All-on-4 dental implants provide solutions to a host of problems faced by denture wearers. All-on-4 is an implant system, which uses four dental implants to support a full arch of new teeth; the treatment is also known as same day teeth because the new teeth can be fitted on the same day as the dental implants.

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a dental implant system, which is designed to provide solutions for problems such as loose and ill-fitting dentures. The system uses just four implants to support an entire arch of new teeth; usually, between 6 and 10 implants are required.

All-on-4 works because the implants are placed at angles, which make use of the strong bone tissue at the front of the mouth.

Benefits of All-on-4

The All-on-4 implant system has numerous benefits; one of the main selling points is that patients can start enjoying their new smile straight away, as the new teeth can be fitted on the same day as the dental implants. Implant-retained dentures give patients peace of mind and the knowledge that their denture will never come loose. Implants also enable increased biting and chewing power, which means that you do not need to avoid your favourite foods and implants also help to reduce bone loss.

In most cases there is no need for bone grafting.

The procedure

Before you can have treatment, your London based Harley Street Dental Studio dentist will arrange a consultation and examine your mouth and carry out tests to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for treatment. If you are, your implants will be fitted with two at the front of the mouth at a 45 degree angle and two at the back of the mouth at a 90 degree angle. Abutments will be attached to the implants and the restorations (the new teeth) will then be connected and full function will be restored to the mouth.
