Same Day Dental Implants | Purley | All On 4

All-on-4 dental implant process

The process for All-on-4 dental implants typically takes one to two hours per session and takes place over two to three visits to our Purley practice, depending on the complexity of your case and how fast your implants heal.

Consultation and planning

Your dental implant journey begins with a free initial consultation at our Purley dental practice. We'll assess your oral health, bone density and gum health, take digital scans and impressions - including gaps from missing teeth - and create a personalised plan for your implant treatment.

Dental implant placement

During the dental implant surgery, we place four titanium implant posts into the jaw bone. These form a stable and secure foundation for your new smile and are carefully positioned for optimal support.

Attachment of temporary denture

You'll leave the practice with temporary teeth fitted on the same day - allowing you to smile, eat and speak confidently while the implants heal. This is sometimes referred to as a 'teeth in a day' treatment, 'same day teeth' or 'day teeth' procedure.

Healing and osseointegration

As your healing process progresses, the surrounding bone naturally fuses with the implants through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong bond and helps maintain bone health. It’s one of the key advantages of a dental implant procedure, giving you fixed teeth that feel like your own.

Placement of permanent denture

Once healing is complete, we fit your custom-made permanent denture. Designed to look and function like natural teeth, these artificial new teeth restore full smile aesthetics and bite function. These replacement teeth are supported by the four dental implants, giving you reliable full mouth restoration without affecting your remaining teeth or adjacent teeth.

Caring for your new dental implants

Looking after your dental implants is simple. We’ll guide you every step of the way, with easy daily dental care tips - and invite you for regular check-ups to help keep your implants, natural teeth and general oral health in great shape.

Supporting long-term oral health with dental implants

At Foxley Lane Dental, we believe dental implant treatment is about more than replacing missing teeth - it’s about restoring your smile, protecting your oral health, and helping you feel confident every day.

Whether you're replacing failing teeth, restoring a full mouth, or moving on from traditional dentures, our personalised approach puts your wellbeing first. We assess your gum health, jaw bone, and overall bone density to ensure the safest, most effective result.

Dental implants do more than fill gaps. By replicating the function of a natural tooth root, they stimulate the surrounding bone, preventing bone loss and preserving healthy bone in the upper or lower jaw. This helps maintain facial structure and simplifies future dental procedures.

Mouth dental implants are a permanent solution - fixed in place for day-to-day comfort and peace of mind. They don’t just restore your smile; they support natural teeth, improve oral function, and eliminate the inconvenience of removable dentures.

Implant dentistry is tailored to your full dental health profile - from bone density and gum condition to the long-term success of your new teeth.

We’ll guide you with simple, practical advice on good oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing and diet. Routine check-ups at our welcoming Purley dental practice help keep your implant site healthy and protect your remaining teeth.

Patients who’ve experienced tooth loss or lived with uncomfortable dentures often tell us they wish they’d chosen dental implants sooner - not just for how they look, but for how they feel.

All-on-4 dental implants: your questions answered

What are All-on-4 dental implants, and do they fill gaps left by missing teeth?
All-on-4 dental implants use just four titanium screws to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This system is ideal for people with multiple missing teeth or those tired of wearing dentures, offering a stable and long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures.
Do you offer All-on-5 and All-on-6 dental implants in Purley too, and what’s the difference between these?
Yes - at Foxley Lane Dental in Purley, we offer All-on-4, All-on-5, and All-on-6 dental implant treatments, depending on your individual needs and bone structure.All three options are advanced full-arch solutions designed to replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They involve placing a set number of implants to securely support a fixed, natural-looking bridge of teeth:
- All-on-4 dental implants use four strategically placed implants per jaw
- All-on-5 dental implants use five implants for added strength and stability
- All-on-6 dental implants use six implants, often recommended where there’s sufficient bone for maximum support
The benefits of these treatments include:
- A secure, long-lasting alternative to dentures
- Improved bite function, speech, and confidence
- Better jawbone preservation compared to traditional dentures
- A faster route to a fixed smile than replacing each tooth individually
We’ll recommend the best option for you following a full clinical assessment - whether that’s All-on-4, All-on-5, or All-on-6. Whichever route you choose, you can expect a stable, functional smile designed to last.
Do you offer zygomatic implants for missing teeth?
We don’t currently place zygomatic implants in-house as part of our dental implant offering, but we’re happy to discuss your options during your free initial consultation. If it’s the right path for you, we can suggest some trusted specialists in the Purley, Croydon and wider Wallington, Addington, Selsdon and Couldsdon areas who can help.
How does the same day teeth dental implant procedure work?
The same day teeth procedure involves placing dental implants and attaching temporary teeth all in one visit. You'll leave with a working smile while your implants heal and integrate with the surrounding bone - a process called osseointegration. It’s one of the most efficient dental procedures available for full arch replacement of artificial teeth.

Is the dental implant procedure painful, and what is the healing process for dental implant surgery like?
The dental implant surgical procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during treatment. Some mild soreness after dental implant surgery is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter medication. It’s one of the most comfortable ways to permanently replace missing teeth, without the need for bone grafting in most cases. We’ll explain each step of the implant procedure during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

Your body needs time to heal after dental implant surgery, especially if you've had additional work such as bone grafting. Over a few months, the dental implants fuse with the jaw bone, forming a stable and secure foundation for your new teeth. We’ll monitor your progress carefully to ensure the dental implant site heals properly, that there’s no sign of infection or gum disease, and that the outcome of your implant procedure is a long-term success.
How long do dental implants last?
With the right care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular check-ups, avoiding poor oral hygiene, and maintaining a consistent routine are key. We’ll support you with personalised tips and ongoing dental care - whether your treatment is part of implant dentistry or part of wider oral health support.
Can dental implants replace more than one tooth?
Absolutely. Whether you’ve lost one tooth or an entire row, we’ll tailor your implant procedure to your needs. Full mouth implants like All-on-4 use just 4 dental implants to support a full arch - restoring both form and function with solidly placed artificial teeth, without affecting your existing natural teeth.

Located in Purley, we’re proud to offer high-quality, personalised dental implant treatment near you - with flexible options to suit your needs and budget.
