What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 replaces an entire upper or lower row of teeth using four titanium implants. A fixed prosthetic arch is permanently attached to those implants, giving you a complete, natural-looking set of teeth that stays in place.

Unlike conventional dentures, an All-on-4 restoration:

• Is permanently fixed — no removal for cleaning or overnight soaking
• Restores full chewing function with no dietary restrictions
• Looks and feels like natural teeth
• Stops the bone loss that follows tooth loss
• Improves speech, confidence, and quality of life

Pricing guide

All-on-4 treatment at Core Dental Group covers the full pathway: assessment, prosthetic design, surgical coordination, and aftercare. Treatment starts from approximately $31,000 AUD for a single arch and $56,000 AUD for a dual-arch (upper and lower) restoration. A detailed written quote specific to your clinical needs is provided before any treatment begins.

Interest-free payment plans are available through Payright, spreading the cost over up to 30 months. HICAPS health fund claiming is available on the spot.

Frequently asked questions

Can I eat normally after All-on-4? Most patients start with soft foods after surgery and progress to a full diet as healing continues — typically within 3 to 6 months. Once the final prosthesis is in place, there are no dietary restrictions.

Is All-on-4 better than dentures? For most patients, yes. All-on-4 implants are fixed, look and feel like natural teeth, and prevent the bone loss that dentures cannot stop. Dentures can cause sore spots, slippage, and dietary restrictions. All-on-4 avoids all of that.

How long is the recovery after surgery? Surgery is typically done under general anaesthesia as day surgery. Most patients are back at a desk job within a week, with physical comfort continuing to improve over the following weeks.

Do Medicare or health funds cover All-on-4? Some Medicare rebates may apply to the hospital surgical component. Private health insurance with major dental cover can contribute to the prosthetic portion. Our team can walk you through your entitlements at the time of consultation.
