If you’ve just discovered this page, you might be wondering what All-on-4 actually means. In simple terms, All-on-4 is a revolutionary dental implant treatment designed to restore a full arch of missing or failing teeth — using just four implants to securely support a brand-new set of fixed teeth.
This technique offers a life-changing solution for people who are struggling with dentures, loose teeth, or advanced dental problems. It can often be completed in just one day, giving you back a full, stable, and natural-looking smile without the long wait times of traditional implant methods.
At Seaham Smiles, we also offer All-on-X, a more tailored version of the same concept. Instead of being limited to four implants, we use the number of implants best suited to your unique needs — whether that’s 4, 5, 6, or more — to ensure the strongest foundation and best long-term outcome for your smile.
No two smiles are the same, which is why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. From your very first consultation, we’ll help you understand your options and recommend the right treatment for you.
This patient arrived with severely broken, decayed, and missing teeth, significantly affecting their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Using advanced imaging and planning, the Seaham Smiles team placed secure implants to support a full-arch restoration.
Here is one of our patients who faced a dental setback – a fractured upper central tooth at the gum level. Seeking a solution, he came to see Nigel for guidance. After a thorough consultation, he decided on a dental implant. Nigel placed the dental implant and carried out a gum graft, and the finishing touch? A dazzling zirconia crown that seamlessly replaced the gap! His smile is now restored, and he can smile and eat with confidence.
We’re thrilled to share the story of a patient who recently transformed their smile with an FP1 immediately loaded bridge at our practice. This advanced treatment replaces missing teeth with a natural-looking, functional bridge — all in a single day. After a personalised consultation and precise implant placement, a temporary bridge is attached immediately, giving you a beautiful, confident smile while your implants heal. Once healing is complete, we fit a custom-made permanent bridge designed for long-lasting comfort, stability, and seamless aesthetics.
Nigel placed 4 implants to hold 2 bridges at the back of the mouth to restore the patient's bite. The front teeth were very worn as they were being used for chewing. After Nigel replaced the back teeth, it meant we could predictably restore the front ones with beautiful zirconia crowns.
“After my accident, Nigel kindly saw me at the earliest opportunity, which I truly appreciated. The care I received from Nigel and the nursing team was outstanding, and their willingness to see me at short notice convinced me to continue my treatment at Seaham Smiles. Despite the complexity of the work, including surgery, Nigel and Elisha made me feel completely at ease thanks to their expertise and the warm, friendly atmosphere. Even though I live 15 miles away with many dentists closer to home, I choose Seaham Smiles — a true testament to the exceptional care and quality of the team.”
This patient suffered from a facial trauma many years ago, which resulted in her front tooth breaking. It meant she struggled to bite into things as she was worried the tooth would snap. After a few years, the tooth needed to be removed as it became infected. Nigel removed the tooth and placed a dental implant and attached a new temporary tooth on the implant, all on the same day. This meant the patient didn’t have to have a gap or a removable tooth. After 3 months, Nigel attached a zirconia crown to the implant, and our patient can smile and eat with confidence – something she has not been able to do in years!
This patient was unhappy with his existing smile, and he visited us to see how we could help. Nigel extracted the patient's upper and lower front teeth and placed dental implant bridges alongside veneers on his canine teeth. What an amazing transformation!

All-on-4 is a full-arch dental implant solution that uses just four implants to support a complete set of fixed replacement teeth. It’s designed to restore your smile and function in a single day, providing a secure, natural-looking alternative to removable dentures.
Most adults with multiple missing or failing teeth, or those struggling with loose dentures, are suitable candidates for All-on-4. We will carry out a detailed assessment and scan to check your bone health and create a tailored treatment plan.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and we also offer IV sedation for a relaxed, pain-free experience. Some mild discomfort or swelling after treatment is normal, but this usually settles within a few days.
With proper home care and regular professional maintenance, All-on-4 implants can last many years — often decades.
Costs can vary depending on your individual needs, but as a guide, All-on-4 treatment starts from £15,995 per jaw.
We offer a free consultation so you can receive a personalised treatment plan with clear, upfront pricing. For added peace of mind, flexible finance options are also available — making it easier to spread the cost in a way that suits you.
In more complex cases, your treatment plan and pricing may differ slightly, but we’ll always discuss everything with you before moving forward.
