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
Led by master surgeon Dr. Tonguç Kavasoğlu and supported by our talented experts Dr. Betül, Dr. Özge, and Dr. Alev, our team at Holident Dental Hospital delivers life-changing All-on-4 treatments with precision and care.
Together, - Dr.Tonguc's experience forover 20 years and the expertise of our team- we create confident, lasting smiles!
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/under sedation. They will be fitted next day when the patient is awake.
* The quality of the patient’s bone structure influences whether temporary dentures are appropriate.
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.
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 / 2 WEEKS
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 2 weeks 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.

#3 AFTER SERVICE SUPPORT
"We have been treating patients in Fethiye since 2004"
It’s been a privilege to watch the Holident brand develop over the last 15 years. What began as a small clinic in Fethiye is now the centre of a worldwide community which we strive to ensure transcends the usual relationship between dentist and patient. Indeed, to us, all our patients are much more than just a number and a file; they are family which we are proud to serve. We are not a mobile brand; we have been treating patients in Fethiye since 2003 and plan to remain here for many more years to come.
Full-mouth All-on-4® treatment requires two dentures and a minimum of eight implants and the cost of the treatment starts from £8,000. However, it’s important to emphasise that each patient’s requirements are different so our surgeons Dr Tonguç Kavasoğlu and Dr Betül Çalışkan Batı will need to see your X-rays first.
If you don’t have any, patients are welcome to visit Holident Dental Hospital for a free consultation which includes panoramic X-rays to allow us to establish a bespoke treatment plan for you. If more detailed examination is needed, an additional 3D tomography scan may be taken.
However, if you already have the required X-rays, we recommend you book a video call and send us copies beforehand. We should then be able to provide all the information you need before you visit us in Fethiye.
A minimum eight or a maximum of 12 implants may be used to complete an All-On-4 procedure. Your X-ray will be used to help you make the right decision.
An estimate of costs is listed below but if bone quality means more implants are required, the price will rise for each additional implant. We offer a 10% discount for cash payments made in advance:
-
All-On-4/6 Implants (top and bottom)
-
Temporary Dentures
-
Permanent Dentures
-
Sinus Lifting (if needed due to x-ray results)
-
Bone Graft (if needed due to x-ray results)
-
Extractions (if needed)
• TOTAL COST: All-on-4 treatment costs change between £4.500 to £6.000 - PER JAW - due to number of implants and supporting treatments needed.
You can see testimonials about implant treatment from former patients here. Also, why not visit our social media accounts to find out more about what people have been saying about us?
Our first aim is always to preserve and protect healthy teeth but, if you already have quite a few missing, we can fill the gaps with implants and crown the remaining ones to complete your new, full-mouth smile.
When you visit Dr. Tonguç Kavasoglu and Dr. Btül Çalışkan Batı for your consultation, they will first check your X-ray to see which teeth are healthy and which are loose before sharing his assessment with you. This will include their expert analysis of the following:
• Healthy teeth: These are the remaining ones which have a healthy root and are surrounded by healthy gums which can either remain as they are or be crowned to complete your new smile.
• Teeth which require attention: These include teeth affected by a root canal infection or gum disease which, with the right treatment, could still be preserved and then crowned if required. Patients requiring root canal treatment will be seen by our specialist endodontist Dr Irmak Eroglu. Alternatively, our cosmetic dentists will deal with cavities while Dr. Tonguç Kavasoglu and Dr. Betül Çalışkan Batı will treat gum infections.
• Loose or mobile teeth: Wobbly or insecure teeth will probably require extraction in future anyway so will be removed and replaced. Implant-supported crowns will be inserted both for aesthetic reasons and to restore the patient’s chewing.
• Missing teeth: Implants and implant-supported crowns and bridges will be inserted to provide the patient with a full-mouth smile and to fill any existing gaps. The number of implants required will depend on the position of the missing teeth and the condition of the jawbone at the sites where they are required. However, it’s important to understand, if you have three missing teeth in a row, it doesn't mean you will require three implants. Implant-supported crowns and bridges offer 100% function and aesthetically pleasing results so two implants and three crowns may well be enough.
INDIVIDUAL IMPLANTS &
IMPLANT-SUPPORTED, FULL-MOUTH SOLUTIONS
Implant treatment is usually carried out in two phases. The first is the implant operation and the second is the fitting of the crowns. If a patient also requires restorative work on existing teeth this will also be carried out after the initial implant operation. However, nothing proceeds until each patient has been informed about their suggested treatment and fully understands both the procedures involved and the cost.
Phase One
Two appointments over seven days
The first stage includes the initial implant operation if the gap is at the esthetic site our surgeon will also install any temporary teeth which may be required to last the patient until the second stage. Stitches will be taken in the second appointment after 5-7 days.
Phase Two
Four appointments over 10 days
The second phase will not proceed until at least three months after the first – it can be up to 12 months depending on to the patients' travel plans. It includes the installation of new, permanent teeth and any other restorative work which may be necessary. The procedures will usually be carried out over a minimum of 7days but may take longer, depending on the amount of work required.
1-3 Implant Supported Crowns: 1 Week
4-5 Implant Supported Crowns: 9 Days
6 or more Implant Supported Crowns: Up to 10-14 days.
Thanks to modern dentistry, implants are placed directly into the jawbone, which might sound uncomfortable. Local anesthetic is usually enough to manage the patient’s comfort.
However, we understand some patients may still suffer from dentafobia so, if you prefer, our expert team can offer a general anesthetic. Please click here to find out more about sedation and general anesthesia.
With proper dental care and good oral hygiene, a dental implant can actually last a lifetime.
You can visit your dentist for a check-up every year.

PARTIAL IMPLANTS
Losing chewing function can have a significant impact on both your health and your quality of life and it’s not just about missing out on the food you love.
-
If you have missing teeth on one side of your mouth it’s natural to chew with the other, which will cause unequal pressure on your jaw and muscles. That can affect the asymmetrical shape of your face and load more pressure onto the healthy side of your mouth.
-
If you have missing teeth on both sides of your mouth, you may lack chewing function, which means you may be swallowing food which presents more of a challenge for your digestive system. That may encourage you to stick to less-challenging, softer foods which are mostly comprised of carbohydrates.
-
Many of our patients who have missing front teeth are reluctant to smile, which means they can miss out on enjoying happy events to the full. If you find it hard to laugh or smile, research also suggests it can have an impact on both your social and professional life.
-
There are many ways to improve your smile and chewing function, including partial dentures or bridges. However, dental implants replace natural teeth permanently and offer 100% of the same function and benefits. Patients can look forward to eating, speaking, and smiling with total confidence and comfort while implants also restore the natural balance of your mouth and jaw. Alternative solutions such as bridges or partial dentures may not be able to offer the same stability, which can have detrimental long-term effects.
If you have missing three teeth side by side, that doesn’t necessarily mean you need an implant to replace each one. A bridge with three crowns over two implants may be sufficient.
Immediate implant placement is when an implant is placed at the same time as the natural tooth is extracted. There are certain criteria which have to be met to avoid the risk of infection and there needs to be sufficient bone in the area of the extraction. However, immediate implants are generally faster and more comfortable as long as the procedure is performed by a specialist dental surgeon.

#2 PRICING: "We will only recommend the treatment you need"
At Holident, we have never pushed our patients towards the treatment which costs the most.
If you only need six crowns, we will never recommend more and, if there is a chance of preserving a natural tooth, we will make every effort to do just that.
Nucleoss Implant: £590
Nucleoss Abutment + Noritake Kuraray Zirconium Crown: £265
--
Nobel Implant: £850
Nobel Abutment + Noritake Kuraray Zirconium Crown: £295
** 5 YEARS OF FREE CHECK-UPS AND A GUARANTEE ARE INCLUDED**
The human body is designed to function at its best with a full set of teeth. Even one missing one can make a difference:
· If you lose a tooth, it’s natural to try to chew with the other side of your mouth, which may then be overworked and suffer more wear and tear.
· Unbalanced chewing can have an impact on the asymmetrical shape of your face.
· Chewing with a full set of teeth is like exercise for your mouth and jaw and helps to keep both healthy. A missing tooth can lead to a weaker area and that can influence whether or not you will be able to have implants in later life.
· An implant should last a lifetime and, if you have more than one missing tooth, implant-supported bridges can help fill the gaps. We try to encourage our patients to look at implant surgery as an investment in their health and well-being, both now and in the future.
· Replacing a missing front tooth can enhance your smile, your confidence and your own self-esteem. For example, did you know a missing tooth can lead to a deterioration in bone density which can cause facial disfigurement and make you appear older than you are? Our advice is don’t delay; after all, if you do nothing, then nothing will improve.
Please see our notes below to find out more about implant treatment procedures and costs. Alternatively, you can arrange a video call with our experts who can help develop a bespoke treatment plan for you. However, the typical timeline for implant treatment is as follows:
o Day One: A consultation and panoramic X-ray to develop a treatment plan.
o Day Two: Implant surgery (loading the screw part of the implant).
o Day 6: Check-up and removal of stitches.
After this, we would recommend allowing three months for the implant and bone to adapt to each other. However, it can be left for longer to integrate better with travel plans of patients from outside Turkey.
Fitting the implant-supported crowns during the second stage takes no more than two weeks or between a week and nine days for anything between one to three implants. If the patient needs more, then we would recommend allowing two weeks or more so there is sufficient time for three or four appointments to complete the second stage.
