If you’re living with multiple missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures, All-on-4 dental implants offer a revolutionary solution that can transform your smile in a single day. This technique has changed the way Australians approach full-arch tooth replacement, giving you a permanent, natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures.
At Advanced Dental Care Mosman Dentist, our experienced team combines advanced implant technology with personalised care. Read on to know how All-on-4 dental implants can restore your smile in as little as one day!
What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is an advanced dental implant technique that replaces an entire arch of teeth using just four strategically placed titanium implants. Unlike conventional implant methods that may require six to eight implants per arch, this approach uses two implants positioned at the front of your jaw and two angled at the back, creating a stable foundation for a full set of replacement teeth.
The beauty of All-on-4 lies in its efficiency. By angling the back implants, your dentist can maximise the use of available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafting procedures that can add months to your treatment timeline.
The Life-Changing Benefits of All-on-4
Same-Day Smile Transformation
One of the most remarkable advantages of All-on-4 is the ability to walk out of the clinic with a full set of functional teeth on the same day as your surgery. After the implants are placed, a provisional bridge is attached immediately, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence while your implants integrate with the bone.
Preserves Your Jawbone Health
When teeth are missing, the jawbone naturally begins to deteriorate. All-on-4 implants stimulate the bone just like natural tooth roots through a process called osseointegration. This prevents bone loss and helps maintain your facial structure, keeping you looking younger and healthier.
A Cost-Effective Solution
Compared to individual implants for every missing tooth, All-on-4 offers significant cost savings. Using fewer implants means reduced surgical time, less healing required, and a more affordable path to a complete smile. While the initial investment may seem substantial, the longevity and quality of life improvements make it worthwhile for many Mosman residents.
Eat Your Favourite Foods Again
Traditional dentures can slip and make eating certain foods uncomfortable or embarrassing. With All-on-4 implants, you can bite into a crisp apple, enjoy a steak, and eat your favourite meals without worry. The stability of these implants gives you up to 70% more chewing power than conventional dentures.
What to Expect During Your All-on-4 Journey
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment at Advanced Dental Care Mosman. Dr Priya will use advanced 3D imaging technology to evaluate your jawbone density, oral health, and suitability for All-on-4 implants. This detailed planning ensures the best possible outcome for your unique situation.
The Procedure Day
On the day of your surgery, you’ll receive local anaesthesia to keep you comfortable. For patients who feel anxious, sedation options are available. The four titanium posts are carefully placed into predetermined positions in your jawbone, and a provisional bridge is attached the same day. The entire procedure typically takes two to three hours.
Healing and Integration
Over the following three to four months, your implants will fuse with your jawbone through osseointegration. During this time, you’ll wear your provisional teeth, which allow you to function normally while healing occurs. Regular check-ups keep everything on track.
Your Beautiful Smile
Once healing is complete, your custom-designed permanent bridge is fitted. These teeth are crafted to match the colour, shape, and size of natural teeth, creating a proper, beautiful smile that can last for decades with proper care.
Caring for Your All-on-4 Implants
Maintaining your All-on-4 implants is straightforward. Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, use interdental brushes or floss to clean around the implants, and attend regular dental check-ups every six months. Avoid smoking, as it can compromise implant stability and healing.
With consistent care, your All-on-4 implants can give you a lifetime of confident smiles and improved quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are All-on-4 dental implants and how do they work?
All-on-4 dental implants use four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This technique allows for a stable, fixed smile using fewer implants, often with a temporary set of teeth placed on the same day as surgery.
2. Is the All-on-4 procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, so you won’t feel pain during treatment. Some mild to moderate discomfort after surgery is normal, but this is usually manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief and proper aftercare.
3. Who is a good candidate for All-on-4 dental implants?
All-on-4 is suitable for many patients with multiple missing or failing teeth, including those with some bone loss. A comprehensive dental assessment is needed to determine if this treatment is the right option for your oral health and lifestyle.
