All-on-8® Dental Implants Treatment Procedure

The All-on-8® Dental Implants treatment procedure at London Dental Specialists is a sophisticated and precise process designed to restore your full smile with optimal stability and function. This innovative technique involves placing eight dental implants in each jaw to support a fixed, full-arch prosthesis.

Key Steps in the All-on-8® Procedure

• Anaesthesia Administration: Our specialists ensure your comfort throughout the procedure using appropriate anaesthesia.


• Implant Placement: Eight titanium implants are strategically inserted into your jawbone using advanced 3D-guided surgery techniques.


• Immediate Loading: In many cases, we can attach a temporary prosthesis on the same day, allowing you to leave with a functional smile.


• Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants integrate with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.


• Final Restoration: Once healing is complete, we fit your custom-designed, permanent prosthesis for a natural-looking, fully functional smile.

Advantages of the All-on-8® Approach

The All-on-8® technique offers several benefits over traditional dentures or fewer implant solutions:

• Enhanced Stability: Eight implants provide superior support for your new teeth, improving chewing efficiency and speech.


• Optimal Bone Preservation: More implants help maintain jawbone density, preserving facial structure.


• Improved Longevity: The increased number of implants can lead to better long-term outcomes and reduced risk of complications.


• Natural Look and Feel: Your new teeth will look, feel, and function like natural teeth, boosting your confidence.

• Detailed guidance on oral hygiene practices to maintain your new implants

Post All-on-8® Dental Implants Treatment Care

Proper aftercare is essential for the long-term success of your All-on-8® Dental Implants at London Dental Specialists. Following your successful implant procedure, our dedicated team will provide comprehensive support to ensure optimal healing and integration of your new dental implants.

Immediate Aftercare (First 48 Hours)

• Manage Swelling: Apply cold compresses to the outside of your face in 20-minute intervals.


• Medication Management: Take prescribed antibiotics and pain relief as directed.


• Rest and Recovery: Limit physical activity and get plenty of rest to support healing.


• Soft Diet: Consume only soft foods and liquids to avoid putting pressure on your new implants.


• Avoid Smoking: Refrain from smoking as it significantly impairs healing and can lead to implant failure.

Long-term Maintenance for Your All-on-8® Implants

Your All-on-8® Dental Implants require specific care to ensure their longevity:

• Daily Cleaning: Use specialised brushes and water flossers to clean around and under your prosthesis.


• Regular Professional Cleanings: Attend scheduled hygiene appointments every 3-6 months.


• Routine Check-ups: Visit us for regular examinations to monitor your implants and prosthesis.
