Especially if you have lost a number of teeth or are fed up with dentures or bridgework that feels uncomfortable.
What is the All-on-4 dental implant system?
The All-on-4 implant system facilitates the placement of a whole row of teeth by using just 2-4 implants instead of a single implant for each tooth in need of replacement.
The implants are positioned at specific pre-determined angles within the most volume-rich areas of the jaw. This angling technique means fewer implants need to be used, as your dentist will harness the strength and stability of isolated areas of the jawbone.
No, this isn’t an exaggeration or a gimmick. With an All-on-4 implant, it’s possible to get a new set of teeth in just one appointment. Following your implant surgery day, you will be given a new set of temporary teeth to wear. After the healing process of 3-9 months, these are replaced with your permanent teeth.
You will have a set of teeth throughout the whole process
One of the biggest factors deterring patients from seeking treatment to replace old or damaged bridges and dentures is the prospect of going toothless for weeks or months.
All-on-4 tackles this problem by providing patients with a set of teeth right after surgery. This is a huge confidence booster and motivational factor for going ahead with treatment.
No limitations when you speak and eat
Having the freedom to eat without the anxiety that your dentures will make an unwelcome exit from along your gum line should be something all of our patients experience.
With All-on-4 dental implants, this becomes a reality. You will be able to bite down on any food you like without feeling scared that your dentures will dislodge. Your speech clarity will also significantly improve, especially if you are undergoing full mouth reconstruction with All-on-4 implants.
Maintain your jawbone structure
All-on-4 implants are placed directly into the jawbone. This protective and preventive technique ensures your jawbone doesn’t recede and causes structural changes to your lower face. This is a common issue with unsupported traditional dentures; as the jawbone shrinks, the dentures no longer fit, and the lower jaw changes shape to look aged.
95%+ success rate
The implant systems we use are supported by decades of research and testing, so it’s no wonder the success rate is so high for our patients. We use the Sweden & Martina, Straumann and Neodent implant systems.
Spread the cost of your dental implant treatment to ensure it makes financial sense for you.
Your All-on-4 implants journey
Step 1: Consultation
Your full consultation is when we will explain the treatment and take CBCT scans, X-rays and photographs of your mouth and jaw. We will present you with a treatment plan in the days after your consultation if you are eligible for treatment.
Step 2: Implant placement
Dental implants are placed under local anaesthetic by an Implant Dentist. This process takes approximately 1-2 hours. Once your implants have been placed in the jaw, the healing period will begin right away. During this time, the jawbone grows around the implants, treating them as if they were a real tooth root.
Step 3: Tooth design
Your fixed bridge is designed using the digital impressions and photographs we took of your teeth during the planning stages of treatment. Your dentist will consult with you about the shade you wish your new teeth to be and show you a mock-up of how your new teeth will appear when they are screwed into the implants.
Step 4: Permanent teeth
Your permanent teeth are ready to be fitted after the jaw has fully integrated with the implants.
FAQs
Are All-on-4 implants permanent?
The implants themselves have the potential to be a permanent answer to tooth loss, lasting for 30+ years within the jaw. The biggest threat to your implants is peri-implantitis, a version of gum disease that affects implants only. Regular hygienist appointments, cleaning around your implants correctly and stopping smoking will help your implants stand the test of time.
Am I suitable for All-on-4 dental implants?
A consultation with our professional dentists in Derby will establish if you are a good candidate for dental implants. Your general medical background and oral health will need to be assessed.

I wanted the right option for my circumstances to straighten my teeth. I got great advice and decided Invisalign was the right choice. All my concerns were answered and even an additional appointment to go through finer details were given to ensure I was happy and confident in my choice. The staff and dentists have been great. I look forward to my future visits as I'm just starting the Invisalign process.
Two teeth removed and preparation work for implants and a bridge. I was made to feel so at ease by my dentist, his use of technology in the scanning and investigation stages of my treatment showed how much dentistry has moved forward recently. I’d recommend these people for any works that you may need doing
I recently joined the Practice and I must say, as dentists go, it was a please experience. Easy to park, appointment on time and my treatment explained clearly and professionally. Follow up appointment booked to fit my diary. Highly recommended
Been attending this dental practice for over 2 years now. They are fab, couldn't ask for a more compatonate team. They are all very welcoming and put you at ease. Asked about retainer's in my appointment and they did the moulds there and then, that made my life so much easier even though i was fully prepared to book a separate appointment for them.The practice is clean and very well presented over all i highly recommend them.
I joined Ashbourne Dental after moving to the area. I’m very impressed with the level of care and quality of work by Dr Ahmad. He has been clear and transparent in explaining the process and treatment needed whilst also making me feel comfortable and at ease during the treatment. I had some major treatment and didn’t have any pain or discomfort. I would highly recommend this practice and Dr Ahmad for anyone looking for a new dentist!
Today was my first appointment with Ashbourne Road Dental and I was very impressed! The Reception staff were very helpful, polite and well organised. The building itself is lovely and very clean! I had my appointment with Benish who was absolutely lovely! She was so informative and made me feel at ease about the treatment I needed. I would definitely recommend this practice!
I have just had my second appointment at the dentist and i have had such a great experience both time! This time i got my 9 month baby as well to have a check up to whilst i registered her and everyone was so nice and friendly and the Dr was amazing with her, my little one smiling and behaved for the Dr, definitely recommend!!
I have been visiting this dental practice for years now and in that time had a number of different dentists. My present, Dr Dawud Ahmad is keeping up the tradition of excellent service with a very friendly manner which puts me at ease.I especially like that he takes that little extra time on my six monthly checkups to give my teeth a quick clean, creating the feeling of value for money as well as a great service.
Incredible experience, as someone that was very nervous about visiting the hygienist, Dawud and the team put me at ease from the moment I walked in! They were happy to answer my questions and supported me with my flossing technique. Thankyou!!
I am a nervous patient but i am put at ease, very welcoming and professional. Always gives advice, considerate as always asks if I'd like him stop. Very good practice.
The reception staff are always friendly and professional and the dentist/nurse always put you at ease. I used to be afraid of going to the dentist but doesn't bother me now because I know I'm in safe hands.
I've been registered with this dental practice since 2010, when it was called Cunningham and Associates. I've always received a good standard of care, professionalism, and courtesy. I recommended them highly.
Very efficient reception team before and after the appointment.The Dentist and Dental Nurse involved me fully in my care. I was informed of the processes that were involved in my treatment. The Dentist and Dental Nurse were friendly, welcoming and supportive.Would definitely recommend
We had the dentist come to nursery to speak to our pre school children for national oral health day. The staff were amazing with the children talking to them and showing them how to clean their teeth correctly.
My first dentist appointment in 5 years. Always been a very nervous patient and the last dentist I saw made me feel so horrific about myself and I've been petrified since. Today was so totally different. Both staff in the room made me feel comfortable, I became upset as soon as they called my name and they sat me down with a glass of water, told me to forget about the appointment for a moment and had little chat to help calm me down. They asked if I was with someone and then fetched my husband from the waiting room to make me feel more comfortable. They were incredibly compassionate and made me feel more at ease than I've ever felt in my life at a dentist. Everything was explained to me clearly and they've made me feel so much better about my dental situation that I cried again from relief. I'm still nervous but they have put me at a lot of ease about actually going to see them regularly. Thank you so much Tanzeel & Selvi 💜
Been with this practice for over 30 years. Every six months. No complaints. Always positive and patient centered Thorough service every time. Admin excellent. Long may it continue.NHS patient.
Very efficient..Very friendly, really lovely people.. Makes such a difference.. Especially when terrified of going to the dentist like myself.Couldn't want for better.
First time using, as our previous dentist wasn't reliable and kept cancelling our appointments. Brilliant service, staff really informative, all costs explained, and have recommended to other family members to move here.
Been today 1st time Zara and her assistant , I've got to say never mind the building is beautiful clean.the service I have to say is best EVER I've been in my 50 odd years and maybe 25 dentist from here to London. Totally Outstanding every 1 .10.out 10 if could give more it be worth it. Won't find better no where.
To be honest, the treatment staff is very respectful, welcoming and friendly, and they offer and implement the best suggestions for treating your teeth, they follow the hygiene tips well, and they try to make your appointment as soon as possible. They will arrange the next meeting, in general, I would like to thank Mr. Hassan Rahman, the dentist, for giving me a beautiful smile🙏
Not my usual dentist but I was away from home when I chipped my front tooth and wanted it fixed asap. I managed to get an emergency dentist appt at Ashbourne road dental at short notice hoping for a temporary solution until I was back home and could see my own dentist. Not only was I able to be seen but I actually had a high quality painless and permanent fix on the day at a very reasonable price. Fantastic service that exceeded all expectations from Dr Hasaan and the rest of the staff were extremely friendly too. I don't live in Derby so probably won't be back but I would recommend this practice to anyone that does :)
I was not one that enjoyed going to the dentist, but since being at this practice it has been so much more easier. My dentist (Dr Rahman) makes me feel at ease and explains any treatment that might be needed. All the staff are great and helpful.
I had an unexpected dental emergency and this surgery was able to fit me in straight away. The clinicians and the team at the dental surgery were absolutely amazing. They were so professional and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. The atmosphere was great and they communicated everything clearly. They provided prompt and efficient care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.I highly recommend them for any dental needs!.
Absolutely outstanding and highly recommended. Starting out last November 2022 as a very nervous patient, I am now confident when visiting the Dental Practice, where I have had several procedures including dental implants. A massive Thank you to Tanzeel for always being patient with me and making me feel at ease when I visit. All the staff are polite and kind. Thank you for everything, I wouldn't go anywhere else.
I was seen promptly and was dealt with kindness and courtesy. It was explained that esthetically my implants would look better if I had a graft onto the lower gum. I said I was not interested however as the lower teeth were not visible at any time, even when laughing, so the Dentist was happy to proceed on the basis that the implants would be visible, but only to me! I was then given an appointment for the proper teeth to be fitted after numerous photos were taken.
My bi-anual check at Ashbourne road Dental went fine. Very pleasant and polite staff,from reception to my dental surgeon and his assistant. All demonstrat professionalism in there own field and I look forward to my visits knowing I will receive top quality care every time.T.R. Campbell.
Best dentist I’ve been too! Staff are all so friendly and welcoming. Lovely new waiting room. Went for a clean and fillings. Dentist made me feel at ease and spoke to me throughout my appointment to make sure I was comfortable. Very professional, fully recommend and will be back soon
Compelled to give this practice another 5 stars after once again fantastic service. I had dental pain whilst on holiday returned to the UK last night and given an appt the morning after , Dr Rehman was caring and helped me feel at ease, and explained everything clearly and treatment completed with no issues . Highly recommend
Brilliant service, top quality. The hygiene and specifically the cleanliness are excellent. Made to feel comfortable and at ease, especially as I'm a nervous patient. Staff are super helpful too. Definitely recommend this practice.
A fantastic experience from start to finish. The service has always been friendly, personal and efficient from those on reception, to Anyone in the consulting room. I would thoroughly recommend this dental practice.
Absolutely amazing, I have never been more at ease for a dental procedure. I have autism and ADHD and never have I found a dental practise so welcoming and understanding. They listened to what I needed and adapted accordingly. No pain, clear instructions, friendly staff and very prompt appointments. I’m one of the most nervous patients but I would happily go back again. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.
