What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 is a full-arch implant solution that permanently replaces an entire row of teeth using just four titanium implants. The prosthetic arch attached to these implants looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth - without the inconvenience and limitations of conventional dentures.

For patients who are missing most or all teeth, or who are struggling with ill-fitting dentures, All-on-4 can be genuinely life-changing:

• No more slipping, clicking, or sore spots from loose dentures
• Eat a full, unrestricted diet
• Speak clearly and confidently
• Preserve the jawbone and facial structure
• A permanent smile you can care for like natural teeth

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does All-on-4 treatment take? The full All-on-4 process typically takes 3 to 6 months from initial consultation to final restoration, including the surgical placement phase, healing time, and prosthetic fitting. A same-day temporary arch may be placed on the day of surgery.

Is All-on-4 painful? The surgical procedure is performed under general anaesthesia as a day surgery - you will not feel anything during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is managed with prescribed pain relief and typically resolves within 1 to 2 weeks.

How long do All-on-4 implants last? With good oral hygiene and regular professional maintenance, All-on-4 implants can last 20 years or more. The titanium implants fuse permanently with the jawbone, while the prosthetic arch may require replacement or adjustment over time.

Am I a suitable candidate? Most adults with significant tooth loss or failing dentition are candidates for All-on-4. Adequate bone density is preferred but not always essential. A full clinical assessment - including imaging - determines your suitability and the best treatment approach.
