All-on-4 Zadar Croatia at Dental Zadar is intended for patients whose problem involves an entire upper or lower dental arch rather than one or two missing teeth. The clinic currently lists All-on-4 from €6,200 and works with several established implant systems. Before treatment begins, however, the most important decision is not simply whether four implants can be placed. It is which type of full-arch restoration those implants are expected to support and whether the remaining teeth should genuinely be replaced.
Fixed All-on-4 or another restoration on four implants?
Dental Zadar publishes two different treatment categories that both involve four implants.
Its current Treatments International profile lists:
Implant-supported denture on 4 implants – €4,575
and
All-on-4 – €6,200
These should not be treated as two prices for the same treatment.
All-on-4 is planned as a fixed full-arch rehabilitation. An implant-supported denture belongs to a different prosthetic category.
Therefore, a patient comparing prices should first establish what type of restoration is being proposed.
Ask for the written plan to identify whether the final teeth will be fixed to the implants or whether the proposed prosthesis belongs to another implant-supported design.
That distinction is more important than simply counting four implants.
What does the €6,200 All-on-4 price include?
Dental Zadar currently publishes All-on-4 at €6,200.
However, a full-arch treatment contains several surgical and prosthetic components. Therefore, the individual quotation should show exactly what is included for your jaw.
Before travelling, the treatment plan should clarify the planned number of implants, required abutments or prosthetic components, temporary restoration if applicable, definitive full-arch restoration and any additional surgery.
This is especially important when comparing treatment in different clinics.
One clinic may quote only the surgical stage, while another price may include a much larger proportion of the definitive prosthetic work.
A meaningful comparison therefore starts with identical treatment components, not headline prices.
Dr Ljilja Pantalon and implant planning in Zadar
Dr Ljilja Pantalon has more than 30 years of experience in dentistry.
She completed postgraduate specialist study in dental implantology at the University of Zagreb School of Dental Medicine and has additional professional experience in prosthodontics.
She has led her dental practice in Zadar since 2001.
This combination is particularly relevant for All-on-4 because a full-arch case is simultaneously a surgical and prosthetic treatment.
Four implants are only the foundation.
Their positions must eventually support a complete dental arch with appropriate tooth position, bite and function.
For this reason, implant placement should be planned with the future prosthetic restoration already in mind.
Astra Tech, Straumann, Bredent Blue Sky and BTK implants
Dental Zadar currently lists several implant systems within its implantology service:
Astra Tech
Straumann
Bredent Blue Sky
BTK
The published individual implant prices are currently:
Astra Tech / Straumann implant – €1,000
Bredent Blue Sky / BTK implant – €800
Nevertheless, these individual implant prices should not simply be multiplied by four to calculate an All-on-4 case.
Full-arch treatment includes a different prosthetic concept and additional components.
Furthermore, the publicly available information does not state that every All-on-4 patient automatically receives the same implant brand.
The exact system should therefore be confirmed in the personal treatment plan.
After treatment, keep documentation identifying the manufacturer and components that were used.
Four implants should result from the jaw assessment
The name All-on-4 describes a four-implant configuration.
It does not mean that four implants are automatically the correct choice for every completely or almost completely toothless jaw.
The clinician still needs to assess the available anatomy and the planned fixed restoration.
Important considerations include the distribution of usable bone, position of anatomical structures, shape of the dental arch and relationship with the opposite jaw.
Dental Zadar also offers All-on-6.
Its current published price for that treatment is €7,800.
Therefore, patients should not choose between four and six implants simply according to the package price.
The clinic should be able to explain why four implants are appropriate for the specific jaw being treated.
Remaining teeth need a prognosis before extraction
Some people considering All-on-4 already wear a complete denture.
Others still have several natural teeth.
Those remaining teeth may be loose, heavily restored or affected by periodontal problems, but they should still be assessed individually before extraction.
A full-arch implant treatment becomes relevant when the remaining dentition can no longer provide a predictable foundation for a functional fixed restoration.
If certain teeth can still be maintained reliably, the treatment possibilities may be different.
Therefore, an All-on-4 consultation should identify which teeth have a poor prognosis and why.
Removing teeth simply to fit a standard implant package would not be an appropriate starting point for treatment.
Bone grafting can change both price and timing
Dental Zadar provides bone augmentation as part of its implantology service.
Its current published starting price for bone grafting is €70, while sinus lift procedures are listed at approximately €600–800.
These prices do not mean that every All-on-4 patient needs additional bone surgery.
Likewise, All-on-4 should not be advertised as a guarantee that grafting will never be necessary.
The requirement depends on the individual anatomy.
If additional bone treatment is recommended, ask whether it can be performed during the implant surgery or whether it requires a separate healing stage.
That decision can materially affect the number of visits required in Zadar.
One jaw and two jaws are completely different cases
The published All-on-4 price relates to a treatment unit, but patients should establish clearly whether their plan involves one jaw or both.
If only the upper jaw is being rehabilitated, the new full-arch bridge must work against whatever remains in the lower jaw.
That may include natural teeth, crowns, implants or a denture.
If both jaws require complete rehabilitation, the dentist must plan two new arches in relation to each other.
Consequently, a double-arch case is not simply the same treatment repeated twice.
Bite position, available restorative space and the relationship between both new arches become much more significant.
The opposite jaw can influence the final bridge
A fixed All-on-4 bridge must function against the teeth or restorations in the opposite jaw.
For example, a patient with strong natural lower teeth may create a different loading situation from someone who already wears a lower denture.
Existing crowns or implants can also affect the bite.
For that reason, the final design should consider both jaws even when only one receives implants.
This also explains why treatment photographs alone cannot determine the full plan.
Clinical examination and appropriate diagnostic imaging remain necessary.
Healing separates implant surgery from the definitive prosthetic stage
Dental implants require biological integration with the jawbone.
Therefore, the surgical placement of four implants and the definitive prosthetic result should be understood as separate parts of treatment.
A temporary restoration may be used during healing when the clinical conditions and treatment protocol allow it.
However, the permanent bridge should be planned according to the healed implant situation.
For an international patient, this distinction is particularly important.
Before booking flights, clarify whether your treatment requires more than one stay in Zadar and at what stage the definitive fixed bridge is expected to be fitted.
Dental Zadar has its own dental laboratory
Dental Zadar has an in-house dental laboratory.
Its TI profile states that most prosthetic laboratory work can be completed in approximately 2–5 days.
For All-on-4, however, that laboratory turnaround should not be interpreted as the total biological treatment time.
Implants still require appropriate healing.
The useful advantage of an in-house laboratory is different: communication about the prosthetic restoration can take place closely between the clinical and technical teams.
This becomes particularly relevant when an entire arch must be designed rather than a single crown.
The definitive bridge material should be written in the treatment plan
An implant brand describes the components placed in the jaw.
It does not describe the material used for the final visible teeth.
Those are separate decisions.
Therefore, an All-on-4 quotation should state what type of definitive full-arch restoration is planned.
Patients should know whether the quoted price ends with temporary teeth or includes the definitive bridge, and which material is intended for that final prosthesis.
The current public Dental Zadar information does not assign one universal final bridge material to every All-on-4 patient.
For that reason, the material should be confirmed individually instead of assumed.
An All-on-4 patient needs different records from a single-implant patient
For a single missing tooth, a local X-ray and information about one tooth position may be the main starting point.
All-on-4 requires information about the complete arch.
Before an assessment, useful records include a recent panoramic X-ray or CBCT if one already exists, together with clear photographs of the upper and lower teeth.
Also explain:
- whether you currently wear a full or partial denture;
- which natural teeth remain;
- whether any implants are already present;
- whether another dentist has recommended extractions;
- and whether bone grafting has previously been discussed.
There is no need to obtain new imaging solely for an online enquiry unless a clinician has advised you to do so.

Full-arch rehabilitation should dictate the travel schedule rather than being compressed into a pre-booked holiday.
All-on-4 Zadar Croatia enquiry
If you are considering All-on-4 Zadar Croatia, you can send your full-arch case through Treatments International to Dental Zadar.
The most useful starting point is to explain whether you are already completely without teeth in that jaw, wear a removable denture or still have natural teeth that have been given a poor prognosis.
Dr Ljilja Pantalon and the Dental Zadar implant team can then assess whether four implants are an appropriate foundation for a fixed full-arch restoration or whether a different implant configuration or prosthetic solution should be considered.
Before treatment begins, the written plan should make four points especially clear: which teeth are being removed and why, which implant system is planned, what type of restoration is provided during healing and what definitive fixed bridge completes the treatment.
