All-on-4 Dental Implants: Permanent Dentures with Dr Elliot at Skye Dental

If you’re missing most or all of your teeth and want a long-term, fixed solution that looks and feels natural, All-on-4 dental implants may be the answer. Unlike traditional dentures that can shift, rub or feel unstable, All-on-4 offers a full-arch restoration supported by just four strategically placed implants. At Skye Dental, our implant dentistry services with experience, compassion and a strong focus on delivering natural-looking results that restore both function and confidence.

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 is a modern dental solution for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. The procedure involves placing four titanium implants into the jawbone, two near the front of the mouth and two angled towards the back. These four implants support a full-arch fixed prosthesis (bridge), allowing patients to leave with new teeth often on the same day as surgery.

This technique avoids the need for bone grafting in many cases and takes advantage of the denser bone at the front of the jaw. It’s ideal for patients who may have been told they don’t have enough bone for traditional implants.

Key Benefits of All-on-4

Immediate Functionality

All-on-4 allows for immediate loading of a temporary prosthesis, meaning patients can speak, smile, and eat soft foods soon after the procedure.

Fewer Implants, Faster Recovery

With only four implants needed, surgery time is reduced, and healing tends to be faster and more comfortable.

Stable and Natural Look

Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 restorations are fixed in place, providing excellent chewing stability and a smile that closely mimics natural teeth.

Cost-Effective for Full-Arch Replacement

Using fewer implants to support a full arch reduces costs compared to placing individual implants for each missing tooth.

Who Is a Good Candidate for All-on-4?

This treatment is ideal for patients who:

Tick

Have multiple missing or failing teeth

Tick

Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures

Tick

Have sufficient bone in the front of the jaw (or want to avoid bone grafting)

Tick

Are in good general health and want a long-term solution

If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for traditional implants due to bone loss, All-on-4 may still be a viable option. A comprehensive consultation and 3D imaging at Skye Dental will determine your suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the All-on-4 procedure take?

From consultation to surgery, it varies, but many patients receive their temporary teeth on the same day as implant placement.

Is the procedure painful?

The surgery is done under local anaesthesia, with sedation options available. Most patients report mild discomfort manageable with pain relief.

How long do All-on-4 implants last?

With proper care, the implants themselves can last decades. The bridge may need replacement after 10–15 years depending on wear.

Can I eat normally?

Yes. After the initial healing period, patients can enjoy a wide variety of foods with confidence.
