All on 4 Dental Implants - Teeth in a Day in Yorkshire

All-on-4 dental implants use 4 implants to secure a full arch of around 10 teeth to your upper jaw. This is the minimum amount of implants required to make upper jaw teeth replacement a success.
Dental implant bridges and overdentures do not need an implant for each tooth being replaced. Instead these can be secured on a smaller number of implants meaning less surgery for the same result. For example a full arch of teeth can be secured on just 4 implants. This is commonly called all-on-4 dental implants.

Unlike traditional implants, which often require 6-8 implants per arch and may need bone grafting, All-on-4 uses only four implants per jaw, strategically placed to maximize bone support and allow for same-day teeth placement.

• People with multiple missing or failing teeth
• Those who struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures
• Patients with bone loss (as All-on-4 can often be placed without bone grafting)
• Anyone looking for a permanent, long-term solution to missing teeth

The full process—from your initial consultation through surgery to the placement of the permanent prosthesis—typically spans several months (often 3–6 months or more, depending on healing and individual factors).

However, with modern immediate load or same-day dental implants (also known as “Teeth in a Day”), most patients receive a fixed temporary set of teeth right on the same day as their implant placement surgery. This provides immediate functionality, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently while your implants integrate with the jawbone during the healing phase leading to the final restoration.

This combination of a streamlined timeline and same-day temporary teeth makes the treatment far more convenient than traditional methods, minimizing downtime and avoiding extended periods without teeth.
