All-on-4: a realistic Antalya timeline

What typically happens across first and second visits, and where patients misunderstand "same day".

"Teeth in a day", what it really means

Marketing loves the phrase "teeth in a day", but clinically that usually means a fixed provisional bridge on implants placed the same week, not the final zirconia or hybrid bridge you will wear for years.

First active visit

First active visit often bundles records, CBCT confirmation, surgery, and immediate provisional steps when bone quality, hygiene, and bite risk allow. You leave with teeth, but they are part of a staged protocol with written bite and hygiene rules.

Healing at home

Osseointegration still takes months. Remote photo reviews bridge the gap so swelling, occlusion, and soft tissue stay on track while you are home.

Second visit and lab cadence

Second visit is booked around lab cadence: try-in, ceramic or acrylic upgrade, torque checks, and photography. Padding an extra day for lab tweaks is deliberate, rushing flights rarely saves money once adjustments are needed.

If grafting is needed

If grafting or sinus work enters the plan, timelines lengthen. That is not a setback; it is the difference between a bridge that survives load and one that develops avoidable complications.
