All-on-4 implants are used to support a full denture bridge. They are an excellent alternative to dentures as fewer implants are used and are faster and more affordable.
They are especially suitable for patients who are missing multiple teeth in a row and would like to have all of them replaced in one hassle-free, seamless procedure.

What Does the Procedure Involve?
Stage 1: Consultation
-
Detailed Exploration of Concerns
When you attend your consultation at Nuffield Dental, our team of specialists will discuss all your concerns to ascertain if you are suitable for an All-on-4 surgery.
- Full Dental Assessment
Our dentist will thoroughly examine your general health condition, as well as the condition of your teeth and gums. This may include having to take some X-rays and CBCT scans to assess your suitability for the All-on-4 dental implants system or other treatment options.
- Individualised Treatment Plan
Our specialists will hereafter thoroughly explain your condition, the benefits and risks of each of the possible options, and tailor a final treatment plan after consulting with you.
Stage 3: Post-operative
Your body requires a few days to accept the implant. You will then be required to come down for a second appointment for the dentist to access the healing process.
Stage 2: All-on-4 Procedure
- Anaesthesia
Before commencing, the relevant areas will be completely numbed with local anaesthesia, so that you will not feel any pain at all during the whole procedure, only some pressure or vibrations.
- All-on-4 Procedure
Our dentist will first carry out any necessary extractions of the relevant teeth. Thereafter, he or she will precisely place suitably-sized All-on-4 implant fixtures into your jaw bone.
- Interim All-on-4 Bridge Prostheses
Our in-house laboratory will then proceed to custom-make your interim All-on-4 bridge prostheses. These will be fitted to your implant fixtures in the same sitting, successfully restoring your smile, form, and function on the same day.
Maintaining an All-on-4
- Consistently maintain excellent oral hygiene;
- Maintain good gum health;
- Regularly have dental check-ups;
- Do not place excessive biting forces on the implant due to a dysfunctional bite or by grinding their teeth;
- Do not smoke.
