    You’re in expert hands. When it comes to Fixed-Teeth-in-a-Day procedures, our core specialist, Prof. Dr. Christian Mehl, is a leading authority in implantology and prosthodontics. He is certified by the German Society of Prosthodontics, the German Society of Implantology, and registered as Specialist by the General Dental Council.

    All on 4 / 6 same day dental implants – full mouth teeth

    Fixed-teeth-in-a-day treatment is a surgical procedure that provides 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 want to have the look of natural teeth back on the same day, without complicated bone grafting procedures. 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.

    The treatment involves inserting 4-6 implant in the jawbone to support new prosthetic teeth. You may want to consider All-on-4 dental implants if you have severe dental issues that have impacted your mouth over a long period of time, are missing several teeth, have failing teeth, or find that your dentures are uncomfortable.

    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).

    What happens on the day of the All-on-4 dental implant surgery

    If the All-on-4 dental implants are right for you, and after all the planning has taken place, you can expect the following:

    We will greet you at our clinic early in the morning, and prepare everything for you, including medication, anaesthesia and, if appropriate, sedation. From there, the surgery will begin. The timing to complete varies from patient to patient, but the surgery part takes around 2-4 hours.

    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.

    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.

    Who is suitable for All-on-4 implants?

    All-on-4 dental implants are suitable for individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth and are looking for a permanent, stable solution. This treatment is ideal for those seeking to avoid the inconvenience of traditional dentures, offering a fixed alternative that simulates the look and function of natural teeth. It’s also beneficial for patients who may not have sufficient bone density for individual implants, as the All-on-4 technique requires fewer implants and can often eliminate the need for bone grafting.

    All-on-4 dental implants are considered a good alternative to dentures due to their stability, comfort, and natural appearance. Unlike dentures, which can move and require adhesives, All-on-4 implants are securely anchored to the jawbone, offering a permanent solution that enhances chewing ability and speech clarity. They also prevent bone loss, maintaining facial structure integrity, which is not the case with traditional dentures. This makes them a preferred option for long-term oral health and functionality.

    Individuals who may not be suitable for All-on-4 dental implants include those with certain health conditions that impair healing, such as uncontrolled diabetes or severe osteoporosis, and those who heavily smoke or have a history of gum disease which might affect the stability of the implants. It’s important for patients to have a thorough assessment to determine their suitability for this procedure.

    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 a success rate of 91%, whilst 99% of the restorations are still in place – meaning that losing an implant does not mean you lose the fixed teeth. 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 give you a five-year warranty on the dentures and life-long warranties on the costs of the dental implant materials themselves if the restoration is cleaned at least once a year. 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.

    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 is much more likely to develop in smokers.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
