All-on-4 is best suited to patients with extensive tooth loss or failing teeth who want a permanent, fixed alternative to traditional dentures. Conventional dentures can be uncomfortable, slip during eating or speaking, and contribute to bone loss over time. All-on-4 dental implants address these limitations by providing a stable, fixed solution that looks and functions like natural teeth

What is All On 4 Perth Implants?

The term ‘ALL-ON-4’ refers to the replacement of ALL teeth ON FOUR dental implants.

This procedure can be either on the upper jaw, lower jaw or both.

It is a recently developed technique where the back implants are tilted 45º to provide the required support for total rehabilitation. The tilting the back of implants aids in overcoming bone deficiencies often found in the back of the jaws and most often avoids the need for bone grafting.

Benefits of All on 4 Perth Dental Implants

All-on-4 offers numerous advantages over conventional tooth replacement solutions, making it an increasingly popular choice for patients with extensive tooth loss. Because the implants transmit chewing forces into the jaw, they also help prevent the bone loss that follows tooth loss, and most patients are surprised at how natural the result looks. You can see before and after photos of our own patients here.

• Immediate Results: Walk out with a complete set of temporary teeth on the same day as your surgery. No need to wait months without teeth or struggle with gaps in your smile.
• Stability and Confidence: Your new teeth are permanently fixed in place and won’t slip or move while eating or speaking. You can smile, laugh, and talk with complete confidence, knowing your teeth will stay exactly where they should be.
• Natural Look and Feel: All-on-4 implants look similar and feel just like natural teeth. Most people won’t be able to tell the difference between your implant-supported teeth and natural ones.
• Full Chewing Ability: Restore 85-90% of your natural chewing power. Eat anything you want-steak, apples, nuts, and crusty bread are all back on the menu. No more dietary restrictions or struggling with tough foods.
• Preserves Your Jawbone: Unlike dentures that allow bone loss to continue, dental implants stimulate your jawbone and keep it healthy and intact. This prevents the sunken facial appearance that often comes with tooth loss.
• No Reliance on Natural Teeth: Implant-supported bridges replace your missing teeth without relying on your remaining natural teeth for support, protecting any healthy teeth you have left.
• Easy Maintenance: Brush and care for your All-on-4 teeth just like natural teeth. No need to remove them daily, use messy adhesives, or follow complicated cleaning routines.
• Long-lasting Solution: With proper care, your All-on-4 implants can last 20-30+ years, making them a worthwhile long-term investment in your quality of life.

All-on-4 Dental Implant Procedure in Perth

1. Consultation

During your first visit, we’ll conduct a comprehensive oral examination and organise a CBCT scan to assess your jawbone structure. This helps us determine if you’re a suitable candidate and create a personalised treatment plan.

We’ll discuss your smile goals, answer all your questions, and explain all costs and payment options upfront. If additional procedures like extractions or bone grafting are needed, we’ll discuss these during your consultation.

2. Treatment Day

The All-on-4 procedure is completed in one appointment, typically taking 2-4 hours.

• Preparation: We begin by taking precise measurements to ensure your new teeth match your natural facial proportions. Any remaining damaged teeth will be gently removed, and the treatment area will be thoroughly prepared.
• Implant Placement: Four titanium implants are precisely positioned in your jawbone. The front two implants are placed vertically, while the back two are angled at 45 degrees. This strategic placement maximises contact with your existing bone and avoids sensitive areas like nerves and sinuses, eliminating the need for bone grafting in most cases.
• Same-Day Temporary Teeth: Once the implants are secured, connecting pieces called abutments are attached. Your temporary all-acrylic prosthetic teeth are then fitted and secured. You leave our clinic with a complete, functional smile the same day.

Sedation Options Available:

• Local anaesthetic (standard)
• Minimal to moderate sedation
• Sleep dentistry for anxious patients

3. Healing Phase (3-6 Months)

Over the next few months, your implants naturally fuse with your jawbone through osseointegration. You’ll wear your temporary teeth during this time and can resume most normal activities. We’ll schedule regular check-ups to monitor your progress.

4. Your Permanent Smile

Once fully healed, we take new impressions for your final prosthetic. Your custom-made permanent teeth are crafted to your specifications, then fitted and secured with any necessary adjustments for perfect comfort.

What’s Included in Your All-on-4 Treatment?

The cost of All-on-4 dental implant therapy per arch includes:

• Four dental implants surgically placed in your jawbone
• Surgical placement procedure
• Same-day delivery of temporary all-acrylic teeth (you leave with a complete set of teeth on the same day)
• Custom-designed implant-supported fixed bridge

Is All-on-4 Right for You?

All-on-4 is ideal if you’re missing most or all teeth in one or both arches. For patients with just one or a few missing teeth, a single tooth implant may be more appropriate and cost-effective.

Risks and Complications of All-on-4 Dental Implants

All-on-4 has a strong long-term track record, but like any surgical procedure it carries risks. Understanding these before you commit helps you make an informed decision and know what to watch for during recovery. Our guide to All-on-4 problems and how they are managed goes through each one in more detail.

• Common short-term effects after surgery include swelling, bruising, and jaw discomfort. These are a normal part of healing and typically settle within one to two weeks. If anxiety around the procedure is a concern, we offer sleep dentistry and sedation options to keep you comfortable throughout.
• Implant failure is the most serious complication, though it is uncommon. It happens when one or more implants do not fuse properly with the jawbone during osseointegration. In most cases the implant can be removed, the site allowed to heal, and a replacement placed. Thorough pre-surgical planning using CBCT cone beam imaging lets us assess your bone density and anatomy in detail before the procedure, which significantly reduces this risk.
• Peri-implantitis is an infection of the tissue around the implant that, if left untreated, can lead to bone loss and eventual implant failure. Consistent oral hygiene and regular professional cleans are the most reliable way to prevent it.
• Factors that raise complication risk include smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, teeth grinding without a night guard, and poor oral hygiene after treatment. We cover all of these during your consultation so you understand your personal risk profile before proceeding.

Dr Justin Soon, our implant specialist, reviews every case individually to confirm candidacy and put the right safeguards in place from the start.

FAQs about All-on-4 Dental Implants Perth

Does Medicare or private health insurance cover All-On-4 implants?

Medicare does not cover dental implants in most cases. Dental care is generally excluded from Medicare coverage. Private health insurance provides limited coverage, typically $1,000 to $3,000 annually toward major dental work, depending on your policy level.

Can I sleep with All-On-4 implants?

Yes, All-On-4 implants are permanent and never removed. Only your dentist can take the prosthesis off for servicing, which is why they are described as fixed rather than removable. You sleep with them every night just like natural teeth. Traditional dentures should be removed at night. This allows gum tissues to rest and prevents fungal infections.

Is the All-On-4 procedure painful?

Can I eat normally with All-On-4 implants?

How long do All-on-4 dental implants take from start to finish?

From your initial consultation to your final permanent teeth, the All-on-4 process generally takes 4 to 6 months. We break this down stage by stage in our All-on-4 treatment timeline. We start with a consultation and digital planning to design your treatment. On treatment day, your implants are placed and you walk out the same visit with a fixed set of temporary teeth. The implants then need 3 to 6 months to integrate fully with your jawbone, during which time you can eat, speak, and smile normally with your temporary teeth. Once healing is complete, your permanent prosthesis is fitted.

Can All-on-4 implants fail, and what happens if they do?

All-on-4 dental implants have a high long-term success rate when patients maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular follow-up appointments. Existing gum disease needs to be treated before implants are placed. As with any surgical procedure, there is a small risk of complications. The most common causes of implant failure are infection around the implant (known as peri-implantitis), poor integration with the jawbone, smoking, and uncontrolled medical conditions such as diabetes. If an implant does fail, in most cases it can be removed and a replacement placed once the area has healed. Regular check-ups are important so that any early signs of trouble can be addressed before they become serious.

What is the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

The main difference is the number of implants used to support the full-arch prosthesis. All-on-4 uses four titanium implants, with the two back implants angled at around 45 degrees to maximise contact with the existing bone and often avoid the need for bone grafting. All-on-6 uses six implants, providing additional support and a more even distribution of bite forces. We compare all three options in All-on-4 vs All-on-6 vs All-on-8. All-on-6 is sometimes recommended when more bone is available or when extra reinforcement is preferred. Both options provide a fixed, permanent set of teeth. Which approach is right for you depends on the condition of your jawbone, your bite, and your treatment goals, we discuss this in detail at your consultation.

How do I clean and maintain my All-on-4 implants?

Looking after your All-on-4 implants is similar to looking after your natural teeth, with a few important additions (our full guide to cleaning All-on-4 implants covers the technique in detail):

- Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste - Clean under and around the prosthesis daily using interdental brushes or a water flosser, which are more effective than regular floss for cleaning beneath a fixed bridge - Use a low-abrasive antibacterial mouthwash if recommended by your dentist - Avoid biting down on very hard foods such as ice or bones, which can damage the prosthesis - Attend regular check-ups and professional cleans so we can monitor your implants, prosthesis, and surrounding gum tissue

Good daily hygiene and regular professional reviews are the single biggest factor in the long-term success of your implants.

Can I get All-on-4 if I have bone loss?

Yes, the All-on-4 technique was specifically designed for patients with reduced bone volume. By placing the two back implants at an angle of around 45 degrees, the procedure makes use of the denser bone toward the front of the jaw and in most cases avoids the need for bone grafting that traditional implants would require. Where bone volume is very limited we may discuss bone grafting or zygomatic implants as alternatives. We arrange CBCT imaging as part of your consultation to assess your jawbone in detail and confirm whether All-on-4 is suitable for your situation. In cases of more severe bone loss, we may discuss preparatory treatment or alternative approaches at your consultation, so you have a clear picture of what is achievable.
