The implants anchor a complete dental bridge, offering a stable, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing smile without the need for removable dentures.

The All-on-4 system is designed for patients with:
Significant tooth loss or severe decay.
Current dentures that cause discomfort or mobility issues.

The All-on-4 Procedure: What to Expect
Surgery Day: The All-on-4 procedure takes approximately 6–8 hours, during which four implants are placed, and a temporary bridge is fitted. You’ll leave the clinic with a functional smile on the same day.
Recovery: We recommend a week off from work post-surgery to allow initial healing. During the first 8–12 weeks, a soft-food diet is advised to support the integration of implants with the jawbone. After 12 weeks, patients can resume a regular diet.
Aftercare and Maintenance: Daily brushing and the use of an interdental toothbrush are essential to maintain the health of your implants. Regular check-ups, ideally once or twice a year, include removing the bridge for deep cleaning at our dental laboratory.
Long-Term Support and Financing Options
To ensure that your smile remains in top condition, we recommend regular visits for professional cleaning. Additionally, we offer a variety of payment options, including interest-free financing for up to 24 months, making your All-on-4 treatment affordable and stress-free.
“Teeth In A Day” or “Smile In A Day” Dental Implant Concept.
When selecting materials for All-on-4 implant bridges, our practice favours Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) over zirconia for full jaw restorations. This preference stems from PMMA's ability to be crafted with multiple layers, resulting in a more natural and lifelike appearance. Additionally, PMMA's lightweight nature offers enhanced comfort compared to the denser zirconia, which some patients may find heavier. Furthermore, PMMA bridges are easily repairable and more cost-effective, whereas zirconia bridges, though durable, can be challenging and expensive to fix if damaged. Therefore, PMMA presents a practical and aesthetically pleasing choice for patients seeking full jaw implant solutions.
