All-on-4 Dental Implants in London

How long do All-on-4 implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution for missing teeth, with many patients enjoying results that last for decades – and in some cases, even a lifetime. At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we provide peace of mind with a comprehensive warranty, giving you confidence in the quality and durability of your treatment.

Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is the key to protecting your dental implants and ensuring your restoration remains strong for years to come. After your procedure, our team will guide you through the best cleaning techniques, including how to brush and floss effectively to keep your implants and gums healthy. With the right dental care, your new smile can remain stable, functional, and natural-looking well into the future.

Research shows success rates of over 90% after 11 years, with restorations still in place in 99% of cases. With good oral hygiene, routine check-ups, and professional cleanings, All-on-4 can last for decades — potentially for life.
At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic we provide:
5-year warranty on the prosthetic bridge.
Lifetime warranty on implant materials (when cleaned at least once a year with us).

What is smile in a day treatment?

Smile in a day is another name for the All-on-4 dental implants procedure. Instead of waiting months for regular implants and dental bridgework, you can walk out of the clinic with a fixed set of replacement teeth on the very same day. The treatment involves placing four tooth implants in the jaw bone to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This is especially helpful for patients living with total tooth loss, failing teeth, or uncomfortable removable dentures.

Can I get All on 4 implants on the NHS?

Unfortunately, All-on-4 dental implants are not generally covered by the NHS as they are deemed a cosmetic procedure rather than essential care. The NHS does offer some dental implant services, but these are typically reserved for cases of trauma or congenital conditions. At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we understand the value of a healthy, beautiful smile. Therefore, we offer a wide range of payment plans and financing options to make these transformative treatments accessible to everyone.

Can I eat normally with All on 4 dental implants?

One of the many benefits of All-on-4 implants is the ability to eat with confidence again. Once the healing process is completed, you’ll be able to enjoy the same range of foods as you would with your natural teeth. The implants create a solid foundation, restoring your bite strength and allowing you to relish everything from a crisp apple to a hearty steak. In the initial weeks following the All-on-4 procedure, we recommend patients to stick to a diet of soft foods and liquids. This ensures that the surgical sites can heal properly without any undue pressure or stress. Once you have completely healed, you can resume a normal diet. However, it’s best to avoid overly hard or sticky foods as an extra measure of caution to protect your new teeth. Pain or discomfort when chewing could signify a few potential issues, such as incorrect bite alignment, an infection, or implant loosening. These complications are relatively rare due to the precision of our implant placement and our comprehensive follow-up care, but if they do arise, it’s essential to seek professional help promptly. If you experience any discomfort with your implants, please do not hesitate to contact our clinic .

Can your mouth reject an implant?

It’s extremely uncommon for the body to reject a dental implant as they are made of biocompatible materials. However, there can be complications, such as infection, poor bone density, or inadequate oral hygiene, that may lead to implant failure. At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we strive to minimise such risks by conducting thorough assessments of each patient’s dental health and bone density before proceeding with the implant procedure.

How do you clean All-on-4 implants?

Caring for All-on-4 implants is very similar to caring for natural teeth:
Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Use implant-specific floss or interdental brushes to clean around the bridge.
Attend routine check-ups and professional cleanings once or twice per year.
Good oral hygiene protects both your implants and overall dental health.

How do All on 4 implants differ from traditional dental implants?

The key difference between All-on-4 and traditional dental implants is the number of implants and their strategic placement. While traditional dental implant procedures often require six to eight implants per jaw, the All-on-4 technique only needs four. Furthermore, the All-on-4 procedure typically avoids the need for bone grafting , making the process faster and more comfortable for patients.

What’s the rate of success with the All on 4 dental implant procedure?

The All-on-4 dental implant procedure boasts a high success rate. Research studies show a success rate of up to 98%. Our dental team at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic is exceptionally skilled and experienced in implantology , which contributes to our ability to achieve successful results for our patients consistently.

Which is better – All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants?

Both treatments replace a full arch of teeth using fewer implants than traditional methods. All-on-4 is less invasive, quicker, and usually avoids bone grafting, making it suitable for many patients. All-on-6 provides extra support and may be recommended for patients with strong bite forces or when additional stability is beneficial. Our experienced dentists will advise which treatment plan is best for your needs.

Do All-on-4 implants look natural?

Yes. At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we design each bridge to complement your face shape, gum line, and bite, ensuring a natural appearance. Patients often report that their All-on-4 implants look indistinguishable from natural teeth and restore their confidence with a perfect smile.

Are All-on-4 dental implants comfortable?

Unlike removable dentures, which can slip or rub, All-on-4 implants are fixed securely to the jaw bone. Once healed, they feel and function just like natural teeth. Most patients find the treatment far more comfortable than expected, both during and after the procedure.

How successful is the All-on-4 procedure?

All-on-4 is one of the most studied and predictable implant treatments available. Global research shows a success rate of 95–98%. At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, our own patient results reflect this high level of success, thanks to careful planning, modern technology, and the expertise of our implantology specialists.
