All-on-X dental implants (full arch replacement) in London (WC1H)
Replace all your teeth with fixed implants
All-on-X dental implants are a long-term solution for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth. The X refers to using a small number of strategically placed implants - you may have heard of All-on-4 or All-on-6. With this approach, we can support a full set of fixed teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Unlike removable dentures, All-on-X provides a secure, stable solution that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Who is this treatment for?
All-on-X may be suitable if you:
- Have multiple missing or failing teeth
- Wear loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Are facing full tooth loss (usually due to gum disease)
- Want a fixed (non-removable) alternative to dentures
- Have been told you may not have enough bone for traditional implants
Each case is carefully assessed using 3D imaging to determine suitability.
What are the benefits of All-on-X implants?
- Fixed, non-removable teeth
- Natural appearance and function
- Improved chewing ability
- No need for adhesives or removal
- Helps preserve jawbone structure
- Can often reduce the need for extensive bone grafting
This approach is designed to restore both function and aesthetics in a predictable way.
How does the All-on-X process work?
1. Consultation and assessment
We carry out a detailed examination, including 3D CBCT scanning, to assess bone levels and plan implant placement precisely.
2. Treatment planning
A customised plan is created based on your anatomy, smile goals, and functional needs. You will receive a care letter that you can take away and consider in your own time. We can then discuss this further if you wish.
3. Implant placement
A small number of implants (typically 4-8 per arch) are placed in carefully selected positions for maximum support.
4. Temporary teeth
In many cases, a fixed temporary bridge can be fitted shortly after implant placement, allowing you to leave with a functional smile. Quite often this can be done on the same day.
5. Healing phase
Over the following months, the implants bond with the bone. The gum and bone will naturally shrink; once this happens we are ready to create the final bridge.
6. Final restoration
A bespoke, long-term bridge is fitted, designed for durability, aesthetics, and comfort. You will have input on how you would like it to look so that you are happy with the final appearance.

Frequently asked questions about All-on-X implants in London
Is the procedure painful?
Implant placement is carried out under local anaesthetic, and sedation options may be available. Most patients report manageable discomfort after the procedure.
How long do All-on-X implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, implants can last many years. The final bridge may require maintenance or replacement over time. The aim of a thorough consultation is to identify any issues that could affect the longevity of your treatment and advise of your suitability.
Can I have this treatment if I have bone loss?
In many cases, yes. The All-on-X approach is specifically designed to maximise the use of available bone, and may reduce the need for grafting.
Will I be without teeth during treatment?
In many cases, temporary fixed teeth can be provided shortly after implant placement. Quite often they can be provided on the same day.
How do I clean All-on-X implants?
You will be shown how to clean around your implants using specialised brushes and hygiene techniques. Regular maintenance visits are important.
What if I currently wear dentures?
All-on-X is commonly used to replace dentures with a fixed alternative, offering significantly improved comfort and function. We would assess the fit and shape of your dentures and advise whether All-on-X or denture stabilisation would be better for you.
