What is All-On-4 dental implants?
Simply put, the procedure gives a fixed arch of teeth with just four dental implants. While a traditional dental implant procedure requires 6–8 dental implants to replace all the teeth in a single row, All-on-4 revolutionises all aspects of dental restoration, including All on 4 costs in Melbourne.
Since it was introduced in 1998 by Nobel Care, All-on-4 has transformed the smile of several millions of people with a success rate of over 98 per cent.
As a trusted name for All-on-4 dental implants Melbourne, we provide restorations with immediate prosthetics after the procedure.
All On 4 procedure steps at The Smile Designer
The entire procedure is generally completed in two to three appointments. Our expert implant dentists simplify things for you and ensure you get a customised treatment based on your needs.
Who can get All-On-4?
Though All-on-4 is designed for patients with all or significant teeth loss, not everyone is eligible to get the procedure. People who have significant jawbone loss may not be eligible. Also, patients with complex general or oral health conditions or people who can't receive invasive procedures may not be able to receive the All-on-4 procedure.
Please visit The Smile Designer for a dental implant consultation. Our dentists will confirm whether the All-on-4 procedure can be the choice for your dental restoration needs.
Other options we may present you with include, but are not limited to, overdentures that are supported by 2 or 4 implants, as well as fixed hybrid implant dentures that are supported by 4 to 6 implants. There are many variations as to what is possible, and our team will guide you through these options and fees.
The All On 4 implants process
The All on 4 technique uses longer dental implants that are placed on an angle which engages parts of the jawbone where there is sufficient existing bone.
In some cases, the procedure can be done where our patients receive "teeth in a day", where the dental restorations are fabricated and inserted within a short period of time.
Sometimes though, the best option will be to place six implants, sometimes called All-on-6 or All on X, and having a fixed implant bridge, or a removable implant supported denture.

Two options, priced per arch
Two prosthesis options are available for All-on-4 treatment at The Smile Designer, priced per arch. Your dentist will confirm which option is suitable for you following a clinical assessment.
Prices are a guide only and start from the amounts shown per arch; your personalised quote follows a clinical assessment. Payment plans are available to approved applicants — *administration and payment plan fees apply. Our team can also help with enquiries about early release of superannuation on compassionate grounds. In many cases, people with low jawbone density can receive All-on-4 implants after a bone grafting procedure; if we identify that this can work for you, we will perform bone grafting before starting the All-on-4 procedure.
Consultation & tailored treatment planning
During the initial consultation, we will listen to you and check your teeth, gums, and jawbone to fully understand the issue. Based on our visual examination, we may take digital X-rays and images of your mouth to learn the anatomy of your oral structure, and check your current oral and general health condition as well as your treatment history. Our dentists will advise you and guide you to the correct approach — we also have an extensive network of dentists and surgeons that we work with.
Our implant dentist will then create a tailored treatment plan based on your oral condition and your expectations — with all the details of the procedure, including the number of dental visits, the need for any tooth removal, the positions of the implants in your jaw, the recovery period, the outcome from the treatment, and more.
Why choose The Smile Designer?
At The Smile Designer, we work to improve our patients' oral health through high-quality treatment procedures.
