The All-on-4+ treatment concept is a dental implant procedure designed to restore a full set of teeth with minimal surgical intervention.
This innovative approach involves placing four or more strategically positioned titanium implants into the jawbone, which serve as a stable foundation for a permanent, full-fixed set of teeth.
Unlike traditional dental implants that require months of healing before prosthetic placement, All-on-4® allows patients to receive fixed, fully functional teeth within 3-4 hours.
With only four to six implants needed per arch, and no requirements for significant bone grafting, this procedure reduces surgical time and post-operative discomfort.
The posterior implants are placed at an angled position, maximizing contact with available bone and ensuring a strong, long-lasting foundation.
Our custom-designed prosthetics mimic the shape, colour, and function of natural teeth for a beautifully restored smile.
Say goodbye to uncomfortable, removable dentures that cause irritation and require messy adhesives.
The All-on-4+ procedure is ideal for patients who:
Are missing many or all of their teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
Are experiencing severe tooth decay or advanced gum disease that has compromised natural teeth.
Want a permanent, fixed solution rather than removable dentures.
Have insufficient bone volume for traditional implant methods.
Desire a quick transformation with immediate teeth replacement.
Are in good overall health and looking for a long-term solution for missing teeth.
The success of the All-on-4+ concept lies in osseointegration, the biological process where the titanium implants fuse with the jawbone. The unique tilted placement of the posterior implants increases surface contact with the bone, providing enhanced support and reducing the need for bone grafting. This makes All-on-4+ a highly efficient and cost-effective solution compared to traditional full-arch rehabilitation.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, All-on-4® implants can last decades or even a lifetime. To maintain your implants, follow these care recommendations:
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to clean your prosthetic teeth.
These help remove debris from around implants and ensure optimal gum health.
Visit your dentist every 6 months for professional cleaning and implant evaluation.
The All-on-4+ procedure offers a second chance at a confident, fully functional smile in just a matter of days. If you’ve been struggling with missing teeth, uncomfortable dentures, or deteriorating oral health, All-on-4+ could be the perfect solution for you.
A genuine tooth comprises of a root and a crown. When you contrast natural teeth with implant-supported replacements, you’ll notice they share similar fundamental components. Each possesses a crown, which is the visible part utilized for chewing food, and a root that firmly secures the tooth beneath the gum and integrates into the jawbone. The distinction lies in the material; the implant root is crafted from titanium, a well-established material also employed by surgeons for artificial joints. The ceramic crown, which is the only portion of the implant visible to the eye, mimics the aesthetics of the natural tooth.
Once the implant is placed, it serves as a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth or a dental crown. This replacement tooth, often made of ceramic or porcelain, is custom-designed to match the shape, size, and colour of the patient’s natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with the rest of the smile. This process of placing the final crown on the implant is done at Australian Implant Clinics.
Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options like bridges or dentures. They provide a more permanent solution as they fuse with the jawbone, offering stability and preventing bone loss. Implants also restore functionality by allowing patients to chew and speak with ease, and they contribute to maintaining overall oral health by preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting into the gap left by the missing tooth.
Dental implants are placed with the area numbed with a local anaesthetic, so there is no pain associated with the procedure. In patients who are anxious about having a dental procedure done, sedation options can be discussed as well. However, with modern advancements in dental implants, we often use a keyhole surgery technique using a digitally guided approach. In some cases, the implant is placed without any incision, and the procedure is done within 15 minutes. It may take you longer to have a filling done, than to have a dental implant placed!
Post-operatively, some discomfort is to be expected, but most patients do not need to take time off work, as long as the post-operative instructions are abided by. Any pain after the procedure is very well managed by pain medications. The discomfort typically goes away after 3 days, but can last up to 14 days, depending on the procedure and number of implants placed.

At Australian Implant Clinics, we are able to perform both the initial placement of the implant fixture (root) as well as the crown (visible portion of the implant). You will not have to travel to see another dentist for the entire process.
We use some of the most internationally recognised brands of dental implants. This means that you can be assured that if you do relocate to a different area or country, any dentist with some experience with maintaining or working with dental implants will be able to source parts for it should it be necessary. This is a frequently overlooked factor, but serviceability of a dental implant should be one of the most important things a patient should consider prior to choosing an implant clinic.
Your implant will also be restored with genuine components and an Australian made ceramic crown. This is a critical factor as well. The crown is the only visible part of the implant, and it should be made by a talented dental technician. We work with a some of the most highly skilled ceramic artisans, who will be able to deliver the most aesthetic implant crown possible.
Our base fees for a dental implant, from start to finish, is $3,995 or $39 per week.
Dental implants provide a reliable, safe, aesthetic, and long-lasting solution for individuals seeking to restore the function and aesthetics of their smile after tooth loss. Contact our clinics to find out more about how we can help you.
