All-on-4 Dental Implants
It’s amazing what a team of four can achieve.
The all-on-four dental implant technique was pioneered by Dr. Paulo Malo in Portugal using the Nobel Bio-Care implant system. Since then, this technique has transformed the lives of thousands of people around the world.
The all-on-four dental implant technique is indicated where all teeth in a single jaw need to be removed. Traditionally, a full denture or an implant over denture would have been the only viable options, which can unfortunately limit comfort, aesthetics and bite forces.
The all-on-four implant can improve nearly all of the negatives of a traditional denture because it offers a very strong and fixed solution.
All On 4 Implants Process

Phase 2
Ensure healing, reline/redo acrylic teeth to ensure fit.
Phase 2 completed. Treatment complete for most patients.
Phase 3
If additional strength is needed, we have the option to upgrade to Zirconium teeth with a titanium bar. This is not needed by everyone.

Other Options
In certain cases we could use two implants and do an implant over-denture. Although not suitable for everybody, it can halve the treatment fees.
