Have you got missing teeth, but were previously told that you’re not a suitable candidate for dental implants?
We have just the solution here at Al-FaPerio.
All-on-4 is a dental implant treatment commonly used in cases where all the teeth are missing in an arch (edentulous), or a patient has a terminal dentition where the plan is to extract all the remaining teeth.
In the past, you may have been told you don’t have sufficient bone density to support dental implants, but with all-on-4, you won’t need any grafts or additional treatments to determine your suitability.

Understanding Our All-on-4 Treatment
The concept of all-on-4 dental implants was first introduced in 1998 and has increased in popularity due to its simplistic yet efficient nature.
The treatment commonly uses four implants to support a fixed prosthesis like a bridge, which can hold between 10 and 14 teeth, depending on the individual circumstances.
All-on-4 implants are ideal for patients with several missing teeth, teeth that are severely decayed, or teeth that are compromised due to gum disease, as they can provide a natural-looking and long-lasting new smile.
Once you’ve had your initial consultation and determined that all-on-4 is the most suitable option for you, we should be able to fit your smile in just one appointment – so you can walk away and show off your smile on the very same day!
After your surgery, we’ll provide all the necessary aftercare advice and invite you back to the practice to see how you’re getting on with your dental implants.
The Benefits of a Dental Implant
- Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatment: The all-on-4 technique rehabilitates a full arch using only four dental implants; therefore, it is minimally invasive with limited required surgical time.
- Immediate Loading: The new teeth can be used within 24 hours of surgery with immediate loading implants. The placement of the dental implant, the abutment and the bridge are all secured in the mouth on the same day of surgery. The patient can leave the practice and use the teeth straight away. This concept is called immediate loading or immediate function.
- Use of Angulated or Tilted Implants: The all-on-4 procedure requires no additional bone or gum grafts. This is because it makes use of specially tilted or angulated implant abutments which avoids the problem of not having sufficient bone. It is used to overcome structural and anatomical deficiencies. The implant is placed in a position that is correct for the type and quantity of bone, while the implant tooth is placed in the position that is correct for aesthetics and function. This concept has revolutionised how we restore edentulous cases.
- Reduced Need for Additional Procedures Like Gum and Bone Grafts: This is a simple treatment that only requires four implants and no further procedures.
- Affordable: Since only four implants are used to restore the entire arch, this is a very cost-effective treatment.
- Higher Rate of Patient Satisfaction: As patients can eat and chew soon after surgery and do not have to wait for an integration period, there is a considerable comfort and satisfaction rate with this treatment. With traditional implant treatments, patients are often waiting from three to eight months before the definitive prosthesis is provided. Hence, All-on-4 offers a rapid sense of satisfaction with a speedy return to normality with regards to chewing, aesthetics and self-esteem.
All-on-4 implants made affordable at Al-Fa Perio
All varieties of dental implants are expensive. There’s no denying it.
With the placement of a singular dental implant costing over £1,000, you can only imagine how much it costs to replace an entire set of teeth.
However, here at Al-Fa Perio, we believe that everyone should have access to high-quality dental treatments, and that nobody should let the cost of treatment hold them back from achieving their dream smile.
This is why we give our patients the option to cover the cost of their all-on-4 dental implant treatment with interest-free monthly repayments – making the treatment more affordable than ever.

The difference between all-on-4 dental implants and other implants
There is a range of unique features when it comes to all-on-4 dental implants, but perhaps the most obvious thing that sets them apart from traditional dental implants is that they can offer between 10 and 14 new teeth, with only four implants required.
This means you can get a full smile with minimally invasive surgery, in a shorter time frame than normal implants.
All-on-4 implants can transform your smile in a day, which is much faster than other types of implants. With a much faster recovery process, a brand-new smile will be yours to show off in no time.
If you’re suffering from tooth loss, all-on-4 dental implants are a fantastic option that can preserve your face and jaw structure, whilst giving you the confidence to smile for family photos, laugh with friends, and chat with colleagues.
