note: Mapa Health is a patient coordinator based in Istanbul, licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health (licence AK-0456), and not a dental clinic. Treatment is carried out by dentists at vetted partner clinics. This page is for information, has a commercial background and does not replace a dental examination.
Quick answer: All-on-4 is a fixed full-arch bridge carried by 4 implants in one jaw. It is planned when most or all teeth in a jaw are missing or cannot be saved. The treatment needs two trips to Istanbul: about 3 days for the implants and a fixed temporary bridge, and about 5 days for the final bridge, with 3 to 6 months of healing in between. The package on this page starts at £3,250 per jaw. Mapa Health coordinates the plan, appointments, transfer and hotel; the treatment itself is carried out by the partner clinic.
All-on-4 replaces all teeth of one jaw with a fixed bridge that is screwed onto 4 implants. The patient cannot remove the bridge; it is brushed like natural teeth and also cleaned underneath with special brushes.
All-on-4 is a solution for a jaw with few or no remaining teeth. If only single teeth are missing, a single dental implant is the right topic. If your own teeth are healthy and only their look bothers you, veneers or crowns are planned instead.
The implants. 4 titanium implants are placed in the jaw under local anaesthesia, on request with sedation. Mapa Health coordinates treatments with implant systems from Straumann and Nobel Biocare, among others.
The temporary bridge. On the first trip you receive a fixed temporary bridge, so you do not go home without teeth. It is lighter than the final bridge and is meant for the healing period.
The final bridge. After 3 to 6 months of healing the final bridge is made, tried in and fitted. It is usually made of zirconia or of a metal framework with ceramic or acrylic teeth; the material is named in the written plan.
Teeth that have to be removed. Remaining teeth that cannot be saved are removed on the first trip, usually in the same session as the placement of the implants. Which teeth that concerns is decided by the dentist after the 3D X-ray.
| All-on-4 | All-on-6 | |
|---|---|---|
| Implants per jaw | 4 | 6 |
| Bone | often possible with less bone, because the rear implants are placed at an angle | needs more bone, also at the back of the jaw |
| Load | the bridge rests on four points | the load is spread over six points |
| Price | lower, fewer implants | higher, more implants |
| Usually right when | bone is limited, especially in the lower jaw | there is enough bone and strong chewing forces are expected |
Whether four or six implants make sense is decided by the treating dentist at the partner clinic after the 3D X-ray. More implants are not automatically better; the decisive factor is the bone. Ask for a written plan that names the number of implants, the implant system and the bridge material. More on the alternative: All-on-6.
The implant is placed under local anaesthesia. You feel pressure but normally no pain during the procedure. Swelling and soreness for a few days afterwards are normal and are treated with the prescribed medication.
The implant then needs time to fuse with the bone. This takes 3 to 6 months, usually longer in the upper jaw than in the lower jaw. During this time you eat soft food at first and avoid smoking, because smoking is one of the main reasons implants do not heal in.
The final bridge is fitted on the second trip, once the implants have healed in. Until then you wear the fixed temporary bridge and eat soft food at first.
Before the trip: You send recent photos of your smile and, if available, a panoramic X-ray. The team at the partner clinic assesses every tooth. You receive a written plan with material, number of teeth, schedule and price before you book.
Trip 1: 3 days in Istanbul
At home: healing: 3 to 6 months. The implants fuse with the bone. You wear the temporary teeth, eat soft food at first and avoid smoking. Check-ups by photo and video call.
Trip 2: 5 days in Istanbul
Typical timings for guidance. The treating dentist at the partner clinic sets the exact plan after an X-ray and examination. If treatments such as decay treatment, a root canal or implants are needed first, the stay is longer or a second trip is planned. You can work out your schedule in the dental trip planner.
The All-on-4 package from Mapa Health starts at £3,250 per jaw. The binding price is stated in the written treatment plan you receive before booking.
Included in the package: laboratory costs, examinations with 3D tomography and panoramic X-ray, local anaesthesia, medication, transfers between airport, hotel and clinic, hotel with breakfast during treatment, and support in your language. Not included: the flight.
What determines the total price: the number of jaws, the implant system, the material of the final bridge and any preliminary treatment such as tooth removal or bone grafting. Two trips mean two flights; plan for them. A detailed price overview is on the page All-on-4 Turkey cost.
An honest coordinator also says when All-on-4 is not the right answer, or not yet.
After the procedure, swelling and bruising are possible for a few days. Contact the clinic if pain increases after the third day, if you have a fever or if the implant feels loose.
Mapa Health is not a dentist and not a clinic but a patient coordinator licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health (licence AK-0456). The licence authorises Mapa Health to support international patients and to coordinate treatments at healthcare facilities; it does not make Mapa Health the treatment provider.
Since 2020 Mapa Health has accompanied more than 500 international patients. You can check the reviews on Trustpilot (4.5 out of 5 from 108 verified reviews) yourself before deciding.
Written commitments on material and workmanship are given by the treating partner clinic, not by Mapa Health. You receive the exact terms in writing before treatment: duration, scope and exclusions, for example accidents, lack of care or teeth grinding without a night guard. A replacement usually requires another trip to Istanbul.
Care decides how long the restoration lasts: brush the bridge twice a day, clean underneath it with interdental brushes or an oral irrigator and have a professional cleaning twice a year. A dentist should check the bridge once a year. With good care and regular check-ups the implants often last decades; the bridge may need repair or replacement sooner.
Mapa Health is not a dental clinic but a patient coordinator licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health (licence AK-0456). The Mapa Health office is located at Avrupa Residence, Yamanevler (Ümraniye, Istanbul). Treatment takes place at vetted partner clinics in Istanbul.
At the partner clinics you are treated by licensed Turkish dentists. Mapa Health provides support in your language so that you can discuss the examination, treatment plan and aftercare without a language barrier.

With individual implants, one implant is placed per missing tooth - for full edentulism in a jaw, that would be up to 14 implants. All-on-Four is a full-arch rehabilitation: 4 strategically placed implants carry a complete fixed bridge with 10 to 14 teeth. The angled position of the two posterior implants often avoids the bone grafting that would be required with individual implants. Faster, more cost-effective and with fewer surgeries - designed for full edentulism.
All-on-4 is a fixed bridge for one whole jaw that is screwed onto 4 implants. It is planned when most or all teeth in a jaw are missing or cannot be saved. The patient cannot remove the bridge. On the first trip you receive a fixed temporary bridge, on the second trip the final bridge. The treatment needs two trips to Istanbul.
Two trips. The first takes about 3 days: examination with 3D X-ray, placement of the implants with a fixed temporary bridge, check-up. Then the implants heal for 3 to 6 months. The second trip takes about 5 days: healing check, digital scan, try-in and fitting of the final bridge, bite check. These are typical timings; the treating dentist sets the exact plan.
Neither solution is better in general. All-on-4 uses four implants per jaw and is often possible with less bone, because the rear implants are placed at an angle. All-on-6 uses six implants, spreads the load over more points and needs more bone. More implants are not automatically better. The dentist decides after the 3D X-ray.
The All-on-4 package from Mapa Health starts at £3,250 per jaw. The total price depends on the number of jaws, the implant system, the bridge material and any bone grafting. The package includes examinations with 3D tomography, local anaesthesia, medication, transfers and hotel with breakfast during treatment. Flights are not included, and there are two trips. The binding price is stated in the written treatment plan you receive before booking.
No. On the first trip a fixed temporary bridge is attached to the implants, so you leave with teeth. The temporary bridge is meant for the healing period. You eat soft food at first and avoid hard and sticky food until the final bridge is fitted on the second trip.
With good care and regular check-ups the implants often last decades. The bridge may need repair or replacement sooner, depending on the material and the load. The main risks are inflammation around the implants, smoking and missed check-ups. Nobody can seriously promise a fixed lifespan.
Mapa Health coordinates treatments with implant systems from Straumann and Nobel Biocare, among others. The brand and model are named in the written treatment plan. After placement you receive an implant passport with the exact details. Keep it: any dentist can use it later to order matching parts.
No implant is placed while gum disease is untreated. Smoking clearly increases the risk that the implant does not heal in. Poorly controlled diabetes and some medications, for example for osteoporosis, need to be discussed beforehand. If there is too little bone, bone grafting is needed first. The dentist at the partner clinic decides after the 3D X-ray and the examination.
Yes. In a small share of cases the implant does not fuse with the bone. Smoking, untreated gum disease and poorly controlled diabetes increase the risk. An implant that has not healed in is removed and, after healing, usually placed again. Ask before booking what the clinic's written terms say about this case.
Contact Mapa Health first and send photos so that the partner clinic can assess the case. Written commitments on material and workmanship are given by the treating partner clinic, not by Mapa Health; you receive the terms in writing before treatment. A replacement usually requires another trip to Istanbul, and travel costs are usually not included. For acute problems such as pain, see a dentist at home.

For All-on-Four general anaesthesia or sedation is often recommended - you wake up after 1 to 2 hours without consciously experiencing the surgery. Local anaesthesia with a sedative is also possible on request.
Success rate is about 95 to 98 percent. If an implant does not integrate, there are two options: replacement with a new implant (3 to 4 months of healing), or conversion to All-on-Five or All-on-Six. A written aftercare and material terms should be on file before the trip.
After 2 to 5 days of adaptation, most patients speak normally. In the first week speech may feel slightly "thicker" because of swelling. Singing or teaching is sensible only from week 2.
With general anaesthesia or sedation you should not navigate the city alone after surgery - Mapa staff arrange the hotel transfer. A companion is not required, but recommended for the first 2 days.
No marketing phrases. Short, honest observations - what typically feels like after All-on-Four.
Under general anaesthesia, you wake up gradually - dizziness and mild nausea for 1 to 2 hours are normal.
Swelling and bruising in the cheek and lip area often only begin hours after surgery.
Ice from outside (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off) noticeably reduces swelling.
With the immediate temporary, you can eat soft, cool foods - no hot drinks.
Pain medication should be taken consistently on schedule - do not wait until pain appears.
Swelling often peaks the morning after - this is expected.
Sleeping with the head elevated reduces morning swelling.
Sage rinse or salt water after meals supports healing.
Pain and swelling typically subside noticeably from day 3.
Soft foods (soup, yogurt, purees, soft bread) are the comfort standard in the first week.
Sport, sauna and sunbathing are paused for the first 7 to 10 days.
Speech feels slightly "thicker" at first - normalises within 5 to 7 days.
Osseointegration proceeds invisibly - you do not feel the fusion.
With the temporary, you can eat normally, except for very hard foods directly on the front teeth.
Smoking during the healing phase is documented to worsen the success rate.
Definitive bridge after 3 to 6 months - the change from temporary to definitive bridge often feels "lighter".
These questions rarely come up in consultations but show up far more often during late-night research. Here are the honest, hedged answers.
The All-on-4 concept, developed by Nobel Biocare, provides a full-arch fixed prosthesis on just four strategically placed implants. This technique has over 20 years of clinical documentation with Strong patient satisfaction reports.
The All-on-4 protocol utilizes tilted posterior implants (30-45 degrees) to maximize bone contact and avoid anatomical structures (maxillary sinus, inferior alveolar nerve). Computer-guided surgery with 3D planning ensures precise implant placement. Immediate loading with a fixed provisional prosthesis is performed on the same day.
Four implants placed and temporary fixed bridge attached on the same day. You leave the clinic with a functional set of teeth. Soft/liquid diet begins.
Swelling and bruising peak and begin to subside. Cold compresses and prescribed medication manage discomfort. Liquid and soft puréed diet continues.
Transition to soft solid foods. Sutures dissolve or are removed. Speech and chewing patterns begin to normalize.
Osseointegration completes. Final impressions taken for the permanent zirconia or acrylic bridge.
Permanent fixed prosthesis is delivered and securely attached. Full dietary freedom restored. Annual check-ups recommended.

Use this section to evaluate All-on-4 Turkey: Cost, Process and Two Trips as a medical-travel decision, not only as a price comparison. The right plan depends on diagnosis, eligibility, medical records, realistic expectations, aftercare access and the written offer issued before travel.
Suitability should be checked before any booking. Share recent tests, medication lists, allergies, previous operations and relevant photographs or scans. The treating physician or clinic must confirm whether All-on-4 Turkey: Cost, Process and Two Trips is appropriate and whether another option would be safer.
Ask what would happen if you choose local care, postpone treatment, use a less invasive option or select another procedure in the same specialty. A good consultation explains why the proposed route fits your diagnosis and why excluded alternatives are less suitable.
The price should be read together with inclusions, exclusions, currency, provider details, hotel nights, transfers, diagnostics, medicines, revisions and follow-up route. £3,250 is a starting figure; the final quote depends on assessment and availability.
Travel planning should include downtime, flight timing, activity restrictions, wound or eye care, diet changes, remote follow-up and warning signs. Do not plan important work, sport or long travel until the recovery window is clear.
Mapa Health coordinates the journey, but the treating provider makes medical decisions. Before travel, confirm the facility, physician role, consent form, emergency contact, aftercare terms and how records will be shared after returning home.
Save the written plan, consent forms, device or implant details where relevant, invoices and aftercare instructions. Bring questions about risks, expected limits, pain control, complications, alternatives and what is not included in the package.
This page is educational. Personal medical advice can only be given after clinical review by the responsible healthcare professional.
Before choosing, compare this option with local treatment, non-surgical care where relevant, and alternative procedures in the same category. The right choice depends on diagnosis, eligibility, risks, recovery time and the written aftercare plan.
