All-on-4 Purley: Your guide to 'same day teeth’ full arch dental implants in South London

You may have heard the term ‘same day teeth’. Many people wonder whether it’s too good to be true, especially if they are experiencing uncomfortable, loose or failing teeth. In reality, it is a well-established treatment that, when suitable, allows problem teeth to be removed, implants placed and fixed teeth fitted - on the same day.

The idea sounds surprising, but the process is carefully planned from start to finish. When your oral health and bone support make you a good candidate, this approach provides a safe, predictable and supportive way to restore your smile and confidence. Our dental clinic is conveniently located in Purley, offering easy access for patients.

A closer look at how All-on-4 works - four precisely placed implants supporting a full arch of fixed teeth for a stable, confident smile.

If you’re finding it difficult to eat, speak or smile without worry, All-on-4 dental implants, often known as same day teeth, offer a fixed full arch solution. You receive a temporary set of teeth on the day of your implant surgery, so you leave our Purley practice with a secure, natural-looking smile that helps you achieve beautiful smiles straight away.

At Foxley Lane Dental in Purley, All-on-4 dental implants are available for patients across Purley, Croydon, Coulsdon, Kenley, Wallington and wider South London - and beyond.

Why is it called All-on-4?

It’s called All-on-4 because a full arch of replacement teeth is supported by four dental implants. These four implants are placed in planned positions to hold a fixed bridge that replaces all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. The same principle applies to All-on-5 and All-on-6, which use five or six implants for added stability when needed. These treatments are part of modern implant dentistry, which focuses on restoring both function and aesthetics, preserving oral health, and ensuring long-term success.

We welcome new patients to book a free consultation and meet our friendly team of professional dentists with expertise in implant dentistry.

What does same day teeth involve?

Your same day teeth procedure in Purley follows a clear, structured process from start to finish.

  • We begin with a detailed assessment delivered with a personal touch and a commitment to exceptional dental care, ensuring every patient feels supported as we review your oral health, understand your goals, and plan your treatment with gentle care throughout the process.
  • During your appointment, dental implant surgery is performed. The socket is carefully drilled to ensure the implant is placed at the precise location of the intended tooth, replicating the function of a natural root.
  • This is a surgical procedure carried out under local anaesthetic, and you will be kept comfortable throughout. If any teeth need to be removed as part of your treatment plan, this is also done during the same visit.
  • A temporary bridge is fitted on the same day. This means you leave with fixed teeth in place while your implants begin to heal.
  • Once healing is complete, you return for your final bridge. This is shaped, coloured and designed to suit your smile.

The whole process is carefully planned, friendly and supportive, so you always know what to expect at each stage.

All-on-4, All-on-5 and All-on-6 in Purley explained

All three treatments provide full arch support. The difference lies in how many implants are used:

  • All-on-4 uses four dental implants
  • All-on-5 uses five dental implants
  • All-on-6 uses six dental implants

All-on-4 is a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring dental health, oral health, and facial structure. This treatment helps fill gaps left by missing teeth or tooth loss, and supports surrounding gum tissues. Gum disease is a common cause of tooth loss, and addressing it early is essential for maintaining oral health and preventing further complications.

Some patients benefit from extra support when bone levels are lower. Bone density is carefully assessed to determine the best treatment approach and ensure optimal implant stability. Others may need added stability for long-term strength. If you are struggling with loose dentures, traditional dentures, or removable dentures, mouth dental implants and All-on-4 provide new teeth that look and function like your own natural teeth. Dental implants help prevent bone loss and allow you to smile confidently.

We provide comprehensive dental care at our Purley practice, including denture options and dental implant solutions for missing teeth. Our experts will guide you through the safest and most suitable option for your needs. Careful planning and ongoing oral hygiene are essential for the long term success of dental implants, helping to ensure durable and stable results.

Frequently asked questions

  • Are same day teeth safe?

    Yes. Same day teeth and All-on-4 mouth dental implants are well-established dental treatments. Each procedure is carefully planned at our Purley practice - our dentist assesses your bone density, gum health and individual needs to make sure the treatment is suitable. Nervous patients receive gentle care and clear reassurance throughout. Our friendly team is dedicated to providing exceptional dental care in a calm setting.

  • How long do same day teeth take from start to finish?

    With All-on-4 dental implants, you receive temporary teeth and a full arch bridge with new teeth on the same day as your appointment. Healing continues over several months while the implants integrate with the bone, taking on a role similar to a natural root. Once healed, your final replacement teeth are fitted to complete your new smile. New patients are guided through the healing process at every step so you always know what to expect and feel supported throughout your dental care.

  • Are All-on-4 implants suitable if I have worn or loose dentures?

    Yes. Many patients choose All-on-4, All-on-5 or All-on-6 when removable dentures or traditional dentures feel uncomfortable or when tooth loss affects daily life. Same day teeth provide fixed, secure new teeth that help you eat, speak and smile confidently. Full arch implants also help limit future bone loss and support long term dental health, offering a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth.

  • What’s the difference between All-on-4, All-on-5 and All-on-6?

    All three treatments replace a full arch of missing teeth. The difference is how many implants support the bridge. All-on-4 uses four implants, All-on-5 uses five and All-on-6 uses six. Some patients benefit from more implants when bone density is lower or when greater stability is needed for full mouth implants. Your dentist at our Purley dental clinic will explain the option that best suits your individual needs.

  • Do same day teeth look natural?

    Yes. Same day teeth are designed to look and feel like your own natural teeth. Both the temporary bridge and the final bridge are shaped and coloured to suit your bite, smile line and facial features, helping you achieve a functional smile that feels natural. With proper care, your new teeth will last for years and allow you to smile confidently every day.

  • Can same day teeth be placed on the upper and lower jaw?

    Yes. All-on-4, All-on-5 and All-on-6 implants can support full arch treatment on the upper jaw, the lower jaw or both. Your dentist will examine your mouth, bone density and overall dental health to confirm whether same day dental implants are suitable. Some patients may need bone grafting first, and this will be discussed during your assessment at our Purley dental practice.

  • What does recovery from All-on-4 involve?

    Most patients return to normal activities soon after their appointment. Mild soreness is common for a short period. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic so you should not feel pain during treatment. As the implants heal, your dentist provides guidance on eating, cleaning and proper care to support long term success. Our friendly team stays in touch to ensure your mouth heals well and your new teeth feel comfortable.

  • Are patients from outside Purley able to book same day teeth treatment?

    Yes. We welcome new patients from Croydon, Coulsdon, Kenley, Wallington, South Croydon, Selsdon and wider South London.

Whether you need All-on-4, All-on-5, All-on-6, full mouth implants or advice on replacing missing teeth, our professional dentists are here to help.

  • Is a root canal an alternative to dental implants?

    Yes. In some cases, a root canal can save a tooth and avoid the need for extraction and implants. Root canal treatment removes infection from the intended tooth, cleans the canal and seals it to protect dental health. Your dentist will discuss whether a root canal or mouth implants provide the safest and most effective option for your individual needs.
