Say goodbye to dentures — get fixed teeth in a day

VS

All-on-4 or dentures? Which option is right for you?

All-on-4 dental implants provide a permanent, fixed set of teeth anchored on just four implants, delivering a natural-looking smile that functions like real teeth. Traditional dentures are removable prosthetics that can slip, cause discomfort, and lead to bone loss over time. At Smile & Holiday in Fethiye, Turkey, we offer All-on-4 treatment at a fraction of European prices, combining life-changing dental care with a Mediterranean holiday.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, so you feel no pain during surgery. Some mild discomfort during recovery is normal but easily managed with prescribed medication. Most of our patients report far less pain than they anticipated.

The implants are placed in a single surgical session, and temporary teeth are fitted the same day. The permanent prosthesis requires a 3–6 month healing period. Your stay in Fethiye typically needs to be 5–7 days for the initial phase.

Yes, many of our patients transition from removable dentures to fixed All-on-4 implants. As long as bone density is sufficient, additional bone grafting is usually not needed. We can assess your suitability with a detailed panoramic X-ray and 3D scan.

The titanium implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. The prosthetic bridge on top may need replacement after 15–20 years. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are key to maximising the lifespan of your implants.

At Smile & Holiday, we follow international sterilisation protocols and use premium implant brands like Nobel Biocare and Straumann. Our surgeons have years of dedicated All-on-4 experience. We also provide post-treatment guarantees that remain valid after you return home.
