A new smile on four implants
For patients facing failing or missing teeth, the All-on-4 technique restores a complete, fixed smile using just four implants — frequently with provisional teeth fitted the same day.
3D-Guided Surgical Planning All-on-4 is a well-established approach to replacing a full arch of teeth using four dental implants as a stable foundation for a fixed, non-removable bridge. By angling the rear implants, our surgeons can anchor the restoration in regions of denser bone, frequently avoiding the need for bone grafting and shortening the overall treatment journey.
It is designed for patients with extensive tooth loss, failing dentition, or those who struggle with removable dentures. Rather than replacing teeth one at a time, the technique rehabilitates an entire arch in a single, carefully planned procedure.
Precision planning with 3D imaging
Every case begins with high-resolution 3D cone-beam imaging, allowing us to map the exact volume, density and contours of your jawbone. This data drives a fully guided surgical plan, so implant position, depth and angulation are determined before treatment begins — not improvised in the chair.
Guided surgery improves accuracy, protects vital structures such as nerves and the sinus, and helps optimise the long-term stability of your new teeth. It also allows us to discuss your expected outcome with clarity and confidence well ahead of surgery.
- Four implants supporting a complete fixed arch
- Often avoids the need for separate bone grafting
- Provisional fixed teeth frequently fitted the same day
- Performed under local anaesthesia with IV sedation available
- A definitive bridge fitted once healing is complete
Your comfort and recovery
We understand that surgery of this kind can feel daunting. Procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia, with intravenous sedation available so you remain relaxed and comfortable throughout. Our team monitors you closely at every stage and provides clear, written aftercare guidance.
Most patients return home the same day and manage initial recovery with simple measures. Over the following months your implants integrate with the bone, and once healing is complete a custom definitive bridge is fitted. We are here to support you at every review — please book a consultation so we can assess your suitability and answer your questions in person.
All-on-4 Implants — your questions
In many cases a fixed provisional bridge is fitted the same day, so you are not left without teeth. Suitability depends on bone quality and implant stability, which we assess carefully before confirming your plan.
Surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, with IV sedation available for added comfort, so you should feel no pain during treatment. Any post-operative discomfort is usually mild and well managed with the guidance we provide.
With good oral hygiene and regular reviews, implant-supported restorations are designed to provide many years of reliable function. We will tailor a maintenance plan to help protect your investment over the long term.
