Full Mouth Dental Implants: Cost and Options

If you have lost most or all of your teeth — or you are heading that way with failing crowns, loose teeth or worn-out dentures — the first practical question is almost always the same: what do full mouth dental implants cost, and which option gives the best value? The honest answer spans a wide range, from around £4,000 per arch in Turkey to £28,000 or more for both arches in the UK, because "full mouth implants" covers several very different treatment designs. This guide explains each option, what it typically costs, and how to decide which one fits your mouth and your budget.

The Main Full Mouth Options Explained

All-on-4

Four implants per arch support a full fixed bridge of 10–12 teeth. The two rear implants are angled to make the most of available bone, which often avoids bone grafting altogether. All-on-4 is the most cost-effective fixed full-arch solution and usually allows provisional teeth to be fitted within 24 hours of surgery.

All-on-6

The same concept with six implants per arch. The extra two implants spread chewing forces more widely, which many clinicians — myself included — prefer for patients with strong bites, bruxism, or good bone volume, and particularly for the upper jaw where bone is naturally softer. All-on-6 costs more but adds structural redundancy: if one implant ever struggled, the bridge has more support to fall back on.

Full arch with individual bridges (8+ implants)

For patients who want the closest thing to natural teeth, eight or more implants per arch can support segmented zirconium or porcelain bridges rather than one single structure. Segments can be maintained or repaired independently, and aesthetics are typically superb — at a correspondingly higher price. This approach forms part of many full mouth restoration plans.

Implant-retained overdentures

A removable denture that clips onto two to four implants. It is the most affordable implant option and transforms denture stability, but it remains removable — most patients seeking a permanent fix prefer a fixed bridge if their budget allows.

Full Mouth Dental Implants Cost: Comparison Table

Approximate 2026 starting prices per arch. Every figure below varies with implant brand, bridge material (acrylic hybrid vs zirconium) and case complexity — see our current price list for live figures.

Option	Implants per arch	Turkey (approx.)	UK (approx.)	Best suited to
All-on-4	4	from £4,000–£6,000	from £10,000–£14,000	Most patients; limited bone; best value fixed option
All-on-6	6	from £5,000–£7,500	from £12,000–£16,000	Strong bites, upper jaw, extra long-term security
Full arch, individual bridges	8+	from £7,000–£10,000	from £16,000–£25,000	Good bone, highest aesthetic and repairability demands
Implant-retained overdenture	2–4	from £2,000–£3,500	from £5,000–£8,000	Tighter budgets; denture wearers wanting stability

For both arches, roughly double the per-arch figure; many clinics offer a modest discount for treating upper and lower together, since scans, anaesthesia and visits are shared.

What Should Be Included in the Price

A trustworthy full mouth quote is a package, not a teaser rate. Before committing anywhere — Turkey or the UK — confirm in writing that the price includes:

• 3D CT scan, panoramic X-rays and digital smile planning
• All extractions of failing teeth
• The implants themselves, with the brand named (ask for an implant passport)
• The fixed provisional bridge fitted during healing
• The final bridge, with the material specified — zirconium costs more than acrylic hybrid but resists staining and wear considerably better
• Sedation if you want it, all follow-up visits, and a written guarantee

The cheapest quotes usually achieve their price by leaving several of these lines out and adding them back once you are in the chair. An itemised plan protects you from that entirely.

Why Turkey Costs 50–65% Less

The implants used at reputable Turkish clinics are the same international systems placed in London or Berlin — Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Osstem and comparable brands. The savings come from lower clinic overheads, partner digital laboratories, favourable exchange rates and high case volumes, not from inferior components. Full-arch treatment is where the economics of travelling are strongest: even after two return trips to Antalya (flights and hotels typically add £1,000–£2,000 in total), a patient treated for both arches commonly saves £10,000–£15,000 against a UK quote. Our guide to dental tourism in Antalya covers the practical planning, and our patient reviews include many full mouth cases you can read in their own words.

How Treatment Is Scheduled for International Patients

1. Remote assessment. You send X-rays or a CT scan and receive an itemised plan and fixed quote.
2. First visit (5–7 days). Scans are confirmed, failing teeth removed, implants placed, and a fixed provisional bridge fitted — in suitable cases within 24 hours.
3. Healing at home (3–6 months). The implants integrate with the bone while you wear your fixed provisionals; we follow up remotely.
4. Second visit (5–7 days). The final zirconium or porcelain bridge is fabricated, tried in, adjusted and fitted.

Patients with very soft bone or complex grafting needs may need an adjusted timeline; this is a clinical decision made from your scans, and an honest clinic will tell you before you book flights, not after.

Choosing Between the Options

In most consultations the decision comes down to three questions. How much bone do you have? All-on-4 was designed for limited bone; abundant bone opens every option. How heavy is your bite? Grinders and patients with strong musculature benefit from six implants and zirconium. What is your budget ceiling? A fixed All-on-4 arch in Turkey costs less than many single-tooth plans in the UK, which is why it has become the default recommendation for complete tooth loss. There is no universally superior option — only the right match between your anatomy, your priorities and your budget, which is exactly what a proper consultation establishes.
