All-on Full Mouth Dental Implants London

While All-on-4 is an excellent treatment option offered by many clinics, we exclusively recommend All-on-6 for several important reasons. The additional two implants provide significantly better stability and load distribution, which is particularly beneficial for the upper jaw where bone density is naturally lower. This enhanced support system reduces stress on individual implants, potentially extending the lifespan of your restoration. The six-implant approach also provides better bone stimulation throughout the jaw, helping to preserve facial structure over time. In the unlikely event that one implant fails, the remaining five can typically maintain the restoration while the issue is addressed – a safety margin that is not available with only four implants. Through our Istanbul pricing model, we’re able to offer this premium six-implant solution at costs comparable to what many UK clinics charge for All-on-4, making it excellent value for money when considering the long-term benefits.

With proper care and maintenance, All-on-6 implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implants themselves have excellent longevity, with studies showing success rates exceeding 95% after 10 years. The prosthetic teeth attached to these implants typically last 10-15 years before needing replacement due to normal wear and tear, though high-quality zirconia restorations may last even longer. Regular dental check-ups help identify any issues early. Factors affecting longevity include oral hygiene practices, smoking, general health conditions, and bite forces. The superior stability of the All-on-6 approach, with its two additional implants compared to All-on-4, helps distribute forces more evenly across the restoration, potentially extending its lifespan. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to maximise the longevity of your investment.

Absolutely. Creating natural-looking restorations is a cornerstone of our approach. We work with master ceramists who custom-design your new teeth to complement your facial features, skin tone, and personal preferences. Unlike older denture techniques that often produced a uniform, “false” appearance, modern All-on restorations are individually crafted to mimic the slight variations found in natural teeth. The prosthesis is designed with a natural gum line that blends seamlessly with your existing gum tissue. Most patients report that friends and colleagues don’t realise they have implant-supported teeth unless told. During your planning appointments, we’ll discuss aesthetic considerations such as tooth shape, size, and shade to ensure your new smile looks authentic. You’ll have the opportunity to preview the appearance of your new teeth before the final restoration is created, allowing for any desired adjustments.

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the All-on-6 procedure is. The implant placement is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you don’t feel pain during the procedure. Sedation options are available for anxious patients, making the experience relaxed and stress-free. Following surgery, it’s normal to experience some swelling and discomfort for 3-7 days, but this is typically well managed with prescribed pain medication. The temporary teeth fitted shortly after surgery are designed to minimise pressure on the healing implants while providing functionality and aesthetics. Many patients report taking only over-the-counter pain relievers after the first day or two. Our team provides detailed instructions for post-operative care, including cold compresses and dietary recommendations to maximise comfort during healing.

Most patients can resume normal light activities within 2–3 days of the procedure. You’ll have temporary fixed teeth in place within 24-48 hours of implant placement, allowing you to speak and smile confidently almost immediately. During the initial healing period (first 6-8 weeks), you’ll follow a soft food diet to avoid placing excessive pressure on the newly placed implants. This gradually transitions to a normal diet as healing progresses. Many patients return to work within 3-5 days of the procedure, though this varies based on individual healing and the nature of your occupation. Social activities can typically be resumed within a week, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 10-14 days. Your temporary teeth are designed to look natural, so there’s no need to feel self-conscious in social situations while you heal. Full integration of the implants with your jawbone takes 3-6 months, at which point your final, permanent teeth are placed.

The cost difference is substantial. In London, All-on-4 treatment typically starts at £15,000 per arch, with All-on-6 costing £18,000–£25,000 per arch. A full mouth restoration (both arches) can easily reach £35,000-£45,000. Our Istanbul-based All-on-6 treatment costs €2,450 for a single arch and €4,490 for a full mouth – savings of approximately 70–80% compared to UK prices. This dramatic difference doesn’t reflect a compromise in quality; rather, it’s made possible by lower operating costs in Turkey, reduced regulatory overhead, and the economic efficiency of a high-volume speciality centre. The implant systems, prosthetic materials, and clinical protocols are identical to those used in premium London practices. Our comprehensive packages include not just the clinical treatment but also hotel accommodation, transfers, and medications. The only additional expenses are your flights to Istanbul (typically £150–£300 return) and personal expenses during your stay.
