What are All on 4 Dental Implants?
The All on 4 concept is the easiest, quickest and most practical way to receive a whole set of new teeth which allow you to eat easily. They are secured with 4 implants, which are carefully and safely positioned in your lower or upper jaw.
Placement of All on 4 dental implants
Before treatment commences a consultation with our Implant Specialist Dr Carl Manhem will be held. This is your opportunity to ask any questions and for them to find if you are suitable for All on 4 dental implants. We will explain how the treatment works and arrange an appointment when the implants can be placed.
After around 6 months the implants will have healed and integrated into the bone fully and your permanent restorations can be attached.

How are All on 4 implants different to normal dental implants?
All on 4 dental implants are unlike traditional implants because 4 implants are used to sustain a whole arch, when usually between 6 and 10 implants are needed to maintain an entire arch. As only 4 implants are needed the procedure is quicker and less invasive.
Benefits of All on 4 dental implants
All on 4 implants have many benefits. As just 4 implants are required to sustain a whole arch the procedure is quicker and less invasive and fewer visits to the dentist are required. All on 4 implants are also beneficial because new temporary teeth can be fitted at the same appointment as the implants, also called ‘Teeth in Day’, meaning that you can show off your new smile straightaway. There is also rarely any need for bone grafting and All on 4 implants create an attractive aesthetic, as well as restoring optimum function.
