Same-day smile in Muswell Hill
A full arch of fixed, natural-looking teeth placed on just four to six implants, all in a single appointment. Walk in with missing or failing teeth, walk out with a brand-new smile.
- Full set of fixed teeth in one day
- As few as four implants per arch
- No more denture adhesives or slipping
All-on-4 vs All-on-6
Both options give you a full arch of fixed teeth in a single day. The difference comes down to how many implants are placed and which approach suits your bone and bite.
All-on-4
Four implants are placed per arch, with the two rear implants angled to maximise contact with the available bone. This approach is often possible even when bone has reduced, and it keeps the procedure shorter and more affordable.
- Often suitable with reduced bone
- Shorter, less invasive procedure
- Lower cost than six-implant option
- Proven long-term success rate
All-on-6
Six implants are placed per arch, distributing bite forces more evenly across the jaw. The extra two implants provide additional stability, which can be beneficial for patients with stronger bites or those who want maximum long-term support.
- Greater load distribution across the jaw
- Extra stability for heavy bite forces
- Ideal when bone volume is good
- Maximum long-term support
Why choose a same-day smile?
A same-day smile gives you a complete set of fixed teeth in a single visit. No months of waiting, no temporary dentures, just a new smile you can use straight away.
How your same-day smile works
From consultation to walking out with a full set of teeth, here's what to expect at each stage.
We take a full set of 3D scans, X-rays and photographs to assess your bone density, gum health and bite. We'll explain whether All-on-4 or All-on-6 is right for you, and give you a clear plan and cost.
Using 3D imaging, we plan the exact position, angle and depth of each implant for maximum stability. Your new teeth are designed digitally so they're ready to fit on the day of surgery.
Any remaining teeth are gently removed and four to six titanium implants are placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic or sedation. The angled placement maximises contact with the strongest areas of bone.
A full arch of provisional fixed teeth is attached to the implants the same day. You leave the surgery with a complete, natural-looking smile that you can use straight away, including eating soft foods from day one.
Over the following months, the implants fuse with the bone. Once integration is complete, we replace the provisional arch with your permanent, custom-made porcelain teeth, designed for a lifetime of confident smiles.

Frequently asked questions
Short, clear answers to the questions we hear most often about same-day smile treatment.
Yes. On the day of surgery, we place the implants and attach a full arch of provisional fixed teeth before you leave. These are functional and natural-looking, so you can smile and eat soft foods straight away. Your permanent set is fitted a few months later once the implants have fully integrated.
Both give you a full arch of fixed teeth in one day. All-on-4 uses four implants per arch with the rear two angled for maximum bone contact, making it a good option when bone has receded. All-on-6 uses six implants for extra stability, which can suit patients with stronger bites or good bone volume. We'll recommend the best approach for you at your consultation.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and sedation is available if you'd prefer. Most patients report less discomfort than they expected. There will be some swelling and soreness for a week or so afterwards, which is managed with prescribed painkillers and a soft diet.
The cost depends on whether you need one arch or both, whether All-on-4 or All-on-6 is recommended, and if any preparatory work is required. After your consultation and scans, we'll give you a clear, itemised quote with no hidden fees. Interest-free finance is available to help spread the cost.
You'll need to stick to soft foods for the first few weeks while the implants begin to heal. Once your permanent teeth are fitted, you can eat virtually anything, including foods that would be impossible with dentures. Most patients say it's the biggest improvement to their quality of life.
The titanium implants themselves can last a lifetime with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups. The prosthetic arch on top typically lasts 15 to 20 years before it may need refurbishing or replacing. We'll see you regularly to make sure everything stays in excellent condition.
Yes, many of our same-day smile patients are long-term denture wearers. Even if you've experienced bone loss from years of wearing dentures, the angled implant technique used in All-on-4 is specifically designed to work with reduced bone. We'll assess your suitability at your consultation.
Daily care is straightforward. Brush twice a day with a soft brush, use interdental brushes or a water flosser around the implants, and attend regular hygiene appointments. Your new teeth are fixed in place, so there's no need to remove anything for cleaning. We'll give you a full care guide after treatment.
