All-on-4 dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement solution where an entire arch of teeth is supported by just four implants strategically placed in the jawbone. Unlike dentures, this technique allows patients to receive new, fixed teeth on the same day as their implant surgery, which is why it’s often referred to as the “smile in a day” treatment.
The implants are positioned to maximize stability - two at the front of the jaw and two angled at the back - eliminating the need for bone grafting in most cases. This provides patients with immediate, natural-looking teeth that function like real teeth and can last for many years with proper care.
The procedure is ideal for people who have multiple missing teeth, wear dentures, or need full mouth restoration. It takes 1.5-3 hours, and patients leave the clinic with fully functional new teeth the same day.
We have a full breakdown here.
When comparing All-on-4 dental implant costs, it's important to understand exactly what is included in the quoted price. At New Life Teeth, our all-inclusive package covers:
Consultation and treatment planning with an experienced implant dentist
Surgical placement of 4 - 6 implants per arch
Custom-milled Prettau Zirconia Bridge for a natural-looking smile
IV sedation for a comfortable, anxiety-free procedure
Temporary teeth to wear during the healing period

Be mindful of clinics offering surprisingly low prices, as they may use inferior materials, have hidden costs or have less experienced clinicians. Always do in-depth research on clinics and take advantage of their assessments.

The All-on-4 treatment concept allows you to replace an entire arch of missing teeth in a single day. Here's what you can expect:
You'll meet with an implant dentist to discuss your needs, preferences, and treatment plan. Scans and x-rays will be taken to assess your oral health and jawbone density.
You'll receive local anaesthesia and IV sedation to keep you comfortable during the 2-3 hour procedure. Your dentist will remove any failing teeth, and then place 4 dental implants at strategic locations to maximize support. A temporary prosthesis will be attached so you can leave with a full smile.
Over the next 3-6 months, your implants will fuse with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration. You'll wear your temporary teeth and eat a soft diet during this time.
Once your implants have fully integrated, you'll return to be fitted with your permanent Prettau Zirconia Bridge. This durable, natural-looking prosthesis will attach to your implants for a strong, stable bite.

Unfortunately, All-on-4 dental implants are not typically covered by the NHS except in extreme medical cases. Most people seeking All-on-4 will need to visit a private dentist and pay for the procedure out-of-pocket or with the help of financing. While the upfront cost may seem high, All-on-4 is a lifelong investment in your health, confidence, and overall well-being.
Some people consider getting dental implants abroad in countries like Turkey or Hungary in hopes of saving money. However, this can be risky for several reasons:
1. Overseas clinics may use inferior implants and materials to cut costs
2. Dentists may not have the same level of training and experience
3. Communication barriers can lead to misunderstandings about your treatment
4. If complications arise after you return home, it can be difficult and costly to address them
5. You may need to factor in travel and accommodations on top of the treatment price
When you add up all the potential costs and inconveniences, getting All-on-4 abroad may not save you much at all. It's best to find a reputable clinic in the UK with transparent pricing and an excellent track record.
While dentures may seem like the cheapest tooth replacement option upfront, they come with many drawbacks. Dentures are uncomfortable, limit your diet, accelerate bone loss, and need to be frequently adjusted and replaced. Over a lifetime, the cumulative costs of dentures can be significant. In contrast, All-on-4 dental implants are a permanent solution that maintains jawbone, allows you to eat without restrictions, and can last a lifetime with proper care. When you factor in the long-term costs, confidence, and quality of life that All-on-4 provides, they are a far better value than dentures.
All-on-4 dental implants require specialised training, advanced technology, and premium materials - all of which contribute to the higher cost compared to other tooth replacement options. Some factors that influence dental implant costs in the UK include:
- The skill and experience of the surgical team
- The quality of implants and prosthetic materials used
- The complexity of your case (e.g. if bone grafting is needed)
- The type of sedation or anesthesia provided
- The geographic location of the practice
- Comprehensive warranties to protect your investment
Keep in mind that with All-on-4, you are paying for a permanent solution that will dramatically improve your quality of life. While the upfront cost may seem significant, it is a worthwhile investment in your health and happiness.
When searching for an All-on-4 provider, look for the following qualities:
