Missing teeth can be problematic for numerous reasons; gaps in the teeth affect the look of your smile, which may also knock your confidence and missing teeth make eating and speaking more difficult. At Harley Street Dental Studio in London we offer a range of tooth replacement treatments, including the amazing All-on-4 implant system, which produces incredible, natural looking smiles in just one day.

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a dental implant system, which replaces teeth in just one day. Normally, dental implant treatment takes several months because it takes time for the implants to integrate into the jawbone. However, with All-on-4, the new teeth can be placed on the same day as the All-on-4 dental implants, which means that you can enjoy your new smile as soon as you leave the practice. In most cases, it takes between 6 and 10 dental implants to support an arch of teeth, but with All-on-4, just four implants are needed.

How does All-on-4 work?

All-on-4 dental implants are placed at specific angles to provide maximum support for the new teeth. Two of the implants are placed at the front of the mouth and two implants are placed at the back of the mouth. The front implants are positioned at 90 degree angles, while the back implants are placed at 45 degree angles. The treatment works because it makes the most of the dense bone mass at the front of the mouth.

Who can benefit from All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a great option for patients who have had dentures in the past and experienced problems such as loose, slipping dentures and difficulty with eating. It is also a good treatment for patients who have a large number of missing teeth and are looking for a long-term treatment. All-on-4 provides a solution to many of the problems linked to dentures, as the implants anchor the new teeth, increase bite power and give patients peace of mind that their teeth will never come loose or irritate their gums.
