FULL JAW REHABILITATION
WHAT IS AN ALL-ON-FOUR/ALL-ON-SIX TREATMENT?
A complete set of new teeth fixed to dental implants can transform your smile and improve your quality of life.
Dr Adam Patel is a leading UK expert in the field of full jaw and teeth reconstruction with implants. All-on-Four or All-on-Six treatments are state of the art implant treatment techniques where four to six titanium implants are permanently fixed in place in one appointment. The number of implants placed is dependent on the available bone within your jaw, assessed on your CT scan. When you have several missing teeth, loose teeth due to gum disease or you currently wear a removable denture, a full-arch implant supported bridge is a great way to regain eating comfort and confidence in your smile.
Once the implants have stabilised and fused within the jawbone, a full set of bespoke life like teeth are designed and constructed to fit harmoniously to your implants and restore your smile.

STEP 1
INITIAL CONSULTATION
An initial consultation with Dr Adam Patel will allow you to discuss your treatment wishes, explore your treatment options and ask about any questions related to having dental implants. Dr Adam will carry out an initial clinical assessment and present all available options to meet your goals. You will be provided with a clear, concise step-by-step presentation to help you make a decision.STEP 2
STEP 2
CT SCAN
The next step involves taking a 3D CT scan of your jaw to measure your bone and assess important anatomy. You will be followed up with a comprehensive written treatment plan if you are a suitable candidate for implant treatment.STEP 3
STEP 3
CLINICAL ASSESSMENT AND SURGERY PLANNING
Oral measurements, scans and photos are taken to develop state-of-the-art precision computer guides and a decisive plan for your final implant teeth. We develop an accurate ‘digital plan’ of the final outcome prior to embarking on surgery. We go through the consent
process to ensure you fully understand your treatment plan and costings. Any further questions that you have will be answered and your surgery date will be set. You can choose to have surgery under local anaesthetic or sedation with an anaesthetist.STEP 4
STEP 4
IMPLANT SURGERY
On the day of your surgery, you will be welcomed by Dr Adam’s team and prepared for your procedure. If you are having sedation the anaesthetist will administer this and take you into a relaxed sleepy state before treatment begins. If you are having treatment under local anaesthetic you can close your eyes and relax to calming music. Dr Adam will have already completed a simulated computer guided surgery on your jaws prior to commencement to ensure your surgery is completed with utmost precision. Once the surgery is complete you will be provided with full after care instructions before being discharged. Depending on the type of surgery you will return to a normal routine within a few days.STEP 5
STEP 5
SAME DAY TEETH
If you have been selected as a candidate for same day teeth after the completion of your implant placements your full set of teeth will be constructed and fitted allowing you to leave
with fixed teeth on the same day as your surgery. These teeth will remain in place for several months to allow you to adapt to your new bite and allow your implants to fully heal beneath them.STEP 6
STEP 6
FINAL TEETH
Your implants are left to heal for approximately 12 weeks depending on bone quality at the time of placement. After this, you will have several appointments to construct and fit your final bespoke teeth. The provisional teeth placed at the time of surgery are removed and replaced with your long-term final teeth which completes your treatment.Who is suitable for all-on-four / all-on-six implant treatment?

What if I have insufficient jaw bone to place implants?
ZYGOMATIC IMPLANTS
If you have insufficient jaw bone to place conventional dental implants and do not wish to undergo major jaw bone reconstructive surgery, we utilise the zygomatic bone to place zygomatic implants rather than standard dental implants. The treatment concept and stages remain the same, only that longer implants are placed into a bone which has not been impacted by bone recession in your jaw. Dr Adam Patel is one of only a handful of UK surgeons qualified in providing the advanced surgical technique of placing zygomatic implants.
Once the implants have stabilised and fused within the jawbone, a full set of bespoke life like teeth are designed and constructed to fit harmoniously to your implants and restore your smile.
Who is suitable for all-on-four / all-on-six implant treatment with zygomatic implants?
- Patients who wear dentures
- Patients with loose and failing teeth
- Patients with advanced Gum disease
- Patients with no teeth
- Patients with severe bone loss
- Patients deemed unsuitable for conventional dental implants
WHAT IS SAME DAY TEETH?
Same Day Teeth treatment is an advanced state of the art dental implant procedure that allows you to have a fixed set of teeth customised and fitted on the same appointment as having the implants placed. After your implants have been placed, a fixed implant bridge is fitted on the same day, allowing you to leave surgery with a new smile. We utilise digitally guided surgical software to plan and place your implants.
These teeth will remain in place for several months to allow you to adapt to your new bite and allow your implants to fully heal beneath them. After the healing phase, you will have several appointments to construct, refine and fit your final bespoke teeth. The provisional teeth placed at the time of surgery are removed and replaced with your long-term final teeth which completes your treatment.
