What is all on 4?
‘All on 4’ is the replacement of all teeth in an arch (upper or lower teeth) with an implant-supported dental bridge. The new teeth are supported by 4 or more dental implants.
Our aim is to give you your new teeth on the same day that your natural teeth are extracted.

Our experienced and caring team at the Carnegie Dental Implant centre will support you from the minute you arrive until you leave with your new smile.
Whilst you are asleep surgery is performed to place 4 or more Dental Implants into your jaw bone providing a solid foundation for your new teeth.
Upon waking from your surgery, you will spend time in recovery being cared for by our team of nurses.
Your new Dental Bridge will be inserted on the same day (or within 24 hours) so you can go home with your brand new smile.
Take home instructions and medication will be provided to ensure you recover as best as possible from the procedure and to maintain the healing health and stability of your new implants.
The bridge that is inserted on the same day as surgery remains firmly fixed to your implants for a period of approximately 3 months. During this time the dental implants become integrated into your jaw bone and your mouth remodels.
Following this healing period, impressions are taken to construct your permanent bridge. At Carnegie Dental Implant Centre we aim to improve the fit, feel, function and look of your new final fixed teeth.
It is imperative that you follow all aftercare instructions.
Maintenance regime will be established.
Periodic dental reviews will be needed to ensure the longevity of your new replacement teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Unlike traditional dental implants, which need to have a separate post for each of your missing teeth, All-On-4 can restore an entire lower or upper arch with just four dental implants.
As bone grafting is not required for this type of implant dentistry, it can be performed quickly and with less surgical intervention. This also shortens a patient's recovery time overall.
-
During your initial consultation with them, your dentist will advise if you are a suitable candidate for All-on-4 dental implant treatment.
However, as a general rule of thumb, this type of dental surgery is appropriate for most patients who suffer from severe gum disease and have lost many or all of their permanent teeth due to injury or tooth decay.
It might also be apt for those who can't have their teeth restored or don't see significant benefits from doing so.
-
On average, this dental implant solution takes about 2-4 hours to complete per arch during the surgical procedure.
Typically, this teeth replacement process incorporates the extraction of the tooth, the placement of a titanium implant, and having temporary prosthetic teeth fitted.
However, despite having only four dental implants inserted in your mouth, the overall process, from the initial consultation, when the treatment options are discussed, to when the permanent replacement teeth are put in the patient's mouth, can take anywhere from 6-12 months.
-
If you are worried about whether this dental implant treatment is painful, then don't worry. In the same way traditional implants are typically performed under local anesthetics, so is the procedure for four titanium implants.
This means you should not feel any pain when the work is done. However, you might experience swelling and discomfort for 3-4 days afterward.
-
This type of deteriorated teeth replacement is a relatively new development in dental implants.
However, it is regarded by some as a permanent solution to missing teeth as it can last for 20 to 25 years if a person looks after them by maintaining good oral hygiene.
-
While having four titanium implants inserted into your mouth to complement your remaining teeth can significantly improve your smile, it can take some time to heal from the surgery.
Depending on the individual, this could take anywhere from a couple of weeks to six months.
-
The cost of having individual implants put in your mouth will vary depending on several factors, such as the personalised treatment plan developed for you, the implant placement fitted by the dental prosthesis, and how many broken teeth you have.
Before any dental prosthetist work begins, you will be given a comprehensive quote outlining the total cost.
