Clinical research shows good teeth also play a major role in our overall medical health.
A great smile not only boosts our self-esteem and confidence but also allows us to eat the types of food our body needs to stay healthy.
The time taken and costs involved are outlined below. However, if you would prefer to discuss your treatment face-to-face with one of our dentists, why not book a video call?

#1 SCIENTIFIC APPROACH
"You will be in safe hands under scientific approach"
At Holident, we only work with dentists who graduated from Turkey’s top-class faculties. You may well benefit from the knowledge and experience offered by more than one specialist – particularly if your treatment is more complex.
Whether you require endondontics, orthodontics, general anesthesia, periodontology or implantology,
you will be in the hands of an expert in each.

ALL-ON-4 TREATMENT:
IMPLANT BASED FIXED DENTURES
This is a question many of our patients ask when they get in touch for the first time.
All-on-4 treatment is a life-changing solution for those with the following issues:
- Those with missing teeth or no remaining teeth at all.
- Those with loose teeth.
- Those already using removable dentures.
All-on-4 involves the installation of immediate-load implants which provide patients with a fixed, full-arch prosthesis on the day of the surgery, ensuring both function and aesthetically-pleasing results from day one. That's why All-on-4 is often referred to as "Teeth in a day".
The procedure is usually viable if the following conditions are met:
· The patient has not been diagnosed with diabetes.
· If a patient with chronic health concerns such as heart disease has already consulted their doctor and been given the go-ahead.
· If there is enough healthy bone to provide a foundation at the implant sites.
· If the patient has allowed sufficient time for the implant treatment to be completed properly.
· If the patient is aged over 18.
The required physical condition can be assessed with a panoramic X-ray, which is offered as part of our free consultation. If necessary, a 3D tomography scan can provided our dentists with additional information, allowing them to offer the best advice and a bespoke treatment plan for each patient.
However, patients from outside Turkey also have the option of sending X-rays and images taken elsewhere. These are often enough to allow our dentists to offer a guide to treatment as well as images of potential implant-supported full-mouth solutions.
Visit your dentist before seeking a job
A study published in the British Dental Journal revealed that
62% of participants perceived job applicants to be less employable
when they had a decayed or damaged smile.
This underscores the impact of tooth loss not only on oral health
but also on one's ability to achieve life goals and financial stability.
DAY 1 / Planning and consultation
- Preparing for the patient’s treatment plan using 3D tomography.
- Taking an impression for the patient’s temporary dentures which will be fitted on the day of surgery.*
- Scheduling a date for the operation.
* If an implant operation is performed under sedation, temporary dentures cannot be fitted on the same day. They will be fitted around 48 hours later.
* The quality of the patient’s bone structure influences whether temporary dentures are appropriate.
* Please note, once treatment is agreed, a deposit of £500 is payable in advance.
DAY 4 / Implant Operation and fitting temporary dentures
- Implant surgery will proceed in the morning followed by a denture fitting in the afternoon.
- We advise patients to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes and to enjoy a hearty breakfast on the day of their procedure as it may be a long time between meals. However, if the patient elects to have the surgery under sedation then we require that they arrive on an empty stomach. If they have eaten beforehand, we will not be able to proceed.
DAY 7 / Check-up
If the patient elected to have dissolvable stitches before the fitting of their temporary dentures, then they will be checked after one week. They should then dissolve gradually over a period as long as three months.
DAY 10 / Check-up and removal of non-dissolvable stitches
If the patient elected to have non-dissolvable stitches, these will be removed by our dental team after ten days.
HEALING TIME
A minimum of 90 days is required for integration of bone and implant. The recovery period can actually be as long as a year due to the patient's travel plans but the second stage will certainly not proceed for at least three months.
SECOND STAGE / 15 DAYS
It will be a minimum of three months before your dentist can begin the second phase of your treatment. Bear in mind, although no surgery is involved, the installation of your permanent dentures can take up to 18 days to complete. The fitting procedure includes, taking impressions and rehearsals, with the new dentures completed over four or five appointments.
Most of your treatment will have been done during the first phase but, if there are any implants left to heal without fixing temporary teeth, these will need incisions to allow abutments to be installed. This may mean four or five appointments are required to finalize the fitting and rehearsal procedure. However, we don’t need you every day but you will probably need to remain in the Fethiye area for up to 18 days to allow time for the whole process to be completed.
Experience a life-changing transformation with our All-on-4 treatment! Say goodbye to the hassle of missing teeth and hello to a brand new smile in just one day. With implant-supported fixed dentures, patients who walk into Holident in the morning without teeth leave with a beautiful, permanent set by the afternoon. Discover the power of Teeth in a Day and reclaim your confidence with Holident.
