All-on-4 Dental Implants from Edinburgh | India Cost, Edinburgh Comparison
- All-on-4 uses four implants per arch, two placed axially at the front, two tilted posteriorly at 30–45° to engage denser anterior bone and avoid the maxillary sinus.
This tilt increases implant-to-bone contact and eliminates the need for sinus augmentation in most cases.

All-on-4 uses four implants per arch, two placed axially at the front, two tilted posteriorly at 30–45° to engage denser anterior bone and avoid the maxillary sinus. This tilt increases implant-to-bone contact and eliminates the need for sinus augmentation in most cases. A fixed provisional prosthesis is delivered the same day as surgery when intraoperative primary stability meets the required torque threshold. The definitive monolithic zirconia prosthesis is fitted at a follow-up appointment typically 4–6 months later.
Edinburgh private clinics charge £18,000–£30,000 per arch for All-on-4. Scotland abolished NHS dental charges in April 2023, but this applies only to routine Band-equivalent treatments; implants remain entirely outside NHS provision under any pathway in Scotland, as in England. All implant treatment is self-funded.
