The Procedure Explained

What Are All-on-8 Dental Implants?

All-on-8 extends the full-arch implant concept further than All-on-4 or All-on-6 by using eight titanium implants as the foundation for a complete set of fixed teeth. It is not a commonly required treatment — the majority of patients achieve excellent results with fewer implants — but in specific clinical situations, the additional anchor points provide benefits that justify the increased investment.

Eight Implants

More anchor points than All-on-6, distributing biting forces across the full arch for patients with adequate bone volume. All eight implants are placed upright in a linear or expanded configuration.

Who Needs It

Patients with strong bone density who want the most stable fixed solution, or those with particularly heavy bite loads. A CT scan determines whether All-on-8 is clinically warranted for your case.

UK Cost Range

Typically £15,000–£25,000 per arch depending on clinic, implant brand, and prosthesis material. Full mouth (both arches) from £28,000–£45,000. Finance available.

UK Pricing Guide

All-on-8 Cost UK — What to Budget

All-on-8 is the most expensive full-arch implant option, reflecting the additional implants, extended surgical time, and more complex laboratory work involved. The price difference compared to All-on-6 is significant, so it is worth establishing with your clinician whether the additional implants are genuinely warranted for your specific anatomy.

UK costs sit between £15,000 and £25,000 per arch for most specialist clinics. Premium practices in London offering zirconia prostheses and named implant brands will be at the higher end of this range. Clinics in regional cities will typically be more competitive.

If you are told you need All-on-8 at a consultation, it is reasonable to ask for the clinical justification based on your CT scan results. Most patients with good bone volume achieve the same functional outcomes with All-on-6 at lower cost.

Per Arch

Single Arch

£15,000–£25,000

Upper or lower arch. Price depends on implant brand, prosthesis material, and clinic location.

Both Arches

Full Mouth

£28,000–£45,000

Upper and lower arches combined. Finance options available at most specialist clinics.

Is All-on-8 worth the premium? Only if clinically indicated. For the majority of patients, All-on-6 provides equivalent long-term outcomes. A second opinion from another specialist is always reasonable before committing to the higher investment.

Step by Step

How the All-on-8 Procedure Works

The All-on-8 process follows the same stages as All-on-6 — consultation, surgery, healing, and final prosthesis — but with a longer surgery time and more complex planning to position eight implants optimally.

Compare with the All-on-6 procedure →
1

Consultation & CT Scan

Appointment 1

Comprehensive clinical assessment and cone beam CT scan to evaluate bone volume and density. Patients suitable for All-on-8 typically have strong bone throughout both arches.

2

Digital Treatment Planning

1–2 weeks

3D digital planning maps the optimal position for all eight implants, ensuring maximum spread and load distribution. Surgical guides may be fabricated for precision placement.

3

Implant Surgery

4–6 hours

Eight titanium implants placed under local anaesthesia, with IV sedation available. The procedure takes longer than All-on-4 or All-on-6 due to the greater number of implant sites.

4

Temporary Prosthesis Fitted

Same day

A full-arch temporary prosthesis is fitted the same day, allowing normal function while the implants integrate with the bone over the following months.

5

Osseointegration Period

3–6 months

Implants fuse with the jawbone over 3–6 months. Soft diet and monitoring appointments. The greater number of implants does not extend the healing timeline significantly.

6

Final Prosthesis

Final appointment

Once integration is confirmed, the permanent prosthesis — typically zirconia at this level of treatment — is fabricated and fitted with final bite adjustments.

Treatment Comparison

All-on-8 vs Other Full-Arch Options

All-on-8 vs All-on-6

All-on-6 uses six implants and provides excellent outcomes for most patients. All-on-8 adds two more anchor points for patients with high bone density or specific clinical requirements. Neither is universally superior — CT scan results dictate the right choice.

About All-on-6 →

All-on-8 vs All-on-4

All-on-4 uses angled rear implants to work with reduced bone volume. All-on-8 requires substantial bone throughout the arch. They serve different patient profiles — All-on-4 for reduced bone, All-on-8 for patients with strong bone who want maximum stability.

About All-on-4 →

All-on-8 vs Full Mouth Implants

All-on-8 is a full mouth solution if applied to both arches. Treating both arches with All-on-8 represents the most comprehensive and most expensive full-mouth implant option available.

Common Questions

All-on-8 Questions Answered

What is All-on-8?
All-on-8 is a full-arch dental implant treatment that uses eight titanium implants per arch to support a fixed prosthesis. More implants than All-on-6 or All-on-4 means load is distributed across a greater number of anchor points, which some clinicians recommend for patients with very strong bone or demanding bite requirements.
Who needs All-on-8 rather than All-on-6?
Most patients are well served by All-on-4 or All-on-6. All-on-8 is typically recommended where the patient has above-average bone volume and density, a particularly demanding bite, or where the treating clinician believes additional implants will improve long-term stability. Your CT scan assessment determines whether All-on-8 is clinically warranted.
How much does All-on-8 cost in the UK?
All-on-8 in the UK typically costs between £15,000 and £25,000 per arch, reflecting the additional surgical time, materials, and laboratory work compared to All-on-6. Full mouth treatment ranges from £28,000 to £45,000.
Is All-on-8 better than All-on-6?
Not necessarily. More implants do not automatically mean better outcomes — the right number depends entirely on your jaw anatomy, bone quality, and the treating clinician's assessment. All-on-6 provides excellent outcomes for most patients. All-on-8 is appropriate in specific clinical situations, not as a universal upgrade.
What is the recovery for All-on-8?
Recovery for All-on-8 follows the same pattern as All-on-6 — a temporary prosthesis is fitted on the day of surgery, followed by a 3–6 month osseointegration period before the final prosthesis is placed. Additional implants do not significantly extend recovery time.
