The All-on-4® treatment concept can help you regain your smile without the need for dentures, and by undergoing this innovative treatment in Valencia, it’s possible to save over 10 grand—per jaw.

Find out how this implant-based full-arch rehabilitation technique can benefit you and discover fully verified specialists in Valencia with help from Dental Departures.

But today, modern dentistry allows specialists to completely restore the function and appearance of a smile using dental implants and a fixed prosthesis; the All-on-4® treatment concept is one of the most popular methods.

The Nobel Biocare® -patented technique involves just four implants being embedded in the upper, lower or both jaws; following a healing period of between four to six months, a full arch of porcelain or ceramic teeth can then be permanently attached, using specialised abutments and copings.

The result? A brand new smile that you don’t have to take out every night to be soaked!

Other advantages of the All-on-4® treatment concept are:

• Your teeth won’t slip or fall out

• No need to replace the acrylic-based bridge every few years, unlike traditional dentures.

• No need for special adhesive pastes or cumbersome maintenance.

• Only one session of surgery is required, with an “ immediate loading denture ” attached before you fly home.

• You’ll be able to eat almost anything you like once the final fixed bridge is in place.

• Dental implant treatment helps to prevent further bone loss and supports the internal structures of your face.

Typical candidates for this treatment are those who have lost all or several of their teeth following decay, trauma or periodontal disease.

Patients with some teeth still remaining will have these extracted before the implants are placed, during the same single session of surgery.

As a two-stage treatment process, two separate trips to Valencia will be required, each around four to six months apart. For each trip, you should plan to stay in the city for between three and five days.

Briefly, the first trip will involve an assessment, impressions of your mouth being taken, followed by surgery a few days later, when the implants are placed. A temporary set of teeth (called an immediate healing denture) will also be attached, so you have full use of your teeth during the interim.

The second trip, approximately four or more months later, will involve further assessments and impressions before the permanent fixed bridge (final restoration) can be attached.

implant treatment is almost never subsidised by the NHS.

On average, the same treatment at a private practice in London or Manchester would cost between GBP £15,000-20,000 per jaw, which means you could potentially save over 10 or even 20 thousand pounds when undergoing a full smile restoration (dual arch surgery) in Valencia or other parts of Spain.

These clinics offer a range of implant-based restoration options. Please note that the particular brand of system being used may differ and is subject to change at any time.

A 2.5-hour flight from the UK, the city promises the best of both worlds in terms of a city and beach break thanks to its enviable location on Spain’s southeastern Mediterranean coastline.

Aside from historic buildings, museums, galleries and one of the most highly-rated dining scenes in the country, visitors can easily drive out of the city to find pristine, uncrowded beaches, or a little further to find other beach resorts and historic cities such as:

• Benidorm (1.5 hours drive)

• Murcia (2.5 hours drive)

• Alicante (2 hours drive)

• Barcelona (3.5 hours drive)
