Living with missing teeth can impact your ability to eat, speak, and smile comfortably, making daily life more challenging. Over time, gaps in your teeth can also lead to jawbone loss, shifting teeth, and other oral health complications.

All-on-4 dental implants offer a lasting, complete restoration to improve the patient’s quality of life. For this technique, four implants support a full arch of replacement teeth, providing a stable, natural-looking smile while preventing bone deterioration.

At Dental Gigi, we offer All-on-4 dental implants to address the challenges caused by missing teeth. Book an appointment today for a consultation and learn how All-on-4 implants can transform your smile and overall oral health.

Are You a Good Candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?

All-on-4 dental implants are ideal for people seeking a long-lasting treatment option for tooth loss. To determine if this is the right treatment for you, it’s important to consider the following factors:

  • Significant tooth loss:

    Ideal candidates are patients who have lost most or all teeth in one or both arches, making them suitable for full-arch restoration. All-on-4 implants can replace multiple teeth in a single procedure.

  • Adequate bone structure:

    Candidates need sufficient bone density to support the four implants. While bone grafting procedures may be possible, those with adequate bone require fewer preparatory procedures.

  • Non-smoker or ability to quit:

    Smoking can hinder healing and reduce implant success rates. The patient has to be a non-smoker or at least willing to quit during the entire treatment process.

  • Good general health:

    Candidates must be free of chronic conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, which can interfere with healing and implant osseointegration. Maintaining overall good health promotes faster recovery and less probability of complications.

  • No advanced gum disease:

    Healthy gums are essential for successful implant placement. Candidates with severe gum disease need additional treatment before becoming suitable for All-on-4 implants.

You may have heard of ALL-ON-4s but have you heard about ALL-ON-6s? In the image above is an example of one of our patients with a successfully completed ALL-ON-6. The patient presented to us with severe issues and needing a complete oral rehabilitation. She was unable to chew and eat simple items such as apples or basic food which had to be cut into smaller parts. After a complete work up with thorough planning with CBCT, Specially Manufactured Guide and a thorough process over some months, the patients now has an All-on-6 Dental Implants on her lower arch combined together with a high quality Zirconia bridge made locally in Australia. This is supported with an opposing upper denture. She is now able to enjoy eating and over the moon with her results. We always focus on the best quality. 

Enjoy the Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4 dental implants offer a convenient and lasting option for replacing multiple missing teeth with minimal downtime. Here are the key benefits of All-on-4 dental implants that suitable candidates can enjoy:

  • Same-day restoration:

    All-on-4 implants allow patients to leave the clinic with a full set of functioning teeth immediately after surgery. This avoids the extended waiting time required for traditional implant healing before placing the prosthesis.

  • Uses fewer implants:

    With only four implants per arch, the procedure is less complex than traditional implants, which may require more placements. This minimises surgical time and recovery period.

  • Stability and comfort:

    All-on-4 implants anchor securely into the jawbone, providing exceptional stability and a more natural feel compared to dentures. This prevents the slipping or shifting often associated with traditional dentures.

  • Prevents bone loss:

    The implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots, helping to maintain bone density. This prevents bone deterioration, which usually occurs when teeth are missing, and preserves facial structure.

  • Long-lasting results:

    With proper care, All-on-4 implants can last at least 20 years or more, making them a durable and cost-effective option.

Frequently Asked Questions About All-on-4 Dental Implants

Learn more from the most commonly asked questions about All-on-4 dental implants to better understand this procedure.

All-on-4 dental implants can support a full arch of teeth. This approach utilises four implants to secure all teeth in your upper or lower jaw. Dental implants provide a stable base for the artificial teeth, enhancing function and appearance. It is an effective option for those needing comprehensive dental restoration.

The All-on-4 dental implant treatment causes minimal pain. During the surgical procedure, patients may experience the following:

  • Pressure: You will feel pressure as implants are inserted into the jawbone. This is necessary to securely anchor the implants, providing a stable foundation for the new teeth.
  • Vibration: Using a dental drill to prepare the jawbone for implants produces a vibrating sensation. This occurs because drilling into bone transfers vibrations to the surrounding tissues.
  • Mild discomfort: Local anaesthesia significantly reduces pain during the procedure. However, some discomfort may be felt as the anaesthesia wears off, a normal reaction to surgical procedures.

By recognising what to anticipate in terms of sensations during the All-on-4 implant treatment, patients can feel more at ease and prepared. Dental Gigi prioritises effective communication about these sensations to help reduce any anxiety related to the procedure, helping you feel supported every step of the way.

The All-on-4 dental implant surgery can take about 2–2.5 hours per arch. This time includes preparing the mouth for implants and the precise placement of four implants. The procedure is streamlined to allow for the immediate function of the new teeth. Patients can leave the clinic on the same surgery day with a fully functional set of temporary teeth.

Despite the significant benefits of All-on-4 dental implants, they have some limitations to consider. Here are the main cons associated with All-on-4 implants:

  • Bone quality requirements: Patients with insufficient jawbone density may need bone grafts prior to implant placement. This adds complexity and increases the overall All-on-4 dental implant cost.
  • Initial costs: The initial payment for All-on-4 implants is substantial, which may be discouraging for some compared to more affordable options like conventional dentures.
  • Procedure complexity: The surgical nature of the procedure comes with risks such as infection or nerve damage, which may be concerning for patients.
  • Irreversibility: Once placed, All-on-4 implants cannot be easily altered or detached, which may limit future changes if complications or changes in patient preference occur.
  • Maintenance: They require diligent oral hygiene and frequent dental check-ups to maintain their health and function, demanding more effort than care for normal teeth or dentures.

Reviewing the potential drawbacks of the All-on-4 procedure will help patients understand the commitment involved. At Dental Gigi, we guide you through these considerations, helping to prepare you thoroughly for what to expect.

Yes, All-on-4 implants can fall out in rare cases. This is usually due to the following causes:

  • Poor osseointegration: If the implants do not fuse properly with the bone, they can become loose over time, leading to failure.
  • Bone loss: Loss of bone around the implant site weakens its foundation, causing instability and eventually leading to the implant falling out.
  • Peri-implantitis: This infection affects the gum and bone around the implant, resorbing the supporting bone and potentially causing the implant to detach.
  • Excessive force or trauma: Excessive pressure from grinding or sudden impact can loosen the implants over time.

Addressing these causes early can greatly reduce the chances of implant failure. Dental Gigi prioritises patient care, including monitoring and maintenance, to minimise the risk of implants becoming loose or failing.

No, these implants are not removable by patients. These implants are securely attached to four titanium posts embedded in the jawbone. Unlike conventional dentures, they stay in place and function like normal teeth. Only a dentist can access and detach them when necessary, such as during professional cleanings or adjustments. This design provides stability and long-term function, offering patients a reliable replacement option for missing teeth that don’t require daily removal or special handling at home.

Cleaning under All-on-4 dental implants is essential to maintaining oral health. Here are the steps to follow for effective cleaning:

  1. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush: Gently brush around the implants twice daily so all surfaces are cleaned, especially around the gumline.
  2. Interdental brushes: Use a small brush specifically designed to clean between the implants and underneath the prosthetic bridge.
  3. Water flosser: Use a water flosser to flush out debris and plaque from hard-to-reach areas under the implants.
  4. Antibacterial mouthwash: Rinse daily with an antibacterial mouthwash to reduce the risk of dental disease and keep the implants clean.

Maintaining a proper cleaning routine can help extend the All-on-4 dental implant lifespan. Regular professional cleanings with our dental team will also help protect the implants from plaque buildup and other issues.

No, health funds normally do not cover the full All-on-4 dental implant cost. Health funds usually provide limited cover for major dental procedures, such as implants, and often only cover a portion of related dental treatments like initial consultations or preliminary procedures.

Patients may still have to cover a significant portion of the cost themselves, depending on their level of cover. It is important to check with your specific health fund to see what portion, if any, they may contribute towards the procedure.
