Missing Multiple Teeth?
All-on-4 'Teeth-in-a-Day' Solutions Near Bishop's Stortford
15th June 2026
Losing multiple teeth can affect far more than your smile. Many people find themselves avoiding photographs, struggling to eat certain foods, or feeling less confident in social and professional situations. If you have failing teeth, advanced gum disease, extensive decay or an uncomfortable denture, All-on-4 dental implants could offer a life-changing solution.
At Hertfordshire Dental Group, we help patients from Bishop's Stortford and across Hertfordshire restore their smile, confidence and quality of life with advanced full arch dental implant treatment.
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4, often referred to as "teeth in a day", is an innovative implant treatment designed for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth, or whose remaining teeth are no longer healthy enough to save.
Rather than replacing each tooth individually, a full arch of fixed replacement teeth is supported by just four to six strategically placed dental implants. In many cases, patients can have their failing teeth removed, implants placed and a fixed set of temporary teeth fitted on the very same day.
This means you can leave the practice with a functioning smile, without having to spend months wearing a removable denture while your implants heal.
Who Is Suitable for All-on-4 Treatment?
All-on-4 dental implants may be suitable for patients who:
-
Have multiple missing teeth
-
Have loose or failing teeth due to gum disease
-
Suffer from extensive tooth decay
-
Wear partial dentures and have only a few natural teeth remaining
-
Have experienced dental trauma resulting in significant tooth loss
-
Want a fixed alternative to removable dentures
Our experienced implant team will evaluate your oral health, bone levels and treatment goals to determine whether full arch implant treatment is the best option for you.
For suitable patients, conscious sedation is also available to help you feel calm, relaxed and comfortable throughout your procedure.
The Benefits of Teeth in a Day
One of the biggest advantages of All-on-4 treatment is that patients do not have to wait months before enjoying the benefits of their new smile.
Your temporary bridge allows you to smile, speak and eat with confidence while your implants heal. This period also gives you the opportunity to experience your new teeth in everyday life and provide feedback before your final bridge is created.
“It’s a bit like a test drive for your new smile - patients can actually function with their teeth in place, so they know they can eat and speak comfortably before the final bridge is made.”
-Dr Roshwin Carvalho

A Life-Changing Investment in Confidence
The impact of full arch dental implants extends far beyond restoring missing teeth. For many patients, treatment can be genuinely life-changing.
One of our patients, Duncan Turnbull, underwent implant treatment after a cycling accident left him with significant damage to his teeth.
"Before I met Simon, I never used to smile properly."
After discussing his options with Dr Simon Oldham and receiving treatment, Duncan's outlook changed completely.
"I now have an amazing set of implants. When I wake up in the morning, I look in the mirror and do a cheeky smile. My confidence level is at an all-time high."
He also described how treatment transformed the way he felt about himself every day:
"I always used to hide my teeth behind my smile, but now I have the confidence to talk to people, have photos taken and smile from ear to ear."
-Duncan Turnbull
Stories like Duncan's demonstrate that All-on-4 dental implants are about far more than replacing failing or missing teeth. They can restore confidence, improve quality of life and help people feel comfortable smiling again.
