What Are
ALL-ON-4 IMPLANTS?
What if you could have a brand new smile in just over a few months? Then All-On-4 Implants are the ideal solution you have been looking for, it’s perfect for patients with multiple missing or damaged teeth. This innovative dental solution offers a remarkable way to replace an entire set of teeth using just four implants.
Unlike removable dental appliances like dentures, All-On-4 Implants allow you to restore your teeth with permanent and fixed dental prostheses which are fixed to your upper/lower jar resting on four dental implants that mimic the root of your tooth.
All-On-4 Dental Implants are designed to look, feel and function just like your natural tooth making it a great way to restore your smile while boosting your confidence.
Can I Get
ALL-ON-4 IMPLANTS?
The ideal candidates for All-on-4 treatment have multiple severely damaged/decayed teeth or missing teeth in need of replacement. While dental implants often need bone-grafting surgery to have enough bone density to support the treatment, the bone grafting procedure can most likely be skipped with All-On-4 Implants. This method is also an option for patients who have health conditions preventing them from getting implants.
For candidates who only need a single or few teeth replaced, we recommend alternatives such as implants, dentures or a dental bridge.

Key Benefits Of
ALL-ON-4 IMPLANTS
There are several advantages to choosing All-On-4 implants that directly impact your oral health and indirectly some other areas of your life too!
Prevents Bone Loss
One of the most dangerous side-effects of missing teeth is bone loss and degradation which can lead to further tooth loss, misalignment, facial pain and difficulty maintaining dental restorations. All-On-4 gives stronger dental support and inserts much-needed pressure on the jawbone to prevent this.
Easier Maintenance
Caring for All-On-4 teeth is far easier than dentures. This treatment simply requires regular brushing and flossing, alongside 6-month checkups at our practice to ensure your new teeth last as long as possible!
Reduced Recovery Time
Compared to other treatments that can take up to a year, All-On-4 has a significantly shorter treatment and recovery time since its implants can be secured to the existing jawbone, which takes away the need for a bone graft. Treatment takes a matter of days to complete.
Permanent
This is a permanent, fixed solution that doesn’t require multiple adjustments and fitting sessions at the practice, making it a more convenient treatment for our patients.
What Is The Difference Between
IMPLANTS, DENTURES & ALL-ON-4?
Individual Dental Implants VS All-On-4 Implants
Choosing individual dental implants to replace an entire set of teeth will involve many months of healing before dentures or crowns can be fitted in. All-On-4 implants require fewer implants so recovery time is drastically reduced.
Dentures VS All-On-4 Implants
Dentures are removable dental products that require regular maintenance and proper cleaning, as well as re-fitting every few years. With All-On-4 treatment, patients get a permanent solution that is fixed in place and is quite similar to taking care of their natural teeth.
The All‑On‑4 Treatment
PROCESS
Here’s what to expect:
1. Initial Consultation: During your initial consultation, our experienced dentists assess your eligibility for All-On-4 implants with a thorough assessment of your oral health and then create a customised treatment plan.
2. Implant Placement & Provisional Bridge: Four titanium implants will be placed into your jawbone and we will take impressions of your teeth to create a provisional bridge which will stay in place for 4-6 months until your dental implants heal.
3. Permanent Prosthetic Teeth: Once your implants have fully healed, your custom-made set of prosthetic teeth made with premium materials will be placed on your implants.
4. Enjoy your new smile!
How Do You Take Care Of
IMPLANT-SUPPORTED DENTURES?
All you need to maintain your new teeth is a consistent oral hygiene routine. Make sure to brush your teeth after each meal and floss daily to remove any accumulated bacteria. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush on your prosthetic teeth to avoid damaging them.

What Happens If I Don’t Replace
MY TEETH?
The maintenance of a healthy jawbone depends on regular stimulation. Typically, eating or chewing food with your teeth stimulates your jawbones. Sadly, losing teeth might interfere with this stimulation, making your body think the jawbone is unnecessary. As a result, the bone can begin to weaken and provide the appearance of a sunken face. In order to fill in the gaps in your smile, the remaining teeth will eventually tilt, which raises the possibility of decay, wear and strain, and cracks.
These possible problems can be avoided and a bright smile and a strong facial structure can be supported by taking good care of your teeth and thinking about tooth replacement solutions like implant-supported dentures.
As conventional dentures lie on top of your gums and don’t stimulate your jawbone, you’ll face gradual bone deterioration. As your jawbone shrinks and your face adjusts, the fit of your dentures will be affected and it won’t be able to stay in place. Since dental implants are inserted into your jawbone, it tricks the body into thinking that natural teeth are present preventing further bone loss.
