Overview
Full mouth dental implants in Turkey: what you need to know
Full mouth dental implants in Turkey replace or restore every tooth in one plan, combining implants, crowns, gum treatment and a corrected bite over one or two trips to Istanbul.
A full mouth reconstruction in Turkey rebuilds most or all of the teeth in both jaws according to one plan, combining whichever treatments each tooth needs: implants where teeth are missing or cannot be saved, crowns where teeth are weak, veneers where only the appearance needs to change, gum treatment where the foundation is unstable, and a corrected bite that holds it all together.
Many people search for full mouth implants in Turkey when this is what they need. Replacing every tooth with implants is only one route, and often not the best one. If most of your teeth are already lost or failing, a full-arch implant bridge such as All-on-4 or All-on-6 may be the right answer. If many of your teeth can still be kept, a reconstruction preserves them and adds implants only where there are gaps.
It is typically considered by people with severe wear from grinding or acid erosion, many broken or repeatedly filled teeth, several missing teeth in both jaws, old crowns and bridges that are failing, or a bite that has "collapsed" so that the lower face looks shorter.
At Doctor Turka in Istanbul, Dr. Taha G and Dr. Hatice G start with the bite and the jaw joints, not with the shade of the teeth. Planning uses a 3D CBCT scan, digital scans and a trial phase with temporaries. When implants are involved, most patients need two trips: about 7-14 days for diagnosis, surgery and temporaries, then 7-10 days a few months later for the final restorations.

“I had my zirconium crowns done a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd share my experience because I know how difficult it can be to decide where to go. I spent ages looking at different clinics and reading reviews before finally booking.
I was a bit nervous when I arrived, mainly because I wasn't sure how my teeth would look afterwards. I really didn't want them to be too white or have that obvious fake look. The dentist was lovely and we talked about the colour and shape before starting, which made me feel a lot better.
The first few days were a little uncomfortable, especially with the temporary teeth, but nothing I couldn't manage. I actually asked to change the shape of my front teeth slightly during the fitting and they were completely fine with it. I'm so glad I did because the final result is exactly what I had in mind.
I've been home for a little while now and everything feels good. My friends keep saying I look different but they can't quite figure out why 😂 I think that's probably the nicest compliment I could get because I wanted them to look natural.
Also have to mention how helpful everyone was during my stay. I had a few questions along the way and always felt comfortable asking. Really happy with how everything turned out and glad I finally went ahead with it ❤️”

“I had zirconia crowns fitted at Doctor Turka and I am very happy with my new smile. I wanted a result that suited me, so it mattered that the team listened to what I liked and what I was unsure about. They took my questions seriously and explained the treatment without making me feel rushed. The staff were friendly throughout my appointments, which made the whole experience easier. What I appreciate most is feeling comfortable smiling again. Thank you to everyone involved in my care.”

Questions about Full mouth dental implants? Talk to our team.
Our patient coordinator takes your questions; medical questions are answered by Dr. Hatice G and the team: whether Full-mouth reconstruction suits you, how long it takes and what the alternatives are.
Which option suits you is decided together with your dentist, based on your examination, not a catalogue.
A
Restorative reconstruction
Most teeth are kept. Crowns, onlays and veneers rebuild worn or broken teeth at a corrected bite height; no implants needed. Sometimes possible in one longer trip.
B
Mixed reconstruction
The most common form: natural teeth restored with crowns and veneers, gaps closed with single implants or implant bridges, gums treated first.
C
Full-arch implants in one jaw
One jaw has failing teeth and receives All-on-4 or All-on-6; the other jaw is restored tooth by tooth. The two are designed to the same bite.
D
Full-arch implants in both jaws
When few or no teeth can be saved: fixed implant bridges in both jaws, with four to eight implants per jaw depending on bone and bite forces.
E
Additive wear rehabilitation
For worn but healthy teeth: composite or thin ceramic build-ups that restore height with little or no drilling, often as a first or interim step.

How your upper and lower teeth meet is planned carefully, so the new teeth feel natural when you chew and speak.
Before you travel, you know what happens on which day.
You leave your contact details and your coordinator calls you. A dentist assesses your case, an existing X-ray can be useful if you have one, and you receive a written, itemised provisional plan with the likely number of trips.
3D CBCT, digital scans, photos, bite registration and jaw-joint examination. Each tooth is given a prognosis: keep, treat or replace.
Infections, decay and gum problems are treated first: fillings, root canals, deep cleaning and extractions of teeth that cannot be saved.
Implants and any bone grafting are placed under local anaesthetic, with sedation available. Teeth to be crowned are prepared where the plan calls for it.
Temporaries at the planned bite height let you test chewing, speech, comfort and appearance for the coming weeks and months.
Implants integrate with the bone and you live with the new bite. Your coordinator stays in touch and your feedback shapes the final design.

In-depth guide
Full mouth reconstruction in Turkey: what it is
A full mouth reconstruction (also called full mouth rehabilitation) is not one treatment. It is a plan that rebuilds the whole dentition, usually both jaws, so that the teeth, gums, bite and jaw joints work together again. The individual treatments are familiar: implants, crowns, veneers, onlays, bridges, root canals, gum therapy. What makes it a reconstruction is that they are designed together, to one bite, in a deliberate order.
The alternative, fixing whichever tooth hurts next, is what brings many people to this point. Each new crown is made to fit a bite that is already wrong, so the problems return. A reconstruction breaks that cycle by deciding first where the teeth should meet, and then building every restoration to that position.
Full mouth implants, All-on-8 and reconstruction: which is which
These terms are often used interchangeably online, but they describe different treatments.
Term
What it usually means
When it fits
Full mouth reconstruction
Keeps healthy and restorable teeth; combines crowns, veneers, implants and gum treatment to one bite
Many teeth still restorable
Full mouth implants
All teeth in one or both jaws replaced by implant-supported teeth
Most teeth lost or failing
All-on-4 / All-on-6
A fixed full-arch bridge on four or six implants per jaw
Full-arch replacement, bone permitting
All-on-8
Eight implants per jaw, often supporting a bridge in two or three sections
More bone available, higher bite forces, preference for segmented bridges
Full set of veneers or crowns
Ceramics on all visible teeth, without implants
Cosmetic or wear cases with healthy roots
If most of your teeth are already lost or cannot be saved, read our pages on All-on-4 and All-on-6, and our guide to full mouth implants and All-on-8. Extracting restorable teeth to place implants is rarely in your interest: natural teeth have a ligament that cushions bite forces and gives feedback, and an implant cannot replace that.
Made for you
Restorations are made individually for your mouth, with try-ins and adjustments before final placement.
Who needs a full mouth reconstruction, and who does not
Typical situations:
Severe wear. Grinding, clenching or acid erosion (reflux, frequent acidic drinks, past eating disorders) has shortened the teeth, often by several millimetres.
Multiple failing restorations. Crowns, bridges and large fillings of different ages leaking, breaking or decaying underneath.
Missing teeth in several areas. Neighbours tilt, opposing teeth over-erupt and the bite loses its stops.
A collapsed bite. The lower face looks shorter, the corners of the mouth fold, the front teeth flare.
Inherited conditions such as amelogenesis or dentinogenesis imperfecta.
It is not the right choice, or must wait, if:
gum disease is active. It is treated and re-evaluated first (gum treatment).
diabetes is uncontrolled or you have had intravenous bisphosphonates or radiotherapy to the jaws. These change the implant plan and need your doctor's input.
you have acute jaw-joint pain. It is calmed with a splint and physiotherapy before the bite is changed.
your concern is only cosmetic and the bite is healthy. A Hollywood smile or whitening is then more proportionate.
you cannot commit to two trips and long-term maintenance.
Alternatives include phased treatment at home over several years, orthodontics followed by a smaller number of restorations, additive composite build-ups for wear, implant-supported or conventional dentures, and full-arch implant bridges.
Diagnosis starts with the bite
Vertical dimension
The vertical dimension is the height of your face when the teeth meet. Wear and tooth loss reduce it gradually. At rest, there is normally a small gap of roughly 2-4 mm between upper and lower teeth. The dentist measures this, looks at facial proportions and speech, and decides whether the bite should be raised and by how much. Studies suggest that moderate increases of a few millimetres are generally well tolerated when they are planned and tested.
Jaw joints and muscles
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and chewing muscles are examined for clicking, pain, limited opening and deviation. The bite is recorded in a stable, reproducible jaw position so that the new teeth are built around healthy joints rather than around a habitual position the muscles have adapted to.
Tooth-by-tooth prognosis
Each tooth is assessed with the 3D CBCT and a clinical examination: bone support, root condition, existing root fillings, cracks and remaining structure. The result is a simple chart: keep as is, restore, treat and restore, or replace.
How treatments are combined
Situation of the tooth or area
Usual treatment
Healthy but worn or discoloured front tooth
Veneer or additive build-up
Worn back tooth with enough structure
Onlay or partial crown
Large filling, fracture or root-treated tooth
Crown (E.max at the front, zirconia at the back)
Infected but restorable root
Root-canal treatment, then crown
Single missing tooth
Implant with crown, or bridge if neighbours need crowns anyway
A "full set" of veneers or crowns on every visible tooth is part of some reconstructions, but it should follow the diagnosis, not the other way round. Where teeth are worn, a full set may be needed to restore height. Where teeth are healthy, crowning them all for colour alone is over-treatment.
See it before it is final
Aesthetic work is checked and tried in, so you can give feedback before anything is fixed for good.
The phased treatment plan
Diagnosis and planning. CBCT, scans, photos, bite and joint examination, digital design of the new teeth.
Disease control. Pain relief, extractions of hopeless teeth, root canals, fillings, deep cleaning.
Re-evaluation. Healing of the gums and a check that the remaining teeth are stable.
Surgery. Implants and grafts where needed.
Provisional phase. Temporaries at the new bite height, adjusted until comfort, speech and appearance are right.
Final restorations. Ceramics made from the approved temporaries, tried in and fixed, often one jaw or quadrant at a time.
Maintenance. Night guard, check-ups and professional cleaning.
Trip 2: final restorations, bite check, night guard
Istanbul
7-10 days
Without implants, a reconstruction can sometimes be completed in one longer trip of 10-14 days. When the bite height changes significantly, however, a period of living with temporaries at home is safer, so two trips are usually recommended even then. How it works explains packages, hotel and transfers.
What each stage feels like
Diagnosis is painless: scans, photos and measurements, plus a long conversation about what bothers you and what you want. Disease control feels like ordinary dentistry: fillings and root canals under local anaesthetic, a deep clean that can leave the gums tender for a day or two. Surgery is usually done under local anaesthetic, with sedation available for longer sessions; swelling tends to peak on the second or third day, so plan quiet days in the hotel afterwards. Tooth preparation for crowns is similar to having a large filling. The first days with temporaries at a new bite height feel strange: the teeth seem to meet too early, the tongue explores the new shapes and some words sound different. Most people adapt within one to two weeks.
Planning your time
Allow a buffer day before your flight home after surgery, avoid long-haul connections in the first days if you can, and keep the weeks between trips free of major events where a temporary tooth coming loose would be a problem. Your coordinator schedules the second trip once the dentist confirms healing, usually with several weeks' notice.
Testing the new bite with temporaries
The temporaries are the most important part of the reconstruction. They are made from the digital design and fixed at the planned bite height. Over the following weeks you check chewing, speech (particularly "s" and "f" sounds), lip support and appearance, and whether the jaw muscles feel relaxed. Adjustments at this stage are simple. Once you and the dentist are satisfied, the final ceramics copy the temporaries.
Shade chosen with you
Colour is selected together, in daylight, so the result suits your face, skin tone and neighbouring teeth.
Risks and how they are reduced
Implant complications. Most studies report implant survival above 95 % at ten years, but early failure, infection or peri-implantitis can occur. Reduced by treating gum disease, stopping smoking and careful planning on the CBCT.
Ceramic chipping. More common in grinders. Reduced by material choice, bite balancing and a night guard.
Joint or muscle discomfort after a bite change. Usually temporary. Reduced by testing the bite with temporaries before the final work.
Nerve damage in crowned teeth. Some teeth need root-canal treatment later. Reduced by conservative preparation.
Treatment fatigue. A long process is demanding. Reduced by a written, dated plan and one coordinator throughout.
Lifespan, maintenance and night guard
Well-made ceramic crowns and implant restorations often last 10-15 years or more, and implants themselves can last much longer with good care. Lifespan depends heavily on maintenance: cleaning every 3-6 months, interdental brushes or a water flosser around implants, and a night guard for anyone who grinds. The reconstruction replaces damaged teeth; it does not remove the habit or condition that damaged them.

How to choose a clinic in Turkey for a full mouth reconstruction
Ask each clinic:
Who plans and performs the surgery and the restorations?
How will you assess my bite height and jaw joints?
Which teeth will be kept, which replaced, and why?
Will I test the new bite with temporaries before the final work?
Which implant system and ceramics will you use? (Doctor Turka works with systems such as Straumann, Nobel Biocare, Osstem and Medentika, and with E.max and zirconia.)
How many trips, and what happens between them?
Red flags: extracting all teeth by default, a fixed "package" of crowns before any examination, no temporaries phase, and final work completed in a few days after major bite changes.
What shapes your treatment plan and quote
A reconstruction quote is built from the plan: how many teeth are kept, restored or replaced, the number of implants and any grafting, the crowns, veneers and bridges and their materials, the treatment needed first, the length of the provisional phase and the number of trips. You receive it in writing, itemised, before you travel. Starting prices for each component are on our dental costs in Turkey page. For a cosmetic smile makeover rather than a full reconstruction, see Hollywood smile price in Turkey and what is included.
Guarantee and follow-up from home
Before you leave on the final trip, the bite is checked in several jaw movements, restorations are polished and a night guard is made. You receive written aftercare instructions, an overview of which implant system and materials were used for each tooth (useful for any dentist who sees you later) and written guarantee terms, which are explained in your plan. Back home, your coordinator remains your contact in English or German. Small adjustments can often be made by a local dentist following our notes; anything larger is reviewed by Dr. Taha G or Dr. Hatice G, who advise on the next step.
Full mouth dental implants package deals: what is included
A full-mouth plan is best compared as a complete package, not a per-tooth price. A clear quote itemises the 3D CBCT scan and planning, the implants and their brand, the temporary teeth you wear while healing and the final bridge or crowns, plus any gum treatment, hotel and VIP transfers, your coordinator and the written guarantee. When you compare offers, check that each one lists these line by line rather than hiding them behind a single headline number. We do not publish prices on this page; see full mouth dental implants cost and the dental costs in Turkey page.

Answers about Full-mouth reconstruction. Not listed? Ask us directly.
What is the difference between full mouth reconstruction and full mouth implants?
Full mouth implants replace all the teeth in a jaw with implant-supported teeth. A full mouth reconstruction keeps every tooth that can be saved and combines crowns, veneers, gum treatment and implants only where teeth are missing or hopeless. If most of your teeth are failing, a full-arch option such as All-on-4 may be better; if many are restorable, a reconstruction preserves them.
What is All-on-8 and do I need it?
All-on-8 usually means eight implants in one jaw supporting a fixed bridge, often made in two or three sections. It can make sense where there is plenty of bone and high bite forces, or when a segmented bridge is preferred. Many patients are treated well with four or six implants. The number is decided on the CBCT, not in advance.
Can a full mouth reconstruction be done in one trip?
Without implants and without a significant bite change, sometimes yes, in about 10-14 days. With implants, the final restorations follow on a second trip after 3-6 months of healing. When the bite height is raised, a period of testing with temporaries at home is safer, so two trips are usually recommended even without implants.
What is vertical dimension, and why does it matter?
It is the height of the lower face when the teeth meet. Wear and tooth loss reduce it, which can shorten the face, fold the mouth corners and strain the chewing muscles. Restoring it is often central to a reconstruction. The new height is measured, designed and tested with temporaries before the final ceramics are made.
Will my face look different afterwards?
Restoring lost bite height often gives the lips and lower face more support, which many people describe as looking less tired. The change is usually subtle. You see it first with the temporaries, and the final design can be adjusted if you want more or less change.
What happens between the two trips?
You go home with temporaries at the planned bite height. The implants integrate with the bone over roughly 3-6 months, and you test chewing, speech and appearance. Your coordinator stays in touch, and any concerns are passed to Dr. Taha G or Dr. Hatice G. Your feedback goes into the final design.
Am I too old for a full mouth reconstruction?
Age alone is rarely the limiting factor. General health, bone quality, medication and your ability to keep the teeth clean matter more. Conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis treatment or blood thinners are reviewed before planning and may need input from your doctor at home.
How much are full mouth implants or a full reconstruction in Turkey?
It depends on how many teeth are kept, restored or replaced, the number of implants and any bone grafting, the crowns and veneers and their materials, treatment needed first and the number of trips. Because every mouth is different, there is no fixed package; you receive a written, itemised quote before travelling. Starting prices for each component are on our dental costs in Turkey page.
How is a full mouth reconstruction different from a Hollywood smile?
A Hollywood smile changes the appearance of healthy teeth, mainly with veneers. A reconstruction rebuilds function as well: bite height, missing teeth, broken teeth and the gums. Many reconstructions include a new smile, but the starting point is the bite and the jaw joints, and the treatment usually takes two trips.
How much is a full set of veneers in Turkey?
A full set of veneers usually means 16-20 units on the upper and lower visible teeth. The quote depends on the number of units, the mix of veneers and crowns, the material and any treatment needed first. For worn teeth, the set is part of rebuilding bite height; for healthy teeth, fewer units are often enough. See our dental costs in Turkey page for starting prices.
Will a reconstruction help my jaw pain or TMJ problems?
It can help when the pain is linked to a collapsed or unstable bite, but it is not a guaranteed cure. Acute joint pain is calmed first with a splint and physiotherapy. The bite is then recorded in a stable jaw position and tested with temporaries, so that any discomfort shows up before the final work.
Is it painful?
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, and sedation can be discussed for surgery. After implants or extractions, swelling and soreness usually peak around the second or third day and are managed with prescribed medication. Preparing teeth for crowns is similar to having a filling. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days of each stage.
Which implant systems and materials are used?
Doctor Turka works with implant systems including Straumann SL Active, Nobel Biocare, Swiss Implant, Straumann Group Medentika, Osstem, Hiossen and Aggressor. Crowns and veneers are made in E.max (Ivoclar) or monolithic or layered zirconia, chosen tooth by tooth. The system and materials for each tooth are listed in your written plan.
Do I need a night guard afterwards?
If you grind or clench, or if wear was part of the original problem, yes, and usually for life. The reconstruction replaces damaged teeth but does not stop the habit. A hard acrylic night guard protects the ceramics and implants and is typically made at the end of the final trip.
