Losing all or most of your teeth doesn’t mean you’re destined for uncomfortable dentures. Full mouth dental implants at Dent Leon in İzmir, Turkey offer a permanent, life-changing solution that restores complete function, confidence, and quality of life.
Full mouth dental implants, also known as full arch implants or complete arch restoration, are comprehensive treatment solutions that replace all teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both using dental implants as anchoring foundations. Rather than placing one implant for each missing tooth (which would require 10-14 implants per arch), advanced techniques strategically position 4-8 implants per arch to support a complete fixed prosthesis.
Technically speaking: Full mouth implant systems utilize the strongest areas of your jawbone—typically the anterior region and sometimes angled posterior placements—to create a stable platform for a multi-unit prosthetic bridge. The most common configurations are All-on-4 (4 implants per arch with posterior implants angled up to 45 degrees to avoid anatomical structures), All-on-6 (6 implants for enhanced stability), and All-on-8 (8 implants for maximum support in cases with excellent bone). These implants are integrated into a single fixed prosthesis that cannot be removed by the patient, functioning essentially like natural teeth.
Turkey offers exceptional value for full mouth dental implant treatments. Understanding full mouth implants price comparisons helps explain why thousands of international patients choose İzmir for their complete smile transformation:

What influences full mouth implants price at Dent Leon:
Your final cost depends on implant brand selection (Nobel Biocare and Straumann premium options cost more than quality alternatives), prosthesis material (acrylic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or full zirconia), whether bone grafting or extractions are needed, and whether you choose All-on-4, All-on-6, or All-on-8 configuration. Our transparent pricing includes all components—there are no hidden fees.
Complete package inclusions:
Turkey prices cover comprehensive care: initial consultation and 3D CT scans, digital treatment planning and surgical guide fabrication, all necessary extractions, bone grafting if required, premium implant fixtures and abutments, temporary prosthesis (same-day teeth if immediate loading), final fixed prosthesis (your choice of materials), all surgical procedures and anesthesia, post-operative medications, follow-up appointments for one year, and lifetime warranty on implant fixtures. International patients also receive airport transfers, hotel booking assistance, and 24/7 coordinator support.
Why the dramatic price difference?
Turkey’s lower operational costs, favorable exchange rates, government support for medical tourism, and higher patient volumes allow clinics to offer premium quality at accessible prices. You’re receiving the exact same Swiss Straumann or Swedish Nobel Biocare implants used in Beverly Hills or London—just without the inflated Western pricing. Quality and safety standards remain identical; only the price tag changes.
The journey to your new smile follows a systematic, patient-centered approach designed for predictable outcomes:
1. Comprehensive Evaluation and Digital Planning
Your transformation begins with detailed diagnostics at any of our 6 İzmir locations. We perform clinical examination, intraoral scanning, panoramic X-rays, and 3D cone beam CT imaging to assess bone volume, density, and anatomical structures (sinuses, nerves, blood vessels). Advanced planning software allows our specialists to virtually place each implant with precision, determining optimal positions, angles, and depths. You’ll see a digital preview of your future smile and discuss treatment options—All-on-4 vs. All-on-6, material choices for your prosthesis, and whether immediate loading (same-day teeth) is feasible. This consultation typically takes 90-120 minutes and includes a personalized treatment proposal with transparent pricing.
2. Pre-Surgery Preparation
If you have remaining teeth that need extraction, significant bone loss requiring grafting, or active infections needing treatment, these issues are addressed before or during implant placement. For international patients, we coordinate timing to minimize your visits—many procedures can be combined. Medical clearance may be required if you have certain health conditions. We’ll prescribe pre-operative antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, provide detailed preparation instructions, and arrange sedation or general anesthesia if desired.
3. Implant Placement Surgery
On surgery day, you’ll receive local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia based on your preference and medical needs. The procedure typically takes 2-3 hours per arch. After extracting any remaining teeth (if necessary), we place 4-6 (or more) implants using computer-guided surgical templates for millimeter accuracy. Posterior implants are often angled to avoid sinuses and maximize bone contact. If immediate loading is planned, we’ll take impressions or digital scans immediately after implant placement. Most patients report the experience as “surprisingly comfortable” and describe post-operative discomfort as less intense than anticipated.
4. Immediate Temporary Prosthesis (Same-Day Teeth)
For suitable candidates—those with adequate bone density and achieved primary implant stability—we attach a temporary acrylic prosthesis the same day or within 24-48 hours. This means you never leave our clinic without teeth. The temporary prosthesis is fully functional for eating (soft diet initially) and looks remarkably natural. You’ll wear this for 3-6 months while implants integrate with bone. For cases requiring delayed loading due to bone grafting or lower initial stability, we provide a removable temporary denture to wear during healing.
5. Healing and Osseointegration Period
Over the next 3-6 months, your implants undergo osseointegration—the biological process where bone cells grow onto the titanium surface, creating a solid fusion. During this time, you’ll maintain a modified soft diet initially, gradually progressing to regular foods as healing advances. Regular check-ups (weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12) monitor healing progress through clinical examination and X-rays. If you’re an international patient who’s returned home, we coordinate virtual follow-ups and work with your local dentist if needed. Proper oral hygiene is crucial during this phase—we provide detailed instructions on cleaning around your temporary prosthesis.
6. Final Prosthesis Fabrication
Once osseointegration is confirmed (typically 3-6 months post-surgery), we begin crafting your permanent prosthesis. This involves taking precise impressions or digital scans, recording your bite relationship, selecting tooth shade and shape to complement your facial features, and conducting try-in appointments to verify fit, aesthetics, and function. Our on-site dental laboratory uses premium materials—options include hybrid acrylic (most affordable), porcelain-fused-to-metal framework (balanced durability and aesthetics), or monolithic zirconia (premium choice: strongest, most natural-looking, and stain-resistant). Fabrication takes 2-3 weeks.
7. Final Prosthesis Delivery and Adjustment
Your permanent full arch prosthesis is carefully secured to the implants—either screw-retained (our preferred method for future maintenance ease) or cement-retained. We meticulously adjust your bite to ensure even force distribution across all implants, preventing overload on any single implant. Occlusal refinements continue over the next few weeks as you adapt to your new teeth. We polish everything to perfection, photograph your new smile for your records, and provide comprehensive care instructions including specialized cleaning tools (interdental brushes, water flossers, and techniques for accessing under the bridge).
Full mouth dental implant treatment is suitable for most adults facing complete or near-complete tooth loss, but several factors determine your candidacy:
Dental Status Requirements:
Ideal candidates are those who have lost all teeth in one or both arches, have multiple failing teeth that are beyond saving, suffer from severe tooth decay affecting most teeth, have advanced periodontal disease causing loose teeth, or are currently struggling with ill-fitting traditional dentures. Even if you still have some teeth, if most are failing and headed for extraction anyway, full mouth implants offer a comprehensive solution that addresses everything at once.
Bone Volume and Quality:
While full arch implant techniques like All-on-4 are designed to work with less bone than traditional individual implants, you still need sufficient bone in key areas—primarily the anterior region. Minimum requirements are typically 10-13mm bone height and 5-6mm width in implant sites. Our 3D CT scans precisely measure your bone dimensions and density. If you have moderate bone loss, All-on-4 with angled posterior implants often works without grafting. Severe bone loss may require zygomatic implants (which anchor in cheekbone instead of jaw) or bone augmentation procedures before implant placement.
Age Considerations:
You must be at least 18-21 years old (when jaw growth is complete) to receive dental implants. There’s no upper age limit—we successfully treat patients in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s. Age is less important than overall health status. Many older patients are excellent candidates because they have realistic expectations and are motivated by the quality-of-life improvements full mouth implants provide.
General Health Status:
Good overall health supports successful implant integration and healing. Well-managed chronic conditions like controlled diabetes (HbA1c <7.5%), treated hypertension, stable heart disease, and osteoporosis (not on high-dose bisphosphonates) don’t automatically disqualify you. However, certain conditions require special consideration: active cancer treatment, severe uncontrolled diabetes, recent heart attack or stroke (within 6 months), blood clotting disorders, or heavy immunosuppressive therapy. We’ll coordinate with your physicians when necessary to ensure safety.
Medications Review:
Certain medications affect implant success. Bisphosphonates for osteoporosis (especially IV formulations like Zometa) increase risk of jaw necrosis and may require medication holiday before surgery. Blood thinners like warfarin or newer agents (Xarelto, Eliquis) need careful management—possibly temporary dose adjustment. Immunosuppressants used for autoimmune conditions or organ transplants affect healing. Always disclose all medications and supplements during consultation.

Yes, for many patients. If you have adequate bone density and your implants achieve sufficient primary stability during placement, we can attach a temporary full arch prosthesis the same day or within 24-48 hours (immediate loading protocol). You’ll leave with functional, aesthetic teeth—though you’ll need to follow a modified soft diet initially. The temporary prosthesis remains in place for 3-6 months while implants integrate with bone, then we replace it with your permanent prosthesis. However, cases requiring extensive bone grafting or patients with compromised healing may need delayed loading, where a removable temporary denture is worn during the 4-6 month healing period before the fixed prosthesis is attached.
These terms refer to the number of implants supporting your full arch prosthesis. All-on-4 uses 4 strategically placed implants (2 straight anterior, 2 angled posterior) and is the most common, cost-effective option—suitable for most patients with moderate bone availability. All-on-6 uses 6 implants for enhanced stability and load distribution, recommended for patients with excellent bone who want maximum security, heavy chewers, or those with bruxism. All-on-8 uses 8 implants, typically reserved for patients with exceptional bone quality seeking the absolute strongest foundation possible, though it’s more invasive and expensive. Your dentist will recommend the optimal configuration based on your bone anatomy, bite forces, and budget.
Initially (first 2-3 weeks), you’ll follow a soft diet: scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, smoothies, yogurt, soups, well-cooked pasta, and soft fish. This allows surgical sites to heal. Weeks 3-12 (while wearing temporary prosthesis), gradually introduce firmer foods but avoid very hard items like raw carrots, hard crusty bread, or sticky candy that could dislodge the temporary prosthesis. Once your final prosthesis is placed (after 3-6 months), you can eat virtually everything—steaks, apples, nuts, popcorn, crusty bread—just as you would with natural teeth. Full mouth implants restore 85-90% of your natural chewing power. The only permanent restrictions are using teeth as tools (opening packages, cracking shells) and extremely hard foods like ice cubes or unpopped popcorn kernels that could damage the prosthesis.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the discomfort is. During surgery, you’re completely numb from local anesthesia or sedated/under general anesthesia if preferred, so you feel nothing. Post-operatively, expect moderate swelling and discomfort for 3-5 days—most compare it to “having several teeth extracted,” which while uncomfortable, is typically well-controlled with prescribed pain medication and anti-inflammatories. Swelling peaks around day 3, then gradually subsides. Ice packs the first 48 hours help significantly. Most patients return to desk work within 3-4 days; physical labor may require 7-10 days off. Many patients say the worst part is dietary restrictions during healing, not pain. By week 2, most feel quite normal and are enjoying their new temporary teeth.
leaning is straightforward but requires consistency and the right tools. Daily routine: brush twice daily using a soft-bristled brush on the prosthesis and visible implant components; use interdental brushes (proxy brushes) to clean between the prosthesis and gums and around implant necks; use a water flosser (Waterpik or similar) on medium pressure to flush debris from hard-to-reach areas under the bridge; finish with antimicrobial mouthwash. This routine takes 5-7 minutes twice daily.
We offer a variety of dental treatments including dental implants, invisalign, non-prep veneers, crowns, composite bonding etc.
