Missing all or most of the teeth in an arch — or years of decay and bone loss that made saving them impossible — leaves few real options at home. In the UK, full-arch implant treatment is almost never available on the NHS, so the choice is a high-cost private plan or an indefinite wait; American patients typically face five-figure quotes per arch. All-on-4 and All-on-6 replace all the teeth in an arch on 4 or 6 implants, with a fixed bridge — a complete solution for patients with missing or badly damaged teeth. Dental tourism in Tirana makes these rehabilitations accessible, at a fraction of the price charged in the United States, the United Kingdom or Ireland. Albanian Dental Clinic is not a clinic: placement is performed exclusively by a licensed partner clinic; we coordinate the journey in English.
The principle is the same: a complete fixed prosthesis is anchored on just a few implants, instead of one implant per tooth. The number — 4, 6 or 8 implants — depends on bone quality and volume and the load to be carried. It is determined by the surgeon after a 3D scan, not chosen in advance. Been told you don’t have enough bone at all? See the real options for implants with bone loss.
| Protocol | Implants per arch | Typically suits | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-on-4 | 4 | Adequate bone volume, the most common protocol | From around 2,400 € per arch |
| All-on-6 | 6 | Wider load distribution, some cases of reduced bone | Above the All-on-4 starting price — quoted per case |
| All-on-8 | 8 | Severe bone loss or a heavier bite; sometimes paired with tilted or pterygoid implants | Quoted per case, after the 3D scan |
Indicative only — the surgeon sets the actual protocol and price from your own 3D scan and written quote, never from a table.
A full-arch rehabilitation follows a fixed sequence — the same shape as every case coordinated through the portal (see the general model in how it works), specific here to All-on-4/6/8:
In many cases, immediate loading lets you go home with fixed provisional teeth during your stay in Tirana. This is possible because the implant is anchored deep enough, and with enough initial stability, to carry a temporary bridge from day one — rather than being left to heal undisturbed under the gum, the older protocol for single implants. The bone then fuses to the implant surface over the following months (a process called osseointegration) while you are already using fixed provisional teeth day to day. The definitive prosthesis is fitted once that healing is complete. The exact timeline, and whether immediate loading is right for your case at all, is set by the practitioner after your 3D scan — it depends on bone density and the number and position of the implants placed, not on a fixed schedule.
Three different answers to tooth loss get compared, and they are not interchangeable. A single implant replaces one tooth and needs enough bone at that one site; it is the right tool when most of the arch is healthy. A removable denture is the least invasive and least expensive option, but it sits on the gum rather than being fixed, and many wearers describe reduced bite force and stability. All-on-4/6 sits between the two: a full arch of teeth, fixed rather than removable, anchored on a handful of implants rather than one per tooth — the option built specifically for a case where most or all of an arch is already gone, not a substitute for a single missing tooth.
A full-arch quote from a partner clinic is itemised, not a single headline number. It names: the 3D CBCT scan and diagnostics; the implants themselves — the brand and system used is stated per clinic (Straumann® and MegaGen AnyRidge at DentX, MegaGen at Creadent); the surgery and, where it applies, the immediate provisional bridge; the definitive prosthesis, made in-house at Creadents; and the warranty terms in writing. That is what "guaranteed price" means here — every line is on the document before you travel, at −20% off the clinic's own list.
At our partner clinics in Tirana, All-on-4 starts from around 2 400 € per arch, with a written quote at a guaranteed price; All-on-6 and premium solutions sit above that, depending on the case and the material. Always compare like for like: implants, prosthetics, warranty and follow-up — not just the headline price.
It is quoted privately, per arch, at several times the price of the same materials placed in Tirana. At our partner clinics, All-on-4 starts from around 2,400 € per arch — with a written, itemised quote from the licensed partner clinic before you travel. One of our filmed patients put the outcome simply: “It’s just like having your own teeth.”
The same treatment classes — All-on-4 and All-on-6, with brand-name implants — are performed by our licensed partner clinics in Tirana from around 2,400 € per arch, always with the clinic’s written plan and price first. You see who treats you, and what it costs, before booking anything.
Full-arch surgery is not a generalist's procedure. A named surgeon at the partner clinics carries it as a stated specialty:
Both are reachable by videocall before you book anything — see the full doctors directory for every named clinician across the partner clinics.
Patients treated in Tirana describe teeth worn down over years, failing crowns and dentures — and full-arch rehabilitation after. Published with written consent.
Real cases are shown on the partner clinics' own storefront pages. Individual results vary by case, and a full-arch case is rarely a single before/after pair — it typically spans the extraction or clearance stage, the provisional-bridge stage, and the definitive prosthesis, which is why the clinics' own case galleries are worth reading alongside the written quote, not instead of the videocall with the surgeon.
A full-arch case usually needs longer in Tirana than a single implant or a crown — surgery day itself, plus the fitting of the provisional bridge, are typically planned across the same stay, with a separate return visit once healing is complete for the definitive prosthesis. Exactly how many days, and whether one trip or two, is set once your 3D scan is reviewed. As with every case coordinated through the portal, travel and accommodation are arranged around the clinic's own schedule — treatment days and rest days planned together — at no extra cost from ADC on top of the clinic's own written quote.
Implant surgery carries the risks of any surgical procedure, and long-term outcomes depend on bone quality, healing and aftercare — no clinic can honestly promise otherwise, and we do not. What the partner clinics commit to in writing: the warranty terms named on your quote before you travel, and remote follow-up in English through the warranty years so any concern is raised with your coordinator and relayed to the treating clinic. The videocall before you book is where risk specific to your own case — bone volume, health history, the likely number of implants — is actually discussed with the surgeon; nothing here substitutes for that conversation, or for the in-person examination once you arrive.
The number of implants anchoring the fixed prosthesis — 4 or 6 — set by the surgeon from your own 3D scan, based on bone quality and the load to be carried. Neither is inherently "better"; each is the right answer for a different case.
Where immediate loading applies, you go home with a fixed provisional bridge the same stay. The definitive prosthesis follows on a return visit once healing is complete. Whether immediate loading applies to your case is set by the surgeon, not decided in advance.
Tilted or pterygoid implant placement — used at several partner clinics — is designed for exactly this, and often avoids a separate bone-grafting procedure. Whether it applies to you is a 3D-scan decision, discussed with the surgeon.
Yes — the written quote is itemised and guaranteed before you travel, at −20% off the clinic's own published list. The number does not move on arrival.
