Full Mouth Restoration in Turkey
Full mouth restoration (also called full mouth rehabilitation or reconstruction) is a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses every tooth in both the upper and lower arches. It is not a single procedure but a coordinated sequence of treatments (implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, bone grafting, and bite reconstruction) designed to restore complete dental function, aesthetics, and structural integrity.
Full mouth restoration is indicated when the scope of dental damage goes beyond what individual treatments can address: patients with severely worn dentitions from years of bruxism, extensive decay across multiple teeth, multiple failing or missing teeth, collapsed bite height (loss of vertical dimension), a combination of functional and aesthetic concerns across both arches.
This is the most complex work in restorative dentistry. It requires diagnostic precision, multi-step planning, and the kind of prosthodontic expertise that general dentists are not trained to provide.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Full Mouth Restoration in Turkey
What is the difference between full mouth restoration and a smile makeover?
A smile makeover typically focuses on the visible front teeth using veneers, whitening, or minor crowns. Full mouth restoration addresses every tooth in both arches, including back teeth, bite alignment, implants for missing teeth, and structural rehabilitation. It is a functional and aesthetic treatment, not purely cosmetic.
How many visits to Turkey will I need?
Typically 2–3 visits over 4–8 months. The first visit covers assessment, planning, and foundation work (extractions, grafting, implant placement). After a healing period at home, you return for the final restorations. Complex cases may need a third adjustment visit.
Is full mouth restoration painful?
Each individual procedure (implant placement, crown preparation) involves standard dental anaesthesia and is comfortable. Between visits, any discomfort is managed with standard painkillers. The multi-stage approach means you are never undergoing everything at once.
How long does a full mouth restoration last?
With proper care, implants are designed to last a lifetime and high-quality zirconium or porcelain restorations last 10–20+ years. Night guards are strongly recommended for patients with bruxism. Regular dental check-ups are essential.
Can I get temporary teeth between visits?
Yes. Temporary restorations are placed after preparation work so you are never left without functional teeth. For All-on-4/6 cases, provisional fixed prostheses are often fitted the same day as implant surgery.
Full Mouth Restoration Cost in Turkey
| Treatment Scope | UK Cost | Turkey Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Full mouth restoration (crowns/bridges) | £15,000–£30,000 | £5,000–£12,000 |
| Full mouth with implants (both arches) | £25,000–£50,000 | £8,000–£18,000 |
| All-on-4 both arches | £20,000–£30,000 | £7,000–£11,000 |
Exact pricing depends on the number of implants, type of restorations (zirconium, e.max, porcelain-fused-to-metal), and whether bone grafting or sinus lifts are needed. Vellum Select provides detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing before any commitment.
What Full Mouth Restoration Involves
Phase 1: Diagnosis & Planning CBCT scans, digital impressions, bite analysis, and comprehensive examination. The prosthodontist maps every tooth, assesses bone levels, evaluates the bite relationship, and designs a treatment plan that addresses the entire mouth as an integrated system. Digital wax-ups and mock-ups allow the patient to preview the planned result.
Phase 2: Foundation Work Extractions of non-salvageable teeth, bone grafting where implants are needed, periodontal treatment to establish healthy gum tissue. This phase creates the stable foundation on which the restorative work is built.
Phase 3: Implant Placement Implants are placed in edentulous (toothless) areas according to the digitally planned positions. A healing period of 3–6 months follows for osseointegration.
Phase 4: Restorative Phase Crowns, bridges, and implant-supported prostheses are fabricated and fitted. Bite alignment (occlusion) is carefully adjusted to distribute forces evenly across all teeth and implants. This is where prosthodontic expertise matters most, a general dentist may place technically acceptable crowns that create bite interferences leading to implant failure, TMJ problems, or premature restoration wear.
Phase 5: Refinement & Maintenance Final adjustments, night guard fabrication if bruxism is present, and establishment of a maintenance schedule.
Why a Prosthodontist Matters
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist with 4–5 years of postgraduate training specifically in tooth replacement and restoration, the most complex end of the restorative spectrum. For full mouth cases, this training is essential because the prosthodontist manages occlusal (bite) relationships across the entire arch, plans implant positions based on the ideal final restoration (not just bone availability), selects materials based on clinical evidence and functional requirements, and coordinates multi-stage treatment across potentially dozens of individual restorations.
Dr. Ersin Arıcan's PhD in prosthodontics from Istanbul University (with doctoral specialisation in maxillofacial prosthetics) represents the highest level of restorative dental education available.
