All-on-4 dental implants in London

Losing a permanent tooth doesn’t mean you have to live with it. Wimpole Street Dental Clinic wants to help you regain your confidence and smile freely again with our All-on-4 dental implants. Our internationally renowned team uses state-of-the-art technology to replace your teeth with customised crowns.

You’re in good hands. Concerning Fixed-teeth-in-a-day, Prof. Christian Mehl is our core specialist in implantology and prosthetics and is certified by the German Society of Prosthodontics, the German Society of Implantology and the General Dental Council as a specialist.

What are All-on-4 dental implants?

Smiling with your mouth closed doesn’t have to be your only choice. Fixed-teeth-in-a-day treatment is a surgical procedure that is designed to provide full mouth restoration.

Many of our patients who seek all-on-4 dental implants have lost a number of teeth to injury or declining oral health. This can make them feel particularly self-conscious and low in confidence about their smile. Whilst traditional procedures like dental implants can help resolve this problem, such treatment for multiple teeth can be very time-consuming and take too long. Many patients, they want to have the look of natural teeth back on the same day. All-on-4 implants allow for four or six, implants to be fitted on the same day at our London dental implant clinic in one single-day procedure. The first stage to ‘get your smile back’ is to book an initial consultation with one of our dentists.

Who is suitable for All-on-4 dental implants?

The treatment involves creating artificial roots within the jawbone to support replacement teeth such as an implant. You may want to consider All-on-4 dental implants if you: have oral issues that have impacted your mouth over a long period of time, are missing several teeth, or have failing teeth, or can no longer wear a set of dentures.

Our dentists will be able to advise if you’re suitable for all-on-4 implants at your initial consultation in our central London dental clinic on Wimpole Street (adjacent to the famous Harley Street). They will take a few notes and ask about your oral hygiene and history and then will inspect your mouth to assess your suitability.

What happens during All-on-4 dental implant surgery?

Once we’ve determined dental implants are right for you, you can expect the following treatment:

We understand that you’re busy, but rest assured that we can complete your same-day implant treatment in a fast, efficient and safe manner. We can complete our All-on-4 dental implant process for you in one day, making for an efficient procedure. Because we’ll finish the dental implant treatment in one appointment, please expect to be in the practice from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Before the procedure, we will prepare your new teeth based on your three-dimensional X-rays, digital models and photographs of your upper and lower jaws. On the day of your surgery, you will start the sedation process after arrival and registration at our dental practice. From there, the surgery will begin. The timing to complete varies from patient to patient, but the surgery part takes around 2-4 hours.

After the procedure, you will enter the recovery room until the sedation wears off. Then, you will be cleared to leave with a family member or friend after a quick check by our dentist. After your procedure, we will schedule two follow-up visits to ensure you’re feeling good about your new and improved smile. In the second appointment, the final teeth will be placed. In the years after the procedure, you will come in for routine cleanings and check-ups.

How long do All-on-4 dental implants last?

Feeling confident about a major cosmetic investment can help you feel satisfied overall. After 11 years, All-on-4 dental implants have the success rate of 91% and 99% of the restorations are still in place. The treatment concept has been validated for decades to last many years, but can last a lifetime if properly cared for.

At the Wimpole Street Dental Clinic implant centre in London, we can give you a five-year warranty on the dentures and life-long warranties on the dental implant materials themselves if the restoration is cleaned at least once a year as a minimum. With proper dental care, regular check-ups and maintaining a regular dental hygiene routine you not only protect your dental health but your new All-on-4 implants.

Benefits All-on-4 dental implants

With the many benefits that come with All-on-4 dental implants, you’ll feel confident about making the investment.

In comparison to traditional implants, teeth are removed and All-on-4 dental implants are inserted into the jaw in just one day thanks to our state-of-the-art implant technology. Some of the other advantages of our dental implant surgery include:

No palate cover.

We create tailor-made dentures and bridges.

No bone augmentation or grafting is required. We use innovative surgery techniques to restore your smile.

Fewer appointments are needed. We only need one day to perform the implant treatment.

Immediate use of your new and improved denture thanks to our same-day teeth implants.

The All-on-4 implant restores your smile with the strength and look of natural teeth on the same day.

Care from certified dental specialists who have received awards for research in implantology and prosthodontics.

What are the risks associated with All-on-4 dental implants?

Risks which are associated with All-on-4 dental implants include sensitivity disorders in the chin area from injury to the nerve which may occur, although it is extremely rare. Peri-implantitis, or periodontitis around the dental implant, may occur without the patient’s commitment to proper oral hygiene habits. This risk may be more likely to develop in smokers.

How can you extend the durability of your All-on-4 dental implants?

Getting All-on-4 dental implants is the first step. Taking necessary precautionary measures to keep them in good shape is the second. Thankfully, the road to durability is simple to navigate. There are easy steps you can take at home to extend the life of your implants.

Extending the life of your dental implants is as easy as practising proper oral hygiene habits. Brushing and flossing regularly to remove food residue is essential to keeping your implants in good condition. One of our dental professionals will teach you the specifics about cleaning your denture and how to floss with dental implants.

It’s also important to visit the dentist at a minimum once, better twice a year for a cleaning; this is mandatory for those with a warranty.

What is the future of implantology and how will technology change how dentists undertake treatment?

Prof Dr. Christian Mehl has penned an excellent article titled ‘Man vs. Machine – guided and non-guided approach in implantology‘ which explores how digitally pre-planning treatments can improve long-term survival rates for dental implants and deliver better results for patients.

Why are we one of the best dentists for All-on-4 implants in London?

Losing a permanent tooth doesn’t mean you have to live with it. At Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we want to help you regain your self-confidence and smile freely again with our All-on-4 dental implants.

You’re in good hands. Prof. Christian Mehl is our core specialist in implantology and prosthetics and is certified by the German Society of Prosthodontics, the German Society of Implantology and the General Dental Council as a specialist. He has undertaken hundreds of same-day dental implants and has added extensive experience in general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry.

We’ve created one of the most innovative and modern dental practices in the dental industry by refurbishing our London dental practice by combining the latest state-of-the-art technology with our highly trained and skilled team of dentists, surgeons, nurses, sedationists, technicians and administration staff.

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. But 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.

How long do All-on-4 implants last?

The lifespan of All-on-4 dental implants is one of their significant advantages. When maintained with good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, these implants can last a lifetime. Scientific studies report that the implants themselves have an impressive survival rate of up to 98% over 10 years. This durability is testament to the high-quality materials used in the implants, the skill of our dedicated dental team, and our meticulous approach to patient care.

How many teeth do you get with All-on-4 implants?

The All-on-4 treatment concept was specifically designed to replace a full set of teeth with only four dental implants. The term “All-on-4” refers to “all” teeth being supported “on four” dental implants. These four implants act as pillars for a full-arch prosthesis, replacing all your missing teeth with a new, fully functional and visually appealing set.

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.

What foods to avoid with All-on-4?

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.

Why does my dental implant hurt when I chew?

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.

Do teeth implants feel weird?

Initially, it’s normal to be aware of your new implants as your mouth adjusts to their presence. However, one of the many benefits of dental implants is their natural feel. Dental implants are designed to mimic the function and feeling of natural teeth closely. As such, within a few weeks, most patients find they no longer notice their implants at all.

Care after implant

Maintaining your dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental check-ups, are crucial to prolonging the lifespan of your implants. At our clinic, we provide personalised advice and education on best practices for oral hygiene to ensure your implants and your natural teeth remain in optimal condition.

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.

Is All-on-4 dental implant treatment going to be painful?

Dental procedures can understandably create anxiety around potential pain. However, at Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, we use the most advanced anaesthesia and sedation techniques to ensure our patients’ comfort during the procedure. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the All-on-4 implant procedure, especially when compared to traditional implant methods.

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.

All-on-4 vs Dentures

While dentures have been the go-to solution for missing teeth for many years, they come with several limitations. In contrast, All-on-4 implants provide a fixed, more natural solution. Unlike dentures, All-on-4 implants don’t require adhesive and offer better chewing efficiency, allowing you to enjoy all types of food without concern.

Discussing costs can be intimidating for some, but we want you to feel comfortable with your options.

Hi, I have been recommended to Wimpole Street Dental Clinic. Booked an appointment for check up. My Dentist was Dr. Raul Costa. During the check up, some issues were discovered. Everything was explained into detail, and with the beat solution's. On the spot Dr. Raul Costa has dealt with the minor issues, which it was really great and helpful. For my next appointment, we had to work for at least 1 and a half hour. To be honest I am not really good in sitting for so long in a dentist chiar, and doing all sorts of procedures. But Dr. Raul Costa made it look, and feel very easy taking and comfortable. To be honest at one point I did fell asleep, which this never happened to me, during dental practice to my body. I am more than happy with the results, and also with the type of quality materials used. I have already recommended the clinic and Dr. Raul Costa to a few friends and family, which they already been there, and they are very happy. Can highly recommend Wimpole Street Dental Clinic, Dr. Raul Costa and all their professional stuff. Alex

Expertise shown by Dr S Chawla was excellent, calmed any nerves I had and let me know everything that was going to happen before doing anything. Gave a detailed plan and was able to answer any question I had for him. Unfortunately 2 Bitewing X-rays did not load so was exposed to unnecessary radiation. Hope they correct this Fault for future patients.

Excellence. I can't say this enough. Just Excellence, from the moment I walked in to when I left. I was very nervous after bad experiences over many, many years with other dental practices, resulting in me not going to a dentist. The receptionists were very kind and understanding, making me feel at ease. Prof Dr Christian Mehl was extremely patient, respectful, attentive, and assuring, and he explained everything to me. My treatment was smooth and flawless, with absolutely no pain. He is, without a doubt, a true professional. I have my faith restored, but most of all, I have finally, finally found a dental clinic and a dentist I can trust. I can't thank everyone enough. I don’t normally write or trust reviews. If you are reading this, then I assure you, you can trust this one.
