All on 4 Dental Implants

All on 4 dental implants in Shepherds Bush

If you are struggling with failing teeth, multiple missing teeth, or uncomfortable dentures, innovative All on 4 dental implants in Shepherds Bush offer a life-changing solution. This cutting-edge technique can restore a full arch of beautiful, functional teeth using just four strategically placed dental implants, often in a single procedure. It’s a stable, long-lasting alternative that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with renewed confidence.

Understanding All on 4 dental implants and how they work?

The All on 4 dental implants concept is a modern and efficient way to replace an entire upper or lower set of teeth. Instead of needing one implant for every missing tooth, or even up to 8-10 implants for a full arch, the ‘All on 4’ technique uses only four to six high-quality titanium implants.

These implants are placed at specific angles in the jawbone. This strategic positioning allows the implants to anchor into the densest available bone at the front of the jaw, maximising support without the need for extensive bone grafting often required by traditional implant methods.

Once placed, these implants act as strong, permanent ‘roots’ to securely hold a full, fixed bridge of prosthetic teeth (your new smile). This not only provides exceptional stability, meaning no more slipping or irritation like with conventional dentures, but also helps preserve the jawbone, maintaining your facial structure and health for the long term.

Who is suitable for All on 4 dental implants treatment?

The All on 4 dental implants treatment is suitable for a wide range of patients, making it a highly accessible solution for full-arch restoration. You may be an ideal candidate if you:

• Have multiple missing or severely damaged teeth: Especially if your remaining teeth are failing due to decay, disease, or injury.
• Wear traditional dentures: If you are tired of the discomfort, instability, or inconvenience of removable dentures and want a permanent, fixed replacement.
• Have limited bone density: The innovative angled placement is specifically designed to work well even in cases of moderate bone loss, often removing the need for preliminary bone grafting surgery.
• Desire a fast, permanent solution: If you want a full-arch rehabilitation completed efficiently, often leaving with a fixed set of temporary teeth on the day of surgery.

The best way to determine your suitability is through a comprehensive consultation with our implant specialist in Shepherds Bush, who will evaluate your oral health, jawbone structure, and medical history using advanced 3D scanning technology.

What to expect during the All on Four dental implants process?

The journey to your new smile with All on 4 dental implants is typically streamlined into a few key steps:

Step 1 – initial consultation & planning: We will perform a thorough examination during your personalised consultation. We will also review your medical history and take detailed 3D images (like a CT scan) of your jawbone. This information is used to meticulously plan the precise position and angle of the four implants to ensure optimal stability and a beautiful final result.

Step 2 – implant placement day: You will receive local anaesthetic to ensure you are completely comfortable throughout the procedure, and the four titanium implants are surgically placed into your jawbone. Crucially, on the same day, a temporary but fixed set of custom-made prosthetic teeth is secured to the implants. You walk out with a new, beautiful, fixed smile!

Step 3 – healing and integration (Osseointegration): Over the next 3 to 6 months, the implants will naturally fuse with your jawbone, a process called osseointegration. This creates the permanent, solid foundation for your final teeth. During this time, you will wear the comfortable temporary teeth and follow a modified, soft-food diet to allow the implants to heal undisturbed.

Step 4 – fitting your final teeth: Once the implants are fully healed and stable, your final, custom-designed, permanent bridge is created. This bridge is made of a strong, durable material that is precisely matched to your desired aesthetics. Your permanent teeth are securely fitted to the four implants, completing your treatment. You are now free to enjoy all your favourite foods and smile with total confidence!
