Procedure for all-on-4 dental implants in Shepperton

Start the process with a free and non-obligatory consultation

Free consultation

At your free consultation you will meet with our dental implantologist who will tell you in more detail about the process for all-on-4 dental implants. We will talk through the options for missing teeth and go over your medical history. Your mouth, teeth and gums will be given a thorough assessment and you may be given x-rays too.

All-on-4 dental implant surgery

You will be given a local anaesthetic in your mouth so that you cannot feel anything. If you have any decayed or damaged teeth, they will be extracted at this time. Next, 4 dental implants are gently embedded into your upper or lower jaw. Finally, a temporary fixed bridge is attached to your dental implants so that you can leave the dental surgery in Shepperton with a new smile.

Healing

Your mouth will feel much better in a day or two, but we need to leave your gums to heal and essentially, allow your dental implants to fuse to your jawbone. Whilst this is happening, your custom-made bridge will be made in our dental laboratory.

Fitting your bridge

Once your implants have healed, you will be invited back to Shepperton Dental Surgery for the fitting of your bespoke dental bridge.

Maintenance

You will need to take good care of your new teeth to ensure the success of your dental implants and to promote their longevity too. Brush and floss as usual and be sure to see your dentist and hygienist at regular intervals.
