All-on-4 & dental implants
Fixed teeth, fitted the day the old ones come out.
The treatment other offices refer out. Placed and restored here by a Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists — usually in a single appointment.

The treatment we're known for
All-on-4: a full arch of fixed teeth, secured on four implants.
Conventional implant work replaces teeth one at a time and can run the better part of a year. All-on-4 carries a whole arch on four implants — the two at the back angled forward to catch bone that's still dense, which is why most patients avoid the graft they were told they'd need. The bridge goes on the same day.

Consultation & 3D scan
Twenty minutes and a CT scan settle what's guesswork everywhere else: bone height, nerve position, which teeth are still worth keeping. You go home with a written sequence and a price — a number, not a range.

Digital smile design
Your new teeth are drawn on screen first — length, shape, midline, how much shows when you laugh. If something isn't right, we change it there. Not in your mouth.
- 03
Placement day
Failing teeth out, four implants in, fixed bridge on. One appointment, local anaesthetic, home the same afternoon — and you eat dinner with teeth in.
- 04
Healing, then the final bridge
A few weeks of softer food while the implants fuse to bone. Once they're solid the provisional comes off and the definitive bridge goes on. After that you're a cleanings patient like everyone else.
The procedure, start to finish
What actually happens when an implant goes in.
Six stages, months apart, most of them shorter than the appointment you imagined. It plays on its own — or pick a stage.
- 01
3D scan and planning
A CT scan maps bone height, width and nerve position. The implant is placed on screen, in software, before it is placed in you.
- 02
Preparing the site
Guided by that plan, the site is opened and shaped to the exact width and depth the implant needs — no more, no less.
- 03
Placing the implant
The titanium root goes in along the planned axis, to the planned depth. Local anaesthetic, and you feel pressure rather than pain.
- 04
Checking position and stability
Angle, depth, fit and primary stability are measured and confirmed before anything is built on top of the implant.
- 05
Integration and healing
Over the following months bone grows onto the titanium surface and locks it in place. This is the part that cannot be rushed.
- 06
The crown goes on
The final crown is fitted to the implant. It looks like a tooth because it works like one — you bite with it, you floss around it, you forget about it.
