All-on-4 refers to the placement of 4 (or in some cases, 6) implants, which support a whole arch of teeth in place. It’s a time-saving and reliable implant-based treatment that meets the needs of patients with very few (or none) of their own natural teeth remaining.
All-on-4 ‘Smile in a Day’ treatment is your second chance at getting your smile back, in one single appointment.
How Will All-On-4 Implant Benefit Me?
- Brand new set of teeth on the same day as implant placement.
- Lifetime treatment success.
- Natural-looking results.
- No more chewing and speech difficulties.
- Reduces jawbone shrinkage.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a full replacement for a tooth root, made from biofriendly titanium. Once implanted into the jaw, the implant takes on the role of the absent tooth root.
Your newly implanted implants will be the foundation for custom-made dentures or a fixed bridge. This is much more favourable than traditional dentures and bridges, which use weaker forces (suction, and the support of neighbouring teeth, respectively) to remain in position. In the case of dentures, this leads to teeth moving out of position when you chew, whilst bridges can damage the structure of the supporting teeth needed to fix it in place.
Implants are:
- Non-destructive to your teeth.
- A fixed and firm tooth replacement treatment.
- Biocompatible.
- Reliable (95+ success rate).

1. What is All-on-4?
2. Is All-On-4 Better Than Single Tooth Implants?
With All-on-4, as few as 4 implants can support a whole arch of teeth. The implants are placed at pre-determined angles that allow for this.
If you are having one or two entire arches of teeth replaced, this is much more cost-effective than single implants, as each implant corresponds to one individual tooth.
With the All-on-4 (Smile in a Day) method, you can leave the practice with a temporary set of functional teeth. This is not possible with single implants.
