Complete Clinical Guide to All-on-4 Implant Dentures
Who does what
All-on-4 is a fixed full-arch bridge on four implants. It suits people who want teeth that do not come out and who are prepared for surgery and a larger budget.
We do not place implants. Your dentist or implant surgeon plans and performs the surgery. Our part is the teeth: we take the records, make the prosthesis in our lab in Oak Park, fit it, and repair it if it ever chips. Dentists who want to refer a case can read about our implant prosthetics lab service.
How All-on-4 works
Four implants support a full arch of fixed teeth. The two at the front go in straight. The two at the back are angled, which lets the surgeon use the stronger bone further forward and, for many people, avoid a bone graft.
If the bone is firm enough, a temporary fixed bridge is usually attached within a day or two of surgery. The final bridge is made once the implants have healed, typically three to six months later. That final bridge is the part we make.
Who it suits, and who it does not
All-on-4 tends to suit people who have lost, or are about to lose, most of the teeth in one jaw, who want teeth that never come out, and who are healthy enough for surgery.
It is a harder decision if you smoke, have poorly controlled diabetes, or need a lower cost. Those factors raise the risk of implant problems or put the treatment out of reach, and your implant dentist will talk you through them.
Fixed bridge or snap-on denture?
| All-on-4 fixed bridge | Snap-on overdenture | |
|---|---|---|
| Implants per arch | 4 | Usually 2 to 4 |
| Comes out? | Only by your dentist | Yes, you clip it out to clean |
| Cleaning | Water flosser and brushes under the bridge daily | Brush the denture and the implant studs |
| Typical total in Melbourne | Commonly $20,000 to $30,000 per arch, including surgery | Our denture fee $2,200-$4,200 per arch, plus implant surgery |
The fixed bridge feels closer to natural teeth. The snap-on denture costs far less, needs fewer implants and is easier to keep clean. For a loose lower denture, the snap-on route is often enough.
Questions worth asking your surgeon
- How many implants do I need, and why that number?
- Will I need a bone graft?
- What is included in the quote: temporary bridge, final bridge, reviews?
- What happens and what does it cost if an implant fails?
- Who makes the final bridge, and can I see examples of their work?
Other options we make in our lab
If All-on-4 is more than you need or more than you can spend right now, these are the options we make in our own lab:
- Snap-on dentures clip onto two to four implants placed by your dentist. Our denture fee is $2,200-$4,200 per arch, and the implant surgery is quoted separately by your dentist. Far fewer implants than a full-arch bridge.
- Full dentures from $1,100 per arch, made and fitted here, with no surgery.
- Immediate dentures from $1,450 per arch, fitted the same day your teeth come out, so you are never without teeth.
- Relines from $290 if your current denture is loose and you are not ready to replace it.
