All-on-4 implants London

Unlike conventional removable dentures, All-on-4 dental implants from our London dental clinic are a permanent set of teeth that are anchored into the jaw using just four strategically placed dental implants. As a result, they are more stable and provide a greater biting force than a traditional denture which means you can eat what you like without restriction.

Since they don’t press down on the gums like a regular denture, All-on-4 dental implants are also more comfortable and prevent sore patches in the mouth from developing. Furthermore, the presence of dental implants in the jaw puts a halt to any further bone loss helping to retain the shape of the jaw and ensuring your new teeth retain their fit in the years to come.

Our team of London dentists use advanced 3-D imaging techniques to assess your suitability for All-on-4 dental implants. Detailed imagery enables us to evaluate the quality, density and quantity of bone in your jaw. Around 95% of patients with or without teeth qualify for the All-on-4 dental implant procedure. In addition, virtual surgery is performed before you are even sat in the dental chair so you will be able to see the results before your surgery. Each step of the treatment is meticulously planned with the utmost precision. Your smile couldn’t be in safer hands.

This is a relatively minor surgery that’s carried out under a local anaesthetic which means that the recovery period is fairly short. The sedation will take around 4 hours to work its way out of your system so you will need to bring a friend along with you that can drive you home. You may be in some discomfort and/or experience a degree of swelling which can normally be eased with over the counter painkillers such as Nurofen or Paracetamol. You will also have to switch to a liquid and soft food diet for a few days.

Following the procedure, a temporary denture is placed onto the implants and once the implants have integrated fully with the bone, you will return to our London dental practice to have your temporary denture removed and replaced with a permanent denture. This will be even more natural-looking than your temporary set of false teeth and may contain a titanium bar for added strength and durability.
