Clinical Outcome

All-On-4 treatment was completed with four implants placed and fixed prosthesis delivered following healing period. Treatment required multiple appointments over several months. The patient maintained appropriate oral hygiene practices following treatment completion.

Frequently Asked Questions for Greenvale and Craigieburn Patients

Can All-On-4 replace both front and back teeth?

All-On-4 provides full arch replacement including both anterior and posterior teeth. Four implants support a complete arch of replacement teeth, restoring function across the entire jaw. Treatment addresses missing teeth regardless of location within the arch.

Will All-On-4 look natural?

All-On-4 prostheses can be designed to complement facial features and appear natural when properly fabricated. Tooth shade, shape and arrangement are customised during fabrication. However, perception of natural appearance varies between observers and depends on individual facial characteristics.

How soon can I use my new teeth after surgery?

Immediate temporary prostheses are typically placed on the day of implant surgery, allowing soft food consumption shortly after. However, dietary restrictions apply during initial healing. Final prostheses are delivered after 3-6 months healing, at which point dietary restrictions gradually reduce.
