All-on-4 vs All-on-6 in Turkey: Which Should UK Patients Choose?
Specialist Prosthodontist · Taki Dent, Antalya
Every week I plan full-arch cases for patients travelling from the UK, and the question they bring is twofold: which procedure do I need, and is it really sensible to have it done in Turkey? Let me answer both honestly, because the two decisions are separate — and getting them in the right order matters.
First, the procedure choice does not change in Turkey
This is important: whether you are treated in London or Antalya, the clinical logic for All-on-4 versus All-on-6 is identical. It is decided by your bone, your bite and your budget, confirmed by a CBCT scan — not by which country you fly to. All-on-4 suits moderate bone loss and avoids grafting; All-on-6 needs more posterior bone but better suits heavy or grinding bites and longer arches. Our candidacy guide walks through exactly how that decision is made.
What Turkey changes is not the clinical answer — it is the price.
What Turkey changes: the cost
| Procedure | Turkey (per arch) | UK private (per arch) |
|---|---|---|
| All-on-4 | £4,500 – £7,500 | £10,000 – £16,000+ |
| All-on-6 | £6,000 – £9,500 | £14,000 – £22,000+ |
Typical savings run 60–70%. A full-mouth All-on-6 that might cost £28,000–£42,000 privately in the UK is commonly £12,000–£18,000 in Turkey — and for most of my patients that saving comfortably absorbs both the All-on-6 premium and the cost of travel.
Why are the prices lower? (And is quality the catch?)
The saving is structural, not a quality compromise. Staff and laboratory costs in Turkey are a fraction of UK levels, the exchange rate favours the pound, and leading Antalya clinics perform full-arch cases daily with in-house labs. The same Straumann or Nobel Biocare implants and the same zirconia bridgework simply cost less to deliver here. The catch is only this: you must choose the clinic carefully, because standards vary more widely than in the regulated UK market.
How to choose a Turkey clinic safely
- Accreditation (JCI or equivalent) and named specialist clinicians.
- Premium implant systems and a written guarantee.
- Planning from a CBCT scan — and a recommendation that fits your bone, not just the dearer option.
- A clear, fixed, all-inclusive quote with no surprise add-ons.
- UK-patient aftercare and a coordinator you can actually reach.
Which should you choose?
My advice to UK patients is the same I give everyone: let your anatomy decide the procedure, and let Turkey decide the price. Get a 3D-based assessment, choose All-on-4 or All-on-6 on its clinical merits, and enjoy the saving that comes from having it done at a high-quality Turkish clinic. Do not let a low price tempt you into the wrong procedure, and do not let "more implants" tempt you into grafting you do not need.
At Taki Dent in Antalya we offer both All-on-4 and All-on-6 at fixed, all-inclusive prices, with CBCT planning, a 5-year written guarantee, airport transfers, hotel arrangements and a dedicated UK coordinator. We recommend the procedure your scan supports — and if you would like to benchmark prices first, Offerqo lets you gather anonymous quotes before sharing any details.
Frequently asked questions
Should UK patients choose All-on-4 or All-on-6 in Turkey?
Choose based on your bone, bite and budget, confirmed by a CBCT scan — the same logic as the UK. Turkey simply makes both far cheaper, from about £4,500 (All-on-4) and £6,000 (All-on-6) per arch.
Is it safe to get All-on-4 or All-on-6 in Turkey?
Yes, at a JCI-accredited clinic with named specialists, premium implants and a written guarantee. The key is choosing the clinic carefully, not avoiding Turkey.
How much can UK patients save?
Typically 60–70%. A full-mouth All-on-6 costing £28,000–£42,000 in the UK is commonly £12,000–£18,000 in Turkey, usually covering the All-on-6 premium and travel.
