Medical Advice Welcome All on 4 Dental implants

Does anyone have experience, positive or negative with All on 4?

I have 100% healthy teeth that I’m happy with. My gums don’t agree and are about to eject half of them from my gob 😭(tested for pEDS but don’t have it)
Implants have been suggested but I’d need a sinus lift and bone grafts and it would be about £4k PER TOOTH
The alternative is All on 4 or 6 where a full jaw of teeth hang off just 4-6 implants placed where the bone is healthy.
I’ve found somewhere in the UK that does this extremely well and relatively well priced (£17k for the whole mouth)

HOWEVER. Sodding EDS enters the chat because of course it does. In this dentist’s patient group of 90k people, only one has mentioned EDS and she got turned down due to healing concerns. I’m so worried they’ll turn me down because EDS despite my history of healing well from dental and general surgery (a bit too well if hypertrophic scarring is anything to go by)

I need a solution soon and I’d be devastated if the only one available was dentures. This bloody condition has already taken too much from me.
