All-on-4 Dental Implants

Both techniques are used to replace a full arch of missing teeth. All-on-4 uses four implants, while All-on-6 uses six for added stability. The choice depends on your oral health, bone density, and clinical needs—your dentist will advise you on the best solution.

Healing typically takes between 3 to 6 months, depending on your bone health and whether bone grafting was required. In some cases, a temporary crown or bridge can be placed on the same day for immediate aesthetics and function.

Everything can be done in-house at Hilton Dental Clinic. We use advanced technology including CBCT scans and intraoral scanners to plan and deliver your entire implant treatment without the need for referrals to external hospitals or labs.

All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement technique where a complete set of fixed teeth is supported by just four strategically placed implants. Unlike traditional dentures, your new teeth are permanently fixed — no removal, no adhesive, no instability. Most patients receive their provisional fixed teeth on the same day as surgery. All-on-4 is ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth, or who are facing teeth that can no longer be saved.

Very possibly, yes. Many patients are told they’re unsuitable for implants at general practices that don’t offer advanced bone grafting. Kamal holds the advanced certificate in implant surgery for complex cases — including block bone grafting and maxillary sinus grafting — which can create the bone volume needed for implants even where significant bone loss has occurred. If you’ve been turned away elsewhere, book a consultation and let Kamal assess what’s truly possible.

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you’ll feel no pain during surgery — just some pressure and sensation. As one of our patients told us: “the whole procedure was painless.” If you’re particularly anxious, please mention this when you book — we can discuss sedation options to help you feel completely relaxed. Post-operatively, some mild soreness and swelling is normal for a few days and is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Full jaw dental implants at Hilton Dental start from £12,500 per arch. Your consultation is free. 0% finance is available on all treatment plans. Book your free consultation to receive a personalised quote based on your specific clinical situation.

The journey begins with a free consultation and 3D scan to plan the surgery precisely. The surgical day — where your implants are placed and provisional fixed teeth fitted — typically takes a full day at our West Bridgford practice. Your final permanent restoration is fitted several months later once the implants have fully integrated. You’ll have functional fixed teeth throughout the entire healing period.

Dental implants are designed to be a lifetime solution. With proper care — regular brushing, flossing, and routine check-ups — the implant itself can last decades. The crown or bridge attached may need replacement after 10–15 years depending on wear. Implants consistently achieve success rates above 95% over 10 years.

Kamal Singh Missan is one of the most highly qualified implant surgeons in the East Midlands. He holds the DipImplantDent RCS(Eng) from the Royal College of Surgeons of England plus the advanced certificate for complex bone grafting — one of only a handful of dentists in the UK to have earned this. Other dentists refer their hardest cases to Kamal, and he trains practitioners in implant techniques. At Hilton Dental, you’re not seeing a general dentist who also places implants; you’re with a dedicated implant surgeon with over 20 years of experience at a practice that has served Nottingham for 60+ years.
