Teeth in a Day with All-on-4 Dental Implants
Living with loose dentures or failing teeth can take a toll. Our Teeth in a Day treatment using the All-on-4 dental implant system can completely transform your smile and your confidence in a single appointment.
At Erskine Dental Care, we help patients from across Glasgow and the West Coast of Scotland regain a confident smile with fixed, long-lasting teeth that look and feel like the real thing.
What are All-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 is an advanced dental implant procedure that replaces a full arch of missing or damaged teeth using just four titanium implants. These four implants support a complete set of new teeth. They are positioned vertically at the front of the jaw and two are angled at the back to maximise contact with available bone.
We use this technique to stabilise your new teeth quickly and as comfortably, with no need for removable dentures or waiting months for results.
One of the key advantages of the All-on-4 approach is that bone grafting is often not required. The posterior implants are angled specifically to work with the bone you have, even if some loss has occurred. This makes it a viable tooth replacement option for a wider range of people than traditional dental implants, which require one implant per tooth.
What to expect from All-on-Four implants
Once you’re happy with your personalised treatment plan, you’re now ready to progress with the next steps in your Teeth In a Day journey. Every case is planned individually, but the process generally follows these stages.
Free consultation
We’ll start with a full assessment, including your dental and medical history, to determine suitability. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, see similar patient results, and understand your options.
Treatment day
On the day of your procedure, we’ll place your implants and fit a comfortable, secure set of temporary teeth – all in a single visit.
Final smile
After a healing period, we’ll fit your final set of custom-made, permanent teeth, perfectly tailored to give you a natural-looking smile.
What are the benefits of teeth in a day?
A study published in BMC Oral Health found that patients receiving implant-supported restorations reported significant improvements in eating, speaking, social confidence, and overall quality of life. For many, it wasn’t just their teeth that changed. It was how they felt walking into a room. All-on-4 dental implants were developed to deliver fixed, functional teeth from a single appointment.
Think of conventional tooth replacement like renting versus owning. Unlike removable dentures, which can shift and require nightly removal, all-on-4 dental implants are a permanent solution, fixed to your jawbone, cared for like natural teeth, and designed to last.
Teeth in a Day has several advantages over traditional dental implant treatments:
- Immediate results: You leave the clinic with a full set of teeth the same day.
- Permanently fixed and secure: No slipping, clicking, or removable dentures at the end of the day
- Natural-looking teeth: Your new teeth are designed to look just like your natural teeth.
- Restored function: Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling confidently again.
- Fewer appointments: With Teeth in a Day, you reduce the need for multiple dental visits.
- Long-lasting solution: When cared for properly, your implants can last a lifetime.
- Suitable for a wider range of patients: Works for patients who have been told they’re not a candidate for conventional implant procedures.
- Jawbone preservation: The implants stimulate the bone, which can help slow the bone loss that typically follows tooth loss if you wear dentures.

Is All-on-4 dental implants treatment right for you?
Teeth in a Day is suitable for many adults who have:
- Have multiple missing teeth or failing bridges
- Struggle with loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Want a fixed, long-term solution without multiple surgeries
- Some degree of bone loss, which does not automatically rule out treatment
Even if you’ve been told in the past that implants aren’t suitable, advances in the All-on-4 system may now make it possible. Suitability depends on factors such as overall health, jawbone density, and whether remaining teeth need to be addressed first. We’ll walk you through everything at your initial consultation.

How All-on-4 implants differs from traditional dental implants
Patients often ask how All-on-4 compares to placing a full set of individual implants. The difference comes down to the approach, timing, and cost. With traditional dental implants, each missing tooth requires its own implant, meaning more surgical stages, more healing time, and a longer overall timeline. All-on-4 uses just four implants per arch, strategically positioned to support a full set of teeth in a single procedure.
The All-on-4 approach also avoids the need for bone grafting in many cases. Since the posterior implants are angled to engage a larger area of bone, the procedure works well even in the upper or lower jaw where bone density may have been reduced after tooth loss. This is one reason why patients who have been turned away elsewhere often find they are still suitable for treatment at our dental practice.
Aftercare for your All-on-4 teeth implants
After your treatment, you’ll receive detailed instructions on how to care for your temporary teeth during the healing period. This involves sticking to soft foods for several weeks while the implants settle.
Once your final restoration is in place, caring for your implants is straightforward:
- Brushing twice daily
- Floss around the implant bridge
- Attend regular check-ups
With proper care and regular hygiene visits to maintain your implants, they can support a restoration for many years. According to Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, dental implants have a success rate of up to 95% over 15 years in patients with healthy mouths. This makes them one of the most reliable long-term solutions for tooth replacement available today.
Your dedicated treatment coordinator will be there throughout the process to make the experience as straightforward as possible.
This treatment is suitable for most adults who have missing or damaged teeth. It’s particularly effective for people replacing full dentures, whether in the upper, lower, or both jaws.
However, some conditions might affect your suitability for the procedure. For example, if you’re a smoker, have gum disease, or have a weakened immune system, you may need alternative treatment. Your dentist will assess your jawbone and overall oral health to determine if Teeth in a Day is right for you.
The Teeth in a Day procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic or sedation for nervous patients, so you might not feel pain during the treatment. After the procedure, there may be some discomfort, but it’s manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. You can also read our patient testimonials to hear from people who’ve been through it.
Although you get your new teeth the same day, the implants take about 3-4 months to fully integrate with your jawbone. During this healing period, you’ll wear temporary teeth until your permanent set is ready.
Like any surgery, there are risks, but complications with Teeth in a Day are rare. Your dentist will discuss any potential risks with you during your consultation.
