A Full, Fixed Smile, Built Around You
If you're missing most or all of your teeth, or you're facing a full-mouth extraction, you don't need to settle for a removable denture. All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants give you a fixed set of teeth, anchored to just four or six implants and planned around your own bite and bone.
What Is All-on-4 / All-on-6?
All-on-4 and All-on-6 are full-arch implant treatments that replace an entire row of missing, failing or extracted teeth with one fixed prosthetic arch, supported by four or six carefully placed implants, rather than one implant per tooth.
For most patients, the goal is teeth that look, feel and function like their own, without the movement or bulk of a removable denture.

More Than Just Replacing Teeth
Looks & Feels Natural
Designed to match your face shape, bite and gum line, so your new smile sits comfortably with the rest of you.
No Slipping or Clicking
Because the bridge is fixed to implants rather than resting on your gums, there's no denture movement when eating or speaking.
Supports Your Jaw Bone
Implants stimulate the jaw bone the way natural tooth roots do, which can help reduce the bone loss that often follows missing teeth.
Fewer Implants Needed
Rather than one implant per missing tooth, just four or six implants support a full arch, meaning less surgery overall.
Fixed Teeth From Day One
In many cases, a fixed provisional bridge can be fitted on the day of surgery, so you're not left without teeth while you heal.
Made to Last
With proper care and regular check-ups, All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants are designed to be a long-term, durable solution.
You Might Be a Candidate If...

Opening Hours
Your Treatment Journey
Assessment & Planning
A 3D CT scan and consultation with Dr Jamie Do to understand your bone structure and map out a treatment plan around your needs.
Implant Placement
Under sedation or general anaesthesia, four or six implants are placed at carefully planned angles to support your new arch.
Fixed Provisional Bridge
A temporary but fully fixed bridge is fitted, often on the same day, so you leave with a functional set of teeth.
Final Restoration
Once your implants have had time to settle into the bone, your custom-milled permanent bridge is fitted.
Recovery Timeline
Some swelling, bruising and mild discomfort are common. Pain relief and a soft diet will help keep you comfortable.
Swelling generally settles and you'll come back in for a review, so we can check on your healing and the fit of your provisional bridge.
Your implants gradually fuse with the jaw bone, a process called osseointegration, while you eat and speak on the provisional bridge.
Your final, custom-milled permanent bridge is fitted, rounding out your full-arch restoration.
Aftercare Guidance
Do
- Stick to soft foods for the first few days after surgery
- Take prescribed pain relief and antibiotics as directed
- Use a cold compress to help manage swelling in the first 48 hours
- Keep the surgical area clean, as advised by your dentist
- Attend all scheduled follow-up and review appointments
Avoid
- Hard, crunchy or sticky foods while you're healing
- Smoking, which can slow healing and affect how well implants settle
- Vigorous rinsing or spitting in the first 24 hours
- Strenuous exercise for the first few days after surgery
- Skipping check-ups, even once you feel back to normal

All-on-4 & All-on-6 FAQs
What's the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?
Both replace a full arch of teeth with a fixed bridge. All-on-4 uses four implants and is often suited to patients with reduced bone density, while All-on-6 uses six implants for extra support in patients with sufficient bone volume and higher bite forces. Your dentist will talk through the right option with you after reviewing your CT scan.
Am I too old, or is my bone loss too advanced, for full-arch implants?
Age alone rarely rules out treatment. What matters most is your general health and the bone you have available. Many patients with significant bone loss are still considered good candidates for All-on-4, since it's designed to make use of the denser bone at the front of the jaw. A CT scan and consultation will help confirm what's suitable for you.
Will I be without teeth during treatment?
In most cases, no. A fixed provisional bridge is fitted on the day of your implant surgery, so you leave with a functional, fixed set of teeth while your implants heal and settle into the bone.
How long does the whole process take?
Surgery and fitting of the provisional bridge typically happen in a single visit. Healing and integration of the implants generally takes around four to six months, after which your final permanent bridge is fitted.
Is the procedure painful?
Your procedure is carried out under sedation or general anaesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout. Some swelling, bruising and mild discomfort are common afterwards, and these are managed with prescribed pain relief.
How do I look after my All-on-4 or All-on-6 implants long-term?
Daily brushing, using the cleaning tools we recommend around your bridge, and keeping up with regular check-ups and professional cleans all support the long-term success of your implants, along with avoiding smoking where possible.
