Full Mouth Dental Implants: Global Cost Guide and How to Save 70%

Understanding Full Mouth Dental Implants

Full mouth dental implants are the gold standard for replacing an entire arch of missing or failing teeth. Unlike dentures, which sit on top of the gums and can slip or cause discomfort, implant-supported teeth are permanently fixed to your jawbone. They do not move, they do not need adhesive, and they look and feel like natural teeth.

The two most common approaches are:

• All-on-4: Four dental implants per arch support a full bridge of 10–12 teeth. Developed by Professor Paulo Maló, this technique uses angled posterior implants to maximise bone contact. It has over 20 years of published clinical data with success rates above 97%.
• All-on-6: Six implants per arch provide additional support points. This option is ideal for patients with good bone volume who want maximum stability.
• Individual implants: Each missing tooth is replaced with its own implant. This approach costs more but can be appropriate when only several teeth are missing rather than a full arch.

What Is Included in the Price?

Understanding what is included in a quoted price is critical. A comprehensive All-on-4 treatment should include:

• CBCT 3D scan and digital treatment planning
• 4 or 6 dental implants (ask for the brand name)
• Abutments (the connectors between implant and bridge)
• Provisional bridge (fitted on the day of surgery or within 24–48 hours)
• Permanent bridge (usually zirconia, fitted 4–6 months later)
• All surgical procedures (including local anaesthesia or sedation)
• Follow-up appointments
• Written warranty

Some clinics, particularly budget operations, quote a low headline price that covers only the implant placement, with the provisional bridge, permanent bridge and other components charged separately. Always request an itemised breakdown that covers the entire treatment from start to finish.

The Treatment Process: What to Expect

Full mouth implant treatment with All-on-4 or All-on-6 follows a well-established process:

Visit 1 (4–7 days):

• Day 1: CBCT 3D scan, clinical examination, digital treatment planning
• Day 2: Implant surgery (1–2 hours per arch under local anaesthesia)
• Day 2–3: Provisional fixed bridge is attached — you leave the clinic with teeth
• Day 4–7: Recovery, soft diet, follow-up check

Healing period (4–6 months at home):

• The implants fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration
• You wear the provisional bridge throughout this period — it looks and functions well
• Remote check-ins via WhatsApp or video call

Visit 2 (3–5 days):

• Digital impressions for the permanent bridge
• Permanent zirconia bridge is fitted and adjusted
• Final checks and aftercare instructions

All-on-4 vs All-on-6: Which Do You Need?

Factor	All-on-4	All-on-6
Number of implants	4 per arch	6 per arch
Bone requirement	Lower (angled posterior implants)	Higher (straight placement)
Bone grafting needed?	Rarely	More often
Surgery time	1–1.5 hours per arch	1.5–2 hours per arch
Same-day teeth	Yes	Yes
Long-term success	97–98% (20+ years of data)	97–99%
Cost (Albania)	€3,500–€7,000 per arch	€5,000–€9,000 per arch
Best for	Patients with some bone loss	Patients with good bone volume

Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your CBCT scan, bone volume and clinical assessment. Both options deliver excellent long-term results.

Real Cost Example: Full Mouth Restoration in Albania vs UK

Let us compare the total cost for a patient from the UK getting All-on-4 on both arches:

Cost Item	UK	Albania (inc. travel)
All-on-4 both arches	£24,000–£40,000	€7,000–€14,000
Return flights (2 trips)	—	£100–£200
Hotel (10 nights total)	—	€400–€800
Food and transport	—	€200–€400
Total	£24,000–£40,000	€7,700–€15,400
Savings	£12,000–£28,000 (60–75%)

Even including flights, hotels, meals and two trips, the savings are substantial. Many patients use a portion of their savings to enjoy Tirana’s excellent restaurants, beautiful coastline and vibrant culture.

Is It Worth Travelling for Full Mouth Implants?

For most patients, the answer is yes. When the savings amount to £12,000–£28,000, the cost of flights and accommodation is insignificant. The clinical quality at leading Albanian clinics matches what you would receive in the UK — the same implant brands, the same technology, and often dentists who have trained in the UK or EU.

The key is choosing the right clinic. Look for transparency, verifiable credentials, genuine patient reviews and clear communication before you travel.
