The All-on-4 treatment concept is designed for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth and want a fixed, natural-looking alternative to dentures.
Using as few as four dental implants per jaw, a full set of teeth is securely attached, restoring comfort, confidence, and function in as little as 24–48 hours.
In some cases, additional implants may be placed for extra stability otherwise known as All on X. This approach allows patients to leave with a fully fixed, beautiful smile within days, instead of waiting months for traditional healing.
At Altura, we combine advanced digital planning, artistry, and precision to create results that feel as natural as they look transforming not just your smile, but the way you live.
All-on-4 implants provide support where bone remains strongest. This approach allows many patients to receive a full set of fixed teeth even when they have experienced bone loss or difficulty with dentures. Eating becomes easier, speaking feels clear, and feeling at ease socially often returns gently and naturally.
Walk out with a secure, fully fixed set of teeth within 24–48 hours after surgery, no removable dentures, no lengthy waiting period.
Enjoy the freedom to smile, eat, and speak naturally again, with a smile that feels like it’s truly yours.
Four to six strategically placed implants provide maximum stability with minimal surgery.
Implants under function help to maintain bone volume, preventing the sunken look that can occur after tooth loss.
Your new teeth are custom-designed to suit your facial features, proportions, and bite for a natural, harmonious result.
Due to the protocols, we can avoid procedures such as grafting that are time intensive, costly and require multiple appointments

Treatment begins with a consultation, digital X-rays, and a 3D CBCT scan to plan precise implant positioning. Four to six implants are then placed under local anaesthetic or sedation, with any remaining teeth removed at the same time. Within 1–3 days, a temporary fixed bridge is fitted so you can smile and eat soft foods right away.
Over 4–6 months the implants integrate with the bone while your permanent bridge is designed. Final digital scans are then taken to create and fit a titanium-reinforced ceramic bridge across 2–3 appointments.
At your first appointment, we will take time to understand your goals and assess your oral health.
Digital X-rays and a 3D CBCT scan are used to plan your implants precisely, ensuring optimal positioning and long-term stability.
During your procedure, any remaining teeth are gently removed, and four to six dental implants are placed in strategic positions.
This may be done under local anaesthetic or sedation for complete comfort.
Within 1–3 days of surgery, you’ll receive your temporary fixed bridge — a beautifully crafted set of acrylic teeth that let you smile, speak, and eat soft foods right away.
As your implants integrate with the bone, your gums and tissues reshape naturally around the new foundation.
During this time, you’ll enjoy your temporary bridge while your permanent set of teeth is designed.
After healing, we take detailed final digital scans to create your final titanium-reinforced bridge, offering maximum strength, longevity, and aesthetics.
This stage usually takes 2–3 appointments. At the end your final bridge is precisely fitted and adjusted to your bite, ensuring comfort, balance, and natural beauty.
Very professional and friendly staff . I’m very happy with the results. And I love the follow up call to make sure we ok . I highly recommend this dental clinic. Thank you DR Namm and the helping staff .
Altura is worth checking out for your dental needs. I came across their well-reviewed and recommended ad and decided to investigate. Dr Bryan is lovely and will work with you individually on achieving the results you’re after and genuinely wants success for you and your smile. Receptionists are friendly and make you feel very welcome too. At the start of my journey but I have been so happy with their service so far.
From my initial consultation through to the completion of my treatment I have been so thankful I chose to come to SD Dental Clinic Cleveland. Melissa is such an amazing Dentist. She’s a perfectionist and listens to every little detail. The team are so lovely, friendly and caring. I absolutely LOVE my finished results. Thank you all so much.
This experience has been truly transformative. My dentist was exceptionally supportive, always available to address concerns, answer questions, make necessary adjustments, and provide reassurance that everything was progressing as expected. He ensured that my new teeth were perfectly suited for me.
I travel 45 minutes to see these ladies, the surgery practice is absolutely beautiful, clean and cozy. Staff are so kind and welcoming. The fact I had a blanket and headphones to watch whatever I wanted on Netflix was a big bonus too. Last appointment I fell asleep, they are so gentle and caring I will never go anywhere else. Best dentist I’ve ever had and I had a few as a kid with braces
I have just completed first stage of an implant, having my tooth extracted. Dr Namm was excellent and explained the whole process to me. There was absolutely no pain involved in extracting the tooth. It was just so good...I was really impressed as I have had extensive dental work in the past and it has always been extremely painful. The after-care is second to none. I honestly can't recommend Altura Dental highly enough.
All-on-4 is a fixed alternative to dentures, ideal for patients missing all or most of their teeth. Unlike removable dentures, the bridge is screwed to implants and stays stable when eating and speaking. A temporary bridge is fitted within 24–48 hours of surgery, with most patients returning to normal activities within a week.
Implants fully integrate over 4–6 months before the final ceramic bridge is fitted. Daily cleaning and regular check-ups are essential to maintain longevity. “All-on-X” simply refers to using more than four implants where additional support is needed.
Absolutely. Many patients transition from dentures to fixed bridges for greater comfort, stability, and aesthetics.
We can evaluate your bone and gum health to determine the best plan for your upgrade.
In most cases, yes. Within 24–48 hours, a fixed temporary bridge is fitted to your implants.
This lets you leave with a complete, natural-looking smile while your final ceramic bridge is being planned and fabricated.
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 bridges are fixed via prosthetic screws to implants.
They feel stable and secure, don’t shift when you speak or eat, and allow you to bite and chew with confidence.
Yes. Even though your new teeth are fixed, oral hygiene remains essential.
Just like natural teeth, All-on-4 bridges require daily cleaning and regular check-ups to prevent gum inflammation or infection around the implants.
There’s no difference in hygiene commitment between maintaining natural teeth and maintaining implants. Both require care and consistency.
You can expect some mild tenderness for a few days after surgery, but most patients return to normal activities within a week.
We prescribe plenty of medication so that post-operative symptoms will be well controlled.
The implants fully integrate over 4–6 months, during which your temporary bridge supports both healing and confidence.
It depends on how well it’s cared for, much like how long a car lasts depends on its maintenance.
The implants themselves are designed to be a long-term foundation, and with excellent hygiene, regular reviews, and professional care, they can last for a long time.
The bridge (the teeth that attach to the implants) will experience normal wear over time and may need periodic servicing, repairs, or eventual replacement, just as a car needs servicing to stay at its best.
The key is consistency. Daily cleaning, routine check-ups, and maintenance visits are what keep your investment performing beautifully for the long term.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic or sedation, so you won’t feel any discomfort during treatment.
Afterwards, mild soreness is easily managed with prescribed medication.
All-on-4″ refers to using four implants per arch, while “All-on-X” simply means more than four (often five or six) are used for additional support, depending on bone structure and treatment needs.
This treatment is ideal for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth, or whose remaining teeth are failing and cannot support traditional restorations.
If you’ve been told you need dentures, All-on-4 may be a life-changing fixed alternative.
Yes. Every All-on-4 case is designed with your facial structure in mind. The shape, shade, and contours are customised to complement your features for a lifelike, confident smile.
