A 4-dental implant is a permanently fixed full-arch dental implant placed on each jaw that is securely attached with a complete set of new teeth on one bridge that functions like a natural tooth. It is used to replace missing teeth caused due to severely decayed teeth, accident or periodontal disease. All-on-4 dental implants are strategically designed to support the entire jaw with a single bridge, providing a pleasing smile within one day. A
4 tooth implant bridge involves the placement of four titanium implants in the jaw that secure a fixed tooth bridge of 12 to 14 bridges in place.
There are several factors that decide the final cost of a 4 tooth implant bridge in the UK. Among the primary factors is that the geographical location of the clinics in larger cities like London or Manchester is more costly than clinics in smaller towns or rural areas. Materials used also affect cost. Although titanium is the standard material for implants, the use of zirconia implants increases cost due to their biocompatibility and esthetics. Likewise, the type of bridge, whether porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-ceramic, affects both cost and aesthetic outcome.
