All-on-4 Full Arch

A complete arch of fixed, non-removable teeth supported by as few as four implants — often fitted the same day as surgery. For people missing most or all of their teeth, or facing the loss of failing teeth.

All-on-4 full arch bridge on four implants
Overview

Four implants. A full set of fixed teeth.

All-on-4 (also called All-on-X or full-arch implants) replaces the entire upper or lower set of teeth with a fixed bridge anchored on 4–6 dental implants. The rear implants are placed at a calculated angle, which anchors them in the densest available bone — meaning many patients avoid bone grafting entirely, even after years of wearing dentures.

Because the bridge is fixed to implants, it doesn't move, doesn't come out at night, and doesn't rely on suction or adhesives. You bite, chew and speak with confidence — and in most cases, a fixed provisional bridge is attached on the day of surgery, so you never go without teeth.

This is the flagship treatment at The Implant Standard, planned with CBCT 3D imaging and led by Dr Hyun Soo Yu (MSc Implantology, FICOI).

Is All-on-4 right for you?

  • Most or all teeth missing in the upper or lower arch — or both.
  • Failing teeth from advanced decay or gum disease, headed for extraction.
  • Loose or frustrating dentures that move, hurt or limit what you eat.
  • Told you lack bone for implants — angled placement often makes All-on-4 possible without grafting.
  • Wanting a fixed, permanent result rather than something removable.
The process

From failing teeth to fixed teeth.

01

Free consultation & CBCT scan

3D imaging maps your bone and confirms whether All-on-4 suits you — including if you've previously been told you lack bone.

02

Digital smile design

Your new teeth are designed first: shape, shade and bite. The implant positions are then planned around that final result.

03

Surgery day

Any failing teeth are removed and 4–6 implants placed in one visit — under sedation or general anaesthesia if you choose. In most cases your fixed provisional bridge is attached the same day.

04

Healing period

Over roughly 3–6 months the implants fuse with your bone while you eat a modified diet on your provisional teeth.

05

Final bridge fitted

Your definitive, precision-milled bridge replaces the provisional — stronger, refined and built for everyday life.

06

Maintenance for life

Simple home care plus regular professional maintenance visits keep your new teeth in top condition.

Costs & payment

Clear pricing, flexible ways to pay.

All-on-4 is quoted individually after your CBCT scan, because implant number, extractions and sedation choices vary case by case. What we promise: a fixed, itemised quote before you commit to anything, and every payment pathway on the table — interest-free plans, HICAPS claiming, staged treatment and early release of super* for eligible patients.

Many patients fund All-on-4 partly or fully through the ATO's compassionate release of super provisions for medically necessary treatment — we prepare the clinical reports your application needs.

Common questions

All-on-4 Full Arch — answered.

Do I really get teeth the same day?
In most cases, yes — a fixed provisional bridge is attached to your implants on the day of surgery. It looks natural and lets you eat soft foods immediately, while your final bridge is made after healing.
Is All-on-4 painful?
Surgery is done under local anaesthetic with sedation or full general anaesthesia available, so you feel nothing during the procedure. Most patients manage post-operative discomfort with simple pain relief and are surprised how quickly they recover.
How is this different from dentures?
Dentures rest on your gums and rely on suction or adhesive; All-on-4 is screwed to implants anchored in your bone. It doesn't move, doesn't come out, restores far more chewing power and prevents the bone loss dentures accelerate.
How long does All-on-4 last?
The implants are designed to last decades with good hygiene and maintenance. The bridge itself is highly durable and can be serviced or renewed over time without redoing the implants.
Can I have both arches done?
Yes — upper and lower arches can be treated in the same surgical visit, which is common for patients under general anaesthesia.
