From dentures to fixed teeth in a day: what Same Day Teeth really costs in Cheshire
Same Day Teeth in Cheshire typically costs from around £10,000 to £25,000 per arch, depending on your case. The treatment, often called All-on-4, replaces a full set of failing teeth with fixed teeth on implants, fitted in a single day. At Hale Dental near Altrincham, Dr Richard Brookshaw leads this work, and as of June 2026 here’s an honest cost breakdown.
The idea sounds almost too good to be true. Walk in with failing teeth or a loose denture, walk out the same day with a fixed, natural-looking smile. So what’s actually behind the price? Let’s break it down properly.
What you’re paying for with Same Day Teeth
The headline figure can look daunting until you see what sits inside it. This isn’t a single filling. It’s a full-arch reconstruction delivered in one visit, and the fee covers a lot of separate stages rolled into one.
A typical Same Day Teeth fee includes:
- 3D scanning and digital planning of your jaw and bite
- The implants themselves, usually four or more per arch
- The surgery to place them, including any extractions on the day
- A fixed temporary set of teeth fitted the same day
- The final, permanent bridge once healing is complete
- Follow-up appointments and aftercare
Compare that with the staged alternative, where extractions, healing, individual implants, and separate crowns each carry their own fee over many months, and the all-in nature of Same Day Teeth starts to make sense.
How the costs compare
It helps to see Same Day Teeth alongside the other ways of replacing a full arch of teeth. Here’s a general UK guide.
| Option | Typical cost per arch | What you get | Fixed or removable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full denture | £500 to £2,500 | A removable plate | Removable |
| Implant-retained denture | £5,000 to £12,000 | A denture that clips onto implants | Removable |
| Same Day Teeth (All-on-4) | £10,000 to £25,000 | A fixed bridge on implants, fitted in a day | Fixed |
| Individual implants for a full arch | £20,000 to £30,000+ | A tooth-by-tooth rebuild | Fixed |
Same Day Teeth often lands as the value sweet spot for patients who want fixed teeth without the cost or extended timeline of replacing every tooth individually. Your exact figure depends on your scans and plan.
What makes the price vary
Two patients rarely pay exactly the same, and there are good reasons for that.
The number of implants matters, as some arches need more than four for stability. The material of the final bridge changes the cost, with high-strength ceramics priced above acrylic options. Whether you need extractions, gum treatment, or grafting on the day affects the surgical time. And the complexity of your case, particularly if you’ve had failed treatment before, plays a part.
This is why a quoted “from” price online is only ever a starting point. A proper assessment with scans is the only way to get a figure that means anything for your mouth.
Why the clinician changes the value, not just the price
Here’s the thing about full-arch implant work. The skill of the surgeon affects not only your result but how long that result lasts, which makes the cost-per-year of a well-placed case very different from a poorly placed one.
Dr Richard Brookshaw has placed more than 5,000 implants and was one of the first six dentists in the UK to gain the Diploma in Implant Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh. He founded CADE, the Centre for Advanced Dental Education, where he teaches other dentists implantology, and lectures internationally for Nobel Biocare. When you weigh up cost, it’s worth remembering you’re paying for that depth of experience, not just the components. You can read his full background on the team page.
How the day itself works
Same Day Teeth earns its name, but the planning happens well before.
First comes a consultation and 3D scanning, where the case is mapped out using on-site digital technology. On the day of surgery, any remaining failing teeth are removed, the implants are placed, and a fixed temporary bridge is attached, so you leave with teeth that look and function like a real set. You don’t spend a single day without a smile.
A healing period follows, usually a few months, while the implants fuse with the bone. Once that’s complete, your final, permanent bridge is fitted. You can read more about the Same Day Teeth protocol on the dedicated page.
Spreading the cost
A five-figure treatment is a serious decision, and few people pay it all upfront. Hale Dental offers flexible payment options designed to spread the cost over time, which makes fixed teeth achievable for many patients who assumed they were out of reach. The full detail, including current finance arrangements, sits on the fees and finance page, and the team will talk you through what’s possible for your budget at consultation.
Comfort, not clinical fear
For something this involved, the experience is gentler than people expect. The clinic sits above a cafe in Hale village, treatment rooms have TVs on the ceiling for nervous patients to focus on, and the team is known for patient-led pacing. Surgery of this kind is carried out with your comfort planned for at every stage.
FAQ
How much does Same Day Teeth cost in Cheshire?
As a general guide, Same Day Teeth, also called All-on-4, typically ranges from around £10,000 to £25,000 per arch in the UK. The figure depends on the number of implants, the material of your final bridge, and whether extractions or grafting are needed. At Hale Dental near Altrincham, your exact fee is confirmed after a consultation and 3D scans, with payment plans available.
Is Same Day Teeth cheaper than individual implants?
Usually, yes. Replacing every tooth in an arch with its own implant can cost £20,000 to £30,000 or more, whereas Same Day Teeth supports a full fixed bridge on four or more implants, often from around £10,000 to £25,000 per arch. It’s frequently the more cost-effective route to fixed teeth, which is why many patients choose it over a tooth-by-tooth rebuild.
Do you really get teeth on the same day?
Yes. On the day of surgery, failing teeth are removed if needed, the implants are placed, and a fixed temporary bridge is fitted, so you leave with a working set of teeth. The permanent bridge comes later, once the implants have fused with the bone over a few months of healing. You’re never left without teeth during the process.
Are Same Day Teeth worth the cost?
For many patients, yes. They provide fixed teeth that don’t move, look natural, and let you eat normally, unlike a removable denture. Placed by an experienced surgeon, full-arch implants can last many years, which spreads the cost over a long lifespan. Whether they suit you depends on your health and jaw, confirmed at an assessment with Dr Richard Brookshaw.
Can I spread the cost of Same Day Teeth?
Yes. Hale Dental offers flexible payment options to spread the cost of treatment over time, so you don’t have to pay the full amount upfront. The team will explain the current arrangements and what fits your circumstances during your consultation. Full details are available on the practice’s fees and finance page, or by calling the clinic directly.
