All-on-4 in Portugal
Fixed full-arch teeth on four implants — often in a single day — from €6,000 per arch in Lisbon (indicative). The treatment that saves international patients the most, done by a clinic that has cared for patients since 1989.
What All-on-4 costs in Portugal vs the UK
All-on-4 replaces a full arch of missing or failing teeth with a fixed bridge supported by just four implants. It's the single biggest saving in dental tourism.
| Stage | Clínica Bexiga | United Kingdom |
|---|---|---|
| Surgery + immediate temporary bridge (per arch) | €6,000–6,500 | — |
| Complete, with reinforced acrylic prosthesis (per arch) | €6,000–9,000 | — |
| Complete, with ceramic/zirconia prosthesis (per arch) | €8,000–10,000 | £18,000–35,000 |
All figures are indicative and per arch. The final cost depends on bone quality, any extractions needed and the prosthesis you choose — you always receive an itemised written quote after the in-person assessment, before anything starts.
To give a sense of scale: one arch with a definitive ceramic prosthesis costs €8,000–10,000 here. In the UK the same treatment is typically quoted at £18,000–35,000 — roughly €21,000–40,000 at current rates. The gap comfortably covers flights and accommodation for both visits, but the real figure depends on the quote you already hold and on your own case.
Fixed teeth, often in a single day
The All-on-4 protocol was developed in Lisbon in the 1990s. Two implants are placed vertically at the front and two angled at the back, avoiding the sinus and nerve — which usually removes the need for bone grafting. With immediate loading, a fixed temporary bridge is fitted the same day. You leave with teeth.
How the trips work
- Visit 1 (5-7 days): assessment, 3D CT scan, any extractions, All-on-4 surgery, fixed temporary bridge
- Between visits (3-6 months): healing, with remote follow-up by video call
- Visit 2 (2-3 days): final prosthesis fitted
Important: never fly less than 5-7 days after All-on-4 surgery. We always plan around your return flight.

How much does All-on-4 cost in Portugal?
Indicative and per arch: €6,000-6,500 for surgery with an immediate temporary bridge. The definitive prosthesis, fitted 3-6 months later, runs €3,500-4,500 — the same range in reinforced acrylic, ceramic or zirconia. Both phases together come to €9,500-11,000 — versus £18,000-35,000 in the UK.
Can I really get fixed teeth in one day?
Yes. With immediate loading, four implants are placed and a fixed temporary bridge is fitted the same day or the day after. The final prosthesis is fitted after 3-6 months of healing.
How long do I need to stay in Portugal?
Plan 5-7 days for the first visit. A second short visit of 2-3 days places the final prosthesis after healing. Never fly less than 5-7 days after surgery.
Will I need a bone graft?
Usually not — the angled placement of the back implants is designed to use available bone and avoid grafting. Severe bone loss may require All-on-6 or other options. Only a 3D CT scan can confirm your case.
