Rebuild your smile securely, even after advanced gum disease.

If you’ve been told you may need dentures, or that you don’t have enough bone for implants, a detailed assessment may reveal more options than you think.

All-on-4 treatment is designed for patients whose teeth have become loose, unstable or beyond predictable repair.

Through careful digital planning, implants can often be placed using the bone that remains, creating a fixed bridge that restores stability and function.

Does this feel familiar?

Full mouth rehabilitation is usually considered when dental issues are no longer isolated to a single tooth. It’s often the result of years of previous treatment, wear, or structural changes that now need to be addressed together.

Your teeth feel less stable

than they used to

Eating certain foods feels uncomfortable. You avoid biting directly. You feel unsure how long things will hold.

Repairs feel temporary

Appointments become more frequent.

Small fixes don’t seem to last. You’re told

the bone support has reduced.

The conversation turns

to dentures

You’re advised extractions may be needed.

Dentures are presented as the next step.

You’ve been told there isn’t

enough bone for implants

It can feel like the decision has already

been made for you.

This is often the stage where patients feel they are running out of options.

But this is also the point where structured implant planning can change the direction of the conversation.

Why gum disease can lead to tooth loss

Gum disease affects the bone that supports your teeth.

As the supporting bone reduces, teeth can become loose and increasingly unstable.

In advanced stages, repairing teeth individually may no longer restore long-term stability.

At this point, extractions are often discussed, and dentures presented as the standard solution.

Removing unstable teeth also removes the infection.

This creates the opportunity to assess the remaining bone properly and consider whether implants can provide a more secure foundation.

A secure alternative

to dentures

All-on-4 treatment is designed for patients whose remaining teeth are no longer stable.

A small number of implants are placed into the jawbone to support a fixed bridge that replaces most of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw.

Because the bridge is supported by implants placed into bone, not resting on the gums, it provides far greater stability than a removable denture.

In many cases, temporary teeth can be fitted on the same day following careful planning. The focus is stability and predictability.

Told you don’t

have enough bone?

We hear this often.

Gum disease reduces the bone that supports your teeth, and it can sometimes appear that implants are no longer possible.

However, reduced bone does not automatically mean treatment isn’t achievable.

Using detailed CT scanning and digital planning, we assess exactly what bone remains and how it can be used safely.

In most cases, a structured approach makes treatment possible, even when patients have previously been told otherwise.

You may have more options than you’ve been told

If you are living with unstable teeth due to advanced gum disease, or have been advised that dentures are your only option, a structured assessment may reveal alternatives.

Reduced bone does not automatically mean treatment is impossible.

The Planning Process

Successful implant treatment begins long before the day of surgery.

It is this preparation that makes same-day teeth possible in appropriate cases.

1. Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a detailed clinical review of your gums, bone levels and overall oral health to understand whether implants are appropriate.

2. Advanced digital imaging

CT scanning allows us to assess the quality

and volume of bone available.

A digital intra-oral scan creates a precise model of your mouth. These are combined to plan treatment accurately.

3. Crown-first planning

The position of your final teeth is designed first. The implants are then positioned to support that planned result.

4. Guided placement

From the digital plan, a custom surgical guide is created.

This allows implants to be placed at the exact depth and angle intended, creating a safe and predictable procedure.
