Full Set of Teeth in One Day
All-on-4 Dental Implants
All-on-4 dental implants offer an advanced solution for replacing a full set of missing teeth using just four carefully placed implants. This innovative technique allows patients to leave the practice with a full set of fixed, natural-looking teeth – often on the same day as treatment.
Often referred to as “teeth in a day”, All-on-4 provides a fast, reliable alternative to traditional dentures, restoring both function and confidence in a single visit.
A Faster, More Efficient Solution
Unlike traditional implant treatments that may require multiple implants and longer treatment times, All-on-4 uses four strategically positioned implants to support a full arch of teeth.
- Same-day teeth – walk in and leave with a complete smile
- Fewer implants required – typically just four per arch
- Reduced need for bone grafting – suitable for many patients
- Fewer appointments – streamlined treatment process
- Fixed, secure solution – no movement like dentures
What is the All-on-4 Concept?
The All-on-4 concept is designed to provide a full set of fixed teeth supported by four implants. Two implants are placed at the front of the jaw, with two positioned at an angle towards the back to maximise support and stability.
A temporary bridge is fitted on the same day, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence while your final restoration is carefully crafted.
This approach offers a predictable, long-lasting solution for patients looking to replace missing teeth with a secure and natural-looking result.
Your All-on-4 Treatment Journey
Your treatment is carefully planned and delivered in stages to ensure a safe, predictable, and comfortable experience.
1. Consultation and Assessment
Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination, including X-rays, scans, and digital planning. We assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and provide a personalised treatment plan with clear costs.
2. Treatment Planning
Detailed measurements and digital models are used to design your new smile, ensuring optimal fit, function, and aesthetics.
3. Implant Placement
On the day of treatment, any remaining teeth are gently removed and four implants are placed—two at the front and two angled towards the back for maximum support. In most cases, a temporary fixed bridge is fitted the same day.
4. Healing and Integration
Over the following weeks, the implants naturally fuse with the jawbone. During this time, you’ll follow simple aftercare guidance while continuing to enjoy your temporary teeth.
5. Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, your final custom-made bridge is fitted, providing a durable, natural-looking result designed to last for many years.
6. Ongoing Care
Regular dental and hygiene visits, along with good home care, will help maintain your implants and keep your smile looking and functioning at its best.
What are the alternatives to All-on-4 dental implants?
Alternative options include implant-retained dentures, which clip onto dental implants for improved stability, and conventional dentures, which are removable. During your consultation, we will help you choose the most suitable option for your needs.
How does All-on-4 compare to dentures?
Unlike dentures, All-on-4 provides a fixed, secure solution that does not move or slip. This allows you to eat, speak, and smile with greater confidence and comfort.
Can I really have teeth in one day?
In many cases, a temporary fixed bridge can be fitted on the same day as your implants are placed. This means you can leave the practice with a functional, natural-looking smile.
Is All-on-4 suitable for everyone?
All-on-4 is suitable for many patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, or whose remaining teeth need to be removed. A full assessment is required to determine if this treatment is right for you.
How long do All-on-4 implants last?
With proper care and regular dental visits, All-on-4 implants can provide a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, often lasting many years.
Alternative Treatment Options
For patients looking to replace a full set of missing teeth, there are several treatment options available. During your consultation, we will help you choose the most suitable solution based on your needs, preferences, and oral health.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – A removable denture that is supported by dental implants for improved stability compared to traditional dentures.
- Conventional Dentures – A removable option that replaces missing teeth, although they can sometimes feel less secure and comfortable.
